Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - September 22, 1974.
To celebrate I am offering for the very first time a new affordable framed print.

I was just starting my first year in college, my graduation gown was lying in rags at my feet. My hopes were to become a photographer & I wanted to shoot Rock & Roll. So here I was, 18 years old and had an opportunity to capture that perfect shot. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon, a free concert on a small outdoor stage, It was my first Springsteen concert, but at that time the band was not very well known.
I stood in the small crowd, camera in hand, I felt a surge of excitement. The music pounded through my veins and the energy of the band live on stage was infectious. I snapped some photos and one photo would become an iconic image of a superstar that is still going strong today. Fifty years later Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band have played another outdoor show in the Garden State, this time in their own backyard or more like on the beach in Asbury Park where it all began.
