Bluesy rock ‘n rollers The Black Crowes laid down a big set for their sold out show at the Pageant. With two songs and out, I was happy that the band started off with some lengthier jams and ISO 1600-friendly lighting for the f/2.8 zooms.
Photographer’s Notes:
The Black Crowes’ set was a pretty straight forward affair, and while the lighting started out pretty thin, the tour’s lighting director kicked things up a notch soon into the first song for a haze-filled treatment with a tasteful mix of backlighting.
The band was set up relatively far back, so I shot this performance with the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 and Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8.
The ground rules for this show were two songs, no flash.

Looks like some great lighting.
Nice job capturing the experience.
Thanks, Al — I appreciate the comment. Simple, no frills lighting, but there was enough of it to
get the job done, so no complaints.
Sweet shots!
Sometimes no frills lighting is the best.
Love your work!

Fantastic shots Todd!! The Crowes have long been a favorite of mine.
Hi Chad, thanks for the comment.
Nice work capturing one of my all time favorite bands,
As always great stuff!
Great photos. I love the first one with the green glow around his hair. I always love green light. This reminds me of a photo I took of Paramore where Hayley’s hair was surrounded with green light.
