Upful Life
Sold-out tour closer in the hallowed cathedral that Bill Graham built. The boys dug deep & uncorked one for the ages, delivering a night to truly remember. This show packed justabout everythang there is to Love about LETT. It was a serious party on the dancefloor, but methinks the band had even more fun than we did. The energy was potent & palpable - from the stage to tha RAGE & back again. On the shortlist of the 150+ I've been privileged to take in live & direct. Grateful for every last beating heart & special soul who make this possible - you know who you is... Nights like this one are precisely WHY WE LETTUCE 🔥 Give Thanks & #radiateLETT -bg@lettucefunk @thefillmore ... See MoreSee Less
