The closing montage features a ton of period images and home video footage, and while some of it can't accurately be assigned to any one person, there are nevertheless a number of shots which were reportedly taken from Cameron Crowe's own Super 8 home movies and photo collection.

Above, for instance, is very clearly a picture of a young Crowe, while below, we can see a slightly more grown-up Crowe (on the left) hanging out with either friends or relatives.

Quite conveniently, the boy in the middle of the frame bears a fair resemblance to a young Tom Cruise.
