The photographs were part of an awesome collection of colour and black and white photographs taken of local, national and international musicians and artists who performed at music festivals, concerts, pubs, and other events around St. John's Newfoundland from 2008 to 2016. Included in the collection of photographs were some wonderful shots of the massive crowd of fans who came every year to St. John's for these events.
They were taken by a photographer known as Sin Jawns and are available at their webpage sinjawn.com. The photographs are well sorted and can be accessed according to the year, artists, and venues.
A copy of the setlist was circulated and supporting fan videos tell me they opened with Donkey Riding, Captain Kidd and Love Me Tonight then performed many of their classic songs such as The Night Pat Murphy Died, Lukey's Boat, Good People, Safe Upon The Shore, Ferryland Sealer, Helment Head, Consequence Free, Mari-Mac, and concluded with Ordinary Day. They came back for an encoure of Long Life, Oh Yeah and Old Black Rum.
Although there are no photographs of the crowd in this collection on this night but the reaction of the crowd to the music and performance was recorded in a number of fan videos from philpotta (Ordinary Day and The Night Pat Murphy Died) and NewfoundlandFanPages (Consequence Free) on YouTube. The fan video titled Great Big Sea @The 2011 George Street by NewfoundlandFanPages of Great Big Sea performing Consequence Free shows a crowd on fire and enjoying every moment singing and dancing along with all the songs with the hometown boys .
I have included a screen shot of some of the awesome photographs from Great Big Sea's appearance at The George Street Festival in St. John's Newfoundland in 2011. I have circulated the fan videos via my Google + page for those interested in taking a trip down memory lane. No copyright infringement intended.
