It's difficult to find the words to describe how nice and down to earth (and hilarious) the guys are. Their music and live show is equally entertaining.
I've had the pleasure of knowing them since the first tour of America way back, so needless to say I've photographed them more than any band (unofficially. Gotta check on that!) I wanted to visit with a friend of mine at the show Tuesday in Jackson, MS, so I did not request photo credentials, and just watched the show and enjoyed watching for once without a camera with me! IT WAS NICE :)
However, the next night I went with two other friends (slowly trying to visit with as many as I can before I move.) I asked if I could shoot some and the guys were cool with it. I brought one camera and decided I needed to try and do what I could with one camera in the first three songs like most have too. It must be said though, given full/ all-access to shoot the entire show from anywhere is so much better and allows for so many more options and images.
I had a blast shooting and hanging out with the guys and my friends.
