(L-R) Paul Simonon, Topper Headon, Joe Strummer and Mick Jones of The Clash live in Boston, MA, February 16, 1979, photographed by Bob Gruen. The show came on the Pearl Harbour Tour, the band's first American tour, in support of their second album, Give 'Em Enough Rope, and Gruen fits all four members into a single frame on stage.
Gruen was well placed to catch the band's first push into America. Born in New York in 1945, he came up photographing Ike and Tina Turner, served as John Lennon's personal photographer in New York, and documented punk and new wave from the New York Dolls and Ramones to the Sex Pistols and Blondie. His photographs are held by the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle.
