Live Music in Lynchburg – October 2020

To many people – myself included – there is no better way to listen to music than to listen to it live. The subtle changes in a song, when played live, make it unique and one of a kind. There is certain energy that exists at live shows, which is why some of the largest venues of people ever assembled in one outdoor event are music festivals:

• Rod Stewart at Copacabana Beach, 1994 (4.2 million people)
• Jean Michel Jarre in Moscow, 1997 and in Paris, 1994 (3.5 million & 2.5 million respectively)
• Garth Brooks in New York, 1997 (750,000 people)
• Summer Jam at Watkins Glen, 1973 (Grateful Dead & Allman Brothers – 600,000 people)

This month we have two great shows for you at The Stoney Badger Tavern in Lynchburg, Virginia.
