The music was fantastic. Just phenomenal.
There are 60 photos, so take your time.

They played with at the Duck Room at Blueberry Hill on the Delmar Loop.

Sara Bareilles was the first opening act.


The second opening act was The Last Goodbye. They really blew the crowd away with how talented they were.





I had moved my way to the center of the stage to get some better shots. A professional photographer dropped down out of my shot then asked me what I shot. I said Canon and he took off his lens and handed it to me. It was a Tamron 17-24 2.8. Nice. These are the shots I got with his lens.


That was really cool. He was really nice.


Greg came out on sound check to inspect everything.

Then, it was concert time.
Rocco

Bassit Dave Beste

Drummer Ryan Carman

Percussionist Greg Velasquez









Rocco talking to the crowd.



















During their song "Soul", the crowd went nuts. I didn't get to capture it, but there was moshing going on.

At one point Rocco turned around and dropped to the ground. No warning, just, bam! Everyone rushed up to the stage. He was on his knees playing his Dobro on the ground.







He was drained.




During the concert, I got to meet a guy who used to play with Rocco in Long Beach. So, I got to go with them after the show and meet the band.

Chuck Berry often plays at Blueberry Hill and famously he had a signature guitar move called the "Duck Walk". The room is tributed to him for starting rock-n-roll as it is known today. Arguably the most famous resident from the STL.
Your pics are brilliantly captured -- it's easy to recall the electricity the room suspended that night. Each of these groups are worth a listen with an enthusiastic ear.
We came out for Rocco but got more than a bargain! Cheers to all of them and here's to their success for doing it right .... as it should be!

The concert was phenomenal. All the bands were just amazing and we got more than our moneys worth of music.
I will treasure that evening for a long long time.
