Figured that since I couldn't afford to make the trip this time -- breaking my 10-year attendance streak -- I'd start a new thread just for these Big Island shows.

At least a couple of years. I have photos of him standing in Hawaii in March of 2020, just before the pandemic shut everything down. He was still standing at a few outdoor shows in the summer of 2021. All my photos show him sitting starting in 2022 through the present.

Wiltsie informed us in Mixlr Chat that the opener (Inglis & Sless) wouldn't be broadcast, and that they hope to have everything straightened out by the time that DNB hits the stage

Yes, all of the above links are now inactive. The opener ended less than 5 minutes ago.
The DNB stream will likely be on yet a different link, and I'd guess it might begin about 30 to 45 minutes from now.

By the time the Mixlr audio
By the time the Mixlr audio stream finally came on, we only got to hear the end of Bertha, then Days Between, and they finished with a Hawaiian song I didn't recognize.
According to Mark D -- my "informant" at the show -- the opening band we at home heard for those 2+ songs consisted of Stephen Inglis (slack-key guitar & vocals), Barry Sless (pedal steel), and the rest of DNB except David Nelson.
Also, Mark texted me that it's raining at The Eleven... not a heavy rain, but more like a steady mist to light rain.
