That out-of-focus fist over Ozzy's chest on the last photo is spooky. Did you use a telephoto lens? These historical photos look so lively to this very day.
I congratulate you for getting such close-ups....

I would have been using either a 135mm f/2.8 or 85mm f/1.7 lens for these particular photos. More likely it was the 85mm, since I was in the 2nd or 3rd row. I probably would have been better off with the 135mm lens, in hindsight. The guy who would smuggle my camera in for me (by that time) was a REALLY paranoid type, so he probably would've insisted it was a smaller lens than the 135mm.
Really wish I could have OPENLY photographed this show. I assure you the end result would have made these 4 photos throw-aways, by comparison.
