There are a couple of things worth mentioning before viewing. <\/p>\n<p>The first is that the <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/ashland\/tag\/lx3\/>LX3<\/a> can take great video (even in poor lighting conditions by someone who is very tired and in a state of constant jostlement by those around him). I seriously doubt there is a camera, that can be easily brought into concerts, that can take better photographs and video. Be sure to set the LX3 to HD mode and 16:9 viewing. Also, don&#8217;t be afraid to zoom into the digital mode on an LX3. I believe the non-digital mode only goes to 2.5X. The video below is at about 5X and the results are pretty good. Since you can&#8217;t change the zoom once the video begins be sure to get to 5X (or something closer to the maximum of 10X if you are farther away) before starting the recording.<\/p>\n<p>The second thing to note is Per Wiberg, the keyboardist, at around minute 3. He moves his microphone out of the way to prepare to headbang which I find very amusing.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"800\" height=\"505\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/g6OM4WMaxDk&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;hd=1&#038;iv_load_policy=3\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/g6OM4WMaxDk&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;hd=1&#038;iv_load_policy=3\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"800\" height=\"505\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This guy in the crowd with one arm up and a yellow wrist band messed up a large number of my shots.
