I shot over 50 shows, probably a hundred performances in 2009. Here is a small sampling of concert photography from the past year, mostly from Cain’s Ballroom. I left out previously seen material such as SXSW, Dfest, Norman Music Fest, and concerts I’ve already covered. Not many local shows here either. Don’t hate me, it took long enough to put this together.  SEE A SLIDESHOW OF THESE AND MORE >

AFI Lights above. The Misfits show (below) was THE loudest concert of the year. Ouchy.

Though i’m not a huge fan of their music, AFI had one of the best light shows of the year, and lots of energy on stage.
