Lynyrd Skynyrd, Oakland, CA, 4 luglio 1977.

The grain on this print gives it such a raw, vintage feel — you can almost hear the crowd between songs. I framed it for my office and the black-and-white contrast still pops even in dim lighting.

Hanging this in my den next to the turntable, and the July 4, 1977 Oakland shot has this raw live-show energy you don't get from studio promo pics. The black-and-white print quality holds up great even framed under glass.

The black-and-white grain really captures that raw July 4th energy, and you can almost feel the crowd's heat just looking at it. Greg Gaar's shot from the photo archive is sharp enough to make out the sweat on the stage lights. It's a keeper for any fan of that era.
