I had originally planned to go see ZZTop and Jeff Beck on this night, but ZZ Top cancelled their tour due to an injury to Dusty Hill and an opportunity came up to shoot Spoon again and that’s not something I am going to pass up. The show itself didn’t quite reach the heights of the previous night’s show but it was still a great night.

SHOOTING NOTES: Lights on Wednesday were much better than the first show. The rd lights didn’t show up until the third song which gave me some time to try and get some different shots from the previous night. I really wanted to get some wide shots of the entire band, so I spent a good amount of time trying to do that. I also wanted to get Britt doing his “holding the guitar away from his body while he sings” move since I wasn’t able to get a shot I was happy with from the previous night, so I was happy to get the top photo in this post.
