1977. U.K. Punk at its finest.

Cranked up really high.

The whole frame has a green tinge from the stage lights, with streaks of green, purple, and blue light throughout.

A man with short, dark hair swept down over his forehead, wearing a whit polo shirt with brown and orange bands around the body, and a blue pair of jeans, standing on a stage and playing a brown and white bass guitar.

Amplifiers sit on the stage behind him, also tinted red, while the walls and ceiling at the back of the stage are black, with green speckles of reflected light on metal frames right at the back.
