camera, and so have been tagged with my username. You are welcome to

Thank you for your cooperation!
Just as an aside: Having been to a show where cameras were allowed, I
now understand why professional photographers who work with rock bands
always go through a zillion rolls of film at live concerts.
I actually took over 200 photos during the hour and a half that
Survivor was onstage (thank the Gods for memory sticks!) and I've
managed to salvage almost half again as many as were here originally
thanks to the enhancing functions of my image manipulation software.
Still, alas, there are many which will never see the light of day, as
I am firmly committed to only putting what I consider to be GOOD pics
on this site. And even though I get the feeling that Jimi tends to
cringe a bit at photos of himself, I hope that if he ever pays this
page a visit, he won't be wincing TOO terribly hard at any of
these...
Anyway--here are the 46 "cream of the crop" shots, of all the ones I took.
And, as usual, I apologize to fans of the other members of Survivor; I
could not see Chris [keyboards] or Barry [bass] at all from my vantage
point that night, and I only caught glimpses of Marc [drums]. Jimi
[vocals, natch] and Frankie [guitar] were the only ones I could see
clearly, and, well, in a choice between the two, Jimi just wins every
time.
(It's actually quite amusing in retrospect; Frankie was the one in the
ruffled shirt and leather pants, but I fear I only paid attention to
him during his solos...
)

How can anybody not love that grin? This is one of my favorite pics from this show...

And my other favorite pic from this show... sigh...

NOTE: You can also see this photo on the MySpace page for Memphis Blood, an all-star band that Jimi performed with for a brief time after he left Survivor in 2006! Just click the "Photos" link on their main profile page, then scroll a few shots to the right.
