It’s that time again and here we are at the next installment of my night of attendance at One Nation Under a Groove.
I had an absolute blast on this night and it all began with my peeps, The Main Squeeze. Now, I initially was not going to be allowed to shoot from the pit as the tour had strict guidelines for photogs this evening, however Smiley is the man and got me the go ahead. After all, I love working with these guys. Not only are they so much fun to work with, they are fabulous on stage. Each time I catch one of their shows, they blow my mind that much more.
Yes, I always pack my long lens as a just in case precaution and on this night I was thankful that I do. I didn’t need it for this set though. I was armed with my 24-70mm sitting pretty and working hard right along with The Beast while The Main Squeeze was blowing minds from the jump. It’s difficult at times to keep my two feet on the ground when all I want to do is groove and dance but hey, I love what I do and once I open up for that first shutter click, it’s autopilot for me.
House rules for the night meant that once my three song time limit was up, I had to step outside until the next band and so I went out to swap lenses and chat up some other photogs and concert goers. They were raving about the Squeeze and yes, the anticipation was building for the rest of the night’s lineup. You’ll have some more images from this evening in my next couple of posts. After all, I still have Fishbone and George Clinton to share with you. For now though, have a look see at my favorite images from the Main Squeeze and do yourself a favor, give them a listen. I think that you’ll thank me for it. You can also check out my full collection on my Facebook page and feel free to leave some feedback or comments. I love to hear from you.
Until the next post.
