Watt Iron Horse 041025

A GREAT show by a consummate musician. I have 33 images at 12"x72ppi resolution. If you would like a higher resolution for a print, email me the photo number and I will hook you up with a file suitable for large prints.

These were all shot at the 1600 ISO setting of the Canon 20D with either the 24-70mm/2.8L or the 135mm/2.0L without flash.

Many thanks to Watt, Raul and Pete for the friendly welcome they gave my buddy Dave and me...

We talked with Watt for about 30 minutes and covered eveything from the 60's to the 70's to Kafka to the Sand Pebbles to his bass track on my song Klaatu Barada Nikto and more.

Thank you, for being such an inspiration in my life. You are the reason I picked up a bass and started learning how to play. You are right next to Jaco Pastorius on my list. Happy Birthday Mike. Hope u liked the flower.

!Excellente! This was one of two shows I saw of this tour and I just stumbled on these....I never thought I would ever see pics of that event....I thought it was just left to my memory. So, thank you so much! Now that I think back, I do remember a guy with a nice camera at the scene...but dint know it was Yarbz. Those are some great shots...watt 'll love em.
