Neil Young, Philadelphia, PA, 1970

The backstage shot captures Young mid-strum with that perfect shadow on the wall, and the print's clarity makes the 1970 grain feel almost tactile. It's the exact cover image I grew up staring at, so having it framed in the living room is a little piece of history I don't tire of.

I'd seen this image a million times, but the print quality and the way the backstage light falls across his face is something else in person. Even the paper stock feels substantial, like a real archival piece from that era.

The grain and shadow in this photo make it feel like you're actually standing backstage with him. Seeing the image that ended up on the *Greatest Hits* cover in person is a quiet thrill for any fan.
