@derek111 ah that’s been on my reading list forever…need to pick it up! Yes, he loved it although they played for nearly 3 hours so it was kind of a trial by fire. Best proof I have is that he’s been forcing his younger sister to listen to his new favorite songs by them. It was a memorable time for us both I think.

Love Wilco.
TV on the Radio and LCD Soundsystem crushed Red Rocks last night and we had a crazy red moonrise over the stage during LCD’s set.
-
@mclaincausey It blows my mind that for some people, Red Rocks is the local venue.
-
@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.
