Concert Review: Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and John Mellencamp

I don’t remember a lot of it but here are my notes, man

NOTE: This concert review was originally published September 18, 2024 at The Buffalo Hive where I serve as Managing Editor.

I attended the Outlaw Music Festival at the Darien Lake Amphitheater on Tuesday (September 17, 2024). It was a beautiful, late summer afternoon as our party approached the Genesee River Basin Watershed.

We drove east from Buffalo under puffy clouds and azure skies which gave way to cool evening breezes under a bright harvest moon.

Southern Avenue took the stage at 5:00PM while I was talking with a group of bikers in the parking lot. We were discussing the sublime beauty of the Durango Silverton Railroad when it occurred to me that they were not actually smoking Marlboro Lights like they said they were.

What follows are excerpts from my concert notes because things are a little hazy this morning. I add clarification where possible.
