![<p>I had shot a bunch of shows of theirs, and I knew what part of the song David Lee Roth would do this jump. So I would watch him, and when I saw him get up on the back of the drum riser, I tried to get the shot. You only get one chance to get that perfect shot. With this one, I had to use a flash to stop the motion, and I had to prejudge the focus because I never used automatic focus, and it’s hard when they’re moving. I wanted to get more Eddie [Van Halen] in there, but you gotta go with what you can. I think it’s kind of cool to get a little bit of Eddie screaming. But with Dave, I don’t even know how he got up there that high. He just jumped off. It was almost like he had a trampoline, but he didn’t have one. It was amazing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was always just a party touring with them. They used to give me passes to give to the girls. I remember, Dave would put your initials on the pass, and if the girl he ended up with had your initials on it, you’d get a bonus. I don’t even know how much that was. I definitely gave out some passes, but I never collected.</p>](https://www.rollingstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/van_halen_1980_rt_DS_weiss.jpg?crop=3:2,smart&w=90)
![<p>John Lennon sitting at a café in Yonkers, New York. March 28th, 1975. “That was one of my favorite afternoons with [John],” Gruen writes of a day he shot with the ex-Beatle at Untermyer Park. “The park has many beautiful, differently landscaped areas and we took a lot of pictures. It was a chilly day and, on the way home, we stopped at a diner nearby for tea and a roll. I’ve always loved the picture of John with his cup of tea, and the dollar bill lying on the check. He’s got a nice jacket on, but he’s also got an army coat over it. The image shows a ‘working class hero,’ which is indeed what John was to so many people.”</p>](https://www.rollingstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/C-03_JohnLennon_WorkingClassHero1975_Gruen.jpg?crop=3:2,smart&w=90)
![<p>John Eastman with Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney in disguise during a George Harrison concert at Madison Square Garden. December 19th or 20th, 1974. “I met [Linda’s brother] John Eastman, on Elton John’s flight to Boston,” writes Gruen. “A year later, I was photographing George Harrison at Madison Square Garden and, as I was looking around the auditorium, I spotted John Eastman. It was strange. He was smartly dressed as always, but he was sitting with what looked like a couple of hippies. Looking closer, I realized that they were actually John’s sister Linda and her husband, Paul McCartney, minus the wigs and Paul’s fake mustache. I couldn’t believe it. … I fired off some pictures. I was the only photographer in the place who recognized them. It was all thanks to meeting John Eastman on the Starship. That’s how things happened. One thing led to another. I had to wait another 45 years before I discovered the postscript to that part of the story. In 2019, I bumped into John Eastman again at a benefit. I mentioned that picture, and he was astonished: ‘You took that one? We love it!'”</p>](https://www.rollingstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/JL7_1974_8_Gruen.jpg?crop=3:2,smart&w=90)
