Pete Francis and Braddigan 10/11/12 of June!

Back up guitarist and Drummer of the band Dispatch will perform together for three nights in Southbridge MA, Asbury Park NJ, and Falls Church VA. Now I am a very big Dispatch and State Radio fan, but I am not ye sure how I feel about the other two. Can Brad and Pete really pull off a great concert with Chad being absent?

I say no. First of all, Chad did lead vocals for the group and while Brad and Pete can sing well, they do not carry the same intensity as Chad. Additionally, Chad writes far better songs than either of the two. So don’t expect to hear any of your old Dispatch favorites, because Chad wrote most of them. Maybe you will hear Carry You and Fallin’. But these songs just don’t get me going like any of Chad’s stuff.

So my final diagnosis would have to be that this concert is just not worth it. I would save my 15 bucks for the Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, and Trey concert later this summer, in August I believe.

If anyone ends up going please tell me how it was and what the set list was.

Have a good one
