[80-04 X Dec Exene 1]

A pensive moment of "Decline."

[80-04 X Dec Ex Bil DJ]

Rhino used a crop of this on the cover of "We're Desperate" from the 1994 DIY series. "Decline of Western Civilization" filming at the recently demolished Club 88 on Pico in West LA.

[80-04 X Dec Exene 2]

Gotta rescan this cos it's fuzzy, but original sharp.

 

[80-04 X Dec Exene John 1]

Rhino has used this a few times (DIY and No Thanks), as well as Track 16 as part of the 1999 "Forming" exhibit press kit.

Exene chose this for the cover of one of the "Live at the Masque" CDs.

One of those transcendent moments with Exene and John.
