Anyone else see a slight resemblance to Roy Orbison?

Anyone else remember the shot of Harvey Brooks on the back of the Electric Flag album? (ignore the EXIF on this one; all closeups were taken with a 1970 Vivitar 135/2.8 wide open)

The Verve Pipe at The City Opera House in Traverse City, Michigan last Friday evening.
 
Talking Heads - The Bronco Bowl - Dallas, Texas - Summer 1983

The concert was held at a real bowling alley in Dallas. One of the strangest venues I have ever seen for a show. The film was probably Ektachrome pushed to at least 1600. The image is the result of a crappy scan years ago and then I converted the photo to B&W. I believe the camera was a Nikon F2 with a 135mm lens.

My favorite band of all time.

I got to see the "Stop Making Sense" tour at the Municipal Auditorium in New Orleans.

Tina Weymouth was way pregnant and would put the bass guitar on top of the baby bump while playing.

It was an awesome show.

An Italian rock band at the town carnival in Sicily 11 years ago.

For the life of me I can't remember their name and I can't find them on Google Search or YouTube music, but I was obsessed on one of their song many years ago

11 years ago I was still at the start of my photography journey and my skills were not very good. Recently went through my oldest (surviving) images and many of them were out of focus (I was shooting often with an adapter 1960s Revuenon 50mm f 1.8 in M42 mount) or blurry from not having enough shutter speed (Panasonic G1 and G2 did not have IBIS) and very high ISO from the low light.

Got some pretty crazy flare, plenty of highlight bloom and softness but I. Still happy I have the images within the context of that time.

It was one of the first big events I photographed so I was feeling quite anxious and exhilarated to try.

Luckily the band let me have access to the surroundings so I could get quite a lot of perspectives and good positions. I did contact the band later after the concert but they never replied or show interest in the images.

The only concert I have been since was for Aesthetic Perfection, an industrial band from USA, in 2019 in London.

The band had quite a bit of interaction with their fans.

One of the par nta put their girl on the stage and she ran to the lead singer and hugged him before she went back to her parents he gave her a kiss on the forehead.

The crowd was quite big and loud.

Italians not only talk with their hands but also sing with them too :p
