From the designer’s website:
Pedro Lobo’s book is a visual journey documenting the Rolling Stones’ 1979 charity concert in Oshawa, Toronto. This unique event, born from Keith Richards’ legal challenges, became a pivotal moment in rock history.
Faced with drug-related charges in Canada, Keith Richards orchestrated the band’s return for a free charity show. The result? Absolution and a legendary performance.
In RS79 Toronto, Lobo’s lens immortalizes the night’s energy, the crowd’s passion, and the Stones’ raw performance. It’s an unexpected visual testament to unity, redemption, and the universal language of music.
