My wife and I visited Florida for the first time and were lucky enough to attend the first three shows. Thank You Ten Club!

The Fans - We were very lucky to have some great people around us in GA at both FLL & Miami. GA was a little concerning with my past health issues, but had it on the bucket list to check off. Four years ago I wasn't even sure I'd be around today,,, and we just did GA on back to back nights... Fuck You Heart Disease!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm Still Alive!!!!

(Thanks Buck502000 for blocking and not letting the drunk stage diver take out my wife in Miami.haha... Seriously though thanks for asking me if I was okay... it meant a lot) ...

We met so many people, from every corner of the U.S. and the World... built further friendships from past shows... Everyone we've met has been amazing along the way. We both can't wait for Wrigley!!!!!

The Band - I cannot express the words in order to even come close to the feelings we have for this band and their music. Just a simple Thanks is probably good enough for those guys....and THAT'S WHY WE'LL BE BACK AGAIN!

Each and everyone of you guys that we crossed paths with helped make each and every show a memorable one on its own, Thank You!

I'll post my images and gallery links on another thread.. those who know me know that's my passion. As usual... if you see yourself in one of my images or one just recreates "That moment" please PM me and I'll make sure you get a large printable copy. My way of giving back.

    Nice pics, did you take those with a standard camera phone or did you use a SLR? They look so good you got me wondering whether they're JPEG or RAW format.

    I use a Canon Powershot G5X (pocket size) inside the venue and I use my 7D mark II for outside the arena, prior to the show... to get that camera in with access would be a dream come true...

    The G5X will shoot in RAW, but it slows the shutter speed to 1 shot per second. Which is way too slow compared to the 8 frames per second on Super Large jpegs.

    I also like the G5X because you can flip the screen and use the active viewfinder. so no annoying bright screen... and never use flash or focus asset beams.. They would;t help much and they are annoying as hell to those around you and probably the band. I prefer to be low key... snap a few rounds off, back to pocket and enjoy the show... rinse and repeat ;)
