Tribute to Neil Young (test with the Canon 6D)

[bingbang]

Made during a concert by a band that played songs from Neil Young. This was als a test with the new Canon 6D (I like it).
I am more specifically interested by technical comments from people who shoot concerts. This was my very fist concert shooting, so I need advices. But all comments are welcome, of course.

Not a big issue if I don't get any comments, but I was just wondering if it is because the pictures are just boring, non inspiring or bad. Anybody ?

I'm so very NOT into concert photography, but I think these are quite nice, mostly so the second. Surprisingly noise-free - and I love the blue-blue background, goes so well with the colour of the guitars!

Don't know what to think. The color temperature seems to be way off. Skin tones are wrong mainly but also the strong blue. #1 has better composition as I don't like the light on #2 in the lower right. What did you use for camera settings? They are not in the EXIF data.

with so many different colored lights it's difficult to get normal skin tones. I think these are just fine, I was in shock that Neil looked so much worse than I saw last...and that's pretty bad Neil is my favorite songwriter/singer even if he can't sing.

Thanks to you. Yes indeed it is almost impossible (and not necessarily wanted) to respect white balance on the skin, as there are various lights and on those pictures there is an orange lighting coming straight on the guy.

I really like these, I go to a lot of shows to film performances n such so i know these shots aren't easy, but just a editing tip, if you select his face and apply a b/w gradient map in photoshop and put the blend mode on darken, you can ussually get rid of tht super red face.

course this isn't fixed 100% but its a start.
