Wrapping up Summer with a series of great events in the hottest month of the year!
Unity Tour w/ 311 – August 6th – Gexa Energy Pavillion – Dallas, TX
Spending a hot August night in Dallas with 311 has become an annual tradition that I look forward to every Summer.
Ever since our paths crossed back in NYC in 2010 when I heard bassist P-Nut was a Ween fanatic and I invited him and his management out to see them in LA which in turn they invited us to their show and have continued to do so every Summer they’ve been on the road ever since to which we owe P-Nut, Peter Raspler & the gang for their seemingly unlimited hospitality.
Normally I would have my oldest friend Chris in tow but the show fell on the same weekend as his wedding anniversary, so I trekked out their solo but knew I would run into a few people, some certainly more unexpected than others.
Last two summers they have come through have been indoors so this was great to be outside and catch that summer vibe they are so good at, but man it was HOT.
Show was a bit shorter than usual and relied mainly only their most familiar material which I can understand is ideal for an outdoor summer show whereas last year’s indoor show focused on more of the deeper cuts. Great show as always.
