Gary’s Lt. Dan Band was on hand this past weekend to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Chicago’s annual Air and Water Show. Thanks to area resident and super-Sinise fan, Glenda, we have some excellent photos from the show to share! Read more about the event here.
Again, many thanks to Glenda! (and if the tropical storm/hurricane Fay doesn’t knock out my power, I’ll post additional photos later tonight).
Thanks once again to Glenda for providing fabulous photos from the recent Lt. Dan Band shows.
Below are a selected few from the Great Lakes Naval Base concert on July 18th.

Gary and Mari Anne Jayme:
Also, check out these videos of the band performing Bring Me to Life and Superstition at this very show!
Next up: Cantigny Park concert photos (hope to have them posted in the next few days).
Thanks again, Glenda!
Great article with some nice pictures! Thanks to the author for the tip.
Thanks to the generosity of Sinisefan Ellen C. we have a much better quality video of the Lt. Dan Band performing at Joe’s Bar on May 2nd. Ellen was seated very close to the stage and directly in front of Gary and Jeff, so it is definitely worth a look. Gary’s expressions while playing bass are priceless!
Also, Glenda has kindly provided photos of Gary from the performance that night.
Thanks again to both Ellen and Glenda for sharing their video and photographs!
Coming soon: Steppenwolf Gala photos
Earlier today, Gary and the Lt. Dan Band performed at the 4th Annual America Supports You Military Tribute Concert at the Pentagon Courtyard.
There are a couple articles recapping the event, but some of the better ones can be found at DoD-American Forces Press Service, America Supports You, and Stars and Stripes. The Stars and Stripes article includes a five minute video wherein Gary talks about returning to Iraq this summer and the band heading to Germany, the United Kingdom and Netherlands in June as well as two snippets from the show.
The Department of Defense has posted some photos of the event here, but be sure to have a look at the terrific (evidence below) concert shots in the photo essay.

On May 2nd, Gary and the Lt. Dan Band performed at Joe’s Bar in Chicago. This benefit concert was open to the public and proceeds went to the United States Vietnam Arts Program. The USVAP and Lt. Dan Band co-founder Kimo Williams (a Vietnam veteran) and his ensemble Kimotion were selected to perform at the International Hue Festival in Hue Vietnam June 1st through June 5th. Read more about Kimo’s upcoming visit to Vietnam at USVAP and more about Kimotion here.
We have photos from the Joe’s concert (and the Steppenwolf Gala) which will be posted soon. A big thank you to Glenda for those once again this year.
In the meantime, there are two videos from the concert (thanks to youtube). The first is the band performing “Baba O’Riley;” the second is primarily Jeff Vezain’s performance of “Smooth.” The audio is not the best (especially for “Smooth”), but these might be enjoyable for those who have not been to a Lt. Dan Band show - yet.
The Rapid City Journal published a feature with Gary on Friday - print interview, photo and a (4 min) video segment.
Gary and the band were in town to perform at Ellsworth AFB.
KEVN Black Hills Fox News has a short segment with Gary and Lt Dan Band concert clip here.
