Danny Brown at Deluxe

Before I got to Deluxe, in the basement of Old National Centre (known more popularly by a much better name, the Murat Shrine), I expected a similar setup to all of my work at Klipsch: I would be able to shoot the first three songs in the pit right in front of the stage. I got there to find a poorly-lit stage and no pit. To compensate, the event handler I talked to said I could walk onto the edge of stage left, and I also found an elevated part of the room by the bar where I could shoot over the crowd. So, despite the inconsistent-to-nonexistent light (and my D300, which by no means has the best sensor in low light), I found enough good photos for another of David Lindquist's photo-story reviews.

By the way, the show was the last tour date featuring both Danny Brown and Kitty (formerly known as Kitty Pryde). Danny Brown got into some hot water earlier in the tour when... well, you can read about it here^{explicit note} A woman came up on stage during his show in Minneapolis, pulled his pants down, and performed oral sex on him.. It's fueled quite the brouhaha, and it brings up an interesting issue.
