It’s Immaterial, 1987 "This rock'n'roll life, it's a bit weird.”

A massively over-exposed long exposure mixed with a snap zoom and an explosion of stage lights, leaving only a vague impression of what is actually there.
It starts with a close-up of the head and upper body of a man with shoulder-length hair  and wearing a dark t-shirt with a white text logo.
His face and most of the background are blown out, massively over-exposed, along with the logo on the t-shirt, while dark areas of the image (his hair, t-shirt, and part of the ceiling behind him) are a light blue.
A snap zoom out has a full length view of him, slightly hunched over, playing a guitar.
Again, all details have been lost, blown out by the exposure, only blue shadows remaining.
