jff Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 just back from Veronica Falls. really good band, if you like that nervous energy guitar stuff (think Feelies, The Clean, Verlaines, etc).I've been thinking of picking up their new record. You're the second person that has cited the Feelies. I'm not totally sold on the youtube clips I've seen of them, but I think the record could win me over.

tinnitus photography Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 played a few songs from the new one, which as a record is a bit dull but live the songs worked (aside from "Mermaids," which kinda dragged...he opened w/ the 1st track, played "Jubilee Street" and "Higgs Boson Blues" and ended the encore w/ "Push The Sky Away" which actually was a great way to end it. others i remember: deannared right handfrom her to eternityjack the ripperstranger than kindnessthe weeping songstagger leeinto my arms (i think) maybe one or two others...really amazing show, and it being up so close (4th row) made a huge difference. it looked like the people in the balcony were seated for most of the show.

Oil Can Boyd Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 from her to eternitystagger leeThought these were the highlights. Stagger Lee was particualrly intense.  Agree that it was an amazing show. I was maybe 12 or 14 rows back but wish I was in the 4th row. When he walked into the crowd on the backs of the chairs was he over you? And did you take pics? Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 i did take pics...that was a saga in and of itself. yeah, when he was singing "Deanna" my friend who was next to me captured it on vid...amazing! he was right in front of us on the chair backs. he spent a lot of time over at our side, way more than stage right.  in terms of shooting the show, pull up a chair...here's my long-winded diatribe that i posted on my facebook page today from a fan's perspective, last night's Nick Cave show was amazingly awesome. from a photographer's, it was a nightmare. here's the bloody saga...sorry for my weeping (and he did play "The Weeping Song").1 - i was not on the list. apparently i went through a publicist that wasn't actually handling the press details w/ the tour manager (i went through 0 to 60, who put out the initial tour announcement, and somewhere along the way, it was nasty little man who actually coordinated the details, including the release).2 - i spent the next 40 minutes trying to square this away...i sent emails to the 0 to 60 as well as everyone from NLM i had in my contacts...the person handling Cave was out on vacation and i got an auto-reply. the woman at the will call was no help.3 - i had warren ellis' email from a photo sale two years ago, and as a last ditch effort figured i'd use that (i had also interviewed him in person last summer, and hoped he would remember me). he actually got back to me, and we traded a few emails, but the TM didn't know my contact from 0 to 60.4 - sharon van etten's set started.5 - i saw a random crew member from Cave's production team on his way in the building (spotted the laminate) and appealed to him for help; gave him a card.6 - my contact from 0 to 60, and the NLM person, finally got back to me saying it was being sorted.7 - i have my photo pass!8 - i get in, and talk w/ another shooter i know...i knew about being able to only shoot the 1st song, but there are other restrictions...we are limited to shooting at the cross-row that separates the orchestra (front seated section) from the sound desk and back seating. this actually isn't too bad, and a 200mm isn't tight but it's workable.9 - i also find out that after the 1st song, no cameras are to be allowed to stay in the building, and there is no production office to hold them. i parked a 10 min walk away. i also bought a ticket (great seats, actually - 4th row), and the prospect of missing ~20 min of the show wasn't too appealing to me.10 - song 1 is a lot shorter than i thought it was going to be, and the lighting was dismal. pale blue w/ absolutely no lighting on Nick's face. he hung back most of the song.11 - go to the lobby and find a main security guy i know from shooting there...plead my case and he allows me to keep my gear as long as i don't take it out and use it.12 - from song #2 onward, it's a maelstrom of rock. nick is a demented shaman, dangling over the stage and during "Deanna" he actually stood on the tops of the seat backs and was directly in front of me (if you are a facebook friend of mine, check the video i shared that my friend shot...incredible). i was super-tempted to sneak at least one shot but thought better of it. but man, the images i could have gotten were mind-boggling.given what i had to work with, i really question why Nick even goes to the trouble of allowing photo passes...even Grinderman was a lot easier than this shoot. it's not like he really needs the publicity; this show was sold out quickly, and with good reason. it'll be hard to top this as concert of 2013 for me. too bad i won't have any decent photos from it (my iPhone photos came out pretty crappy...i wished i had a small rangefinder w/ me last night).
