The Waterboys

The Waterboys
I have been pretty lucky lately to get to a few really excellent
concerts, and be able to walk home from them afterwards. This was last
night when Mike Scott's Waterboys played. I took 190 pictures (!)
with my X100 which is a very good concert camera; in silent mode with
manual everything and with the back screen turned off it is (I hope)
totally undistracting to my neighbours -- and I get decent pictures.

Before the show, I heard a woman right behind me say to her partner
that they were 21 metres from the stage; thus I suppose our row was 20
metres. But I thought we were considerably closer than that and my
camera told me I was focussing at about 12 metres. Not bad distance
for a widish-angled lens like the X100's. Of course, I still had to
crop considerably. This is also considerably down-sized for emailing.

This was the last shot I took, near the end of the encore.

Ahh, in thirty years time, my cat pictures may be valuable, too.

It was a mix of them. He started with Strange Boat and went right into Fisherman's Blues. Through a mix of trad bits with Steve Wickham and some really old stuff (like from the first unreleased-in-North-America album) and some new stuff (I can See Elvis among them), he also did two or three from the Yeats material. Hard-driving pretty well without stop. You would have loved it. :)

This was my first time seeing them live. I was struck by how similar Scott is to Nick Cave.
