- A black and white photograph of audience members at a Beastie Boys concert in Kalamazoo, Michigan during the Licensed to Ill tour.
- The image depicts a crowd of people at the edge of a stage or barrier. Most are reaching their hands up or out. A crushed beer can is visible on the stage edge in front of them and another object, possibly a plastic bottle, is visible in the top foreground. Droplets of water splash across the image, reflected in the lights. Beneath the image at the bottom right is the photographer's signature [Ricky Powell / 2000].
