Dark clouds blew over the Denver metro late Saturday afternoon, whipping up dust and dropping a few stray sprinkles as fans rolled into the lot at Dick’s for Phish.

Sure, this wasn’t a show for the ages, or a year-end list topper we’ve come to expect at Dick’s, but it was a solid, enjoyable night of music.
