Mary Chapin Carpenter performing “The Hard Way” Live at Red Rocks, with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. Recorded July, 2019.
I was thinking about all the summer concerts I missed this year due to COVID, and was feeling nostalgic. This was a spectacular performance on a gorgeous (but windy!) evening in July of 2019. I have fond memories of the show. I got called out by some people after her performance for singing along to almost every song. (How could I not?!)
I hope everybody is staying safe, maintaining a respectful distance in public, wearing your masks, and doing your part to put and end to this, so we can get back to these lovely summer concerts, and just any concerts really.
