Yeah, noticed the same thing in Chicago'18. Right after the show, he bailed. Didn't bother to stick around post show at the Gorge so no idea what he did there.
I remember watching some clips on youtube of DMB playing at a show in 1997 or so. Dave walked up to Carter behind stage, before they were going on, and Carter looked beat. Dave said 'how you doing?' and Carter went on to complain about the humidity and heat.
I imagine as he gets older, it gets even more frustrating. Chicago last year, it was around 97 or something at the start of the show. Even by night, it was still 90 something. Many of their nights are spent in hot cities around the country.. I imagine this doesn't help anything.
