@ElGranJustino Look in the bottom right of the post and you'll see up/down arrows. Hit up!

Great write up man. It was so good to see you and your lovely. Just a bit about Sweet, it was created by Gary Ukera of the Cheektones. Brian used to play with them back home in Prescott and Don Cheek has been one of his influential musician friends.

@Cody-Soule We should really make a section for press clippings.

Great review man! Thanks for taking the time to write this up!
-
Great write up Martin! Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us...wish I could have been there!

@ElGranJustino Thanks! The show was Epic! The supporting acts were top notch as well. Listen to all the sets. Cycles Bassist had more fun than anyone else the whole weekend.
-
@SonrisaSmiles Great to meet you as well! It was such an epic weekend!
-
@VillaReality Thanks for the read! It was such an awesome show!

@603Brett Brett it was such a fun time! I had a blast writing this and thanks to @damian for letting me do it. I commented to him that I thought it was cool that he would allow fan reviews, then he said I could do one. Can't wait for the next show!
My favorite Stafford show is the next one. Hope to see you there. #killingit

@Lopez it was defiantly #lopezaf!

@mccuem just for clarity, I didn't let you write this or allow fans to write reviews. This is a fan site. It belongs to this community and is only as good as we make it. I'm just a fan like the rest of you guys. I think this band is awesome, it's going places, and I want to make sure the community has a place to grow and support them. I am beyond grateful that you took time to think about and share your experience seeing the show. Truly, thank you!
There's no site without you. You all... We all... Make this into whatever it becomes.

Good meeting you 2 nerds. Great weekend, awesome venue. The VIP seating worked out great as did the bus rides. Noteable mention to Mungion, great songs and playing from those guys.
Hopefully 2018 sees Spafford return to the Mish outside of a festival set.

@Cody-Soule thanks for these press clippings ... really cool history! I love this quote from the last article, sums up the whole experience perfectly for me:
"There's a certain organic excitement that is very attractive to people joining the Spafford community," Smith said. "It's more than just liking the songs they write or liking how well Brian plays guitar. They like how the music makes them feel. They like the inspiration the band brings to their lives. They like that their music motivates them to be creative, unique, and artistic. That's a truly wonderful gift that many bands don't provide."
True that homie
