I was excited to shoot this show but that excitement evaporated as soon as this show started. Stevie Nicks sounded ROUGH and it seemed like the band members were going out of their way not to interact with each other. They even walked on stage one by one instead of as a group! The set started out very flat but friends that attended the show said it got better as the night wore on. I’ll take their word for it.

As you can tell, we were stuck at the soundboard for this shoot. I rented a 400/2.8 and a 1.4 teleconverter and that did the job.
