The Colorado Music Thread- Denver, Boulder, Red Rocks, etc.

I thought only hippies listened to EOTO

[liquidsnake28]

Some segments of SCI sets are just like Zilla or EOTO but nobody wants a drummer taking over the whole show.

Im a 1/3 hippie. On my mothers side. I rebel against it is hard to enjoy it unless its IDM and involves drugs.

[blackstar]

Red rocks is always on my radar... It's a little ways outta the way, but worth every mile. I stopped the first time on a road trip to check it out and knew I had to go back to see a show. I kept tabs and finally Radiohead played there, totally worth the mileage. After Daft Punk ripped Coachella to shreds I made the journey again. I grew up going to the Gorge and it has its own beauty, but Red Rocks is so tiny and the sound is so right there. I say go to both places as many times as you can. Make Coachella friends in both places because traveling for music is so much fun.

[stinkbutt]

It's been awhile since I've been to Colorado would love to go back if they end up getting something good again. I was there in 07 for Bjork

[Aurgasm]

I'm hoping for a really solid, unique schedule and the opportunity to party with my coachella people both at the Rocks and in Denver. 8^)

I am so lame this way: I knew a number of the security people at the upper entrance at RR. They always said if I ever just wanted to "drop in" a show just let them know. I never once took them up on the offer. Maybe this year .... Yea Aurgasm, I think i counted about 300 MMJ adds in westword last week ..... cr****

So you are sleeping with Dave? You are slowly becoming Suprefan.


I did like this though...

U2's appearance at Invesco Field at Mile High on June 12 will be the biggest single-band concert in Colorado this year, but the third annual Mile High Music Festival will likely draw more people. The event will take over the fields surrounding Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City on Aug. 14-15, organizers told The Denver Post. Moving the festival from July to August has multiple benefits, according to promoter Chuck Morris.

"It won't be as hot in August," Morris, president of AEG Live Rocky Mountains, predicted. "And we're also a week after Lollapalooza, which will help with the routing of some of these bands."

Morris' team is busy booking, but he's not announcing any acts until his initial artist announcement, due in early March.

I will totally come back to Mile High if the line up is there. That festival has SOOOO much potential. They just need to step away from the damn hippie jam bands.

[J~$$$$]

Dave Matthews headlines the closing night of AUG15th...........sigh.

[J~$$$$]

Pretty sure Outsidelands fest gets him too.

the organizer said he's fishing from the Lolla artists this year

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

didn't he just headline both festivals?

[J~$$$$]

legions of fans.

[J~$$$$]

hahahaha what do want to bet Dave Matthews gets a lollapalooza slot too.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

that would be festival fails all around. Though I doubt it, isn't DMB doing a really big city tour anyways?

[J~$$$$]

Look at his tour schedule closely. Outside lands is the only iffy one. Again its just a guess on my part.
