The Hold Steady [Boston 30Oct06]

[narlus]

a gloriously drunken riot...last tour date for The Hold Steady (http://www.theholdsteady.com/) w/ openers Sean Na Na (not the doowop/50s band w/ Bowser), and the boys let loose a bit. w/ his gruff vocal delivery and stream-of-consciousness songs about everyday life, Craig Finn has evoked Springsteen comparisons, and i can see how that would fit, esp w/ the full-time piano anchoring the solid rock backbone which is churned out by the rest of the band.

Lovely, lovely set ... nice B&W, nice assortment of angles, a little dark ... but I love your "reviews" and comments! :-)

Some very nice images. Brings the atmospere accros. I would remove a bit of the red/magenta haze on some of the faces though. (#3 and 5) and lighten up the face in #5 a bit (also: if you shot RAW you might be able to bring some detail back in the hair)
