Great White play corona-concert with no social distancing

Veteran rockers Great White, the band notorious for the fire that killed 100 people after setting off pyrotechnics inside of a small club, played a concert in Dickinson, North Dakota last week with no social distancing or any other safety protocols. The band said "It’s one of those things where if people feel comfortable coming down and mixing and mingling, that’s their personal choice. We’re leaving it up to everybody that chooses to attend” at first, and later (kinda) apologized - "we have had the luxury of hindsight and we would like to apologize to those who disagree with our decision to fulfill our contractual agreement. Our intent was simply to perform our gig, outside, in a welcoming, small town". Several hundred people attended the concert, with social distancing or masks.
