WinterWonderGrass – Steamboat Springs – February 23rd, 24th, 25th

Estimated read time 7 min read

First of all, before we get too far down the road, each and every person who was in Steamboat for WinterWonderGrass last weekend is to be commended. From employees and organizers to fans and musicians, this was a dedicated bunch. Temperatures plunged down into the single digits as they worked, danced, poured, and played, but those who played music up on the big stage have to be singled out as the most hardcore of them all. While many could bundle up and put on the heaviest of ski gloves to keep fingers from freezing solid, those musicians had to keep their fingers dancing on the strings, skins, and keys in a vain attempt to keep the blood flowing.

Joe Walsh & Bad Company – May 15 – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 5 min read

It’s always exciting to go to your first Red Rocks show of the season and although the sky looked a bit threatening, it didn’t stop throngs of the dad-rock faithful from flocking to the legendary venue. While it was an older crowd, seeing as it was Joe Walsh and Bad Company, it was a party crowd. For the most part, the “One Hell of a Night” tour lived up to its name, even though at some points it seemed like the “One Half of a Night” tour.

Eagles – October 5th – The Pepsi Center

Estimated read time 7 min read

If you were to select critically important attributes of a Rock band they would include things like great vocalists, great guitarists, great songwriters and of course plenty of hits and quite simply the Eagles had it all . . . and on Saturday night at The Pepsi Center they proved they still do. It was a tame and relatively “buttoned-up” crowd, but when the band took the stage it was deafening in the big room. There was a lot of pent-up energy that was showered on the stage over the course of the three hour performance.
