Has anyone ever been to Red Rocks Amplihtheatre?
 

Just wondering what your experiences were? What's the place like? It looks amazing from the pictures I've seen.

I saw Neil Young there like 25 years ago. It's probably the coolest outdoor venue I've been to. It'd have been better had it been anybody BUT Neil Young. LOL

I usually try and catch a show or two a season out there. Easily the best outdoor venue I have been to.

The place has a long history, the weather is usually great and tailgating in the parking lot is a good time.

Have to agree, great place. First 24 rows are GA (or were last time I went), but the upper rows were better IMO (not into the front row shoving match). Gorgeous views really improve the experience.

I would love to watch a concert out there sometime. We visited it when it was empty one year and it was quite the sight.

It's a cool venue for sure. Beware the madness of Denver traffic post show, though.

Oh, and Phish, for some reason, has had their lifetime ban from Red Rocks lifted, and they'll be playing there this summer. I suggest you try to attend a concert there prior to the descent of the hippie hordes. It might not ever be the same after that.

My good buddy saw phish there without me in the 90's. Now it looks like my turn.

did you get some tickets in the mail order lottery?

i didn't, shut out again.

Sorry to hear that. Yeah I did I ended up ordering for the whole RR run and the Chicago show as a fall back since I didn't think they'd fill my order at all. They filled the whole darn thing. This must be their payback to me for the debacle that was Coventry.

After you go to a concert there, it becomes the concert by which all other concerts are judged.

Wow! I've been to alot of shows in alot of different places. Red Rocks has always been somewhere I've wanted to see a show. I can't wait.

Who did you see there Brock?

it is a great venue.

my wife and i went to see moe. and umphrey's mcgee there a few summers ago; also seen panic there a time or two.

it is seriously GOD's place to watch music, Incubus, amazing

I saw Neil Young twice. First time, Booker T and the MG's were his band and Soundgarden and Blind Melon opened. Great show!
The second was on his Greendale tour. I didn't know that when I bought the tickets. WORST SHOW EVAR!
The band basically provided the narrative to a bad high school play that unfolded as they played.
