The Nth Power: A New Orleans Love Story
Soul music is born of spirit and the Nth Power creates spirited sounds straight from their souls. This “super-group” of a band is made of some of the best in the business, and every member is now prioritizing the once side-project. Not only is the band creating beautiful sounds, they are pulling on heart strings with some of the most passionate soul-music to have ever been made…and that is no exaggeration. According to co-founder Nigel Hall, this is more than a band, it’s home.

Phish – August 29th – Dick’s Sporting Goods Park
Magic was in the air as Phish returned to Denver to kick off their fourth, summer closing, Labor Day weekend run at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. With the Friday night tradition of word play all but a guarantee, anticipation levels were high and the energy was palpable. Walking into the 26,000 person stadium you could feel the excitement and it was obvious from the get go that this would be another Dicks run to remember. When the evening came to a close fans went home happy knowing that they had seen something special.

Trey Anastasio Band – January 28th – Ogden Theatre
The Ogden was packed to the rafters with veteran fans last week when Phish frontman Trey Anastasio and his Funk fueled band opened their Winter Tour in Denver with a pair of shows. Though the first set was a bit flat and lacked many of the funky horn driven rockers that TAB shows are known for, the second set more than made up for it with some phenomenal song pairing, a debut cover, and a monster three song encore that concluded with a raging “First Tube.”

Mike Doughty – October 29th – Twist & Shout
There have been many in-stores at Twist & Shout over the years. Some, like Trey Anastasio and String Cheese Incident, were more or less ticketed affairs that saw lines stretch around the block and scalpers get top-dollar for wristbands. Others, like Tuesday’s intimate acoustic set with Mike Doughty, are much more mellow, laid back events. Though it only lasted 30 minutes, the ten song set showcased Doughty then and now and satisfied the hardcore fans in attendance.

Phish – August 30th – Dick’s Sporting Goods Park
For the third year in a row, Phish closed out their summer tour with a three night stand at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Expectation levels were high after the previous two runs churned out arguably six of the best shows by the band since their return in the spring of 2009. Anticipation was heightened on Friday after the “S” and “Fuck Your Face” shows to kick off the 2011 and 2012 Dick’s runs showcased the band’s affinity for novelty and their ability to deliver top-notch performances with tongues placed firmly in cheek. Phish did not disappoint.

Phish – 8/31, 9/1, 9/2 – Dick’s Sporting Goods Park
So, let’s get this out of the way right off the bat, was Phish’s Friday night show at Dick’s the “best Phish show of the 3.0 era?” We’re not sure how it possibly could have been. Yes it had it’s moments, mostly due to the shenanigans of nodding to last year’s “S” show by spelling out “FUCK YOUR FACE” with the setlist, but overall the show was pretty uneven musically. It just didn’t flow like the other two nights of the run that featured some of the most fluid sets we’ve heard out of this band in years.

Trey Anastasio & The Colorado Symphony – February 28th – Boettcher Concert Hall
Trey Anastasio’s orchestral tour stopped in Denver last night for a memorable performance with The Colorado Symphony. Whether Trey does this kind of thing again once, or a hundred more times in the future, it was a truly memorable and unique experience. A great room, great fans, and great music made for a pretty amazing night that won’t soon be forgotten
