Dirty Three @ Womad, March ’12

Despite playing the headline slot on the main stage, Dirty Three had woeful backlit stage lighting.

Musically, they were a trip worth taking. Photographically? Not really.

Full set over at my site:

01.

really like 1,3 and 4

Even with the noise in 4?

The noise kills it for me in 4. I don't like the composition anyway though... Busy background. Other then that they are great.

Great set...I don't mind the noise in #4...And the background is a stage; It's supposed to be busy.

Yep, the noise kills it for me too

The lighting was RUBBISH!!

easy fix for #4...convert to b/w and crush the blacks!

decent set...i like 3 the best. Warren's got a tendency to play w/ his back to the audience a lot and he's wildly unpredictable in movement. i love this band, though. they put on the best show of the Saturday's lineup at ATP.

thanks Tim.

I'm not really a fan of making a single image from a set b/w unless the whole set is going to match it. I mean, sure if this was going to be a print I would treat it individually and (more than likely) make it b/w. But as a set, I'll deal with the noise.

What a great band tho! So powerful.
