Outdoor Retailer - July 2017 - 60
Music and Memories
MEASURE OF GRACE
In 2011, outdoor legacy
brand Wolverine kicked off
an outstanding series of
OR concerts at The Depot,
where Vermont rocker
Grace Potter had the
crowd headbanging and
-in some cases, drooling.
LONG LIVE THE TRADE
SHOW CONCERT!
Beyond all the booths and selling and stories, one constant has made so
many Outdoor Retailer shows memorable-bands from Frank Black to
Michael Franti bringing down the badge-wearing, flannel-clad house.
Written By Tim McManus
A
nother day of wrangling with marketing managers trying to sell ads and high-fiving with
old friends on the trade show floor had ended at the 2001 Summer Market. There was a
very healthy and steady stream of attendees pouring out of the South Entrance of the Salt
Palace as the sun was dropping in the Salt Lake sky. It felt like any other day at the show.
But wait. There was also reverb, feedback, and then...power chords. One of the '90s most treasured rock icons was on a temporary stage flanked by his band and Salomon windblades and he was
starting his show-here, at trade show in Utah.
Some attendees, still wearing badges, stopped, stoked at the unbelievable scene unfolding at
60 OUTDOOR RETAILER
/ 35th Anniversary 2017
the end of Day 2. Most kept walking, either unaware or not caring that Frank Black of Pixies
fame had just launched his set with the classic
post-punk-anthem "Gouge Away."
For the next 90 minutes, Frank Black and
the Catholics marched through a cranking set
that had locals in the punk rock scene watching from rooftops as industry insiders bobbed
their heads in unison. This was the first official
Salomon FreeRide Happy Hour.
Maybe it's because I played a small part in
producing the show (Hooked on the Outdoors,
the magazine I worked for at the time, was a cosponsor) or maybe it's because The Pixies were
the soundtrack for my first cross country adventure, but that moment at Outdoor Retailer
sticks out to me as one of my favorites out of the
25 plus shows I have attended. And many other
brands, from Teva to Jansport to Wolverine,
