Spellbinding Help > Slip breakup - sounded like they done it a thousand times before and not even a shred of mercy for the dancers with THAT 2nd set. It was just one long amazing song.

Forum MVP PoetryGirl Posted yesterday at 12:47 PM Forum MVP Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:47 PM What an easy escapade to Charlotte! The Amp amphitheater opened in fall of 2023 in the planned mixed use area south of Charlotte. After work we drove up through some pretty significant weather. It has been a very rainy May, dumping lots of rainfall at a time, but it didn’t stop the show! Very easy parking. I had dinner outside one of the restaurants and listened to the first set, cooling my heels after a long day of doctoring, avoiding getting drenched, not that it mattered much. But for a while, it was luxury to dine and take in the music. The rain stopped pretty much second set with a light cooling mist every now and then. 😃 We got an upgrade to pit while checking in as a kind man gave us his extra. Astroturf might just be my favorite outdoor ground cover! Funny, I felt most comfortable on the springy fake grass! It gave heavenly cushion, no nasty beer spills to avoid, good footing! Scored all night in the endzone! We had great dancing all around. I’m sure the sound was better on the lawn. I couldn’t hear Barraco as much in the mix where I was. The spirit of a dead show hovered around as St Stephen dropped. That old familiar feeling came knocking. Groovy NFA with very nice percussive moments in first half of NFA and Eaton and Mattson trading licks and pushing the music further in the interplay, clearly delighting Eaton. Truly, the HSF sandwich with all the extra stuffing delivered a meaty, sonically tasty meal. The slipknot fomented in second half, Skip booming deep bass riffs. Yes, may the four winds blow us safely home in this crazy world! Meanwhile, might as well celebrate like a Saturday night- grab the sunshine when you can- smell the roses- and forget the tribulation of the world. US Blues never sounded so right. 💃🏻🕺🏻🌹 Excited for Asheville and Charleston. First filler, Don’t Do It. yes, dontcha break my heart. Quote Link to comment

Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted 22 hours ago Forum MVP Report Share Posted 22 hours ago The last four tunes of the first set and what they did to Help/Slip/Frank makes me want to hear that stuff live and wish I was there. Quote Link to comment
