WIDESPREAD CELEBRATION / RED ROCKS in the RAIN

As you can see, Widespread Panic's return to Red Rocks after the pandemic was an oft-drenched affair, but everyone was "havin' a good time" nevertheless!

 

 

Widespread's official photographer, Josh Timmermans, took the upper shot during the "Chilly Water" encore on the first night.  Lower picture is me and my good buddy, Jay, enjoying the soaking wet extravaganza.  It occurred to me afterwards that it's been a long time since I've seen 10,000 people smiling.
