While the United States continues to see record breaking COVID-19 numbers, there are some people who don’t seem to take the pandemic seriously — like all the people who went to see Great White play in Dickinson, North Dakota Thursday night. As footage shows, the hard rock band played an outdoor concert as part of the town’s “First On First: Dickinson Summer Nights” series, and there were no safety restrictions. Not only were attendees shoulder to shoulder, there also wasn’t a mask in sight.

I appreciate the funny headline, but there are two touring versions of the band. The one associated with the fire was the other one.

Great White metal band apologizes for mask-less show in North Dakota
A different iteration of Great White that included longtime frontman Jack Russell and that performed under the name Jack Russell’s Great White was involved in one of the most tragic concerts in U.S. history in 2003. During a show at The Station nightclub in Rhode Island, the band’s pyrotechnics sparked a fast-moving blaze that caused a bottleneck as fans tried to flee. The fire killed 100 people, including the band’s guitarist, Ty Longley, and injured more than 200 others.

Russell isn’t part of the band that performed in Dickinson and still has his own version. Great White is now fronted by lead singer Mitch Malloy, who is from Dickinson, a city of about 23,000 people.
