Podcast appearances and mentions of gorge amphitheater

LAST HURRAH OF SUMMER 2024!!! Wow, summer always ends too soon, but with the end of summer tour, comes the last few posters and the grand finale of DMB shows at The Gorge Amphitheater for Labor "Dave" Weekend. Join Mike and Erica as they casually (and maybe chaotically) chat about the last few shows of the Dave Matthews Band 2024 summer tour. We chat briefly about the incredible collab by Todd Slater and Ben Kwok from Fiddler's Green in Colorado, the new artist Kathleen Neeley from Bend, Oregon... and what's speculating for the amazing Gorge weekend. Are you headed to Labor Dave Weekend? What are you hoping to see for posters this weekend?

This is a good one! For this episode I have chosen Jimmy Page & Robert Plant on the last night of their huge Unledded US tour. May 27, 1995 at The Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington. This is a great venue known for it's beauty, not unlike Red Rocks in Colorado. Page/Plant end their tour on a high note with tight performances in a 3rd Eye recording of insanely great quality (Millard level). I play an epic Shake My Tree sung with conviction by Robert, a Dancing Days for the ages, and Calling to You. All of these performances are out of this world and will make you glad you heard them.

Transcript included below…I took my car in for an oil change recently, and as I suspected, the brakes had worn down to where it was time to talk about replacing them.The guy at the counter said they were at 3 millimeters, which is dangerously close to being gone.  After a quick phone call to my wife about the timing of having the brakes replaced, I told the guy at the shop, “My wife and I have decided that it would be good for us to be able to stop.”Out of nowhere, a very clever bystander quipped, “Well, you're gonna stop…it's just a question of how and when.”Very true.I definitely think it's better to be able to have some control over stopping my vehicle, rather than the alternative.You may be a musician or worship guitarist who plays music full time.  You may enjoy music as a hobby. But if you've ever tasted burnout in any aspect of your life you know that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”  Sometimes it can be exhilarating to skirt the edge of burnout with all the things we're trying to tackle, but there can be a mental and physical toll on us of we push ourselves too hard.And then we crash.Whatever your musical posture and skill set, I've got a few ideas to share with you today along the theme of rest.Let me ask you a rhetorical question.  Are rests a part of music?  Absolutely.   Whether we play from actual notation, or just charts with words and chords, a well-written song will have moments where some musicians play less or not at all at times. If you want a clear indicator of the importance of rests in songs with lyrics, think about what a 4-minute song would sound like with non-stop vocals.  I mean literally, a voice singing throughout the entire song without taking a single breath.  With a little studio digital magic, this is actually one of many things that are possible.  But our ears need breaks where the vocalist stops singing, if only for a moment, as the band takes over.Ears can get fatigued as well.  More on that in a bit. Guitar may be the undercurrent of a song, especially if it's strummed rhythm guitar, but even if we drill down into a strumming groove, we typically find that the pick isn't grazing the strings every time it passes over them.Ergo, there are even rests in strumming patterns.As I talk about in GuitarSuccess4U, there are an infinite number of strumming patterns, due to the characteristics of when we are not making contact with the strings.And in terms of the bigger picture of our daily rhythm, perhaps there are times when we pause from our guitar playing as well.  What does that look like, and how does it help us to resume with greater focus, passion and momentum?Now as I mentioned in Guitar Through the Seasons, Guitar Serious Fun Episode 17 and Episode 18, there will be times in our lives when we set down our guitars.But what about incorporating rest as a part of our routine?Here are a few thoughts.1. Good sleep helps us play better.If you've ever pulled an all-nighter or two with studying for an exam, you know that in the short-term, sleep can be postponed.  But it can't be eliminated.Having multiple gigs in a row, or a very late night can be doable, but it's not sustainable.  Getting good rest, especially when a musician is on the road, is essential.Younger folks tend to want to stay out late, push the limits, and think about their choices later.  I've played late night song sets, and closing sets at festivals.  These sets have been 10 p.m. or even as late as midnight, to ring in the New Year.They can be super fun, especially since they can draw a crowd of fans that is just getting their evening started at that point.  One of our members in GuitarSuccess4U went to a multi-day bluegrass festival where folks were informally jamming until 5 a.m.For the festival, that's fine.  As a habit, eventually there will be a price to pay, and that includes compromising our health and our concentration…to say nothing of what sleep deprivation does to someone's singing voice.And in terms of safety, I know people personally, (including musicians) who have been so tired that they've fallen asleep at the wheel and experienced a rather intense “wakeup call” when they've driven off the road.Caffeine can help, but when it comes to rhythms of rest for our recovery, there's no substitute for literal rest in the form of sleep.2. Taking breaks preserves our muscles.If you've ever played a really long concert set, practiced for multiple hours straight, or tried to get the most out of a block of studio time, you could be overdoing it with your hands and voice.The intricate muscles of our hands and vocal cords are fearfully and wonderfully made by our Heavenly Father, but they have also been entrusted to us for the long game.  I've met folks who have sustained injuries like chronic vocal fatigue, carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive strain injury.  They have regretted how aggressive they've been with their bodies, and in retrospect, they wish they had heeded the early warning signs of injuries they're now recovering from.I certainly don't want to be negative, but I do want to be realistic.  If we don't build in regular intervals in our routines to rest and not play or sing, we could overdo it.But there's something also to be said for warming up and stretching. As I talked about in Guitar Serious Fun Episode 34, “Can Practicing the Guitar Be Harmful?”, There was a season early on in my career where I played so much guitar that I overdid it.  How did I know?  I was unable to pick up my firstborn infant daughter without experiencing shooting pain through my wrists.Fortunately, these were early warning signs that I was on my way to injuring myself…I had not yet permanently done so. So, what did I do at this point?  Well, I read multiple books on carpal tunnel syndrome prevention, as well as the prevention of repetitive strain injury.  These books are written for people who do things repetitively like painting, assembling things in an assembly line or pulling espresso shots.But more importantly than these books, I sought the counsel of a very gifted physical therapist who was able to observe my posture, down to the angles of my wrists as I played my guitar.  He was able to diagnose the problem.But beyond this, he prescribed three very specific stretches that have been absolute game-changers for me.  Not only do I use these before I practice; they have prevented further injury and pain for over a decade and a half.I have taken intentional steps inside the early lessons of GuitarSuccess4U to demonstrate and teach all three of these stretches, and my members have benefitted tremendously from them.  I will say that everyone's physical limits are different; some folks come with previously existing injuries, so I always caution everyone who tries these stretches out, to take them slowly and listen to their bodies.But if we are playing demanding passages of music on our guitars, especially acoustic guitars with steel strings, and we feel our fretting hand forearm getting warm, that's a sort of caution light.  So, it's important to take breaks, but also to stretch and warm up (or even warm down) around our practice, performing, worship leading or studio time.  Rhythms of rest are found in these avenues as well.3. Building in margin keeps us balanced.Younger kids get recess during school.  Adults get coffee breaks at work.  We all need breaks.When it comes to the recording studio, typically time is blocked out in hours.  But here's the thing; unless we're able to take a few breaks during our recording sessions, we can overdo it, especially if we're “on the clock,” and we're the ones paying for the time.Some of my most relaxed recording studio sessions have been shorter, like less than two hours, because I came well-prepared and didn't have to play a segment over and over.  I was able to avoid repetitive strain injury because of this.So here's some wisdom: don't let the studio be your experimental space where you're creatively coming up with new ways of playing your song on the guitar. Sure, there may be slight spontaneous variations, but if someone is exerting their hands on a piece over and over and trying to mentally grasp what they want from the song, and they don't have a clear idea, and it leads to hours of playing the same thing over and over, it can be a recipe for fatigue.Having a game plan, and an end of session time marking can be good.  It sets an expectation that we come prepared and – wait for it – we stop, even if we haven't gotten the takes we want.There's no shame in coming back later to do a better take.  There is a problem with playing for many hours, hoping to get it right, even as focus and strength are waning.A much lower pressure environment is the practice space.  We can assign ourselves a practice regimen that stays limited to 30 or maybe 60 minutes.  Anything more than 60 minutes of guitar playing needs to be followed by an intentional break.Trust me – your mind, hands and ears will appreciate the margin.As for the concert or the worship service, typically your hands will get breaks when other musicians play, or you tell a story, or there are other components of the service like the sermon, etc.  Unless you paint yourself into a corner with a 4-hour concert, you'll be fine.The only 4-hour set I did that I can remember was a farmer's market, but what I was able to do was alternate between guitar, keyboard and hammered dulcimer, and I made sure that the songs I was playing were not too demanding. I also had the option to stop for a few moments between songs to grab a sip of water, or greet friends who had come to the market.  It was a pretty low-key venue.Even when I've heard performers do longer concerts, whether at a coffee shop or a grandstand, they've taken breaks.  With a coffee shop venue, it's almost expected; the proprietors want the artist to stop and let the people queue up for beverages and refreshments.  It adds to their profit for the evening.We have a venue here in Washington State called the Gorge Amphitheater, right on the Columbia River.  It accommodates about 19,000 people.  I remember attending a sold-out concert there performed by James Taylor in 2003.  The show was almost three hours long.Halfway through the concert, James said with a twinkle in his eye, “We're going to go backstage and…think about what we've done.”  That was his way of saying he and his bandmates needed a break.Where were 19,000 people going to go during James Taylor's break? The answer is: nowhere. We just sat in our seats, some of us stood up and stretched, chatted with our neighbors, and we took about 20-30 minutes to give James the margin he needed so that he could come back and give us a great closing set.So, a rhythm of rest in taking breaks that lead to margin in any venue helps us find that balance that allows for our best musical offerings.4. Time away from music keeps our ears fresh.My parents gave my eldest daughter a t-shirt for her 16th birthday that said, “A day without music is like…just kidding – I have no idea.”She has such a deep love for music of many styles, eras and genres that it's rare to witness her not listening to music.  And that's ok.But studio engineers will tell you that they need time away from an audio project to keep their ears from playing tricks on themselves.  They literally build in time away from their studio, not listening to music, or at least not listening to the music they're mixing, so that they can get the right mix in the end.One of my dear friends and collaborators is a studio engineer, and he has literally told me that if he spends too much time mixing a project without a break, he'll have to go back and start over, because he'll experience what he calls “ear fatigue.”So even a rhythm of rest when it comes to listening can be important to consider.Wrap-upAs we wind down today, I'm hoping you'll take away from our discussion that it's not just about rest.   It's about a rhythm of rest.  Where we work, and then we relax.  We play, and then we rest.  We pursue another aspect of a project, and then we sleep. Rhythm is all around us.  It's in our heartbeats, our breathing, and our footsteps.  The conversations we have with others, whether verbal or musical, have a sort of rhythm that involves exchanging ideas and thoughts.  We alternate listening with speaking, or listening with playing.Why should our music and our resting be any different?  So, whether you're thinking it would be important to get good sleep, take breaks, build in margin, or even take time away from music, these thoughts could be good medicine for your long-game success.The Lord set a beautiful example for us when He rested on the seventh day.  Although the Lord's Day is typically a day when I'm serving with music, I do try to build in a day of margin on the weekend so that I, too can have rest.But the beautiful result of building in the rest we need as musicians is this: when we get back to work, we are refreshed, more focused, and ready to make great music again.I also find that I think more clearly and creatively when I've had good rest.  And clarity and creativity are essential to my work.  Even the words I'm stringing together for this episode require tremendous focus and creativity, which I love to pour out…but only when I'm well rested.Well, I hope today's discussion gave you some good insights and provided the opportunity to reflect and perhaps strategize about your rhythms of rest.  If you have thoughts on what I've shared here, please comment.Also, feel free to share today's episode of Guitar Serious Fun with someone you know.  We're working to make these episodes available to more listeners and readers, because we think they could enrich the lives of a lot of Christian guitarists.Lastly, if you don't have a guitar teacher and you're looking for a game-changing learning experience for your next season of guitar playing, take a moment to explore GuitarSuccess4U.com. Talk about intentional rhythms that allow for rest.  Our six stage Success Path, the sequence of weekly lessons each month, the carefully timed guest expert interviews…they are all laid out in a clear, intentional rhythm that allows for plenty of rest and refreshment.GuitarSuccess4U could be the rhythm you need in this season of your guitar journey.So, get some rest, take some breaks, build some margin, and take a little time away.  And watch how refreshed you become when you get back to the music you love to play.Thanks for experiencing my thoughts here at Guitar Serious Fun.

Music lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike have a wealth of options when it comes to hearing music live and outdoors. Portland concertgoers can make a four-and-a-half hour drive to dance to sweet tunes as the sun sets behind a gorge. There's also the option 30 minutes away to sit out on a lawn with friends as big artists rock out. Either way, making it to an outdoor show is a must every summer for many people. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we chat about a few of the many outdoor concert venues in the region. Here are some highlights from this week's show: McMenamins Edgefield brings big name acts to a Troutdale lawn where concertgoers can sit back and relax, without traveling too far from Portland. McMenamins Grand Lodge is a new concert venue, similar to a smaller version of Edgefield with unbeatable sunsets. Portland venues to enjoy without leaving the city. The Gorge Amphitheater is one of the most breathtaking spots to enjoy live music and worth the longer drive. Wear your sunscreen. And other tips and tricks to a successful concert experience outside.

Dave Faber is a Christian, a husband and a father of 4. He grew up in the back of mountainous Mission, BC with 6 siblings, his mom (Shirley) and dad (Fred). At the age of 15 his dad bought him a Ludwig drum set on the promise that he would practice everyday and would only play Christian music. That $1,000 drum set was a big deal coming from a low income household in the early 90's. So, Dave did his best to stick with his promise. When Dave turned 16 he was ready to do anything to start a band so he cold called his buddy from elementary school Colin Friesen. Colin told Dave that he already had his cousin Nate playing drums. Dave immediately said, “Is there any openings in the band? I just want to be in a band!” Colin's response was, “We need a singer.” And that is how Dave started singing, writing, and performing live. The band with Dave, Colin Friesen, Nathan Rempel and Jared Bulat (called “Toadl Jids”) gigged for a few years but broke up soon after their 2nd album. Being the extremely talented musician that Colin Friesen was (and is), Dave continued to Jam with him but Colin was such an amazing drummer that he became Dave's drummer for Dave's second band “SEED”. SEED won several battle of the bands, recorded 2 full length cd's and played many live shows including the Gorge Amphitheater for Creationfest. By the time marriages and children started to intertwine with band life the band fell apart. However, Dave still wasn't finished. Using the break up as “fuel for the fire”, Dave hunted down Nickelbacks producer Joey Moi, who, at that time, produced the biggest song in the world, “This Is How You Remind Me”. Dave started working with Joey and they started recording Faber Drives 1st album "Seven Second Surgery". Dave hand picked the band, which, included drummer Ray “Red” Bull (Dave's 17 year old brother inlaw), Dave Hinsley and Jeremy “Krikit” Liddle. The band started touring relentlessly and opening for bands like Simple Plan, Sum 41 and Nickelback Faber Drive has had Gold and Platinum singles (When I'm With You, Tongue Tied, Get Up and Dance) as well as 2 Juno nominations and is still releasing music. Isaiah Faber (Daves first born) was born in 1999 and started jamming with his dad on his first cheap plastic drumset at the age of 2 in their family living room. It's important to mention that they didn't have a TV in their basement suite for the 1st 10 years of Isaiah's life. Isaiah went on to play drums for another 12 years and then slowly transitioned to lots of songwriting and beatmaking. Eventually, he surpassed his dad with his project “ Powfu ”. Powfu's worldwide smash “death bed” has now gone Platinum in 25 countries and accumulated over 3 Billion combined streams. Dave is Powfu's manager. Dave has 3 other children, Patience Faber, Faith Faber and (David) Dayton Faber. Patience has a project called “Sleeping”. Sleeping has been featured on many Powfu songs as well as some Faber Drive songs. Dave also manages Sleeping. Faith Faber has just graduated high school with “honor roll” grades and loves to cook/bake. Dayton Faber is a Pool playing hustler and also loves to fingerboard. Dave's wife Ricarda has been nothing short of an amazing wife, mother and friend. Ricarda decorates weddings and has been a massive reason why the Faber's have had such an amazing life. Raising their family in a Christian household with Christian values has kept their family together even through the craziest storms. John 3:16 Dave still loves to write, produce and release music with his children whenever he can.

After a year of absolute nonsense, with the exception of a few profound conversations with each other and others about anything and everything, the boys are just now realizing that they should be more specific about what this podcast is even meant to represent. "How Goods This" is a simple phrase that's pretty easy to understand, but until now, we haven't really uncovered "what's good?" So, as they move forward with the same non-scripted, ridiculously honest, funny but never fact-checked talks, they'll be bringing some positive news segments to the mix. Every episode will surround a couple/few pieces of "good news" whether personal or out in the world that the boys can anchor their conversations with. It'll keep them on track, give you something to rely on every week, and bring forth an approach to add more joy into your life each Monday. This week, Allen talks about his experience playing at The Gorge Amphitheater with Dave Matthews on Labor Day weekend. How two of Daves band mates got Covid-19 and how they pivoted like pros and pulled off an exceptional show despite it all. A girl who just earned $20k for listing a uniquely puffed Dorito on Ebay, the partnership Advanced Auto Parts made with the Denver Police, and Quentin Quarantino: an internet meme'r turned social justice warrior. And that's just the beginning. The boys deep dive as usual and share their own experiences through it all. Proud sponsors of Ladder Coffee.

Good Morning it's Tuesday June 1st and this is Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.    Today - After one of the driest springs on record the state Department of Ecology has issued a drought advisory. But what does this mean for wildfires?   Today's episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success. Learn more at Equilusfinancial.com. Member SIPC and FINRA.   --   Now our feature story…    The state Department of Ecology is warning of a possible drought for all of Eastern Washington.   The department issued a drought advisory on Thursday.   Why? They have growing concerns for farmers and ranchers in Eastern Washington.   With little rainfall in the past few months conditions have grown worse.   In fact, March through April was the fourth driest early spring period in Washington state since 1895.    And ZERO precipitation was recorded in the Tri-Cities in April. March had just 0.12 of an inch   Unfortunately, May is not looking much better with 0.19 inch. This is well below normal precipitation for May.   Jeff Marti, Ecology's water resources planner, said there are reports of crop stress and reduced yields. He's heard anecdotal accounts of problems from wheat farmers and hay producers already.   But, Tri-Cities area residents and farmers who use Kennewick Irrigation District water appear to be in good shape, at least for now.   K.I.D depends on snowpack in the Eastern Cascades and up-river reservoirs to fill the Yakima River.   And as of May it seems like the water supply for the Yakima Basin should be adequate to meet water rights.   That's despite March and April precipitation at the Yakima Project's reservoirs at only 40% of average.   Chuck Garner, Yakima Project River Operations supervisor for the Bureau of Reclamation noted that the basin snowpack is holding up well and remains above normal in spite of the low precipitation and the reservoirs have near normal storage.   However, in the Walla Walla and Snake watersheds, early snowmelt is leaving less than average levels. In part because April temperatures were higher than normal.   So the outlook for the wildfire season is mixed.   Chief Mike Harris of Franklin County Fire District 3 said it's already rated as “moderate” for the greater Tri-Cities area - far earlier than usual.   But there is one silver lining - the dry spring has limited the fuel available to feed wildfires. Annual grasses like cheatgrass are not as tall and thick as they would be in a wetter spring. So that could reduce the intensity of wildfires.   Stay safe, and stay up to date on the conditions at wenatcheeworld.com   -   Here's what else you need to know about today…   Central Washington Hospital was pushed to its absolute limit recently after experiencing a surge of hospitalizations. But they were not related to COVID-19.   According to Andrew Canning, spokesperson for Confluence Health - during this critical moment, capacity hit 98% with beds available only in pediatrics, the labor delivery unit, and the mother baby unit.   Seven people ended up having to wait to be admitted into the hospital's emergency department.   Canning also said that medical facilities in the state and North Central Washington region are also close to full, partially due to COVID-19, but largely because of other chronic medical conditions requiring attention like cancer, heart disease, stroke and infections.   The region has very little surge capacity for patients.   As of May 27, about 70% of staffed acute care beds were being occupied by patients in North Central Washington. And around 84% of acute care beds across the state were occupied by patients.   So what does this mean?   Well, according to the “Healthy Washington” COVID-19 reopening plan, the state would begin to rollback phases if the statewide ICU capacity ever reached 90%.    And in North Central Washington, about 89% of ICU beds were occupied. Canning emphasized that we're on a good, downward path, but we are not quite out of the woods yet.   He also said that Central Washington Hospital continues to see severe cases of COVID-19. It's important to note that more than 97% of these severe COVID-19 hospital admissions came from unvaccinated individuals.   So what can you do to help? The Chelan-Douglas Health District is asking that the community be cautious. Stay safe and healthy to help give local health providers a break.   - Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health.

The announcement came after negotiations with a prospective buyer.   For now, no other details are available. The company originally set June 1 as a final operating date, but that's no longer the case.   Normal operations at Liberty Orchards will remain in place until the negotiations with this prospective buyer are finished. So you can still visit the candy factory and even take a tour!   Three years ago Liberty Orchards President Greg Taylor put the company up for sale.    It was decided at that time that if they couldn't sell the business, they would ultimately close it. And in March, Taylor said they hadn't been able to find a buyer and the time had come to close shop.   So this is certainly an unexpected turn of events - but we're excited for it!   The company was founded in 1920 by Armenian immigrants Mark Balaban and Armen Tertsagian, who owned a small orchard and developed the Aplets & Cotlets candies which became the staples of the company.   To stay up to date on what's going on at Liberty Orchards visit us at wenatcheeworld.com   The Gorge Amphitheater is an hour outside of Wenatchee. It was originally owned and operated by Dr. Vincent Bryan and Carol Bryan, along with the adjoining winery, Champs de Brionne, for which it was named.    It opened in 1986 and seated 3,000 people, but was later expanded after MCA purchased the venue in 1993. Later, The Gorge Amphitheater was acquired by Live Nation.   The venue has majestic views of the Columbia River.    Apart from drawing big name performers, The Gorge has also played host to an array of popular music festivals, like Area Festival, Creation Festival, Dave Matthews Band Caravan, Honda Civic Tour, Identity Festival, and much more.   Brooks & Dunn's "Only in America" video was also filmed here in 2001.   -   Thanks for listening.

The ninth installment of the live music podcast brings in one of my favorite bands of all time, the Dave Matthews Band. For a live music lover this band truly caters to you. They have been touring yearly since the early 90s and always bring an A+ performance to each show. In Episode 8 I mentioned that this would be a special edition and the reason for that is that I am playing songs from 3 concerts instead of the usual. Since 2000 DMB has been playing a 3 night set at the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington state. The Gorge is truly one of the DMB holy sites (including Red Rocks) that die hard Dave fans will travel hundreds of miles to go watch them play. Dave and the boys always give the fans an extra special performance when they play there. Not only do the biggest fans attend this show but also some of the best tapers. I have heard enough great Mike Vernal recordings that I keep an eye out for his name in the set details. Once again he delivers a spot on recording almost equal to the officially release Live at the Gorge CD that was from their 2002 tour.
