Leo L. ★★★★★

I’ve been a fan of that era for years, and this print finally gives me something tangible to connect with. The contrast between Patti and John Cale on stage feels almost electric, like you're right there at The Bottom Line.

Julian ★★★★★

The grain in this shot is so alive it feels like you're standing in that crowded room, watching Patti and John feed off each other's chaos. I've stared at the black-and-white detail for ages and keep noticing new textures in the crowd’s faces. It's the kind of print that makes your walls feel louder
