A Final Farewell

A Final Farewell by JeremyHall.
Taken at the last show in London at the O2 Arena. This is the last performance in the UK of the Osmonds all together. It was a very emotional moment for the Osmonds and the fans alike. The original 4 performing Osmond Brothers are being applauded by their younger siblings as this tour was really celebrating their 50 year anniversary of performing.

This is one of those times that I am happy with the shot I got, but also sad that I couldn't be in two places at once. I wanted the scene with the enormous crowd being a part of it, which is why I chose to be back stage. What I didn't realize is how emotional this was for the Osmonds, and being behind them I missed the opportunity to capture those emotional expressions from the front. What can you do but be happy with what you were able to capture, right?

I'm glad you chose this angle. The sheer size of the crowd conveys the weight of the moment at least as well as their facial expressions would. A truly Great shot.

Well this one is great ... nice to see the immense crowd. I think the front view might have been just "typical" - this is unique.

I was in the audience at one of the Wembley concerts and was lucky enough to be in the third row.

All of the Osmonds looked like they were really enjoying performing together and also they seemed to like hearing the audience sing their songs FOR THEM. At some points they just pointed the microphone towards the audience!! This does really convey the 'feel' and the immense size of the massive crowds that came out to see them.

It felt slightly 'surreal' to me and I consequently missed the first two songs!! However I've got the audio CD of the concert so I've listened to them now! A friend went to the 'meet and greet' and was totally charmed by them all AND yes, they DO all have great teeth! (So lucky with their hair and teeth!)

Brilliant photo.
