grillot 0 Posted November 11, 2006 I was in perfect positon - up front: 15' from Les and 15' from Ler...until the first chord was struck.. then the mosh lunged forward and I was absolutely trapped; could not move. So I fought my way out of the mosh pit for the first level and waited, and waited and waited. This show had the absolute worst lighting.. blues and reds, all from the sides and rear... until this splash of white light washed over this truly fantastic musician. I am dead set against any sort of flash for concert photography, period. This is Les' custom Carl Thompson bass guitar - THE RAINBOW. Link to comment
paul_louis_villani 1 Posted November 11, 2006 My name is mud and i don't have a big brown beaver! Long live Les and the boys! Nice shot too! Link to comment
grillot 0 Posted November 11, 2006 I took my son to Les's booksigning at a local record store.. He read a chapter and answered a few questions.. so I ask.."so Les, are you going to pull out your Rainbow tonight", to which he replied: "that's kinda personal question, don'tcha think"? with that quirky grin. We laughed. In fact, he did pull out his Rainbow. Unfortunatly Les and the boys did not play "mud" on this occassion, but did do a resounding rip-roaring version of Wynona's Big Brown Beaver.... YEEE HEEE HAAAA. Link to comment
watermark_of_merni 14 Posted November 11, 2006 Great to see your photo of Les! Congrats on your image. I'm glad you made it out of the Mosh Pit. Link to comment
perole 0 Posted November 12, 2006 I have looked at this one many times, and I like it better every time. The composition is good, and the sharpness is perfect, the conditions being what you describe. I feel with you down in the mosh pit, I experienced something like it at an Opeth concert this summer, where I got three usable pictures before I had to get out to save myself from being jumped over and trempled down.
