Snow Patrol stop at the Tower theater in Philadelphia. I have to say this was a rockin’ stop. The venue was fantastic, and the crowd was fun, loud, and there to have a good time (and not sit on their hands). This in itself is a bit unusual as this happened to be a seated show, although, I don’t think anyone was actually sitting. As a music photographer I spend a lot of time at shows (obviously) and I rarely attend a seated gig that has the energy this show had. Personally, I don’t like seated shows as a concert goer or photogrpaher, but this crowd didn’t let the seats stop them, and it was clear the band felt that energy. So, we had a bit of fun with video during the end of the show from up back. I thought I’d post the video of my favorite live song of Snow Patrol’s current set. Oh, wait, that’s a lie. My favorite live song of their curent set is The Lightning Strike, but that’s 16 minutes long, so I don’t have the capability to record that. So, this is my second favorite live song of their set, Open Your Eyes.

Show na Filadélfia [26.09.09] « Snow Patrol Brasil - [...] O Snow Patrol fez uma parada no Tower Theatre, na Filadélfia. E devo dizer, foi uma parada roqueira. O lugar era ótimo, e a platéia era animada, barulhenta e estava lá para se divertir (e não ficar parada). Isso foi um pouco incomum, já que era para ser um show com lugares sentados, apesar de que eu acho que não havia ninguém, de fato, sentado. Como fotógrafa musical, obviamente passo muito tempo em shows e raramente vou a uma apresentação com lugares sentados que tinha a energia que essa teve. Pessoalmente, não gosto de lugares sentados, seja como freqüentadora, seja como fotógrafa, mas o público não deixou os assentos atrapalharem e estava claro que a banda sentiu essa energia. Então, a gente se divertiu um pouco filmando o final do show lá de trás. Pensei em postar um vídeo da minha música preferida do set deles. Espera, isso é mentira. Minha música preferida desse set deles é “The Lightening Strike”, mas ela tem 16 minutos de duração, e não tenho como gravar tanto tempo. Então minha segunda preferida desse set é “Open Your Eyes”. Veja o vídeo aqui. [...]
