Yes, they are your personal experience of photos obtained at a public event. You may even sell them to a newspaper for their commentary/review of the performance. They can probably be used for anything that doesn't imply the band's endorsement of anything.

Hello everyone,

There is a nearby city festival planned for next month, which will feature some nationally know recording artists performing in public, and there is no admission fee for the event whatsoever. Since the performance is viewable from public sidewalks, and there is no restriction on viewing the event, and no fees are charged to the public, can I photograph this event and put the images on my personal web space?

I would think this would be fair game, especially if I didn't sell the photos. I would effectively be "reporting" about a news event in my area. While I'm not a professional journalist, do I have to be recognized as a professional journalist to legally publish photos of a news-worthy public event on my personal web space?
