Full interview with Gijsbert Hanekroot X Blue Lotus Gallery 2019
As part of the exhibition FROM ABBA TO ZAPPA, we took the opportunity to do a full 40 minute video interview with Gijsbert Hanekroot. This will last for years to come instead of an artist talk only to be witnessed by those who attend. We are lucky to have been able to help document some of the stories as told directly from the rock photographer himself.
“The seventies: hectic, exciting, creative, constantly reinventing itself, full of self-confidence, sometimes tiresome, but never for long. What I’m saying is nothing new. Many have said it before me in different words, but that doesn’t make it any less true. I know, because I was there,” are Gilbert’s own words and his photographic rock-archive are a testament to his witnessing of this eventful period in music history.
Born in 1945, Gilbert grew up in Amsterdam. At the age of 13, he was given his first camera by his mother. To hone his skills he read every book he could find on photography. At sixteen he dropped out of school and soon after started an internship with Philip Mechanicus, a celebrated photographer principally known for his portraits of writers and stage photography. He learned how to shoot in imperfect light conditions and how to develop his prints in the dark room with in a grainy black and white style. “What makes me deeply satisfied is catching that one fragile fleeting moment where the right light meets a striking composition and a certain beauty that derives from realness. I liked to stay during the whole interview and photograph until the subject was bored of me. That’s the moment that he or she would stop acting or posing, those often became the best pictures…” said Gilbert. There was room for things to just ‘happen’ and experimentation was taking place across genres and industries, it was indeed encouraged to come-up with new ways of doing things and Gilbert believed that the journalists and photographers who were most ahead were those who worked with “a lack of inhibition, an openness that wasn’t limited by marketing concepts and sales pitches.”
Rock music was real, the performance itself was a tuning-in to a deeply primal human energumen. And you feel that when you look at his work. He had access to musicians under conditions that would be inconceivable today, he was allowed to work for the entire duration of the concert, not only the first three songs, as is the case today.
Impressively, his first ever shot was taken in 1963 of the one and only John Coltrane in a tuxedo holding his tenor sax waiting to play. By the seventies Gilbert was the most wanted rock photographer in Holland, often commissioned by the Dutch leading music magazine Oor. Those were the days of music, soon after Woodstock, the rock and pop scene literally exploded.
People would spend hours in record shops browsing vinyl to find their favourite records which in turn determined your lifestyle and fashion, even your politics and religion - music was everything. Attending concerts was an act of spirituality and Gilbert documented well-known figures as they transitioned from mere musicians to status of Gods, for example he recalls, “one of the more important shots I did is in 1973 of Neil Young with his band The Crazy Horse at the venue The Rainbow Theatre in London. It became the cover of his Tonight is The Night, released in 1975 which according to some is his best record to date.”
Anton Corbijn, a well known fellow rock photographer started as an intern at Gilbert’s studio. “I passed him my knowledge on how to photograph and dark room techniques. I’m happy to have somehow contributed to his career although it was obvious to me that he had the ambition and determination to succeed. After 15 years I decided to throw in the towel and concentrate on other adventures instead.” Corbijn continued, took over at Oor Magazine and soon after moved to London where he broke through in the 80’s and made it as an internationally known photographer. Finally Gilbert is receiving the recognition he deserves as the first Dutch rock photographer, his work speaking for itself so clearly telling the story of his achievement.
Ten years ago Gilbert began to digitise his archives, this led to the publication of ‘Abba..Zappa | Seventies Rock Photography’ (Veenman, 2008) and consequent exhibitions in Paris, London, Moscow, Tokyo and Amsterdam. Today Gijsbert ‘Gilbert’ Hanekroot works mainly as a documentary and street photographer.

Private Exhibition Tour with rock photographer Gijsbert Hanekroot X Blue Lotus Gallery
We are pleased to share a private Exhibition Tour with Gijsbert Hanekroot when he came to Hong Kong to launch the FROM ABBA TO ZAPPA exhibition at Blue Lotus Gallery on 16th February 2019. It was an honour for us to host his iconic photographs and get to know more closely this body of work that still draws a crowd today.

Janis Joplin - Piece of my heart (Live at New York’s Generation Club 1968)
Piece of My Heart is a romantic love song written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns and originally recorded by Erma Franklin in 1967.
The song was first released from the single album Cheap Thrills (A-side Piece of my heart and B-side Turtle blues) by Columbia in August 1968.
The video was filmed at New York’s Generation Club on April 7, 1968 and released from the Dvd Big Brother And The Holding Co.* With Janis Joplin – Nine Hundred Nights produced by
Pioneer Artists in 2001.
Janis Lyn Joplin Also known as Pearl(January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970) was an American rock singer and songwriter. She was one of the biggest female rock stars of her era.After releasing three albums, she died of an accidental heroin overdose at age 27. A fourth album, Pearl, was released in January 1971, just over three months after her death. It reached number one on the charts.
In 1967, Joplin rose to fame during an appearance at Monterey Pop Festival, where she was the lead singer of the then little-known San Francisco psychedelic rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company.After releasing two albums with the band, she left Big Brother to continue as a solo artist with her own backing groups, first the Kozmic Blues Band and then the Full Tilt Boogie Band. She appeared at the Woodstock festival and the Festival Express train tour. Five singles by Joplin went into the Billboard Top 100, including a cover of the song Me and Bobby McGee, which reached number 1 in March 1971.Her most popular songs include her cover versions of Piece of My Heart, Cry Baby, Down on Me, Ball 'n' Chain, and Summertime; and her original song Mercedes Benz, her final recording.
Piece of my heart lyrics:
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man - yeah!
An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.
You're out on the streets looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,
Babe, and I cry all the time!
But each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.
I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c'mon now.
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.
You know you got it - whoahhhhh!!
Take it!
Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby,
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
Thank you for watching me!

DIO - Stand Up and Shout (Philadelphia 1986)
The song was first released from the studio album Holy Diver by Warner Bros. Records in 25 May 1983.
The video was recorded at the Spectrum in Philadelphia on June 17, 1986.
Dio was an American heavy metal band formed in 1982 and led by vocalist Ronnie James Dio, after he left Black Sabbath with intentions to form a new band with fellow former Black Sabbath member Vinny Appice, the band's drummer.The name Dio was chosen because it made sense from a commercial standpoint, as the name was already well known at that time.
The band released ten studio albums and had numerous line-up changes over the years with Dio himself being the only constant member. Guitarists included Craig Goldy, Doug Aldrich, Vivian Campbell, Warren DeMartini, Tracy G, Jake E. Lee and Rowan Robertson.
The band dissolved in 2010 when Ronnie James Dio died of stomach cancer at the age of 67. The band has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide.
Stand Up and Shout lyrics:
It's the same old song
You've gotta be somewhere at sometime
And they never let you fly
It's like broken glass
You get cut before you see it
So open up your eyes
You've got desire
So let it out
You've got the power
Stand up and shout
Stand up and shout
You've got wings of steel
But they never really move you
And you only seem to crawl
You've been nailed to the wheel
But never really turning
You know you've got to want it all
You've got desire
So let it out
You've got the power
Shout it out
Stand up and shout it out
Stand up and shout
You can shout
You are the strongest chain
And you’re not just some reflection
So never hide again
You are the driver
You own the road
You are the fire
Go on explode
You've got desire
So let it out
You've got the power
Stand up and shout
Stand up and shout
Stand up and shout
You gotta shout
You gotta shout
You gotta shout
You gotta let it out
Shout, shout, shout
Stand up and shout
Shout, shout, shout
Shout, shout, shout
Stand up and shout
Alright!
Thank you for watching me!

Golden Earring - Going to the Run (Live in Ahoy, Rotterdam)2006
The song was first released from the Maxi-Single Going to the Run (A-side Going to the Run and B-side Time Warp) by Columbia Records in April 1991.
The video was recorded at Ahoy Rotterdam arena in Netherlands by
Universal Music B.V in Feb 1, 2006.
Golden Earring is a Dutch rock band, founded in 1961 in The Hague as The Golden Earrings (the definite article was dropped in 1967, while the s was dropped in 1969).They achieved worldwide fame with their international hit songs Radar Love in 1973, which went to number one on the Dutch charts, reached the top ten in the UK and went to number thirteen on the US charts, Twilight Zone in 1982, and When the Lady Smiles in 1984.During their career they had nearly 30 top-ten singles on the Dutch charts; over the years they produced 25 studio albums.
The band's lineup consists of co-founders Rinus Gerritsen (bass and keyboards) and George Kooymans (vocals and guitar), along with Barry Hay (vocals, guitar, flute and saxophone), and Cesar Zuiderwijk (drums and percussion). All musicians in the present lineup of the band have been continuous members of the band since 1970, although other musicians have joined and left the band during the intervening years.
The single Going To The Run (released April 1991) is a sensitive ode by Barry Hay to a deceased Hells Angel biker friend (Ed Wijnhof, who was a member of the Gouda Black Harley motor chapter) who drove himself dead against an Amsterdam tram. Barry Hay attended his funeral and placed a bottle of Jack Daniels in the coffin. After this tragic death, other Angels like Hells Angels leader Paulus strongly suggested Hay should write a song about his biker friend Ed. It brought the band in the Dutch top 3 again. No Dutch band had ever done this 25 years after their first single! The single was released in several versions. The first version of the vinyl single released had a purple background for the cover but was soon afterwards replaced with an orange one. The cdsingle was released in two formats. A 3inch two track cdsingle in both purple and orange cardboard sleeves and a 5inch three track cd-maxisingle in both color versions. This maxi-cd contained 2 bonustracks called Time warp and Steamroller. The 3inch format cdsingle was soon abandonned and these cdsingles are now kind of collectors items. The 12inch Going To The Run vinyl maxisingle is only released in an orange cover version.
Going to the Run lyrics:
I could bet on new-years eve
He'd call me up at night
From the other side of the world
Ed was always there alright
Ed's got the looks of a movie star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He ride a bike instead of a car
I wanna be his friend
Dancing in the living room
With the ladies so nice
Like a child with a wisdom tooth
He's just a friend of mine
Ed's got the rings and the colors
Ed's got the wind in his hair
He goes a riding with the brothers
He's got a fist in the air
Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
Well, heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel
One summer at the festival
Holding on real tight
On the back of a Harley
He took me for a ride in the sky
Ed's got the looks of a movie star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He'd ride a bike instead of a car
I'll always be his friend
Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
And his wings started to shine so bright
Like a fire in the night
Going to the run, forever Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
Forever going to the run, run Angel
Well, heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel.
Thank you for watching me!
