show that that the Dan Reed Network was (and still is) by far one of the best and most popular bands to ever come out of Portland, OR. The energy, the interactions, the talent, and the presence of each member of this incredible quintet made everyone’s New Years a fun and eventful. I am positive that I’m not the only one that hopes the Dan Reed Network rocks the stage again. With a fan base like they have I’m surprised it took them 20 years to come together again, but who knows where life will take us. For me and Sherry (mom), it’s come full circle, much like the band, reuniting the two of us and the five of them after so long. Maybe after that successful performance at the reunion show they will have more surprises for us all in the future; if not, well, those of us at the Portland Grand Ballroom were lucky to witness a little of history and nostalgia. On a personal note, this was by far the most exciting and emotional show I myself have ever had the pleasure of attending. A huge thanks to Bart Hafeman for putting the entire show together for us all to share in, and Mystic Photography for capturing all the memorable moments from that night that I, and others, will never forget. - Ashley Lynn Burtis
