While sorting through & processing my photos of one of Danny Brown's shows from his 2014 Old Danny Brown Tour (this particular show was at The Met in Pawtucket, RI) I found this sequence of 7 shots to be mildly amusing. Being massively sleep deprived at the time may have made them more amusing than they really are (I especially enjoyed the expressions of some of the members of the crowd in a few of these pics) but I figured they were worth a share, even though most would typically be throwaway shots.
Commentary:
Photo 1: White Shirt Dude (henceforth referred to as WSD) crowd surfs toward stage to the dismay of crowd beneath him & entertainment of the unaffected crowd to either side [Highlights; guy with black shirt holding up WSD's foot, guy to the right with short light hair with his fist up cheering WSD on, guy directly above WSD's knee who looks utterly lost & guy on the far left in the white XXX album art shirt staring at me with a look on his face like he just realized he left the stove on or some shit.]
Photo 2: WSD gets closer, black hat guy in front row gets kicked in the head [Highlights: Guy directly below WSD's fist and the girl to the left of the guy with the gray striped sweatshirt look none too happy with their current situations; :( kinda feel a little bad]
Photo 3: WSD makes it to the stage, shares a tender moment with Danny
Photo 4: Danny looks at me while WSD attempts to climb up fully for a stage dive
Photo 5: WSD makes it all the way up & security guard on stage behind me leaps into action
Photo 6: Security guard (guy behind Danny in black coat & beanie hat) runs after WSD, WSD sees guard coming for him, inexplicably pulls his shirt over his head like a ghost costume and rushes toward opposite end of the stage for the stage dive. [Highlights: Danny and Dopehead are pros and keep killing it throughout all this. Also, girl in front row with puka shell bracelet just completely ducks for cover at this point.]
Photo 7: WSD *ALMOST MAKES IT* but is grabbed by security guard just as WSD attempts to leap off the speaker. Meanwhile, Danny, now inches away & out of focus in the foreground, seemingly adjusts himself
Epilogue: WSD is led off the far back of the stage by security guard (presumably to the exit) in defeat. I have photos of this too but they're too dark to really see much.
Fun fact: according to the EXIF data these 7 photos all took place within an 18 second time frame.
Oh yeah and I made 15 second video out of these on Instagram here set to Danny's music: http://instagram.com/p/nzACE6GkVU/#
Lastly, still working on the photos from this DB show and others from the Old Danny Brown Tour (nonstop) & will have full galleries up soon, figured some people might enjoy this in the meantime though.
