This was the end/final bow of Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra's outdoor concert at Lincoln Center's Damrosch Bandshell back in early August.
It was the most fun I had at a concert in a while - particularly because I hadn't been to a concert since Paul McCartney the previous summer and because the emotionality of Amanda's music really gets to me. I also met up with a few friends, one I knew from my college radio station, another from some Neil Gaiman events in the city this year, and another who I became friends with through a social media photo site that went the way of the dodo.
It captures the energy of the performers and the crowd, the burst of creativity from Amanda and crew, and both the connection and disconnect that the audience had with what was happening on stage (as you can see from the waves of smartphones and digital cameras).
