Headstones At MTelus

We're a little bit backed up on getting my concert photographs up here on The Old Blog.  I suppose we will catch up at some point, but this would be a good time to remind you that my concert photographs can be seen in a much more timely manner by visiting V13Media, which you can do by following the link.  If you'd like an even more direct route to my photographs, you can visit my personal page over there but using the following link.  An early December night at the MTelus in Montreal featured a trio of terrific rock acts.  The second group to hit the stage on this particular evening were veteran Canadian punk rockers, Headstones.  Singer Hugh Dillon hit the stage with his middle finger cocked, locked and ready to rock.  The band opened with “Tweeter And The Monkey Man”.  The classic Travelling Wilburys track never sounded more aggressive.  Dillon made his first trip in to the crowd during “Leave It All Behind”.  By the end of the set he had made a return visit among the sweaty masses, who loved every moment of it.  Several times, Dillion made mention of Gord Downie and The Hip.  The Headstones worked two of their songs, “Blow At Hight Dough” and “New Orleans Is Sinking”, in to a couple of mid-set medleys.  They were all well received, especially by the tall gentleman who was wearing a Hip hockey jersey to the show.  The two new tracks from their latest album, Burn All The Ships, were greatly received as well.  The Headstones finished with with their classic track “Smile And Wave”, with a little bit of “Eve of Destruction” thrown in for good measure.  After this high energy performance, the crowd welcomed the stage change break.  All of the photographs were taken at f/3.2 while using various different shutter speeds, ISO settings and focal lengths.  Here are the rest of my photographs of Headstones, taken as they performed on the MTelus stage.

If you would like to find out more about Headstones and their music, you can do so by following the link to their website.  If you would like to see the photographs that I took of Finger Eleven and The Tea Party, who also performed that night, you can do so by following the respective links.  Headstones hit the stage and from the opening note injected the whole building with a shot of adrenaline that threatened to blow the roof off of the building.  I'm sure that they do the same during all of their shows.  Don't you dare miss it when Headstones arrive in a town near you.
