ACUTE @ Frankies - Toledo, OH - 7/14/07

[bacchanal]

Acute...in the middle of the Death and Taxes magazine tour...find themselves without a headliner (Jesse Malin out with a bad back) and the Wildbirds (also on the tour) booked a show in Cleveland. So Acute ends up playing this little rock bar in Toledo. The highlight of the set (for me) was a cover of Chelsea Hotel No.2 by Leonard Cohen (as performed by Rufus Wainwright).

I feel that these are a little better than the last time I shot Acute (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=333332&highlight=acute), even though the light levels were lower this time (low enough to make it difficult to get a focus lock at times). I wasn't at all limited in my movement here though.

2 and 7 are real nice, 8's a keeper too. #4 makes him look *very* attentive to something. n

Nice ... much as I hate pure magenta lighting blue can be a PITA, too!
