      Great gig. The only thing I ALWAYS hate about concert and studio shoots is the flipping of the camera angle every second. I'd rather just watch the band from one camera instead of inducing an epileptic seizure. Everyone does that flipping stuff. I want to watch the band not all that camera flips.
