Summer Free Concert Series Kick-Off

The WailersSummer has officially begun here in the NW corner of Colorado and the Wailers were here to help us celebrate. Anyone familiar with the summer concerts knows that we can be in the middle of a drought, yet it will rain on the day of the free concert. This was definately not the case today. The day was hot and sunny. Perfect for some reggae from Jamaica. So here is my take on the show. I didn’t get a warm fuzzy from the band. They just didn’t seem into it. In fact, a couple of the members actually looked bored. Take my criticism with a grain of salt – I am not a huge Wailers fan. Having said that I would like to add that the crowd was fun and the sound was great.

Here’s a short list of the crap that was basically fucked up:

  • Due to a filing error there was no alcohol.
  • Whoever the announcer was, you must go away. Annoying is an understatement. Proof to come soon.
  • Whoever the camera dude was – you are an asshole. You physically pushed me out of the way to film some dancing chicks. Then as you were leaving you nearly took out the taping rig. Since you were carrying around an expensive piece of equipment I would think that you would have some respect for other expensive equipment. An apology would be nice.

All in all I did enjoy myself. It was fucking free, right?
