Screen shot 2010-11-10 at 12.39.03 AM

This show was a little insane. First of all, there are the 14,000+ screaming fans filling the Scottrade arena. Then there’s the 6′+ stage and a very narrow (single file) photo pit. And then there’s the fact that Justin Bieber could probably have a pretty good career in track if he weren’t one of the [...]

Headlining the Halloween Hootenanny Tour stop at the Family Arena, Rob Zombie and crew ripped into their set with signature zeal and showmanship. While I’d caught Rob Zombie on the Mayhem Fest tour earlier this year, I was just as excited to see what the band would bring this time around.

Don’t tell Rob Zombie, but he always plays second fiddle for me – When I shoot a Zombie show, my favorite subject is his guitarist, John 5. Sure, Zombie has dreadwhips going for him, but there’s something magnetic about John 5′s more reserved intensity (I know, this is relative – how reserved can you be [...]

Huey Lewis & The News

January 18, 2009 – Ladies and gentleman, at 58-years young, Huey Lewis is still on fire. In a thrilling, nearly hour-long set, the dynamic singer led his band The News through a hit-filled performance that had the audience on their feet and spilling out into the aisles.

Nelly, Murphy Lee, and the St. Lunatics

August 30, 2008 – In surprise appearance, the St. Lunatics stormed the stage at the Chaifetz Arena, making their first group performance together in eight years.

What’s more sweet than one guitarist playing at the front of the stage, one foot up on the speaker monitor? Two guitarists, one right-handed, the other left-handed, each with a leg up on a monitor, mirrored in perfect, hard rock harmony. It’s kind of a beautiful thing.


Barry Manilow @ the Chaifetz Arena — 2008.04.25

There are showgirls on stage shaking their feathers, Barry just did his third wardrobe change, and his smile has got more flash than his sequined attire. We’re not in Vegas; Barry Manilow is on tour.


Alicia Keys @ the Scottrade Center — 2008.04.27

The piano takes one slow spin. The lights go out, the music follows. We’re in the eye of the storm.


Barry Manilow

Barry still knows how to shake it.
