CBGB, Inside the Club, 1996

You can practically hear the feedback screeching through Bob Gruen's lens; the black-and-white grain is so thick it feels like you're standing on that sticky floor. I’ve had this up for a week and catch myself just staring into the crowd, imagining the noise.

The lighting in this shot is pure 1996 — you can almost smell the stale beer and hear the feedback squeal. Bob Gruen really captured the grit of that room without any gloss, and the print quality does it justice. It's hanging in my hallway and every punk friend who visits stops to stare.
