Thanks, I'm glad you like it! The shot was taken at The Summit in Houston, Texas in late November of 1975 and as I remember it was the first concert of the tour. It was also the first concert in the newly completed Summit. The shot was taken at the end of the Tommy set that they played so it was at the end of See Me, Feel Me. At times you can find the video of this very concert on youtube although right now I am getting a message that says it is not available in the US. But I've seen it in the past. If you can find the youtube clip you can see the jump from almost the exact angle but without the flare. But don't blink because it happens very fast. The TV camera was between me and the stage but on the floor level so the spotlight did not shine into the TV camera's lens, so no flare.

Hi Mike. I've enjoyed the Who print. It was originally going to go into my music room (some call them man-caves) but my wife liked it so much it is in our living room. I actually saw the Who on this tour so it adds a bit of nostalgia as well. Do you recall what song they were playing in this shot? Again, excellent work. I love the multi-faceted colors.
