It’s always a treat to welcome Widespread Panic back to Colorado, but their annual stand at Red Rocks is something special. Celebrating their 64th, 65th, and 66th consecutive sellouts, the band deserves their own banner in the rafters…errrr wait…anyway…they deserve something special. Instead they served us something special on Friday when they delivered a crowd pleasing set of favorites that left some scratching their heads wondering what was left on the table for the rest of the weekend.

Is every Sunday show an epic throwdown that you shouldn’t have missed? The short answer is “no” but it’s understandable that people want to feel like they were rewarded for going out on a Sunday night and catching a marathon performance. Trey Anastasio and his supremely talented band turned in nearly three hours of music on Sunday and, despite the early start time, it was likely midnight before many in the capacity crowd made it home.

Well that was one for the books. While Joe Russo’s Almost Dead is consistently one of the most exploratory and compelling bands on the scene, they always seem to push their limits for the Colorado faithful and this year was no different.

The setting was perfect: Red Rocks on a cool night with the massive orange harvest moon hanging low over the Denver skyline and Beck about to take the stage – all the indicators predicted properly what was to come for this anxious audience. Being the second night of two on the Rocks, and a rare two night stand for the tour, the mystery of the setlist was the most overheard conversation before the show and, ultimately, the big prize for all in attendance after it was all said and done.

Telluride Blues & Brews is always a one-of-a-kind weekend in paradise, but with bluebird skies, beautiful weather, and a notable line-up, this year was special. While it’s tough to complain about anything when in Telluride, stellar sets from the likes of Don Bryant, Marcus King Band, Monophonics, Gov’t Mule, and Robert Plant really pushed this one over the top!

Like all things in this human condition, art also follows the circle of life. Having just seen the memorials in honor of Aretha Franklin’s passing and feeling like there is a vacuum now in the world of great vocalist…suddenly the circle closed and the gap was filled by Rachael Price of Lake Street Dive.

Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit rolled into Red Rocks for what was to be a great Labor Day celebration. The tour is supported by Isbell’s wife, Amanda Shires, and Aimee Mann, who both made note worthy marks on the night. Despite the crowd looking like they had had an exhausting holiday weekend, they were full of energy and extremely responsive; often times the only thing you could hear during the performance was the sound of people singing along like a chorus in church.
