@feldmen4...SWEET! The Cowboy Junkies are one of my favorite bands. I have never missed a show here in Colorado, seen them half a dozen times or so. Unfortunately, the summer of 2022 was the last time they were here. They just added, this morning, some more shows, but not here :-( Have a GREAT time! |
Thanks @mofimadness. We typically see the Junkies 5-10 times per year if at all possible. They’re shows are always great. |
@feldmen4...sure hope you get to go to Red Rocks. It's like no other place to see a show. Been there hundreds of times. One of my favorite places on earth. I'd live there if they'd let me. |
Keb Mo, Lake Street Dive, Joe Bonamassa, handful of classical events. All with either my children and or grandchildren.They are vets. My daughter has been with me three of the seven times I’ve seen Bonnie Raitt. Six year old grandson was brought up on stage to sing and dance with Michael Franti last summer. This how I flex. |

@mofimadness. Spot on about the magic of Red Rocks. So many wonderful memories of shows there, including a near-legendary night with Chuck Mangione playing under a lunar eclipse. I am in the Colorado Symphony Chorus and so I’ve had the good fortune of performing a number of times at Red Rocks. One of the most fun was singing backup to the Flaming Lips in 2016 when they played the entire Soft Bulletin album to a packed house of adoring fans, a performance available on an album. I have pictures of myself with Wayne Coyne taken in the bowels under the stage as souvenirs. Having stood on that stage, flanked by the red cliffs and seeing thousands of cheering fans in that amphitheater, I can see why performers lick their chops for the opportunity to play there and lay down such amazing performances there. Speaking of wonderful concerts, we (the Colorado Symphony, Symphony Chorus, Colorado Children’s Chorale and soloists) are performing Orff’s Carmina Burana this very weekend. Everyone should hear Carmina Burana live at least once. Come check it out! |
@77jovian...that is SO COOL! I’ve been to Red Rocks many, many, many times over the past 50 years and still find it magical & ethereal. My claim to fame is that I have been present at quite a few "filmed" concerts at Red Rocks. Stevie Nicks Live At Red Rocks U2 Under A Blood Red Sky Goo Goo Dolls Live At Red Rocks Rickie Lee Jones Live At Red Rocks Bad Company Live At Red Rocks
Saw the Moody Blues with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and Amos Lee with the Symphony. Those were FANTASTIC shows!
One of my fondest memories was the first time the Indigo Girls played there. It was drizzling and spitting rain all day. You could see the lightening and dark clouds back behind the stage as the storm was moving in. As soon as they came out and starting playing "Secure Yourself", (with the first line of the song being "Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight the night has come") they both raised their arms up to the heavens...and it stopped raining. It stayed dry until right after their 3rd encore. The second the lights popped on, it started pouring rain. By the time we got back to the car, there was at least 2 inches of water on the ground and continued for the rest of the night. It’s like the deluge stopped for them to perform then just let go...what a supernatural night! I will never forget...
Have a GREAT weekend and hope your concert goes well!!!

@mofimadness Those are wonderful memories. You and I probably passed each other at one or more of those concerts. If I ever spilled a beer in your lap, I apologize! |
I just saw Dead and Co. at the Sphere in Vegas -3/27 & 3/29 the week before I saw Bettye LaVette and Madeleine Peyroux at Parkway theater in Minneapolis very cool shows. My concert calendar is filling up fast this year. After I just dropped a pretty penny on a Aurender N150 streamer and Hegel 390 integrated amp. I also added a Kore sub chassis and Lingo 4 to my Linn LP12 thinking it would satisfy my lust for live shows. Nope, Not with so many good shows coming through the Twin Cities this year. I have tickets for the following shows Mogwai Geoff Tate Lambrini Girls Christone Kingfish Ingram and Samantha Fish Martin Lawrence Ray LaMontange Steven Wilson Wardruna and Chelsea Wolfe Ziggy Marley and Burning Spear Stanley Clarke Herbie Hancock Gallant And my favorite band The Church time to pump the brakes on buying tickets for awhile even though I have a few shows penciled in. I had a friend tell me no one on there death has said I went to too many concerts. Enjoy your music everyone. Turn it up! |
