Red Rocks - Finally

What a trip!

Last January, Mrs. '58 and I bought tickets to see Brit Floyd at the Red Rocks Ampitheater just outside of Denver. I took pictures but they did no justice to the venue so I attached a video of a past performance to show you.

I'll try to keep this brief and share a few photos.

- Went to the Denver Zoo. It was 85 degrees and the animals were mostly laying down (or dead for all I could tell)
- Took a shuttle to the venue. This was a good call. A very good call.
- Red Rocks is... well, I mean... it's a 9,500 seat natural ampitheater in a canyon. 'Hard to describe.
- The show was fantastic. Full-on Floyd with the lights and accoutrements (I had to google spell that one). I Go-Pro'd a few clips that Iand combined them in a video below.
- This morning on the way home we were detoured around the Eisenhower Tunnel (crash inside) over Loveland Pass. Pretty, but it added an hour to our trip.

All in all, it was a great 36 hours.

Aping around at the zoo.

Loveland Pass. All traffic was diverted around the Eisenhower Tunnel due to a crash inside.

This is my montage of the gig. Those are Denver lights beyond the stage. I'll award an "atta boy" to anyone who can name all of the songs in the short clips.



This is Brit Floyd. This is Red Rocks - but this is a show from 10 years ago. The first 10 seconds give a good glimpse of the venue. Our concert highlighted The Division Bell (30 years ago) and The Dark Side of the Moon (50 years ago).

Bump.

It happened again. This post wasn't even "on the board" for a day. It and a bunch of others disappeared. Is it the timing of my post? Does the slate get wiped clean on Saturday morning or something?

Such a nice place. I remember being a student at CSU and going down to see two separate events there. Talking Heads, and B-52's.
