Richard ★★★★★ Sep 8, 2026

The contrast in this print really makes the Santa Barbara stage vibe come through—you can almost feel the heat of that May evening. I’ve framed it next to my other live shots, and the detail in Jerry’s hands is sharp without losing the film’s natural grain. A keeper for any deadhead collection.

Olivia ★★★★★ Sep 7, 2026

The composition catches Jerry mid-strum with that classic 1973 energy, and the black-and-white print feels like it was pulled straight from the archive’s negatives. Bruce Polonsky really knew how to frame the stage light, and the Santa Barbara show’s vibe comes through clear even in still form.

The grain and contrast in this Bruce Polonsky print are exactly what I hoped for—it feels like a moment pulled straight from the archive. I've got it framed in the hallway and keep catching myself stopping to look at the way Jerry's hands are mid-strum. Great addition for any Deadhead's wall.
