I actually got some decent photos! The hubs bought me a camera in Dec and I think it’s safe to say that I’ve learned how to use it.
Now before you nod and dismiss this achievement with an “oh that’s nice”, please know that I got these from 300 feet away and WITH NO FLASH. Additionally, I did not crop and blow up these images. So, applause, please!
(also, the really bright laser-beam red light that the camera shines out in order to assess depth of field [I think] was irritating people, so I just put my finger over that.)
There were two that needed to be brightened in Photoshop, and I did actually reduce the image size because they were, oh, 24 inches wide.

Here's the accordion that features in so many TMBG songs.
The guitarist
The flashlight was used as an instrument of audience entertainment. I was surprised that he didn't utilize it musically, actually. Also I like his duck-egg-blue guitar.
This is neither a saxophone nor a clarinet, but is a Bass Clarinet.
This one is my favorite photo. The used a lot of moving film of inane objects along the backdrop.
Great photos!
I still have such a crush on John Linnell, even though I’m taller than he is. >.<
Was anyone there upset that they retired Marty Beller Mask? I know some people felt they were being silly (language toned down), but I thought it was totally classy.

Huh. That is classy.
I haven’t kept up with them much since high school/college, so much of their set was new.
I just love it though, that they’ve been together for 20+ yrs and they still love what they do, are still creative and active, and haven’t degenerated into non-functioning people.
