Last night, Gold Dust Woman a Fleetwood Mac tribute band played a show at the Penn Community Bank Amphitheater in Bensalem. For those new to the township, this sits right on the grounds of the township building near Knights and Byberry Roads.
Last night, the weather was fantastic, a prefect night for a show. By 6:15 PM parking was starting to be non existent and some people got creative in finding spots. Thousands of people showed up to see this band from Long Island, New York.
