Did they survive the 70s?
 

These people were approaching 30 in 1970! (Some were actually already 30 as shown on the ages on the cover.)

Would they survive the 70s?

That's awesome! I would love to read that issue.

Some of them have even survived into their 70s...

I had no idea who John Mayall or Alvin Lee was and had to google 'em. Still alive and touring!

I didn't know those two either.

Me neither. And Johnny Winter. Knew the rest though, and some of them didn't make it!

WHAT?
John Mayall and the Blues Breakers?

Johhny Winter?

Are you kidding?

Alvin Lee Ten Years After?

what this is I don't

Sorry foot3, never heard of the Blues Breakers! But I know Ten Years After...I'd Love to Change the World must be on every rock station's regular playlist.

Here is a fascinating slide show featuring some of those living rockers and a bunch of others, then and now.

Would have made a decent score in the Death Pool competition with that list.

god, Mick was hot in his day.

Always sort of scary ... but smart, very smart.

Hmm...

"These people are approaching 30"
"Elvis Presley - 35"
"Johnny Cash - 37"
"Grace Slick - 30"
"Jimi Hendrix - 28" - died when he was 27

That’s Some Mighty Fine Police Work There, Lou...

lol @ CG.

Yeah, as I noted in the OP...some of them were 30 or past.

You're right about Hendrix. He would have been 28 in November of 1970, if only he hadn't died and stuff in September

I don't think this mag was known so much for its crack reporting as it was for images of rock stars.

It was way harder to google in 1970. ;) People reading the mag probably had no idea nor cared about cold hard facts.

Now if you're going to tell me there were inconsistencies in Tiger Beat I will surely cry.

:)

(thas Jimmy McNichol up thar, on the right side, 2nd from bottom. I forgot about HIM and I loved him FOREVER!!!! Even though I looked like his sister.)

I worshiped at the Tiger Beat alter.

I even tricked my folks to taking us to Woody's (in West Carrollton, remember?) to eat Father's Day lunch because they had a HUGE selection of teen mags.

I first loved David Cassidy. A short fling with Tony DeFranco ('memah them? the DeFranco family?) and moved on to Willie Ames (Swiss Family Robinson!) then the Bay City Rollers; then, when a bit older, shame of shame: I thought Billy Idol was hawt.

But my true love, my longest lasting love was with Stevie Nicks. I wanted to BE her.
