There was an energy buzzing around the MTelus on Friday night as Pittsbugh punk rock legends Anti-Flag had finally arrived. This show was originally schedued to take place in March of last year but it became one of the first victims of The Plague. As the band hit the stage, you could feel the 20 months of anticipation build up through the crowd. As the lights went down and once the first notes of Hate Conquers All began to play, the crowd, which had remained seated during the first two bands, erupted in a wave of humanity that crashed towards the protective barrier. It sent everything, including Your Friendly Neighbourhood Photographer, crashing in its wake. Luckily I'm a large enough guy to withstand the waves, though getting brushed around did cost me a nice jump shot which is rather disappointing. They were promoting their most recent album, 20/20 Vision which was release in late 2019, but their setlist had a selection of songs that span the last 25 years. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/320sec, ISO 6400 at 24mm. Here are several more photographs from the show.
