If you've already searched the web for pics of your favorite rock event... you may also want to try Usenet. It's essentially the original web bulletin board system and is still quite active as you might know if you've ever been at Google Groups. Some groups are dedicated just to non-text messages... pics, sound files... etc. These are known as binaries. While there may be other services out there I know of one: http://www.usenetbinaries.com/ They supposedly now have about 10 million images that were posted in the past few months. You can sign up for a free account with download limits. Warning... many of the groups are adult... and some go beyond the distasteful. But on the other hand I've found some amazing historic pics there. My dad is a Gee Bee racer fanatic who used to hang around at the airport where the Gee Bees were built in the 30's. I found pics taken there he's never seen. It's like eBay in that there's a constant turnover of images.
