Phish at Madison Square Garden 12/2/09, 12/3/09 & 12/4/09

Phish played a three night run at Madison Square Garden on 12/2/09-12/4/09. Though the help of an old friend and my new friends at New York Magazine, I got credentials to shoot these for New York Magazine's "Out on the Weekend" feature. All photos are from the 12/3/09 show.

Sets varied each night and material ranged from songs from their latest album "Joy" to rarities from the past.

They're now veterans of arena shows and can fill every inch with light and sound.

Taylor Swift at Madison Square Garden 8/27/09

Taylor Swift at Madison Square Garden 8/27/09.

No camera for this show, so my daughter's iPhone pics are the best I could do.

She really was great. Very impressive for a first tour as headliner.

Wilco / Neil Young at Madison Square Garden 12/15/08

Wilco 12/15/08Originally uploaded by muzikspy

I was already seriously considering this 50showsat50 idea when I decided to head into the city and see if I could pick up a ticket to see Wilco supporting Neil Young at Madison Square Garden.

I think Wilco is the best working rock band right now and I hate to know I missed one of their area shows. Even though I don't enjoy arena shows anymore, I really wanted to be there. And Neil Young was one of the artists of my youth that I had somehow managed to miss.

So I picked up somebody's extra and ended up in nosebleed seats surrounded by other Wilco fans.

Thanks to muzikspy for this nice photo of Jeff Tweedy that night (taken from where I SHOULD have been standing).

Listen to "Impossible Germany"
