        I was at Red Rocks once,and one of the bands that was playing that night was sound checking. Sounded amazing. Saw a guy in the gift shop who looked like he was in one of the bands. Started to talk to him and found out he was the singer for Slipknot. Said you must look forward to the drum solo,to which he replied no way our drummer can do a solo at this  altitude.

            The U2 gig at Red Rocks immortalised on VHS was a hot item when I was a teenager. Pretty Iconic stuff if you grew up in the 80’s.

              Dave Matthews Band Live at Red Rocks ‘95 immortalized it for me. Also the U2 Zoo TV tour that was broadcast on the radio in the US was essential listening for me when I was 8. Ah the memories…

                It’s definitely a Bucket List place for me to go to a concert at. The Black Crowes will be there this Summer.

                  Honestly I’ve been there in the morning just to walk around and run stairs more than I have for concerts.

                      Best music venue for me is most definitely different to most memorable!

                      Camden Roundhouse sound engineers are on point, and I've enjoyed so great shows there. Most memorable?

                      Wetland and CBGBs in NYC in the early 90s
                      Stone Pony in NJ early 90s
                      The Marquee in London, 90s
                      London Union Chapel for Mudhoney, Love Battery, Ahghan Whigs, Nirvana shows all around 1990
                      The Powerhouse for Bikini Kill in the mid 90s, to see Mark Lamar get owned!
                      The Garage in London for many a hardcore and death metal show.
                      The old Wembley stadium for GnR in 91, just to hear 75000 people singing from out of nowhere by Faith No More. That was incredible.

                      I've had amazing box seats and floor seats at the Royal Albert Hall but found the acoustics (rather than sound engineering) not to be good.

                      Security restrictions in the late 90s started to kill the atmosphere of gigs. Accountability and insurance really put an end to my stage diving career!

                        I've seen Bicep at the Roundhouse and yeah the sound was good…

                        Give the R.A.H another bash as they have been improving things a lot in recent years...

                            Colin Hay was great last night at the Saban in Beverly Hills.

                            His fans are total nerds, and not in a good way. Shut the fuck up and let the man talk and play. He shut em down in one instance by saying effectively the same thing. In another, when some asshole started to try to clap on the one, he stopped and pointed out that he'd rearranged the song to make it difficult to clap to. There were other behaviors to rant about, but a general lack of etiquette wasn't enough to derail a great show.

                            Anyway, very funny man, and I had no idea he could shred guitar that hard.

                            Think it, be it.

                                Setzer lives (or at least lived) in Minneapolis. He was very nice to us fans who accosted him 😃

                                  Many years ago,my band was playing at a club in Philadelphia and the opening band was a band we had never heard of called the Bloodless Pharaohs. The guitar player was Brian Setzer. Needless to say they were quite hard to follow.

                                      Local roaster has a blend branded "Bitches Brew" so now a formative album will be freaking out the dogs for the next couple of hours. Just love this damn album… So evocative of mystery and the mystical.

                                      I would strongly recommend Miles Davis' autobiography as well, it is fascinating, in turns hilarious, inspiring, and tragic, and definitely you can hear his raspy voice narrating the thing as you read it. He, like another of my favorites, Frank Zappa, was so visionary and so good at assembling and motivating the talent needed to realize his vision.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                          She rules. I learned about her on season 2 of Mike Judge's brilliant series "Tales From the Tour Bus" (a must for music lovers: first season did outlaw country, second did funk. I bought each season from YouTube for $20 a pop, 10 episodes–well worth it because you can always screen them for guests and they never get old).

                                          Think it, be it.
