Vampire Weekend – October 9th – Red Rocks

Estimated read time 3 min read

After a long six years, Vampire Weekend returned to Colorado for two late season Red Rocks show this past week. Wednesday’s show was the second chance for fans to catch live versions from this year’s Father of the Bride, which were featured heavily among a total of 34 songs. The new album and their live shows have garnered comparisons to jam bands, which I’m not sure I completely see, but Wednesday was certainly a new Vampire Weekend compared to the band I had seen on previous tours.
