An electrifying, sweat-drenched portrait of Mick Jagger, captured at the peak of his raw, untamed energy during The Rolling Stones’ historic 1972 Madison Square Garden.concert—a moment now immortalized by the visionary lens of Peter Beard.

This striking 14” x 11” vintage silver gelatin photograph showcases Jagger in full performance mode—shirt open, skin glistening, mouth parted mid-song, his crucifix necklace swaying with kinetic motion. Beard’s composition is intimate yet wild, channeling the animalistic charisma and sexual energy that defined Jagger’s presence during the Stones’ infamous “STP” tour (Stones Touring Party).

On the reverse, the photograph is boldly stamped with: “Terry Southern Collection”—a significant provenance. Southern, the acclaimed counterculture writer (Easy Rider, Dr. Strangelove, The Magic Christian), was covering the 1972 tour for Saturday Review, while Peter Beard and Truman Capote rode with the band on assignment for Rolling Stone. Together, these literary and photographic renegades were embedded inside the chaos of the tour, capturing its mythic moments from the inside.

In 1975, Beard and Southern would collaborate again—this time on an unproduced film adaptation of Beard’s The End of the Game in Kenya’s Tsavo National Park, further entwining their creative partnership.

This is one of a few distinct, oversized prints from the same provenance. Each will be listed separately. This is a true artifact of music, photography, and literary history—capturing Jagger through the eye of Beard, preserved by Southern, and now available to serious collectors of cultural legend.
