The Saints @ The Forum

[blackshadow]

After shows at the ATP festival at Mt Buller and then another show in Hobart The Saints laid waste to The Forum on Wednesday night. It was part of the ATP Don't Look Back series of concerts which sees bands playing classic albums from start to finish - The Saints ripped through their seminal punk classic (I'm) Stranded and then followed up with a fine selection of songs from Eternally Yours and Prehistoric Sounds.

I never ever thought I would get to see The Saints featuring a reunited Chris Bailey and Ed Kuepper - this was very special to me and I count myself privileged to see them twice in a week and to be able to document the shows with my photos.

It was a sensational show. Full set of photos can be seen here (http://www.photos.blackshadow.com.au/gallery/7108779_MyHUf/1/455805835_rQvsA).

I am starting to hate my Time back in NZ. Man I wish I was you for just one of the concerts.

I hope you feel lucky seeing the reunited Saints because some of us would sell our mothers for that chance.

Great shots too ... i think you captured the right tone and feel of the gigs

awesome set richard...one of the best i've seen from you or anyone else. minor nitpick is that i'd lose some of the top on #3, but all the pics are stellar.

Yup. Good set.

Thanks everyone - it was a very special show to shoot. From all accounts it was definitely the best gig of the re-union tour.
