Anyone been to a concert at Red Rocks?

[Dave the OAP]

Visited Red Rocks Ampitheater in Colorado yesterday and what an incredible place it is.( It was nearly 100 degrees)

There is a visitors centre with pictures and wall plaques of bands who have played there and it reads like a who's who of rock music.

Is that where U2 filmed one of their early bits ? "Under a blood red sky" comes to mind.

Are you on holiday ?

Why weren't we told ?


Is it a bit like the Minnack Theatre in Cornwall ?

That is worth a trip.

Breathtaking venue and fascinating history. Saw 'The Crucible' there last summer on what must have been the hottest day of the year - with the surroundings and weather it was like being in Greece.

have you played there RM? It was really great being there and as you said, it looks incredible, I was wondering what the accoustics were like!

I saw a reformation comedy there a couple of weeks ago - we were lucky with the weather - it got cold but it was fine. It was well done and what a view.

The sea is definitely a few degrees colder down there don't you think ?

Having obliterated my collar bone in a cycle crash by the Palace Pier (nothing to do with HB&B I might add) last June I was unable to swim in Cornwall unfortunately (3 ops later and back to full swimming now though)

I do remember going to see the Grateful Dead in a natural bowl/amphitheatre just outside Phoenix in '87 - that was quite special.

Just last week, Sunday to Sunday, BUT it looks as though it may be a regular thing according to the people putting the project together. If you have a gig coming up let me know and I will send the details to our guys in the office ( in Thornton)

We drove through Boulder on Saturday on the way to Estes Park and Bear lake. the place was heaving with people going to see the Collegiate NFL game.

Denver is certainly a great place ( it was the Denver Beer Festival/Oktoberfest last week) and the place was packed full of pissed up people.

I haven't but I would have LOVED to be there for this concert, slightly flakey recording but I assume it was just a guy with a video camera recording it. As for the background noise, why the f*** do people go to concerts and then talk and laugh al the way through them, wankers all of them and I always end up next to one of them

how did you enjoy the altitude + alcohol intake? haha.. pretty crazy the effect it can have when you're not used to it as an everyday thing...
