The graininess of the black-and-white film gives this shot such a raw, sweaty feel you can almost hear the feedback. I framed it next to my turntable and the contrast between Jimi's white guitar and the dark stage backdrop looks incredible in person. Arrived flat and well-protected too.

Didn't expect a 1969 festival shot to look this sharp, but the print quality really holds up at 16x20. Hendrix's posture mid-solo says everything about that Santa Clara set.

The black-and-white grain in this shot is gorgeous, way richer than the glossy reprints I usually see. You can almost hear the feedback squeal just looking at his hands on the Strat. Been staring at it on my wall for a week now.
