During the years of 1979-1986, Boston and the surrounding area, was a hot-spot for the rock and punk music scene. I was fortunate to photograph some of those bands during their performances. They included Anthrax, B-52s, Billy Idol, Bill Bruford, Cheap Trick, DYS, Howard DeVoto, Human Sexual Response, Ian Hunter, Jerry's Kids, Joan Jett, Lene Lovich, Mick Ronson, New Models, The Cars, The Jam, The Plastics, The Shirts, Proletariat, Talking Heads, The Clash, Tom Petty, X, and XTC.
