In this day and age it’s not very often that you get to ride on a coal fired, steam powered train through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. It’s even less often that the train carries some of the best Blues and Zydeco acts in the country, each performing in their own vintage coach car. If this sounds like a dream to you that’s because it is, but one that has been realized through The Durango Blues Train and the folks who bring you The Telluride Blues & Brews Festival.

The sweet smell of Colorado’s newest legal herb hung in the air outside The Paramount last Thursday night as hundreds of Deadheads milled around under the marquee with fingers in the air hoping to score a ticket at the last minute. Bob Weir and Jackie Greene were in town and they delivered a three set show that was heavy on Bob Dylan material and, though it showcased a bit of Weir’s uneven side, everyone still left with a big smile on their face.

Last Thursday, the Red Hot Chili Peppers finally made it to Denver to play the show that was rescheduled from way back in March when Anthony Kiedis was forced to have surgery on his foot. While guitarist Josh Klinghoffer was the one in a foot cast this time around, the show went on as planned and by all accounts they rocked The Can with a monster show that fans had been waiting a long time for. While reports were that the room sounded pretty good, the energy was diluted a bit without a sweaty crush of bodies pressing up against the stage.

A rough and raw acoustic power house, The Devil Makes Three brought their unique Bluegrass hybrid to the very packed Larimer Lounge this past weekend. The show read “Sold Out” on the website for weeks and the Facebook event page and Craigslist alike were littered with ticket requests. It would suffice to say that a larger venue is in order the next time these guys stop in Denver.
