Bob Weir and Wolf Brothers with the Wolf Pack at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, CA on July 24, 2021

Going back to the Greek in Berkeley after so many years (actually decades) was a remarkable treat. The flashback floodgate was wide open from the first moment on the sidewalk out front waiting for the doors to open. Running into old friends, as well as making new ones, brought back one particular memory from the 80s of being “miracled” by some super cool passerby without even asking to a very sold-out Dead show at that exact same place on the sidewalk. Then there was that time when asked by UCB campus police what was in the brownies I was selling on the sidewalk. They still declined purchasing any even after telling them only chocolate, sugar, and love.

90's alternative rock band Collective Soul has become one of my favorite touring bands to see, hear, and photograph. The energy that they bring to the stage is contagious and it's very obvious that this band truly enjoys performing! This was my third time covering them in the last couple of years and each time has had the excitement of the very first time I saw them many years ago.

This particular show was the inaugural offering for what looked to be a promising concert series at  Busch Gardens' Food and Wine Festival.

The evening was very chilly for this time of year in Florida but that didn't stop thousands of fans from cramming into the outdoor venue to rock out with the band.

When Joe Bonamassa has a guitar in his hands, it's like an extension of his body. His smooth playing sounds so perfect it is like it is coming out of a machine.
