PdL photos 1969/1975

Just wanted to share some photos I came across in J.M. Caballero Bonald, Colita Luces y sombras del flamenco, Sevilla, 2006

From 1969
Can you spot Paco on the group photo?

And 6 years later (1975):
Weren't we (at least some of us) young in those days?

Sure. He´s the sixth from left.

Thanks for the photos; nostalgia is like a great meal only behind a window.

Too early for me personally ( heard a first flamenco concert in 1976 or so, and of Paco maybe from ~ 1978 on ), but the atmosphere in the pics sure is familiar.
Those were the times.

Paco. Topless.

In linguistics, they sometimes speak of the "productivity" of natural languages -- the fact that natural languages lend themselves to constructing a seemingly infinite number of novel expressions. 'Paco. Topless.' is one which I never would have expected. Until now...

True that man , it looks strange for a guy like Paco to be posing since he has always been so authentic.

It was the seventies, everyone experimenting.
I have quite such pictures too, which were done only then and not in times afterwards.
To me they are funny to look at, nothing one ought to be ashamed of.

Good point. Just my opinion and certainly its nothing to be ashamed it just seemed a bit out of character but as Kudo suggests wtf do I know really. Probably just rolling with the good times back then , i noticed in that other photo he had a women hanging off him aswel never seen that either.

Either way though i still hold this opinion , i don't see how someone could create so well and so much without reflecting some kind of higher level of consciousness or awareness. It was a never an act and he never dropped it because he couldn't even if he wanted to , hence authentico imo.
