Christopher M. ★★★★☆

The contrast in this Bob Gruen shot is perfect—you can almost feel the chaos of that 1973 show. I framed it and it’s already a conversation starter in my living room, though the print could’ve been a touch larger for the price.

Timothy C. ★★★☆☆

The silver gelatin print really captures the gritty energy of the 1973 show, though I wish the framing included a bit more of the stage. It’s a solid piece for a Dolls fan, but the price feels a little steep for the size.
