@seawolf it still blows mine. My Mt Rushmore of outdoor Colorado venues:
Red Rocks
Mishawaka
Telluride Town Park
Dillon AmphitheaterVery torn about which of these I might replace with Planet Bluegrass Ranch in Lyons. We have an absolute embarrassment of riches here and now one of my favorite indoor venues in Denver’s Mission Ballroom.

I saw King Buffalo tonight. They were great. I have seen them before, but I never noticed how diverse the crowd was.
I don't know much about the band. Can anyone tell me why there were so many more wise fans (60+) in the crowd?
Nothing against wise fans for the record - I am hot on their heels.

I'm having a killer month of shows. King Gizzard to start things off, then My Morning Jacket at the Hollywood Palladium, tonight I saw Bela Fleck and the Flecktones and next The Sword!!! Great month of shows!!

Joe Russo’s Almost Dead at Dillon Amphitheater last Saturday. What a great time!
Think it, be it.

If anyone is close to Raleigh North Carolina Far Too Jones is playing a final 'final' two shows in February. Great band that could've been famous and didn't want to be. Looking for airfare and hotel now. Their first album is unskippable. Every song is great imo
-
Suede in South Bank tonight. Circa 300 people. Much better than Oasis at Wembley a few weeks ago. Feels like a bit of a Britpop cash in. Gorillaz on Friday will round things out.

@Heritage_Guy agreed! Immaculate reinterpretations, and they covered some favorites of mine (The Eleven > St Stephen, Stella Blue) and my wife’s (Eyes of the World).
They opened with Revival by the great Dickey Betts (and later I heard a tease of In Memory of Elizabeth Reed), and later, Hard to Handle (Otis Redding) and Good Lovin (The Olympics) in the first set. So half of the songs in the opening set wound up being covers of other artists, though the latter two common Dead covers. The other non Dead cover I can think of was Lawyers, Guns, and Money by Warren Zevon in the second set. A great night!
In past shows I’ve even seen the likes of Radiohead and Springsteen covers. They always do such a great job and you never know what they might do.

@Bridger yeah, he was sick.
There’s actually a pretty watchable video I found on YT of the 8/15 Denver show. I don’t want to post it here since it’s a full show. It’s easy to find for anyone interested. I recommend checking it out. The time bar actually shows the song names when you scroll which is helpful.

That's awesome to hear @Matt, Josh is one of my favorite drummers.
No idea what happened with him and Grohl, but great that he is back with the Niners.
-
@Bridger I don’t profess to know what happened with Josh and Grohl,but after seeing them with Josh,and having seen him with Taylor,I felt that the bands groove was off,it just didn’t swing,which is so important for any band. He ,technically,played the songs correctly and with precision,but the rest of the band seemed to miss Taylor and it just wasn’t happening. Have to figure that if I noticed it they must’ve noticed it.

That's really interesting insight @Jett129.
Having just read Sympathy for the Drummer, I get what you mean.
I am not a fooies "fan", but I did see Josh with them last year and I loved the power and double kick that he brought to the songs. However, music is subjective, and we all enjoy different things.
Be interesting to see how things get on for Rubin. I give him less than 2 years at a stretch.
