Saw this article on the Bay Harbor fest held Saturday, but the comments greatly contradict how the reporter says the festival went. Anyone here go? One thing which really surprised me was a $10.00 re-admission fee!
Never heard of charging extra to come back in to a festival! 😮

Thanks for the link, but I can't view the comments. Did you go? Who played? What's the controversy?

So I'm confused --- Did Gregg show or not?

2 of the comments copied and pasted from the comments section of the link provided...

""highmarks, schedule a little off", who ever wrote this was obviuosly not there! I think they need a promoter, it was more than just the music schedule,, waisted VIP space & $ 10 extra to re-enter, could have been so much better!'

'It was rough waiting 3 hours past the last start time...did not start until after 10:30 pm. Glad we waited it out but pretty tired people who remember Greg from the early 70's....old folks !!"

Not sure why no one else can see the same?

That was kind of my point --- 1/2 the commentary made it sound like Greg never showed while the other 1/2 said he just went on late... thus my question: did Gregg actually play the gig?

I'm surmising from "glad we waited it out", he did in fact play.

Is charging a fee to get back in after you've purchased a ticket common practice these days?

Kinda sounds like ol' Gregg took a left turn on the wagon. Anyone to defend?

Nothing in those performance videos leads me to think Gregg fell off the wagon. Based on the article, and the newer comments, Gregg showed and performed. Outdoor concerts in the Summer get rained on.

Too bad.

I will echo the sentiments of Billy... zero indication Gregg has fallen off the wagon, here. It's irresponsible to make a judgment like that if you don't know the performer. The videos show a typical Gregg approach, to the songs he wrote, with his solo band. The review on Dickey's site is so off and slanted, it's not funny.
