OK, let’s not kid ourselves here… These aren’t the best live shots I’ve ever taken!
Unfortunately, despite having a photo pass for the Eric Clapton gig, we were only allowed to shoot from half way back in the LG Arena, and only for the first 2 songs! That’s a good few hundred feet from the stage. Not great!
Still, this is Clapton we’re talking about here. I was still honoured to be there. And he had his mate Steve Winwood along for the ride.
Most of my shots were, predictably, very similar, so here are just a few from the gig.

Hi Steve,
the last to pics are fantastic. Wonderful the pic of the stage and a typical photo of EC..just in his music. I go to the shows in Düsseldorf and Hamburg.
Wish you & your family a nice weekend

They are fine enogh, though – no kidding. Thanx for showing them
Hi, great work! Can I just ask what lens you used for these shots as I’m shooting a gig there tonight.

These were shot on the 70-200 but I’ve even used a 500mm from the desk at the LG. If you’re down the front it’s a different thing altogether but the 70-200 is still useful.
