April 25th in Bee Caves Texas ZZ TOP played the 1ST show at the new  "BACKYARD" venue. I was lucky enough to get my camera into the show.  Me and the 8 person group I was with ended up in 5th row almost dead center.    At times during the show I would hand the camera to a couple of my friends who have also loved photography, Traye Dean and Dave LaVergne. Both have agreed I set the settings.  But I cannot take anything away from these guys. Dave is a lifelong f riend and nature photographer. Traye is a portrait photographer that I have the utmost respect for as a photographer in his field.  I Cannot take full credit for these pictures.  Signed Mike Shay
