U2 play Kyps

U2, well the Tribute band for U2, Us4 played Kyps last night and I had the pleasure of hearing them perform and keep my low light photography eye in, and boy did it push me! A new lighting guy was in, his first time ever doing lighting! i tried for about 5 minutes to get some decent shots, but i was @ ISO3200, f/2.8 and shooting between 1/30-1/50 with a very energetic Bono jumping and dancing all over the stage, it just wasnt going to happen. So a quick word and we were back in business (still at ISO3200 for the most). I have to say he picked up pretty quickly and the 2nd half of the show's light was near what i'm used to shooting at kyps.
