I was standing in line last night waiting to get in to see the Dresden Dolls and saw it. I tried to check it out the best I could after the show but it was pretty crowded in there so I missed seeing a good number of the photos displayed. I think I finally spotted you taking pictures last night as well when you were on stage taking pictures of Brian from the Dolls last night as well. I always tried to spot you at a concert but you're ten times harder to find than Waldo. But anyways, congrats on your success and thanks for rubbing the Flaming Lips concert in a little bit more. j/k. BTW, Congrats on the exhibit next to the Pageant.

I would definitely agree that Andrew Bird was a good show, though not as solid as his performance in 2006. Of Montreal definitely put on a great show, as always. Interpol was a really enjoyable concert as well and would have made the list if the lighting were better. As a concert photographer, that's the only reason it didn't. The Flaming Lips show was fantastic – no photography was allowed, but the show itself was amazing. Hey Jack,

I was too cheap to go to Morrissey and I was already too drunk that day from Strassenfest to go see the Polyphonic Spree and I wasn't fully aware of the Scissor Sisters and Ted Leo at the time. With that said my favorite concert was of Montreal followed by the Good Life performing at Vintage Vinyl just because it was such an intimate setting to hear the band in. Andrew Bird was also a nice treat. Interpol and the Decemberists (although I did drink too much during the Decemberists concert) were pretty good but not spectacular. I also sadly missed the Flaming Lips and Ryan Adams because they sold out so damn fast. Sadly I didn’t go to any of the shows.

Ha, it was a little slow... I'm looking to shoot 50+ events next year, but we'll see if this is possible. I look forward to seeing your shots from the festival! Always a good shoot at such an event, even though it can be chaotic photographing so many bands. Happy New Year! Todd Hey Stephen!

Hope the next one is more exciting! :-p Seriously though, these are amazing and I can fully appreciate what it takes to get shots like this (having just attended a week-long music festival... Great fun!). You set a high standard. Happy New Year! Gee Todd, looks like you had a pretty boring year… Hope the next one is more exciting! :-p
