This was my fourth year making the epic pilgrimage to the Gorge Amphitheater in George, WA for a weekend of camping and Dave Matthews Band concerts and this year certainly did not disappoint. Unlike past years, this concert series was a festival style event with about 20 other awesome bands and musicians in attendance. Of these 20 or so bands that joined Dave Matthews for the caravan, one in particular stood out for me... DISPATCH. Dispatch is a household name in New England where I am from but outside of that area of the country they have more of a cult following. They are best known for their "last" concert in Boston which was a free concert were they expected about 25,000 people to show up but wound up practically shutting down Boston with over 110,000 fans in attendance. After a 7 year hiatus, they got back together and started touring this year as part of the DMB Caravan. Between the great music from Dave Matthews, Dispatch, John Butler Trio and others, beautiful scenery, great food and even better friends, it was a truly unforgettable weekend.
