Lifequest22 said at 11:10 p.m. on May 14, 2008: Ahh--the Tabblo I've been waiting for so I could feel like I took the trip with you. And my expectations were on target. A lot of tired muscians who traveled so far to be a part of this fantastic event. I'll be back to visit again to take this all in and to be able savor all these great pics. Love it, Amiga. Another smile on my face.

Thank you, Oscar!
Sraines902 said at 11:49 p.m. on May 14, 2008: Slicin' the lifin'. (life-ing) Excellent collection. You're using your time in the Big Easy well. I'd wanted to praise the last few collections but had to keep moving on other things. They've been excellent. thanks. -stan
Pkeener said at 12:17 a.m. on May 15, 2008: Hey Stan! Nice to see some color on your avatar. I really appreciate your time and feedback. And iI feel the same about your work.
Leftofcenter said at 1:19 a.m. on May 15, 2008: backstage is kuel especially with a Keener pass- it's like being there, the crew and roadies takin a power nap whenever they can, the musicians arriving, all the electrical wiring.. yea, I feel the buzz- u caught it all with yr pics.
Suhud said at 1:27 a.m. on May 15, 2008: brilliant i guess. something that we miss a lot. backstage is a kind of 'hidden' environment. and you tell us that 'missing' part.
AliDar said at 2:29 a.m. on May 15, 2008: OH! I think you snapped a pic of Hendrix!!!!!
Andre. said at 3:17 a.m. on May 15, 2008: This is just great. Very stylish and "real". Thank you, Pam.
Appropos said at 3:25 a.m. on May 15, 2008: thanks for the peek backstage....
Wildthing said at 3:35 a.m. on May 15, 2008: Bubbling with life & living. I think you could find action in a cemetery. Great set.
21-gramm said at 7:33 a.m. on May 15, 2008: this is almost voyeurism, Pam, but exellent voyeurism! Ha-ha!
PhotoPop said at 8:47 a.m. on May 15, 2008: It is the process I enjoy seeing. All that it takes to put a finished package in front of the public. Wonderful tabblo.
Albert_09 said at 9:32 a.m. on May 15, 2008: Pam, bonita experiencia y bonitas fotos
Marcif said at 9:52 a.m. on May 15, 2008: Awesome set!
Hhwind said at 10:03 a.m. on May 15, 2008: Great scenes , lovely shots thanks for the trip
Chaitiamma said at 11:07 a.m. on May 15, 2008: Backstage is always another world compare to the front, excitement, waiting, nervous, another long waiting then the full excitement of going on stage. Great Tabblo !!!
Pkeener said at 1:00 p.m. on May 15, 2008: Hey, thank you! I love being a fly on the wall, and it is especially rewarding when I am able to be part of the crew with Carte Blanche. it was so exciting to be on stage behind the scenes, and it's a bit dificult to concentrate on taking good photos, but very fun to be in the moment.
Den, aren't we all a bit voyeuristic in our role as photographer? ;)
21-gramm said at 3:23 p.m. on May 15, 2008: Of course, Pam! I joked a little bit! Exact your hands and your lens!
Ira said at 4:04 p.m. on May 15, 2008: Interesting realistic tabblo. Unexpected photos and remarkable supervision.
UrbanParadoxes said at 4:29 p.m. on May 15, 2008: Nice collage, great persepctive ... makes me want to be there.
Flinkfar said at 4:29 p.m. on May 15, 2008: YEP - backstage is definitely the place to be! Terrific shots of the guys behind the show, i really sense the feeling.
EMA said at 5:09 p.m. on May 15, 2008: Interesting and colourful tabblo. Each caracter gives it a new expression.
AliDar said at 9:33 p.m. on May 15, 2008: There's something about the backstage atmosphere that I find more exciting then watching the show... Whatever that is Pam, you've captured it. :) Great tab! Love the shots of the woman taking a snooze on the red cart!
Siagian said at 10:49 p.m. on May 15, 2008: yes celebrating the festivities can get tiring and the folks involved will need a power nap or two to recharge every now and then! great insider shots Pam! =)
ElZorroTOX said at 7:23 a.m. on May 16, 2008: Makes me wish I could've been there.
Leftofcenter said at 3:08 p.m. on May 16, 2008: is the cool dude blowing you a kiss??
TavarES said at 5:16 p.m. on May 16, 2008: Without doubt, one more, excellent! Only needed a little more energy! It was for later!!!
Pkeener said at 12:09 a.m. on May 17, 2008: yes, he was...
Nina1960 said at 3:51 a.m. on May 17, 2008: All your pictures are great...I wish I was there....I love that type environment.
Nina1960 said at 4:03 a.m. on May 17, 2008: I love the african music from Habib Koite ...I like to dance on his music.....Did you dance Pam??
Eduardo.affonso said at 8:20 a.m. on May 17, 2008: This kind of tabblo should be called "Pam Special" - here is your talent for documentary photos, capturing what is behind the scene, hidden details, the not so glamourous part of show business. It's real life, and that's why I llike it so much.
Pkeener said at 10:55 a.m. on May 17, 2008: Thank you , Edu! You knowhow i love these behind the scens picture taking opportunities. Marian, You know their music? I was so impressed to learn of their popularity all over the world, but especially in Europe. I did dance!
Abking said at 12:06 a.m. on May 18, 2008: Tough work putting on a show, and it shows. Got to nap when you can. There are some interesting musical instruments here, like the gourd/xylophone. Some great smiles, and a sense of anticipation drifting through the photos.
Pkeener said at 1:22 a.m. on May 18, 2008: Allan, thank you for your great insight. The instrument is exactly what you described. It is called a balafone. The musician, Keletigui Diabate, practically 80 years old, has been in the studio with every major player, including Lionel Hampden. He is the sweetest soul. He made this balafone with his own hands!!
Sirnicolay said at 2:54 a.m. on May 18, 2008: Amazing concert coverage, Pam! I love the POV of the storytelling here :)
Nina1960 said at 3:04 a.m. on May 18, 2008: I know their music and when I hear the music I feel it inside and have to move..here you have a link..this is part 2 http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=9iNaxNJM-bk
Mariusblack said at 8:33 a.m. on May 18, 2008: again, love it, love it, love it. it has that sort of underground coolness to it. would love to have been there. =)
Jantass said at 6:31 p.m. on May 18, 2008: wow,Spectacular tabblo!!
Debdog said at 10:39 p.m. on May 19, 2008: love their music..thanks for the backstage peek :)
