please click on photo to see band up close
red rabbit is the name of a song by the indie rock group the shins. they sang it beautifully monday night while they were performing at terminal five in manhattan. if you ever have the chance to see a show there, I suggest you try it. it's a small venue with lots of standing room as well as seating on the second and third balcony. my fellows and I got there by six in order to secure a place by the stage. while riding around the block looking for parking, half of us spotted James Mercer (lead singer, songwriter) leaving his bus, which was an exciting surprise-we were literally inches away! and yes, we easily found parking on the street, though we had to sit in our car until 7 pm lest we wanted it towed. please go here to hear the wonderful song red rabbit.

Very interesting use of R. Unusual post. Thanks for sharing the song too.

The only think I know about The Shins is that the leading singer used to date one of the original girls from American's Next Top Model. :-)
Attractive image of the group, Lily. Beautiful perspective.
Great shot, Lily! And a great one for the R Day!
I haven´t yet gotten in to The Shins bandwagon but it´s just a matter of time. Good gig photo.
I haven't been to a concert in ages! Boy I've turned into a real fuddy duddy! I used to usher at concerts for free admission when I was a teenager;) Awesome! I'll look for an MP3 of their's online!
ROCK on!
Thanks for the link , nice song :)
I just love live music, especially to photograph. Excellent choice for me
This is so interesting!
My son and his wife were at the same concert!
WE were on Long Island visiting my mother in law earlier in the day.
By the way the garden I photographed is in Huntington and the owner would be happy to show it to you.
She is a very keen gardener.
You got a good shot of that band which can be difficult in crowds...I like their lighting...fun that you got a sneak peek at the lead singer...
i always love blogs with photos...wish to visit this place one day!! thanks for the visit!
