Spandau Ballet (80's Band) at the Beacon Theatre NYC

While not my favorite 80's band, they were amazing and in top form.  Really nice guys to hang out with too. (After the show)

Its all rhythm, timing and its helpful to know the music and material in advance when you shoot so you know where the dramatic and theatrical parts will be co-inciding with the stage antics.

I am very well connected now with all the 80's British acts coming over here for tours.  Many more bands/pics to follow.

Morrissey is a big douche but he has some great songs.  I had tickets to see him in 2013 but he cancelled, twice.

If you happen to get to photograph New Order, OMD, Erasure, or The Pet Shop Boys, I'd be happy to carry your equipment to the show for you.  :)

Saw OMD at Terminal 5 in nyc last year.  Awesome show, they did some rare live stuff from Dazzle Ships which you never hear.  Kraftwerk is coming to ny soon too.
