G. Love tour diary - Flying High

Well, I'm flying high, flying home. Wait, I'm not going home yet, I'm going to Chicago, but, I finished my big summer tour. We ended with a bang, too. A sick show at Red Rocks followed by the perfect afternoon at the Blues and Brews fest in Telluride, Co. 

I woke up the other morning at Red Rocks and I could hear the rain pounding on the bus. What a bummer. But sure enough, the day went on and the skies cleared and by show time the rain was gone. The waxing moon shone full in the skies for a crisp clean Colorado night at one of the world’s finest venues. 

The show was all good and I was happy to have done better than the year before. I feel like now its just gonna be more and more enjoyable and inspirational to rock a venue like that. I can't tell you what its like to get up there - crazy!

After the RR hit, we high tailed it for Telluride and had a sweet afternoon set between JBT and Gov't Mule. What a vibe. After the show, I had pleasure of kicking it with some solid crew. Slightly Stoopid's manager John "the Pelican" Phillips, JBT, Big Sam and the beautiful Daryl Hannah and Co. who live up there in the high mesa.

We went up to Ms. Hannah’s ranch after the show and kicked it all night underneath the Colorado stars with the moon shining bright. We could hear Elk baying in the valley and the snow capped mountains shone clearly on the horizon, and I'm thinking, "Yo, this ain’t Philly." It was the perfect tour end celebration. The wine was flowing like music.

Thanks for a great summer. To everyone who came out to the shows, big ups!   

Peace!
