"Anyway, Anyway" is out today for mass consumption. We performed this song live a few times in the latter half of last year to work out the kinks--one of those times being captured here. The track has had different variants, but its spirit has remained unchanged. Well, anyway, enjoy.

I left my camera at home….
That may not sound like a big deal, but for someone who has spent more than half a lifetime documenting live music, it felt downright unnatural. What started as a rare night off turned into something much bigger: a reminder that while the music will always survive, the images that preserve it are not guaranteed. This review contains no photos by design. It’s a glimpse of what live music coverage looks like when the photographers who have been telling these stories for decades can no longer afford to keep doing it.
I built an entire concert review around what’s missing.
No photos. No gallery. No visual proof that the show happened.
Tonight became an accidental but very real look at what happens when photographers are squeezed by rights-grabbing contracts, shrinking opportunities, and the hard truth that passion doesn’t pay the mortgage. The music goes on. The images don’t.
