One of the few times I shot Kodachrome (I've probably done about 6 rolls in my 
life) was when I was going to a Rolling Stones concert in Hamburg, W Germany 
(1982).

I had borrowed a friend's 210mm zoom lens because I just KNEW I was going to be 
way back from the stage.  "Stadium seating" meant: get there early, be close.  
Get there late, be in back.

However - the unusually-warm temperatures that summer had the audience dropping 
out like flies and I just kept shifting forward to fill the gaps.   By the time 
Mick and the boys hit the stage I was in the front row, on a sunny day, with a 
telephoto lens and crisp, sharp slide film.  I can read the engravings on 
Keith's guitar and make out the teeth on his skull ring.  I was pleased.

It's still a bear to scan, though.
