Ted Nugent, “The Motor City Madman” comes to Phoenix, AZ

Concert photography is always one of the tough gigs to capture, as a photographer you are restricted to the first three songs of the headlining performer’s set, the lighting is very harsh i.e., one second the blue spotlight is on, and the next it is off.

On the other hand, you get to combine your love for rock and roll with your love for photography, well at least for the first three songs.

I had always been a Nugent fan from the early days and have seen “Uncle Ted” several times in support of his “Cat Scratch Fever” album and “Weekend Warriors” album so this wasn’t the first I had seen Ted Nugent, just the first time I had photo credentials.
