Chris Lisle, visiting from Nashville, Tennessee, was not at the shooting but said he designed Jason Aldean’s show, as a concert production designer.
“I wasn’t physically here, but all my friends were,” Lisle said. “It hurt. It hurt bad. It still hurts, a lot.”
Lisle left 58 roses along the South gate of the festival grounds in memory of the 58 who were murdered.
A dedication ceremony was held at St. Rose to unveil a memorial and to read the names of those who died on October 1, a year ago. (Mat Luschek/Las Vegas Review-Journal)
