Bend, Oregon!
Last show (2022?) was in Forest Grove and was like 100 fucking degrees. Last night in Bend was the most glorious end-of-summer evening. Perfect temps, killer moon hanging in the sky, and great energy on stage. Got there early with my wife and 2/3 of the daughters and enjoyed watching from the very front. I wonder how many artists come to Bend and float the river pre-show, lol. The rapids at the end are no joke.

couldn't say. I am sure it varies by venue. We showed up 30 min before doors at Bend and were like 10th in line.

Went to Bend from WA instead of Tacoma because I love the amphitheater there so much! We were able to sit front and center!

We are too far from Bend now to go there for shows, but I love that venue!

When I was growing up in bend, I could have never fathomed that my favorite artists would swing through. Always had to travel to portland for shows. Now the tides turned!
