Let's take a day and enjoy some Seal. Also stuff seen around the concert.

Taking some of the intermission to look at the back of the house.

And another look up at the ceiling.

The curtain as we wait for Seal to start the main show.

Chinese lions guarding the edge of the seating area.

Seal beaming in. Yes, that's Trevor Horn playing guitar on the left of the picture there.

Deeper into the performance and just a gorgeous, subtle light spectacle.


SAM_6123.jpeg

Possibly the best shot I got of Trevor Horn playing all night, the moment when his legs were devoured by Cousin Itt.

I liked getting a shot of the person's phone. Not being snarky here; after all, I'm photographing the experience here myself. But there's this common desire here that I find touching. ... I guess they're taking a video, being a bit bolder than I am.

Seal doing a little crowd work while Trevor Horn tries to sneak out a second.

And the stage, cleared. I forget if this is waiting for the encore or after it. Probably after, given how many people have gotten up. I loved the web of light streaks, though.

A quick look at the carpeting, in case you wanted to reproduce it yourself. Also at the seats, surprisingly simple considering how much everything else is meant to overload your senses.

And there! Finally a picture of the organ keyboard where you can make it out.
