Lowlight: It's been too long!
Fill in: I have photographed this band since the early nineties one of the weirdest experiences being a feature with Tony making a trifle!
The main incentive to cover this band was just to see them perform again. One of the best bands to photograph and see live, especially at festivals as Tony is the only front man I know who can get a whole crowd of 'couldn't care less - I'm only here to see MetallicaIronMaidenWhiteSnakeDeffLeppard' hardcore Reading Festival fans to bounce up and down in time, clap hands in the air and smile with just the sheer force of positive energy - no fireworks, no naked ladies, no burning guitars - just Tony.

Tech Spec: Nikon D700 - ISO 3200, Aperture F2.8 (to make most of light). WB - daylight/tungsten (depending on song).No flash allowed but I would liked to use it for fill in. Shutter 1/250 (Tony is a fast mover). Lighting changed very quickly so I put camera to aperture priority and hoped for best. Some of the pictures were worked on in Photoshop to bring up the shadow areas and increase contrast.
