Red Hot Chili Peppers, Seattle, WA, 1987

The grain of the photo paper really makes the black-and-white tones pop, and the shot of the original lineup backstage feels like catching a secret moment in rock history. I've got it hung near my desk, and the energy of that 1987 Seattle show practically jumps off the wall.

I framed this right when it arrived, and the way the lighting catches Flea’s bass in the background brings the whole late-80s vibe to life. The paper stock feels substantial, not flimsy like some prints I’ve bought before. It’s a perfect snapshot of that era for any real fan.

The grain on this 1987 backstage photo really captures the raw energy of the original lineup—you can almost hear the chaos. Took off one star because the frame arrived with a tiny scratch, but the image itself is sharp and worth the wait.
