Drama and expression in an image takes it to the pro level. Unfortunately some of the legends are very low key, making it extremely hard to obtain anything but a mug shot. Patience is a virtue.
Every performer expresses the same mannerism's. Timing is crucial! Usually in between phrazes of a song they'll pull away from the mike to hit higher notes or glance over to another band member. That's your que to shoot!
The shot of a singer eating a mike is non-sellable. Also look for catch lights in the eyes, this is frosting on the cake. Technically you can can add these in Photoshop after the fact however its always best to achieve this in camera.
Remember performers feed off the crowd, try to capture any interaction that may play out.
