I see a lot of concerts each year, but I’ve never really taken the time to try to catalog them into one space. So I thought I’d attempt to list all of the shows I saw in 2010 — and to make it fun — include some reviews, photos, videos, etc.. from a bunch of them. I’m pretty sure that I’ve left a few out, but the list is already pretty darn long. And I think it nicely captures most, if not all of my concert fun from 2010…

Here’s to a 2011 filled with lots of great live music!

Last week, I had a nice opportunity to test out my brand-new DSLR camera — a Nikon D5000 — in a more difficult setting: a Brothers Past concert at Brooklyn Bowl. Although I’m still getting the hang of the thing, I was able to grab a few decent shots.

If you want the full round-up of the show (with setlist and video), head on over to Live Music Blog. Otherwise, check out a few of my favorite shots below…

Not bad for my first attempt, eh?

Head on over to my flickr page, if you want to check out the full photo set.

It’s just a draft so it’s a bit rough around the edges. But I think I kinda like it that way. In fact, I decided that this should be my new twitter background.
