Great White got so much abuse for doing this gig, that they issued a subsequent press release that was (IMHO, incorrectly) called an apology:

“We understand that there are some people who are upset that we performed this show, during this trying time. We assure you that we worked with the Promoter. North Dakota’s government recommends masks be worn, however, we are not in a position to enforce the laws.

We have had the luxury of hindsight and we would like to apologize to those who disagree with our decision to fulfill our contractual agreement.

The Promoter and staff were nothing but professional and assured us of the safety precautions.

Our intent was simply to perform our gig, outside, in a welcoming, small town.

We value the health and safety of each and every one of our fans, as well as our American and global community.

We are far from perfect.”

They're not my cup of tea, but bravo for getting out there and working again, and supporting not just fans but roadies and other crew members.

Didn’t like 70 people die in a fire at one of their concerts maybe 10-15 years ago??

Were their fans forced to attend at gunpoint?

Oh, I forgot, we’re not a free country anymore we’re a Karen country.

I sure the Lame Street Media will say, much like they did for the BLM protest, very few if any COVID-199 cases reported from this event but for Trumps Mt. Rushmore show ....hundreds of cases.

It doesn’t matter. There are very few cases in North Dakota.

Sure. Why not? It’s not like Great White is known as a bastion of safety consciousness anyway.

“Come to our paaaarty. We promise you won’t get burned alive or suffocated. We promise.”

Interesting that a group with a name like Great White exists in this age of Black Lives Matter. Perhaps they’ll change their name, like the Dixie Chicks and Lady Antebellum did.

👍 Great, but I have no idea who they are.
