The Kentucky quintet has been playing at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre since 2006, and each time they return, they deliver a show that is nothing short of spectacular. Their latest appearance, on a warm and clear summer night, was no exception.

My Morning Jacket – August 27th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 4 min read

This past weekend at Red Rocks was a perfect example about why there are those of us music fans who insist on seeing more than one show in row by certain bands. I have friends who look at me a little funny when I say I’m going to see a band twice or three times in a span of three or four days, and I have friends that give me that knowing look and are right beside me in line for the best space on each night. These latter friends get it, they are chasing “that show” too. They know that just because the Friday night show was good, it doesn’t mean that Saturday won’t be better.

My Morning Jacket returned to the 1stBank Center in Broomfield for night two of their three night New Year’s run and upped the energy level a bit from the deep cuts and mellow vibe of night one. Opening with “Circuital” and “Off The Record” the band gave a foreshadowing of what was to come on New Year’s Eve. The show was highlighted by originals like “The Way That He Sings,” “Wonderful (The Way I Feel),” and “I’m Amazed” alongside a pair of glorious covers in Simon & Garfunkle’s “America” and Prince’s “Purple Rain” and left fans wanting more.

My Morning Jacket kicked-off their three night New Year’s stand at the 1stBank Center on Friday night with a two and a half hour show that touched on all eras of their nearly 20 year career. While The Jacket showcased favorites like “Golden” and “What A Wonderful Man,” and delivered a monster take on “Dondante” to close out the set, the band’s lighting rig put on a show of it’s own and dazzled the crowd with a wide variety of configurations. The boys from Kentucky proved yet again why they are known as one of the best live bands on the scene and raised expectations for a New Year’s Eve to remember.

It’s always a party when The Congress plays and last Friday night was no different. With old friends high-fiving and hugging out under the marquee and inside the great little theater on Colfax, there was a feeling of family hanging in the air. When the boys in The Congress lived in Denver they were frequently found at The Bluebird, both as fans and performers. Now they have graduated to the national touring scene and came back to their old stomping grounds to strut their stuff!
