Bob Dylan and Bette Midler Photograph by Ken Regan

An original 10" x 13.75" black and white photograph of Bob Dylan and Bette Midler working in the studio together that was taken by photographer Ken Regan. Regan's "Camera 5" photo credit is stamped on the verso and blue pencil notation indicates, "Rolling Thunder, Bob Dylan, Bette Midler.” Reported accounts indicate that Dylan wanted Midler to appear in his 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue Show, but instead ended up together with her in the studio recording his song “Buckets of Rain” for her album “Songs for the New Depression.” An incredibly prolific photographer, Regan’s famous photographs include some of the biggest sports heroes including Muhammad and his tour coverage with Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones, the Band’s Last Waltz, and George Harrison’s benefit for Bangladesh amongst many other Rock festivals and events. Excellent condition. Estimate: $200 - $300.
