Panic lore states “never miss a Sunday show” and that proved to be good advice this year! There is just something different about catching a Red Rocks show in the middle of the day, something that feels like vacation. Good vibes and bubbles hung in the air as white fluffy clouds floated across the deep blue sky and The Rocks looked even redder than usual. Sure, it was hot, like mid-90’s hot, but it wasn’t anything a few ice cold beers and some great music couldn’t fix.
