Following Mike's excellent set yesterday, here's my photographic contribution to our collective memory of the finest Frost* live experience in, well, more than a year ;)
Unlike Mike, I decided to stay put in one location throughout the set, front row, left-hand side, as I felt I was there for as much for the music and the giggles as for the photon capturing. Plus, having just flown in from Baltimore that morning, I was feeling a little bleary by that point and needed propping up :-*
I hope nevertheless that the ones I've picked out to upload are of interest and add to the general treasure chest of memories.
I've posted a small smattering of pictures here, but the full set is available on flickr at:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/markmccaughrean/sets/72157633521617254
Please visit, take a gander, look at the full-res versions (go into Lightbox mode in flickr [hit "l"] and then fullscreen), download what you want, and let me know what you think: all feedback always gratefully received.
Good to see everyone who was there, of course, and anyone who wasn't, well, you missed a blinder ... 8)

Great work mate love the opening B&W band shot
I like the "subliminal Frost*erisk" in the second and last ones.

Thanks, Mike: no wonder at all that you went straight for my favourite shot. It looks great fullscreen ;)

Thanks, Mikey: much appreciated. I hate to ask (because I should know either way), but were you at the gig too ... ?

In almost all of them, in fact ... Despite having had my nose stuck in Lightroom for hours, that rather simple and obvious fact evaded me completely :o

No, not even in stealth mode. I had a couple of plans but they fell through unfortunately.

I'd add captions, but we can't risk raising the quality of humour to an acceptable level. 8)
Excellent shots sir. :)
excellent! thanks for sharing!!
Thanks, Roger and ES: much appreciated.
Nice pix!
And just like that, with no warning, flickr has changed. Blimey :o
Will have to sleep on the new look and to see how Pro members fit in in the new "1Tb for all" flickrverse ...
Great set of pics TA! I agree with the Frostie possie the band one is my fave... but the remainder make a close second! Nice work!

Thank you, squire: much appreciated.
I'll post another comment on Mike's photo thread re: ISO speeds needed for gig photography; it's nothing like as bad as you think.
Excellent work, Mark. Absolute, top-notch excellence.

Dank je wel, Tim, as they say around these parts. Well, actually, since I'm a hotel outside Madrid writing this, they probably don't, but ... 8)
