Denver’s own Pepsi Center hosted newly inducted Rock and Roll Hall of famers Rush on their 2013 Clockwork Angels Tour last week. If the venue wasn’t sold out, it sure looked like it was as every seat for as far as the eye could see was occupied. Whether it was the seasoned, gray haired, Rush faithful, the under 10 crowd that came to the show with their parents, or everyone aged in-between, everyone was treated to a stellar performance by one of the greatest Rock Bands of all time.

Rise Against – September 24th – The Fillmore Auditorium

Estimated read time 4 min read

On a rainy Monday night last week, Rise Against assaulted a roomful of rabid fans at The Fillmore with a sound that straddled the line between Metal and Alterative. They blasted the crowd with images of political symbolism on giant LED screens and lead singer Tim McIlrath kept the crowd in the palm of his hand as he used the entire stage to dance, jump, and scream. Was it really a true “Punk” show? We aren’t so sure about that, but there is no doubt it was a high quality concert extravaganza!
