Madonna...Raw: A Very Early Concert

Not many photographers would dare to show all their photos from a single shooting to the public. When the editor of the Encyclopedia Madonnica told me that he needed to see all of my shots from a single concert by Madonna that meant I needed to rescan all four rolls of 35mm B&W film that I had shot in October, 1981. Reviewing all the images, I saw that there were shots that I had forgotten all about, quite a few really nice shots, many more that were OK and only a few that were blurry from Madonna's movements or out of focus.So to end any further discussion, here are all the shots. I wrote a short text about my Madonna experience and include a short interview with the guitar player that played with Madonna onstage that night so long ago in Roslyn, Long Island, NY.I present to you here the real Madonna. Before recording contracts, before she had decided on her stage costumes, before she had the songs that would become her hits.

About the Author
The photography career of George DuBose began when he started an apprenticeship to professional fashion photographers in NYC. After his work day, DuBose would regularly go out and document aspects of the New York City nightlife. Many of the sojourns involved shooting rock bands in live concerts. The connections that DuBose made eventually led to his first album cover for the B52s. DuBose worked with many New Wave and Punk bands and eventually was hired as the art director for the Island Records NY office. Later, he was the first art director and then photo editor of SPIN magazine, before returning to Island Records. George now lives in Cologne, Germany and works with hip hop and rock artists all around Europe.
