Robert Plant | Alison Krauss
This was so awesome I don't even know where to begin! Plant and Krauss sounded as good or better this evening live as they do on their album, Raising Sand. They played almost every track and then some... Yes, they even played a few Led Zeppelin songs: Black Dog, Black Country Woman and The Battle of Evermore. Each sounded beautifully amazing as a duet with Krauss. As did Plant's In The Mood. Krauss also sang Down to the River to Pray from the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. Everything just sounded beautiful and amazing!
I was very excited to see, hear and take pictures of this event and nothing was going to stop me. As soon as the previous act left the stage, I made a beeline for front and center on the railing. I managed to stay relatively unobtrusive to the people behind me, who were probably the only people in the audience not standing, and fire off just over a thousand shots before security came up and said I had to put away my camera because my lens was too big. Lame! But, oh well. So I gave my spot to the girl behind me with a point and shoot camera, which I adjusted so she could get a better picture.

Yeah, I laid on the shutter button pretty heavy during this show!

Were you using some sort of soft focus lens. The aura around them is great! Oh, dear man, teach me your skills!
