Steve Galli has been around the world and attended THOUSANDS of concerts. He's been the one behind the lens capturing iconic moments in rock and roll history for decades. Steve was the house photographer for The Palace, Pine Knob, and Meadowbrook for more than 25 years. He's also captured countless moments in the history of WCSX and our sister station, WRIF. You can find Steve Galli at the WCSX display at Autorama March 4th-6th. Steve doesn't just hang out behind the lens... Here's Steve hanging out behind the mic a few years back. #vintage
