The Red Rocks faithful were treated to a NOLA take-over of sorts Friday night. After a limited capacity show last summer, The Revivalists made their triumphant return to live music’s greatest playground, and they brought Preservation Hall Jazz Band with them! The big easy was in full representation! Rounding out the bill was The Ghosts of Paul Revere who got to make their Red Rocks debut as they crisscross the county on what appears to be their final tour as a band.

Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann put together his Billy and The Kids project back in 2014 for Warren Haynes’ Christmas Jam and while the band played a smattering of shows over the next two years they hadn’t played together since 2016 when the took to a Hawaiian lawn in May for a pair of live-streamed show to celebrate the legendary drummer’s 75th birthday. Joining original “Kids” Tom Hamilton, Reed Mathis, and Aron Magner for these shows was Billy Strings on guitar, and James Casey on Sax. The shows were an overwhelming success and it came as a welcome surprise when Red Rocks announced a pair of concerts with the same powerhouse line-up.

The line wound well down Colfax long before doors opened on Friday and while it was unseasonably warm, guys were warming up their ladies, and winter finery abounded as fans waited patiently for the doors of The Ogden to open. From 20-something hipsters, to gray bearded veterans of the scene, it was clear that Nathaniel Rateliff’s popularity in Denver doesn’t follow any strict demographic lines and that he delights listeners from all walks of life. What a treat it was to see this powerful band on their home court in the heart of Denver where they have played so many times before.

Lotus and Late Night Radio brought a fiercely funky mood to the Fillmore Auditorium for the sold-out “Dead Man’s Party” on Halloween. The line to enter the venue meandered around the block and it took more than a few anxious minutes for the masses get inside. The desperation was highly evident as hoards of zombies showed up seeking entrance to the labyrinth without tickets. Once inside the packed barn the atmosphere was vibrant. Donning an animal mask and dancing in neon lights can only be this special on Halloween night.

For days, months even, before this show Facebook feeds all over town had been crackling with posts about D’Angelo from a “Who’s Who” of the Denver music community. From members of The Motet, to Analog Son, to Atomga, the whole scene was on pins and needles, just itching for show day to come. When the dust settled and the room had cleared D’Angelo had delivered what was easily one of the best performances of the year and a show that exploded into many fans “best of all time” lists.

As the sun went down with one last blustery gasp and Red Rocks filled to capacity, there was an electricity in the air despite the fact that the crowd was all beer and joints. But Beck and his band were a different story. They came out of the gate with a kick, opening with the rollicking classic “Devil’s Haircut,” and it was all energy and shenanigans from there as the band rocketed around the stage like flying monkeys on amphetamines for much of the night. Three words: Bottle and Cans.

An air of mystical excitement filled Red Rocks on Friday the 13th. The curious date was met with another peculiar happening: a full moon, a combo which won’t be seen again until 2049. All of this made for a fantastic yet somewhat eerie mood within the crowd. Put it together with the enchanting Electronic World Dance music of Thievery Corporation at the world famous venue Red Rocks and what do you get? “It’s going to be spiritual,” I heard one guy say. His prediction was spot-on.

Vintage Trouble and Gov’t Mule shared the stage at The Ogden last week in front of a packed house of Southern boys, grizzled bikers and a smattering of hippies. It was the opener who left puddles of sweat on-stage as they served up vintage Blues, Rock and Soul with a fervor that is seldom equaled these days, but Warren Haynes and his band earned points for consistency as they delivered two monster sets of Rock and Blues that showcased the immense talent on stage.
