New York Dolls, Los Angeles, CA 1973

The shot of Johnny Thunders mid-strum in the background really pulls you into that chaotic LA performance, the print quality is sharp enough to see the sweat on his jacket. It captures a raw energy that my other concert photos just don't have.

I’ve always loved the Dolls’ raw stage presence, and this print captures that messy, live-wire energy perfectly—especially Johnny Thunders’ sneer in the center. The black-and-white finish makes the whole scene feel like you’re right there in 1973 watching them tear through a set.

The energy in this shot is incredible—you can almost hear the chaos of that '73 TV performance. David Johansen's pose and Jerry Nolan's drumming are frozen perfectly in the black-and-white grain. Looks great in my small frame.
