Barenaked in New York City
December 03, 2008 by David Bergman
Yesterday, I spent the day around town with the guys from Barenaked Ladies, who were in NYC for a couple of TV appearances.
In the morning, they were on “Live with Regis and Kelly,” where I snapped this shot of a cue card during sound check. It’s interesting seeing supermodel Heidi Klum‘s name followed by the words “Barenaked Ladies.” I’ll let you write your own caption.
In the evening, we had some free time in a hotel room overlooking Bryant Park, where the guys watched the crowd gather for the upcoming show.
The band played “Elf’s Lament” and “Green Christmas” as featured performers in the Bryant Park Christmas tree lighting show.
Except for the fact that CBS couldn’t get the tree to light up when it was supposed to, the day went pretty well.
David,
Wonderful photos as always. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better photo of Jim (Steve blurred in the foreground.) Fantastic! Any chance you’ll be at the Toronto shows this weekend?
David, you take the greatest pictures of the guys. They all look so happy! I hope you take the Toronto and Ottawa pics so I can “be there” vicariously at least!
Great shot from the hotel room, David. Such a reminder that even performers/celebrities are human. They look excited about the crowd! Thanks for the behind-the-scenes view. Nice work.
Jeff
Thanks for sharing with us David! Steven is looking GREAT these days! I think I like Image 10 of Jim the best. He looks as though the lynch pin of his practical joke is about to get pulled!
Happy Holidays and we’ll see you on the cruise!
