I met up with Floyd in Glenwood Springs, and we drove together to Snowmass. We stopped and ate at a El Pollo Rico in Carbondale. I ordered the green chile relleo and corn tamale. I noticed many of the all native Spanish Speakers who were eating at El Pollo Rico ordered the roast chicken. Floyd and I arrived in Snowmass and were directed to the $10 upper lot. We caught a shuttle to the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Festival. I left my camera in my truck (stupid move). We walked into the festival and set-up in an area that off the left of the stage. Floyd went and purchased two beers and then not too much later Ziggy Marley opened up at 5:00. Ziggy Marley played his own and his father's music and I found his song, "Love is my religion" to be new to me and one I appreciated. After Ziggy Marley finished playing, I went and got two margaritas.
Bob Dylan and his band came out around 7:00 and after about three songs, Floyd and I packed up and left for a different vantage point to enjoy Dylan. Concert goers vary at different venues. The trappings of wealth were obvious at this concert and the group next to us were ignoring the concert to network and snark about who gives a shit. Floyd and I ended up to the right of the central control booth where we could see Bob Dylan better and the crowd were dancing and connecting to the music and being present with this opportunity for Dylan's classics and modern music.
After the concert, Floyd and I caught the shuttle back to my truck. We then drove to Glenwood Spring to our hotel, Hotel Colorado. Our rooms were on the second floor, past the Roosevelt Suite. The accommodations are historic and I recommend staying there in the later fall or winter as our room did not have air conditioning. Floyd and I went to the beautiful bar with the marble bar top. I drank two vodka tonics and then went to sleep in my bed.
