Most recently saw Cowboy Junkies, Paul McCartney, and St. Paul and the Broken Bones. A Sarah Shook concert was postponed the day of the show when a band member caught covid -- that might sound familiar around here.

In Nashville it was openly beside the drums rather than behind them. He spoke with Steve, and waved his smoke away from his face. It was their 4th (full) show without Charlie, right after Keith sang a heartfelt Slipping Away, at that same point: at the end of his backstage Miss You break. We had the debate then what it was. Many say weed. I still go with a cigarette.

I haven't been to a SIXTY show but judging just from Irix's pics the catwalk looks to me to be pretty much the same height as No Filter's. Well higher than your head... unless you're an NBA center. Being right on the No Filter catwalk rails was not the place to be if you wanted to see the opposite side of the stage too. You needed to be -- varied with your height of course
