There are some bands that seem to have a special connection with certain venues, and My Morning Jacket is one of them. The Kentucky quintet has been playing at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre since 2006, and each time they return, they deliver a show that is nothing short of spectacular. Their latest appearance, on a warm and clear summer night, was no exception.

Last Tuesday saw one of the summer’s hottest double bills hit Red Rocks Amphitheatre for the first of two nights. The weather was just about perfect, and The Rocks were full to the brim with fans of both Beck and Phoenix.

The girls of boygenius are no strangers to the stage. Although still in their twenties, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus have been writing music and playing shows since their teens. All three artists have performed in front of Colorado fans since 2016, gracing stages at the likes of Lost Lake Lounge, Globe Hall, Bluebird Theatre, The Ogden, Mission Ballroom, and Red Rocks. Then, in 2018 that they joined as a band; united by a love for each other’s music coupled with their disgust with how “women in music” were defined and pitted against each other.

Suffice it to say that the buzz around King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard (or Gizz as the kids say) is justified. In addition to an incredibly prolific studio output, these guys simply bring it in the live setting. The energy that pours off the stage is nothing short of mind-blowing and the crowd gives it right back to them. It’s a cycle that obviously propels both the band and the audience to a very special place.

True to their word, over the course of three hours, the band played songs from no less than 15 albums dating all the way back to their 2012 debut 12 Bar Bruise with well over half the material having been released before the pandemic. It was truly an incredible show and one that cemented this band’s place on the Red Rocks schedule for years to come I would imagine

At this point in my concert going career, it’s fairly rare for me to go to Red Rocks to see a band for the first time. A few years ago I saw my first Stevie Wonder show at Red Rocks, my one and only Van Halen show was at Red Rocks and so was my only Lionel Richie experience. I’m sure there have been others but the list is short. So, when The War on Drugs, a band I’ve been chasing since at least 2016, announced their Red Rocks debut I didn’t care that it was a Monday night. I made it my business to get there.

It’s always a treat to catch Wilco anywhere, but Red Rocks (or “Rust Rocks” as Jeff Tweedy said was a little more appropriate) makes it that much more special. With the incomparable Margo Price handling opening duties, this was an incredible night on The Rocks!

This past weekend at Red Rocks was a perfect example about why there are those of us music fans who insist on seeing more than one show in row by certain bands. I have friends who look at me a little funny when I say I’m going to see a band twice or three times in a span of three or four days, and I have friends that give me that knowing look and are right beside me in line for the best space on each night. These latter friends get it, they are chasing “that show” too. They know that just because the Friday night show was good, it doesn’t mean that Saturday won’t be better.

Widespread Panic played their 65th consecutive sold-out show at Red Rocks last Saturday and set a new record for the venue – a record they smash every time they play the joint – they may well be the kings of Red Rocks! Many surprises were in store for the audience this night, it started with a dry show despite the ominous forecast of heavy rain, then we were treated to a sit-in from tour manager Steve Lopez, a pair of Talking Heads tunes late in the second set, and finally a three song encore. No one left disappointed.

It’s always a treat to welcome Widespread Panic back to Colorado, but their annual stand at Red Rocks is something special. Celebrating their 64th, 65th, and 66th consecutive sellouts, the band deserves their own banner in the rafters…errrr wait…anyway…they deserve something special. Instead they served us something special on Friday when they delivered a crowd pleasing set of favorites that left some scratching their heads wondering what was left on the table for the rest of the weekend.
