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.

Guster at the Beacon Theatre, 11/28/09

Guster played the Beacon Theatre on
11/28/09. It was the second night of a
two night run celebrating the 10 year
anniversary of their album 'Lost and
Gone Forever." They played it in
its entirety in the second set.

For the 'Lost and Gone Forever' set, the band added strings, horns and a choir from a Washington, DC school. A good time was had by all.

Both the band and the fans were into it from the first notes to the last.

Busy week...

50showsat50 photos were appreciated all over last week.

On the way to see Neko Case, Amanda Palmer emailed me asking to use a couple from last Saturday's show.

Within the hour, New York Magazine asked to use a few for their music blog. Photos four and five are from the Amanda Palmer show.

Within minutes, WNYC, our local public radio station asked to use future shots for their new NYC music section. Look for news here when they finally start it up.

And on Tuesday Morning I got a request from the folks at JayKco, makers of handmade guitar straps. Seems they saw one of their straps in a photo of Neko Case from the Beacon. See it on their site.

Now a little rest until Zero 7 and Guster next weekend. Fingers crossed for a photo pass for Phish at MSG...
