Blending jazz, funk, hip hop and seemingly a half dozen other genres in their sprawling, upbeat set, Galactic had the Pageant on their feet and dancing as soon as they hit the stage.

Photographer's Notes:

Cameras Used:

  • Nikon D3
  • Nikon D700

Lenses Used:

While lighting and production for Galactic's set felt a little less lush compared to the last time I saw them, the colorful treatment was just what I expected from this band.

Overall, lots of shooting with the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8, as the band was set back what seemed like a good 2-meters from the front of the stage. The 24-70mm f/2.8 was also great for picking up wider atmosphere and stage shots.
