The love ended about 30 feet later



Megaphone guy and his cadre of 15 year-old blonde pamphlet girls was also accompanied by this guy, carrying a “Matthew 7:13-14″ banner.

I guess their message is that secular rock and roll leads to sympathy for the devil. I guess they missed the Capital Metro gospel tent.

The following verse, Matt 7:15, warns to “watch out for false prophets.”

Then again, Matthew 7 starts “Judge not, that ye be not judged,” so perhaps I should shut up now…

I miss the dude from the 80s with the rainbow wig



Fundamentalist “missionaries” go to all the best parties. The guy talking into the megaphone was preaching that John 3 was the best message man’s ever received. (I won’t argue with that.)

He was accompanied by a handful of youth (seemed to be about 14-15 years old by my guess) passing out pamphlets.

It was hard to hear Coldplay over the megaphone. (It was just as entertaining though.)

Colplay, as close as you’re gonna get from me



This was the full 12X digital zoom. The back of the stage was a giant digital clock counting down, or something.

Coldplay



This was as close as I could get the stage … And that’s WITH about a 4X zoom if I remember correctly.

The Moan



I believe I took this shot during their song called “The Moan.” One thing’s for sure, Auerbach’s got a bluesy howl that’s as authentic as they come.

Dan’s the man

Patrick Carney



This drum set didn’t stop shaking during the hour-long set.

I don’t have many pictures of the Black Keys



Because I was too busy picking my jaw up off the floor. Because it’s hard to hit the buttons on the camera while you’re bouncing up and down. Because they didn’t stand still long enough to get a shot that wouldn’t be at least this blurry.

Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys



This dude can absolutely wail. The energy and full-range attack of Jack White, with the blues-heavy riffology of Jimmy Page.

The Black Keys
