Iconic Photos of Celebrities Partying in the 1970s

Roger Daltrey and Steven Van Zandt share a candid moment at the Mudd Club in New York City, 1979—two music icons from different corners of rock ’n’ roll coming together on common ground. Daltrey exudes British rock star charm in a leather bomber jacket and open white shirt.

Van Zandt, in his signature beret and polka-dot scarf, brings gritty American flair. Behind them, a “Quadrophenia” poster nods to The Who’s cinematic venture, anchoring the moment in time. The energy feels unfiltered—two legends enjoying a night that was likely louder than it looks.
