Here are some photos from the concert. As you all know from my other thread (old beatles not photographer friendly), we can only take the shot from outside the perimeter. Also, even if I were to get a Press pass, I would have to pay for the tickets, and I am not a Paul fan (sorry! I would pay 360 bucks for Andrea Bocelli but Paul not quite. ) Still as you can see many thought he was worth it, and almost every one from Halifax, Bedford, Dartmouth, and area were there. There were just as many people outside the concert area then inside, perharps more, as The Commons is an enormous area and we're not even counting the other side of it which is a hill where the Citadel is. The best seats in the house were of course the apartment block (back of the image). I bet some guys could have made some hot videos from his window.
Anyway, the story is available on my earlier thread . Here I just want to post some images I took. It was dark and I used my new baby Pentax 50-200 zoom
set at ISO 1600 with enhanced dynamics.
Very excessive crop, this is as large as it gets, from a 14.6 MP RAW image.
not large enough even for editorial with Bigstock.
Still, the quality is not that great but it's good to go for the show.
Paul started with "Drive My Car" from the Beatles Revolver
Then followed it with "Jet" from Wings.
not sure what happened after that, by that time I was too far to hear the concert (I was walking home enroute 5km from the Commons)
Halifax was alive more than ever , everyone downtown was there. Except me, ha!ha! and other Andrea Bocelli fans, ha!ha!
Maritimers sure know how to party , for sure !
Moi, I 've had too many years of Montreal Jazz Fest, and already attended the world's largest outdoor party 7 days and 6 nights (Bahia Carnaval). So it's
not really a party for me anymore. Done it all, so I prefer to relax with my ale and hot wings instead. lol
Enjoy !
