Working for various media, magazines and radio stations, Grecco captured great images with his camera at concerts such as Talking Heads, Ramones, The Cramps, Dead Kennedys, David Bowie and The Clash. Visual evidence of his time in Boston can be seen reflected in one of his books Punk Post Punk New Wave: Onstage, Backstage, In Your Face, 1978-1991, an impressive collection of the best of his photographs. in black and white. Currently, he is exhibiting his works where he shows the glory days of the punk, post-punk and New Wave movements.
