I'm not sure what shots you "wanted", but I think you got some exceptional shots. Nicely done. I especially like #3 and think that if a little of the black background above and below Sir Paul were edited out that that photo would be "Rolling Stone" worthy. The way Paul is isolated and the lighting make for one great shoot.
An interesting take on it. The photo is cropped but I kept the 3x2 perspective and wanted to keep some space on either side. I could just free hand crop to take out some top and bottom. I may play around and try b&w even. I do think it shows to some extent why you often hear about getting flash off camera for contrast. The spotlight served as one big side light. I appreciate your feedback.

I really like the "silhouette" look of #2. The capture of his profile and the complimentary angle of the guitar work quite well together. And, in any event, you were pretty darn close to the action!

Very nice shots. I like shooting from the side of he stage, but it usually very limiting. Local people very anti-camera at paid venues. Catch-all rule is "No-go, that looks like a professional camera."
Do you find that singers often have their eyes closed?

Eyes closed sometimes yes. I usually shoot bursts to guard against catching them blinking. On slower songs, yes, they can have eyes closed a lot.
I called the venue day of show and said if camera fits in pocket and no detachable lens then OK

Thank you. About 75 feet away.

Those are excellent shots. Saw him a couple of years ago here in DC, my favorite concert ever!
