It was my 18 year old kiddo and me. We actually won these tickets last October on a local radio station! My son was going to take a friend but in the end, nobody that he runs with cares about Dead & Co or John Mayer and the child is deeply into both. Since his dad got to go with him to see John Mayer this past April, I got to take this road trip and we just had a blast. Lordy it was hot tho. Then again, the heat is why they grow all that food in that part of Washington. It truly was memorable. Owen, my son, is also a musician…he’s played piano since he was 6 and guitar the past few years. It’s really fun to listen to this music through a musician’s perspective.
As a side note…and maybe a question for you…and this comes from my son…he noticed that he didn’t see any person of color at The Gorge show. Looking back, I didn’t either. That venue is in a deep red part of Washington and the only POC are in service jobs. But, we’ve streamed quite a few Dead & Co shows this tour and I’ve been scanning the crowds and haven’t seen many folks of color. Not a judgement, just an observation and I’m curious about your thoughts?
