i'm kidding. it's just the td garden.
check out the examiner.com review of pearl jam from last night at the td garden.
big thank you to liz hennigan, tom giusti and will dailey for supplying the expert pearl jam opinion of the show. it really wasn't a show about fancy lights and stage tricks - it was a dude in flannel rocking the roof off that place. a crazy sight to see, for real. and they played for 3 hours! all you 45 min set bands, take notice! they do have a million cds to choose from. the 90's were alive last night.
i swear i saw a troll doll. wait - that was my early 90's.
a note about photography...they split the pit with two lines of tape, leaving the center clear of even security. us photographers had to pick a side and stay there. it was cramped. shoutouts to mary. i couldn't figure out why this weird rule was in place. i'm still not 100% sure, but i'm guessing the eddie vedder spit might have something to do with it. dude can hawk.
the rest of the world is watching the celtics right now. i lack cable in my life. so i keep watching the live updates on celtics.com. heck yeah! final score: 95-92. let's do this!
peace. KMD

some weeks, i feel like i live at the house of blues. last week was one of those weeks.
CORINNE BAILEY RAE
one of my favorite artists. i can't narrow it down to top 5. not even top 20. but she'll always make whatever list. i remember shopping in tower records back in '06 or '07 and the lady at the counter suggested i purchase the cd. andrew kendall, one of my favorite music photographers, had just finished posting her images from the cd shoot...so i bought it in support of his photography. and then fell in love with her music. i was all set up to photograph her gig at the paradise a few years back and something fell thru in the end. in short, i had the opportunity to photograph her show this time around and she didn't let us down. you go, corinne! :)

SAY ANYTHING
the folks over at the sony office, who had approved me for alicia keys back in march, asked me to cover say anything at the house of blues last tuesday. they were opening for angels and airwaves and whipped the crowd in to a frenzy. i swear i saw the barricade move. tons of crowd surfing and moshing (both forbidden at the HOB) - i don't know how the security staff does it. someone threw a condom. i ran into chad b. and dave g. at the show and saw the angels&airwaves set from up top. thanks, guys! shoutouts to VATER percussion. fam.

^ ^ what's up with that watermark? where's my logo. oh well. it'll do.
OK GO
so, i request shows that a.) i have the evening open for and b.) i kinda know a few songs of the band. i knew HERE IT GOES AGAIN and danced alone when they played it. :) i really thought their stage show was clever. a little bit of everything. they did some weird hand bell thing, jumped into the crowd, tossed out tambourines, had little webcams on the end of their mic stands and that fed up to the screen....it was cool. i dug it. the confetti is from the FIRST SONG. who shoots confetti at the beginning? they do and i love them for it.

the red sox/yankees game let out around the same time i left OK GO. fail. kenmore station was a mess, so i walked all the way up to hynes convention center and got on there. 4 cleveland circle, 2 out of servce and 2 boston college trains later, and i got on an empty D riverside train. headed outbound, the train picked up the massive amounts of fans leaving kenmore and fenway. there was yelling and one drunk girl fell and crawled around on the floor. she thought it was so funny, she did that silent laugh - followed by some miserable siren-pitched cry that lasted thru to beaconsfield. at this point, the train was emptying out, but the drunk section remained. i have to admit, as much as i was annoyed, i was amused...until....
one kid took it a little too far. you could pinpoint it in his eyes. the joke turned to rage in SECONDS. i stood my behind up and moved to the front of the train, as an all out brawl commenced. there were fists flying. blood. profanities. profanities en espanol. it involved too many people and it was going to out of control in moments. luckily, the train slowed and the doors opened at my stop. amen! the police came as i made my way out of there!
GO C'S!
good times. check out all the reviews/photos i've posted, because you care. and hey! leave a comment so i know you were there/here. i will repay you in gum. KMD

i'm swimming in an ocean of unedited, un-posted images. ugh.
last night, i powered thru some images, so my mind could rest and i could finish the wedding images from last saturday at some point this lifetime. these are from the last 3 shows. grammar doesn't count, right?
SOULIVE @ THE PARADISE ROCK CLUB
i'm not a fan of jam bands. i like music, but i like words. there are no words at a soulive show, unless they get a special guest to join them. no lie. I LOVE THIS BAND. amazing show. nigel hall was fire. a great dancing show. too bad i was alone and had a giant camera with me. otherwise i'd would have been 'getting down with the get down'. I love the end of the slideshow in the article - a little video clip of nigel hall's james brown split.

30 SECONDS TO MARS @ THE HOUSE OF BLUES
let's talk about jared leto, shall we? management emailed saying we could only shoot the first 3 songs from the soundboard and aisle. no pit. no problem. once we got there, security said we could shoot the whole show, no flash. no pit. no problem. so the photography posse stayed for most of the show, respecting the rules in place. towards the end, leto looked over...ran over starts screaming at me and my camera. i'm confused. thought i imagined it. moments later, he's got his hand on another photographer's lens, spraying his fury on him. ha! whatever dude. i just spent 2 hours sweating blood and tears at your show to get great images of your band and that's how you treat me (us)? this ain't hollywood. i'm no paparazzi. you're a douche. there, i said it. freedom of speech, son. he was a douche the whole show, really. but i actually enjoyed the gig. oh well.

a little leto rage? sure nuff. he was so mad. i couldn't figure out why. but i left and missed the end of the show.
SNOOP DOGG @ THE HOUSE OF BLUES
the following night was snoop dogg. last minute credentials granted. i mean, one-hour-before-showtime last minute. and i actually listen to snoop, so i packed my bag and headed for the train. why was snoop 90+ minutes late? scheduled to go on at 9:30...he took the stage after 11. kind of expected. but still annoying. good show though. you can't go wrong with the chronic 2001's NEXT EPISODE.

representing that 1st and 15th...
i scrambled to contact lupe fiasco's publicist in time for last wednesday's show. they blessed me with a ticket and photopass (and aftershow pass?!) and below are the images from the house of blues. i ran into steve osemwenkhae of mindlessphotos and we watched the show, adding comedic commentary when necessary. lots of laughs.
i'm a fan to sneaking out the door a few songs before the end (especially if i have to ride the train home), but the security dude said that the aftershow pass would allow us to meet lupe when the show was done. very good. i'm staying! :)
a.) B.O.B's set surprised me. he went from rapper dude to acoustic guitarist dude to electric guitarist dude to shirt-off-standing-in-the-crowd dude. it was like TI meets Wyclef meets John Mayer. i wasn't expecting that. his song, BEAUTIFUL GIRLS is all over the radio. he'll do great things.
b.) lupe fiasco's stage show made me tired! this dude can move! he was moving from stage left to right and back so fast. such energy. and his lyrics have depth. love it! he took the time out to appreciate the fans. brought a ton of them on stage for a full song and they all got to sing daydreamin'. hilarious. great show. don't miss it.

glad you survived the pink tape! Nice shots in spite of the restrictions.
(05.19.10)Look at you..so good with your shout outs! I think the pink tape was just to humor him while he watched us jockey for position....
