With respect to the buzz of Lil Wayne's release from Riker's Island today after an eight-month stint on lockup, I thought I'd post some of my favorite shots from Weezy's 2008 performance at the Chaifetz Arena.
This was an epic one-off performance in-the-round with a cruciform stage where photographers had full-set access. Easily one of the most fun events I've ever covered.
