V. Vale "The Dils" (1977)

V. Vale - The Dils (1977)

An extremely historical piece, this shot is known as the first punk rock photo ever taken in San Francisco, on January 17, 1977. Sadly the height of which Jeffrey Scott (vocalist of The Dils) is pogoing is not justified - the mic stand itself is a good full foot off the ground!
