I really didn’t feel like lugging my giant DSLR, which takes fairly decent pictures in the dark with no flash. Concert venue rules are no recording, and no flash photography. So, I brought my lesser point-and-shoot, disabled flash, and managed to get these, despite the lengthy exposure time required.
About the only thing working in my favor was that Mr. Winter wasn’t hopping around like a maniac. No, it’s not your eyes; the fuzziness is a function of long exposure time and a moving target. But, it was the best I could do with that particular camera, given the no-flash restriction.
Our seats really were that close to the stage, only 10′ away. Can’t say they played a single song I’d never heard before, but they played all the ones I really wanted to hear — plus a cover of a Who song (Won’t Get Fooled Again). Woo-Who [sic]! As I expected, Edgar paid tribute to Johnny.
These guys brought it. I was especially impressed with the bassist, KOko Powell. Daaaaang, man! He’s good. They all are. I’m so glad we splurged on tickets for this one. They were a bit more than we usually spend for concert tickets, but this performance was worth every penny, especially considering that we may never get to see them again. Johnny played there a few times, which might be why Edgar agreed to play that venue.
Also found out that Al Stewart is going to be back in June for a two night gig. We’ve seen him there twice before, and his shows never disappoint. So, I snagged tickets to one of those performances. Hopefully, I ordered early enough to get good seats again. There aren’t any bad ones, but seats are assigned on a first-come basis for the best ones, with people ordering later getting seats farther from the stage. It’s luck of the draw, really.
Hey, not bad pics. I’m glad you had fun.
Great pics, and sounds like an awesome show!
Edgar! <3
