Metallica Photos - James Hetfield - Lars Ulrich - Kirk Hammett - Robert Trujillo at Bonnaroo - Photos

Metallica at Bonnaroo - The crowd at Bonnaroo packed What Stage to see Metallica on the start of their 2008 World Tour.  This was one of the biggest events to take main stage at Bonnaroo or anywhere else in the U.S. for that matter.  A perfect evening, Metallica rocked out the Tennessee farm where the music festival is held.  Metallica's current band members are James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo.

Best Concert Photos of the Decade - Concert Photography - Metallica at Bonnaroo

While it may be hard to imagine some of what the next 10 years in live music will have to offer it is not hard to look back at the last decade of music at Performance Impressions.  Approaching 200 concert and festivals archived at Performance Impressions' live music photography archive, there is no shortage of memories looking back at the past decade of my music photography galleries.  In the next few days as we approach the end of 2009, I will share some of my most memorable experiences and some of my favorite concert photos.

Bonnaroo 2008 - Bonnaroo is never dull but Metallica brought things to another level of excitement.  Just before heading to Europe on their 2008 world tour, I had the honor of working onstage with Metallica in front of a soldout 100,000 people in the Tennessee night.  Metallica's performance at Bonnaroo was historic.

Furthur Tour Photos - Phil Lesh - Bob Weir - Jeff Chimenti - John Kadlecik - Jay Lane - Joe Russo - December 8, 2009 Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City

Just got the first of the two Furthur shows from the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC up at Performance Impressions.  The December 8 show was good but most people seem to agree that the next night's performance raised the bar a few notches.  After 9/11 Phil befriended many of New York City Firefighters.  About a dozen NYC firefighters came to the Tuesday night performance at Phil's invitation I assume.  Tickets are still on sale for the 2010 Furthur Tour but are selling out.  See below for direct links to purchase Furthur tickets.

Warren Haynes Xmas Jam - 21st Annual Christmas Jam Photos 2009

Once again, as expected, the 2009 Warren Haynes Christmas Jam was a rockin and memorable event full of all star performances.  Warren came out with most of the performers during the music filled evening.  Stax Records legend William Bell shared the stage with Aerosmith's Brad Whitford during Born Under a Bad Sign.  This year's event included Ani DiFranco, George Porter Jr., Jimmy Herring, and many of the Xmas Jam staples: Ron Holloway, Audley Freed and Mike Barnes
