Blunts and beats dominated Red Rocks last Sunday as fans rounded out their 420 weekend with a final session hosted by Snoop Dogg and and his wild crew. Snoop is currently criss-crossing the country on the Mount Kushmore Wellness Retreat tour as he prepares to drop his 15th solo album, Neva Left, and this stop on the tour featured Snoop performing an intertwined set with Wiz Khalifa and Hip-Hop legends Cypress Hill in the support slot.
The whole night was a sing along, especially when Cypress Hill delivered their biggest tunes like “Hits From The Bong” and “Insane in the Membrane;” rarely does the opener own the audience like that. Not to be out done, Snoop took the stage before a lit audience that he embraced as he blazed his blunt and got lifted with them. He immediately got the sold-out crowd singing and shaking with his set opening “Smoke Weed Every Day,” and later his classics like “Gin and Juice.” As was the pattern all night, Wiz took the stage and alternated his biggest tracks like “Bake Sale” and “KK” with Snoop through out the set.
I don’t know if it was the energy of the sold-out show, the stacked line-up of hip-hop titans, the natural electricity that Red Rocks injects into every concert experience, or just the libations…but this was the best summer concert season kick-off I could have hoped for! See you this summer at the Rocks, Denver, game on!
