Hall & Oates – September 12th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 2 min read

Daryl Hall & John Oates performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre last Monday was one of the most intimate performances on their summer schedule. The Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame inductees packed the Rocks with vigorous fans wanting a hit parade performance that few can do like Hall & Oates. The sold-out show was filled with a largely middle aged audience who, despite not being familiar with the supporting acts, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings followed by Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, totally went crazy during each set.

Estimated read time 6 min read

Last Saturday night at Red Rocks could have been the most perfect night on The Rocks all season. The beautiful late summer day gave way to evening that was just on the right side of chilly and the steps were filled with music fans of all ages. There were veteran rockers on hand to witness Grace Potter’s 70’s leaning Rock stylings; there were hipsters with an open ear for opener Lake Street Dive and their Jazzy brand of Folk-Pop; one thing was for sure, everyone knew this was a monster triple bill.

The crowd never stopped moving as the high-energy band moved through perhaps two dozen songs.

Last week, the Chicago Soul powerhouse of JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound rolled into The Larimer Lounge for the second time this year and while this show didn’t pack quite the punch of their April throw-down, it did showcase Brooks’ amazing stage presence and vocal prowess as the group plowed through a 90 minute set for a modest school night crowd. The band seamlessly segued from banging dance numbers to soulful slow jams and Brooks never slowed the constant patter of witty and fast paced banter between songs.
