Concert photos

Blues festival Gaisruck, Austria, don't remember the name of Italian duo...

Not the greatest of photos, but here is Robert Plant and Alison Krauss last year at Red Rocks Colorado.
It was a spur of the moment trip for us.
Wonderful venue and a great show by one of my favorites.

Most all other concerts I was at was way before we even had cell phones to take pics.

I envy you

Kinda forgot about this thread.

Saw Anders Osborne with a sax player up in Connecticut last month. Odd as it may seem, the combo was incredible.

Hmm, not sure why the photo went in rotated like that, but I can't figure out how to right it.

Thank you @GD Fan for the thread (and the nice photos).
In the 1970s, the NYC-metro Rock-n-Roll concert venues were not friendly places for toting in big hunkin' 35mm SLRs. That is, if your camera did not get ripped-off, en route!
I lost my dad's minox 'spy-camera' in a Ramones concert and slave-labor was my punishment for the whole summer that year.
One venue wanted to confiscate my Canon A1, so I decided to go vigilante:

/\ This was the 110 format SLR w/interchangeable lenses (+flash, +winder) from Asahi Pentax. I used up two of these auto110 bodies before stepping up to the Super version few years later. When we went to concerts, I'd stash the auto110, the lenses, and the flash in my pockets, Never had confrontations at the venue entrances again.

I still have the majority of my kit for mine (an aluminum carry case caused that to occur).

I didn't have much luck getting a decent photo.

That IS a great one, in my opinion.

Do these bands have names or are they just random gatherings of performers?

First group called Manny but it looks as though they've had personnel changes in the last 9 years https://manny.ch/
Second group, now extinct, were from Liverpool and called Little Triggers.
The third group, headlining a festival in the village park were called Somadem. At the time they all lived locally but some are now elsewhere in France and one works for the BBC in London.

Thank you! Bands & personnel changes seem to go together more often than not.
And sometimes they are put together for just one song on a a live album:
John Lennon and his fiancee Yoko Ono performed as part of a one-shot supergroup called The Dirty Mac, featuring Eric Clapton on guitar, Mitch Mitchell (of The Jimi Hendrix Experience) on drums, and the Stones' Keith Richards on bass. Of the Dirty Mac's one-song, one-off performance, the journalist David Dalton, who attended the filming, wrote in Rolling Stone magazine in 1970, "Simply the presence of all these magicians together is completely overwhelming." After the group's performance of Lennon's "Yer Blues," which segued into an extended, avant-garde jam featuring Ono's wailing, Dalton described the audience as "totally awestruck; they do not move or talk. It was breathtaking."

The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus​

Indeed, the whole of the Rolling Stones Rock'nRoll Circus is a rare treat, so glad we were able to see it after many years wait.

I've had the album for many years (a few of the reasons that it was withheld from release for a long time [according to Wikipedia]:

The film was meant to be aired on the BBC, but the Rolling Stones withheld it, contending that they did so because they felt their performance was substandard; they were clearly exhausted after 15 hours of filming (and some indulgence in drugs).<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_R...ll_Circus#cite_note-ultimateclassicrock.com-6"><span>[</span>6<span>]</span></a> It was Brian Jones' last appearance with the Rolling Stones; he drowned some seven months later while the film was being edited. Some speculate that another reason for not releasing the film was that the Who, who were fresh off a concert tour, upstaged the Stones on their own production.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones_Rock_and_Roll_Circus#cite_note-7"><span>[</span>7<span>]</span></a> The show was not released commercially until October 1996.
The performances began at around 2 pm on 11 December 1968, but setting up between acts and reloading cameras took longer than planned, which meant that the final performances took place at almost 5 o'clock in the morning on the 12th.

I can definitely understand being wore out & frustrated in that time frame, in addition to the toll of other libations.

It would be many years (decades?) before the Stones could be as polished a live act as the Who, even though ultimately they'll leave a greater musical legacy, but for me the highlight of the whole show was Taj Mahal and his excellent band of the time.

I was always happy with how my photos turned out of Aesop Rock, playing at the Student Union at Reed College during Renn Fayre (IYKYK). Also one of a great Ziggy Stardust cover band, from the same weekend.
