This weekend I had the distinct pleasure of photographing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame benefit concert. Held in partnership with the John Entwhistle foundation, the concert featured many new & classic acts over a 2 day period. I can’t name all of the artists and bands who attended, but some notable name are:
Jefferson Starhip
Dennis Deyoung (Lead vocalist of Styx)
Joe Lynn Turner (Lead vocalist of Deep Purple)
Buck Dharma (Lead vocalist of Blue Oyster Cult)
Mark Farner & Jack Bruce of Cream
Unfortunately I missed the Connells, who I listed to for quite some time before and after their national success, but the show was not a disappoinment at all. Also being a Styx fan, I found myself taking blurry shots of Dennis DeYoung due to my sub-conscious grooving to the music. He may be a bit older now, but he still puts on one heck of a show. Joe Lynn Turner, Buck Dharma and Jack Bruce closed out the evening with short sets of their music. It was really a rare sight to have so much talent present on any stage, much less in a more intimate venue.
My hats off to the promoters and everyone who worked to get this show into the Koka Booth Ampitheatre.
