There's some very good work here which exhibits good imagination and use of in camera techniques.

thanks for noting this. the excess of silhouetting was not an artistic decision made by me at exposure or in post - it was essentially the only way to get any shots for most of the show. there was essentially no stage lighting, only images projected behind the performers . i almost didn't bother taking pictures, but i'm quite glad i did.

oh, and can anyone explain to me what might have happened in the drummer shot (#3)? i was messing around with slower shutters to try and gets some motion blur on the drummer but was unsuccessful on every other shot due to way to much head movement. i'm guessing there must have been some sort of strobe that flashed three times during my exposure?
