The grain on this black-and-white print is gorgeous, way sharper than the grainy scans I've seen online. Mounted it next to my turntable and it somehow makes the whole corner feel like 1969.

Didn't expect the September 1969 date to matter much until I framed it next to my other live album shots. The black-and-white outtake has this loose, unposed feel the final liner photo didn't keep.

The grain and contrast in this black-and-white print really capture that raw 1969 energy—you can almost hear the Dead in the room. It arrived well-packaged and looks sharp framed next to my other music photos. This one’s going straight on the wall.
