Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters and I are close. Or at least we were last year at the Pavilion in The Woodlands Texas. My second row seat was only a few feet away. There were cameras aplenty in the pit, and mine was one of them. So below are the snaps from the May 5, 2008 performance.
The sold out performance was one of the best classic rock concerts to roll through Texas in a while. And it doesn’t get much more classic than the shows second half which featured Waters and band doing Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety. The smoke, lights and lasers were all accounted for, but the giant video screen backdrop presented a stunning array of visuals that perfectly complemented the performance.
Here is a review of the show from the Houston Press.

In this first in a series of surreptitious snapshot stories, No Cameras Allowed is pleased to present these photos of one of my favorite live acts, Alice Cooper.
Sorry, on this one all I had with me was my iPhone. The cameras in these first and second generation iPhones are lacking to put it mildly. But I did manage to grab a few sole-stealing snaps of The Coop before and after they hung him for his sins.
Below are photos from the October 2007 performance at the Verizon Wireless (maybe that’s why my ATT phone did poorly) Theater in Houston Texas. The first photos is of the opening act, Lillian Axe. The second blurry photo is Alice’s set list. It was being passed around the audience before the show. The remaining shots are all pure Alice. Enjoy.
The Houston Chronicle ran this interview with Cooper the day of the show.
