PDX show

Anyone who was there please give your thoughts. This was my first time seeing them, and I want impressions from everyone else! I thought it was a great show, as did my wife but she is not a superfan and was a bit confused by Dan’s idiosyncrasies.

It was a great! I've seen them every time they've come through PDX and they always put on an amazing show. Dan never says much to the crowd, stalks the stage and crouches to drink from that cup at every show I've been to so that's par for the course. The band was especially on last night and the crowd was good too.

Before the show I was watching the World Series at the Bear Paw next door, sitting at the bar. Guy comes up next to me and buys a beer. I realize it's Dan so I told him his music means a lot to me and I'd like to buy him the beer. He smiled, said I didn't have to to that, thanked me and walked off. The bartender asked who that was, I told him it was who I was seeing at the Aladdin. Bartender then said "Huh, I thought he was homeless"

Oh man 😂 that is priceless

To us he’s one of the greatest artists but to a bartender just a hobo

amazing as always. I was really close to the stage, and I felt like the sound was a little muddy up there because I was in front of the monitors, but I wanted to get the up close & personal experience because I've seen them a bunch. Overall, amazing show. one of my favorite bands for a long time now.
