The Temptations

Not the famous ones in the scriptures, but the singing group from the 1960s.  We got tickets for this concert back in late 2019 as part of a Christmas gift for my dad.  At that time, it was going to be held in the Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City in April of 2020. Then, of course, the pandemic arrived and everything was cancelled.  The concert was reschedule to July 17, 2021 and moved to the Deer Valley Music Festival in the outdoor Snow Park Amphitheater in Park City.  That was too much walking for my dad so Jena took his ticket. 

Gary forgot his hat so used Jena's hoodie to provide some protection

while we waited for the concert to start.

It was warm at first, but about the time the concert was to start the sun headed behind the mountains to the west and cooled the air quickly.  I have enjoyed the other concerts I have attended here and this one was no different....so fun.

The first half were some numbers by the Utah Symphony and then the Temptations arrived in their bright yellow suits and great voices.  Only one of them is an original member of the group--Otis Williams.  They sang their classic songs as well as a couple of new ones.  The audience was more of a mix of young and old than I was expecting and we enjoyed the whole experience--well, except the traffic afterwards but that is the price you pay....and it wasn't as bad a normal as they did not sell as many seats as normal due to the continuing caution due to the pandemic.

Music and mountains are a powerful combination.  We will have to do it again next year!
