Backstage Pass

For better or worse, rock & roll has soundtracked a shifting American culture since its mid-twentieth century genesis. With powerhouse hits and primally-charged world tours, rockstars may be the stuff of fear, fascination and die-hard fandoms but who are they when spotlights fade to black?

Drawing from the archives of renowned photographers like Lynn Goldsmith, Bob Gruen, Jerry Schatzberg, Henry Diltz, Ethan Russell, Eddie Kramer, Danny Clinch and Allan Tannenbaum among others granted utterly intimate access to the green rooms and sidelines where music legends are truly made, Morrison Hotel Gallery is pleased to introduce Backstage Pass, its latest bi-coastal exhibition hitting both gallery locations on Thursday, September 17th, 2026.

From the trans-Atlantic breakthrough of Beatlemania and The Rolling Stones to the off-stage antics of rock royalty, this genre-transcendent retrospective is the stuff of which legends are born, offering fans an all-access glimpse into some of the most legendary nights in music history, on public view through 10/11/2026.
