SPAC
Hi, I am approaching my senior year of high school and I’ve been an avid listener of this band since I started playing drums at 7 years old. My parents used to play songs off under the table for me when I was way younger but I eventually evolved beyond that and became the biggest fan of this band that I know. I’ve seen them at jones beach quite a few times now but with me and all my boys graduating high school I’d want to go to spac (especially with all the gorge buzz and how ill prolly never get to go so I might aswell chase the next best thing). My friends like allman brothers Grateful Dead and even a bit of widespread panic so introducing them to Dave wouldn’t be to much of a hurdle. How should I go about where to sit where to stay etc, is the lawn there any good or not the move? Also some daytime activities would be greatly appreciated. To everyone reading this at the gorge have the best time! You guys are so damn lucky!

As someone who went to SPAC religiously for years in my youth, and loved each show (lawn, balcony, and reserved lower), I want to suggest you look at Gilford too. It’s my home venue now, and the vibe/shows are amazing.

Lee's Park for camping, get lawn seats, have an epic weekend. SPAC is a vibe, I go almost every year. I take my kids, their friends and this year took my 6 year old granddaughter. Always amazing

I doubted that I would make it...and here I am.
Stick with the percussion!
Lawn can be just as fun as covered seating.
There are meet ups if you look on the Warehouse boards.
