Here's a bit of additional information provided by Steve Azzara:

These photos were from a great show - a typical Faces show with many wine bottles left behind in the dressing rooms. I had lied my way into a backstage pass, shot the photos, and then went to work after the show - I was working the midnight shift in a photo lab. In the morning I drove to Manhattan - woke up Rod - still don’t know what I was thinking other than, “he should really see these pictures”.  He liked them - gave me Peter’s phone number and the number of his hotel in Roanoke, Virginia and told me to let him know if I had made contact with Peter. His plane was late, but he returned my call when he got in. I was 17 and hanging outside with my friends when my mother called me and very calmly yelled “Rod Stewart is on the phone” giving me instant “The Man” status, (lol). I got paid $200 to $250. - don’t remember exactly. I spent it all on copies of the album to give to friends and relatives. It was the first professional work I had ever done. I’m still a photographer today, but it is never as much fun as it was back then.
