Have been a bit reclusive lately but decided to go out and see Chickenfoot do a show.  For those of you who haven't heard of them the band consists of Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony of Van Halen, Chad Smith from the Chilli Peppers and Guitar Maestro Joe Satriani.  A formidable line up by any standards.   My good friend Wendy set it up for me to go out and shoot the show.  Got talking to Michael Anthony backstage, turned out we had a couple of mutual friends, very nice guy and quite unassuming. 

Great show, wasn't quite sure what to expect musically but each of the guys did what they do best and it gelled big time.  Have to say that Satriani really was impressive.  Michael and Chad Smith hammed it up for a few shots for me which was a nice touch.  The stage was low which was a very welcome thing, the high ones are always a pain for any music photographer as you end up with too many upshots of the artists noses.  Stayed on after the first three songs and shot just about all of the set thanks to Joes manager Mick kindly arranging that one.  Cheers Mick!

They're at the end of the tour almost but if you get a chance to go out and see them play then do it, highly recommended and a great night out.
