Last night
Johnny Marr - his blue perhaps spurring Debbie Harry into a pink phase
although she quickly reverted to being Blondie:
not bad at all for someone who turns 77 in a couple of months
No more gigs now for over two weeks.....

Yep - all mine. No not my business. The quality of cameras nowadays is amazing. I have a couple of compact cameras that I can use at most concerts. I typically get near the front, although this one was taken from right at the back as I was leaving last night
Sometimes it's a case of how you edit the picture. This is one of Suzi Quatro last week
Nowadays digital cameras are so versatile. Back in the 80s it was a case of trying to snap at the right instant but waiting days to get the pictures back from the developer:
That was Alice in 1986. But by 2019 I knew straight away I had a good picture
Sometimes it's pure luck
Ronnie Wood stalking Imelda May..... - entirely in the way I've cropped the original
I got Imelda to sign that when I saw her a few weeks ago in Nottingham. She absolutely loved it and asked for a copy, which I'll deliver to her framed when I see her in Wexford next month
Anyway, I digress!

I took 550 photos at Live Aid - got some special ones from that day. Saw Queen at Knebworth in 1986 - Freddie's last gig with them. Bowie at Milton Keynes in 83, The Stones at Roundhay Park in Leeds in 82 (their last gig for 6 years or so). I stopped with the Human Rights Now concert at Wembley in 1988 (including Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, Sting) - started my current job a few weeks after that and it was increasingly difficult to get cameras in.
Started winding down to retirement around 3 years ago and started going to gigs again, but everyone was there taking pictures with their phones. I thought I could do better than that. The photographic records make me remember a lot more about gigs. The stuff from the 80s are in a book I'm drafting. This is the front cover

This week's song from Europe:
Looks like a gold crown at the back there....
This guy produced his Irish passport to prove he's no Foreigner:
All the way from Monaghan (Tanya O'Callaghan, not David Coverdale - he's from the North Riding of Yorkshire) -

You're right about Tanya - she had it written on the back of her guitar!
Mick Jones appeared for the last couple of songs and the encore. He looked a bit less steady than some of the other 77yo+ I've seen. I guess that without him they become a tribute band
In terms of Whitesnake I'm not sure how much of the hair is genuine
I suspect there's a bit of long-standing Botox on display as well, with all the new wrinkles finding their way to some strange places on the faces of Messrs Coverdale and Aldridge!
