Are they going to use the drones on the rest of the tour or did they just have a cool hook up for Colorado?
Straight up they were bad ass stuff there.
Why not at previous spots? Did they make so much $ on these massive sell out crowds they had enough left over for this?
I would assume it wasn't a cheep $200 deal.

They used a camera on a drone at Joni Mitchell's show there to get some interesting shots for the video screen feed. That show was probably being filmed for commercial release, so I don't know if that's normal protocol at the Gorge now. It was the first time I saw them use one that way there.
Heading out there tomorrow morning. Safe travels everyone.

The University always does a 4th of July fireworks show at Folsom. This year they changed to a drone show. I think it just aligned and the right people got together and made it happen with Dead and Company. I wouldn't expect to see it anywhere else on the tour.

John Mayer Asks Fans For Kindness Ahead of Taylor Swift's "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" Re-Release
Story by Jasmine Washington • 13h ago
Besties, IDK if you've heard, but Taylor' Swift's Speak Now (Taylor's Version) is officially here. One of the album's most controversial songs, "Dear John," was one of the most talked about songs ahead of the release, mainly because of fan theories that the song is about Taylor's shortlived relationship with singer John Mayer when she was 19 and he was 32. During a July 6 performance at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado, John used drones to spell out the phrase "please be kind," echoing Taylor's exact sentiments from Eras Tour in late June.
On Saturday, June 24, a video surfaced on Twitter of the Grammy winner expressing gratitude for the "beautiful interactions" she experienced with Swifties during the tour and asking her fans for kindness ahead of her "Dear John" performance and Speak Now (Taylor's Version) re-release.
"I was hoping to ask you that as we lead up to this album, I would love for that kindness and that gentleness to extend onto our internet activities," she asked a Minneapolis crowd. "So what I 'm trying to say is, I 'm putting this album out because I want to own my music, and I believe that [those] who have the desire to own their music should be able to," she explained.
Taylor told her fans that she moved on from the things that inspired the songs on Speak Now, and encouraged them not to defend her on social media. "I 'm 33 years old, I don't care about anything that happened to me when I was 19 except the songs I wrote," she added, "So what I 'm trying to tell you is that I am not putting this album out so you should feel the need to defend me on the internet against someone you think I wrote a song about 14 million years ago."
In case you need a little refresher, "Dear John" was released as a track on Speak Now in October 2010 and was rumored to have been inspired by Taylor's alleged relationship with the singer in 2009. Taylor's Eras Tour stop in Minneapolis was the first time she performed "Dear John" live in nearly a decade.
In May, Taylor revealed that she would be releasing Speak Now (Taylor's Version) on July 7, with six unreleased songs from the vault.
