Yoho, Scooter, Ben, and I heard Grace Potter at the Denver Botanic Gardens tonight. The show and evening together were excellent. Grace belted out the jams like only she can do. At 43 it is amazing how strong her voice, stunning her beauty, and vibrant her songs continue to be. I've been a fan she was a teen fronting the Nocturnals... she's a multi-instrumentalist with a rock & blues voice for the ages. What a show!
Yeah, we were photo-bombed by a woman behind. Jim was "tarp runner" and queued early for our spot in the front of stage ~ thanks buddy. Ben was late on a sushi & tart run ~ thanks Ben. Scott & I ran up in the FlyBox in short stead. We wandered a bit to find parking when the garage was full but found a great workaround in the end. We parked free on the street across from Cheeseman Park and came in the back gate of the Gardens; there was no queue at all. It's open for concert events... this is a great dodge to use in the future.
We had a great plan for the show. Three bottles of wine and a 4 course meal to accompany. We had an Edgar blend, La Guera, with salmon & brie appys and jalepeno jam appys; we had a Willamette pinot noir with cheese & crackers and fruit; we had a '21 Faust cab with sushi; we had individual tarts. We had a nice view of artists from stage right row 3.
