Being a veteran with ptsd, I don’t get out of the house much, and I especially don’t go to events with crowds. Receiving tickets from you in a section with other veterans made me feel more at ease, and being able to take my family to the concert made me feel safe enough to attend. My boys are at an age where I dont see them much, and I don’t get to spend much time with them. This concert was a wonderful outing for us to spend time as a family. Thank you for your generosity and for helping my family build memories!

Last night, my dear friend, Saraj, and I had a simply perfect concert experience. Good conversation catching up, 3 amazing bands (Lorna Shore, Gojira, and MASTODON), flawless performances, perfect setlists with no lackluster songs. Running into concert goers from past shows.
Special thanks to vettix.org for sending us to the show for free.
Very special thanks to the Concord Pavilion staff for upgrading us to a VIP box for the Mastodon set! My concert hoody has a blend of metal band patches and my personal Army patches, all arranged like they would be on a duty uniform. They staff noticed that I was connecting powerfully, tearfully, and joyously with the music. Plus the patches.
You can see two early pics, where we're off to the left and far back, then later pics where we're close to center and much closer.
Mastodon is very important, to me. They've been part of my journey to heal from combat PTSD. They're psychedelic and if you want to free yourself from ego and achieve acceptance, their music is just perfect. And heavy, endlessly interesting, and enjoyable. Unbelievable talent.
It was a night I'll always remember. And one of those experiences that confirms life can be amazing and worth all the struggle.
At the end of the show, we stayed and talked with the ushers, who were obviously pleased that we loved the upgraded experience. We left after giving them hugs!
Thanks to everyone who made last night possible, in big and small ways. You all rock! 🤘🥰🥳
