Image of the Day-"Houses Of The Holy"

Robert Plant & Band of Joy
North Mississippi Allstars
Peterson Events Center
Wednesday January 19, 2010
Oakland

This show was really good. Really. The band sounded excellent and if you took away the fact that almost everybody in the room was patiently waiting to hear more Zep tunes, I think that the anticipation factor unfairly lessened the show impact.
On a photographic note, we were relegated to the back of the floor. No PIT shots again tonight. Oh, well. As a fellow photog pointed out, once the musician is over fifty, your shooting from the back of the room. HA! His shots turned out really nice, then again my man had a $6,000 lens!
The North Mississippi Allstars opened the night as a duo and while I can appreciate the drums and electric blues vibe, it bores me after awhile.
More photos here and here.
