Billy Idol, Boston, Massachusetts, 1982, Performing

Michael Grecco photographed Billy Idol performing in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1982, as Idol's early solo career brought British punk and new wave imagery into a larger concert setting. The photograph records the singer at the microphone under stage light, placing the work within Grecco's documentation of live performance in the early 1980s. It complements the seated portrait from the same year by showing Idol in a public performance context.
