No opener, and two full sets were thoroughly absorbed by fans. The lawn of Treehouse Brewing in South Deerfield, Massachusetts was sold out. Folks were enjoying offerings from local food trucks and beer brewed on the premises. There were rows and rows of seats on the back lawn and most importantly plenty of dancing space.
The band brought their usual heat as on year 25 they are dialed in as ever. But I do have to make mention as a visual gal I did notice that the show got exponentially better as it got dark and the full fury of Andrew Lincoln the band’s lighting designer took command of the stage. Greensky shows become a full body experience. Sonically satisfying, visually impeccable and there is no way to just be still. If you aren’t getting down or at least in a full tilt sway… You’re just not present.
