I woke up, loaded the car and took off for Portland. Given it was a holiday weekend traffic was a problem but made it to the motel I was renting, dropped off my things and organized the gear for the show. Since I was in Maine I picked up 2 lobster rolls, ate one and drove up to the venue. I met some folks I knew on line and waited for doors to open. Another easy one to navigate but then had to set up the gear. This venue was basically an outdoor field on the end of some land surrounded by water. The only place to set up the gear was in a port a pottie but one has to do what one has to do. It was a late arriving crowd so when Jessy Wilson came on stage there was no one around me. Over the set more people arrived so it wasn't too obvious. This was the best set she did on the run of shows in my opinion. The vibe of the crowd and the environment really helped. The sound was great and the temperature was comfortable. By the time Trombone Shhorty came on the crowd had filled in but wasn't uncomfortable. Their set was one of the best too. High energy and the crowd was really into it. The energy that was lacking in Boston up front was back as it was GA and the real fans made to the front. I was completely solo but ran into a couple who I chatted with between sets and they recommended a local donut place where the donuts were made from potatoes that I had to stop at in the morning. By the time Ben Harper started they had moved on and I was by myself in my zone. The Ben Harper set was high energy and fun. While the setlist was pretty much the same, everything was played well and the crowd was into it. The finale was Glory and Consequence and this time it was planned and played to perfection. After the show I knew I had to go to Tanglewood the next night. My original plan was to do tourist stuff in Maine and eat lobster but Maine was packed with tourists and I wanted one more show. I got back to the motel, picked up some food and passed out. Needed to get sleep since I had a 4 1/2 hour drive and was going to do 6 shows in 7 nights.
