Beastie Boys by Cathal Dawson

This shot was taken just minutes before the band were due onstage at the Tivoli Theatre in Dublin. Being naive enough at the time to believe what I read in the press I was expecting to find myself having to deal with three swaggering egotistical loudmouths. Couldn't have been further from the truth. It was barely a five minute shoot but they were  the most down to earth guys you could meet. Friendly, relaxed, helpful, even offered me a drink of bottled water while I was fuddling around with my camera. I was a hundred times more nervous than they were considering they were the ones who were only minutes away from going onstage in front of a crowd of five or six hundred psyched-up fans.

 

Onstage they were dynamite. I was blown away by their musicianship. I was expecting three guys just rapping about parties in Brooklyn but man they were incredible, not just as rappers but as musicians.

Edition 100 was created to give fans and collectors a chance to own pictures of their favorite bands, or images associated with them, at fair prices.  

 

 

New images are offered at an introductory price, allowing entry-level collectors to begin accumulating what will become a valuable collection.
