ジミ・ヘンドリックス、サンタクララ・ポップ・フェスティバル、サンノゼ、カリフォルニア州、1969年5月25日

I've got this framed next to my turntable and the black-and-white tones hold up beautifully, especially the detail in his hands on the fretboard. Knowing it was shot at the Santa Clara Pop Festival in May '69 makes it feel like a real slice of history rather than just a poster.

The grain and contrast on this print really bring out the intensity of that live show, you can almost hear the feedback. It’s a sharp, well-documented piece of history that feels like it belongs in a gallery, not just a frame. I’ve stared at it a dozen times already.
