Eddie Van Halen, Day on the Green Festival, Oakland Coliseum Stadium, Oakland, CA, 23 Juli 1978.

Didn't expect the paper quality to be this good for a concert shot from '78 — the grain in Eddie's hair and the battered Frankenstein guitar come through sharp, not washed out. It's hanging above my turntable now and every guitarist who visits just stares at it.

The print captures that 1978 Oakland show with real sharpness in the stage lighting, and the archival detail in Eddie's expression is spot on. I wish the paper stock were slightly thicker for the price, but the image itself is exactly what I hoped for.
