We survived another 3 day weekend with Dave and the crew at the Gorge in George, WA. We stayed in the campground with our Class-C camper and had tickets for all 3 nights. We had some weather issues on Saturday and Sunday evenings, but everything cleared up for show time, and things stayed rather pleasant during most of the day.
We attended the 3 shows last year immediately after the untimely death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore. It was a very somber and memorable performance last September, and we were glad to see the band pour some of that grief into their latest release. Their new album, in my opinion, is certainly worthy of the accolades it is receiving internationally.
All three nights were good shows. The opening act, G-Love and Special Sauce, was good for a listen on Friday night, but we decided to skip them Sat and Sun. The set list consisted of a great mix of old and new songs, and a couple real surprises like 'The Maker' which they played as an encore on Saturday. Sunday was by far the best night of the weekend in my opinion. We got some great solo's and some great intertwining jams with Recently and Crush, two of my personal fav's.
