Elbow at the Avalon Pix
May 14th, 2008 | Posted by Shannon
Before the Elbow show, I talked for a while with a woman who was there with a photographer shooting the show. She told me that at the Avalon (and I am not sure if it is only the Avalon, but if so I love the Avalon even more) the photographer can only shoot for the first three songs and then they gotta go. I think this was in my response to complaining about this complete tool who shot 259,561 shots of Britt Daniel at his solo show at the Belly Up. For those who were there, this was the tool with the cockney cap and studded belt that probably blinded and irritated you for two hours, too.
Anyhow, Veronica was kind enough to send me some images from the Elbow show that her friend, Gary Copeland, managed to get quickly and unobtrusively. Here are a few of them for your viewing pleasure.
Guy Garvey with a halo. Cool.
This is exactly where I was standing - just below Pete Turner. He is AWESOME.
This one is my favorite though. I LOVE this shot:
Thanks Veronica and Gary!

Hey Shannon, thanks for turning us (me and my husband)on to this band!!! They are killer! I downloaded Grounds for Divorce last weekend for my husband, who is british by the way, and he was floored by this single. LOve the video as well.
Thanks again!
