Ellie S. ★★★★★

I’ve stared at this shot of Elton and Bernie backstage for ten minutes and keep noticing something new in their expressions, the way Gru captured that quiet trust between them before the Carnegie Hall show. The black-and-white grain gives it a timeless feel that makes 1971 feel like yesterday.

George X. ★★★★☆

The print really captures that backstage energy, and the detail in Elton’s jacket is sharper than I expected. Framed it for my music room and it looks great, though I wish the listing had included the exact dimensions.
