Bruce Springsteen, E Street Band, 1978

The graininess of the black-and-white film gives it a gritty, bootleg-concert feel that suits a 1978 show perfectly. Hung it above my record player and the crowd in the background makes the whole corner feel alive.

Bought this for my dad who saw him on that same tour, and he got quiet for a minute when he opened it. The crowd is visible just at the edge of the frame, which somehow makes the whole thing feel louder. Print quality is sharp, no blur in the details.

The black-and-white grain gives Bruce's face this sweaty, mid-shout intensity that a color shot just couldn't pull off. Hung it above my turntable and it instantly makes the whole corner feel like a 1978 show.
