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.

Any time the line to enter The Ogden stretches down Colfax and around the corner onto Odgen Street you know you have a crowd eager to see one of their favorite bands. This was certainly the case last Wednesday night as a dedicated and seasoned crowd showed up early on a beautiful fall evening.
