Historical Context
Billy Idol is a British rock musician who rose to prominence as the frontman of Generation X (1976–1981) before launching a highly successful solo career. His albums Billy Idol (1982), Rebel Yell (1983), and Whiplash Smile (1986) established him as one of the defining figures of 1980s rock and new wave, producing landmark singles including "White Wedding," "Rebel Yell," "Eyes Without a Face," and "Cradle of Love." Steve Stevens, Idol's long-running guitarist and creative collaborator, co-wrote many of the band's most celebrated recordings and is widely regarded as one of the most innovative and distinctive guitarists of the era.
Mountain Winery is a premier boutique outdoor concert venue in Saratoga, California — an intimate, vineyard-set amphitheater seating approximately 2,500 that hosts a curated summer and fall concert series. Its small capacity and close artist-to-audience proximity make it one of the most coveted live performance venues in the Bay Area. Billy Idol's performances at the venue in both 2010 and 2011 were photographed and reviewed from front-row seats, with multiple items obtained directly from the performers.
Item Descriptions
Steve Stevens Signed Hamer Prototype SS Guitar Pickguard: A black guitar pickguard signed by Steve Stevens in gold marker, obtained directly from Stevens. The angular asymmetric shape is consistent with the pickguard profile of the Hamer Prototype SS — the signature model co-designed by Stevens and Hamer co-founder Jol Dantzig that became his primary performance instrument throughout the Rebel Yell era and beyond.
Billy Idol Signed Paperboard Plate — Mountain Winery, Saratoga, CA (August 16, 2010): A pressed paperboard white plate signed by Billy Idol with the inscription "SARATOGA 16/8/10 Rock n Roll" written around the inner perimeter and signed "Billy Idol" in the center in blue marker.

Stage-Used Guitar Pick — Steve Stevens, Mountain Winery, Saratoga, CA (October 12, 2011): A green custom guitar pick bearing the "Raygun" graphic on the face — the same robot/raygun motif associated with Stevens' custom Hamer "Raygun" guitar — signed by Steve Stevens on the reverse. Stage-used at the October 12, 2011 Mountain Winery performance.
Stage-Used Guitar Pick — Stephen McGrath (bass), Mountain Winery, Saratoga, CA (August 16, 2010): A white Dunlop USA custom guitar pick bearing the "BILLY IDOL" logo on the face, signed by bassist Stephen McGrath on the reverse.

Billy Idol Signed Concert Set List — Hult Center for the Performing Arts, Eugene, Oregon (October 28, 2012): A printed production set list from the Eugene, Oregon performance, signed by Billy Idol in blue marker across the face.

Five Original Professional Concert Photographs — Mountain Winery, Saratoga, CA (October 12, 2011): Five original photographs taken at the October 12, 2011 Mountain Winery performance, professionally shot from front-row center seats.
