One of the best shows I've been to in a very long time...and that is despite some of the worst weather I've sat through for a concert ever! All the songs were great... including the new songs and a few lesser played older songs! The new song 'Spike Island' was a standout and fit right in with their classics like 'Common People' and 'Disco 2000.' I wasn't familiar with the deep cut 'Sunrise', but it was a standout part of that show, and I've listened to it again and again since then. The background video component of the show was awesome, and Jarvis really made the most of the stage and video backdrop, and his silhouette against the video was key moment in several songs. The band played great and Jarvis even played some acoustic guitar during at least one song. My only complaint was that 'Help the Aged' was somewhat abbreviated and sped up, which left it lacking. If it was too long a song in its original format, it might have been better to play a different classic song (maybe Razzmatazz, which they didn't play). Still, altogether one of the best shows I've seen in a long while. Very happy to have braved the bad weather!
I've seen this band probably 10 times, a couple times when I lived in Orlando Florida and several times at Red rocks, these guys never fail to deliver, if you ask me these guys are better than led Zeppelin themselves when it comes to performing live, although I never saw led Zeppelin live, I have seen enough footage to know that only four guys on stage cannot produce the sound that you hear on the albums, however if you go to see this band you will hear all of the sounds that produce the albums because these guys bring extra musicians that are ultra professional, can't say enough about these guys anybody that's a led Zeppelin fan should go see them
Danny Elfman is METAL 🤘
Like most fans of Tim Burton's movies, I'm also a huge fan of the man who gives those films such iconic scores. Hearing his music live at one of the most amazing venues, Red Rock Amphitheatre in Colorado, made the experience so much more memorable. The Colorado Symphony did an incredible job of bringing all of Elfman's creations to light in such spectacular fashion. I also enjoyed how they showed clips of the movies that each score came from, as well as shots of Burton's original art concepts of some of his most famous characters. Mr.Elfman himself made an appearance near the last portion of the show to show off his singing chops and he was most excellent.
Considering that Tim Burton and Danny Elfman are big names in the Goth/Metal community, it almost felt like I was at a metal concert 🤣. I felt right at home with the rest of my freak brethren there. 💀💀
Honestly, The show was a little disappointing. This is the 2nd time I’ve seen ILLENIUM at Red Rocks. The first show was amazing. He played so many of HIS own songs & I remember feeling so emotional & uplifted even weeks after the concert. This recent show didn’t leave me feeling that way. He played too many headbangers & although I don’t mind that style of music it was just overboard. We fall in love with ILLENIUM’s music because the vocals are so emotional & tug at your heart so it was just a little disappointing that he didn’t play most of his songs that people love & enjoy singing along to. He is still my favorite DJ but I just hope that his future shows aren’t overboard with the headbanger songs.
Wiz Khalifa's concert was straight fire! The energy in the crowd was electric from the moment he stepped onto the stage. He performed all his biggest hits, including "See You Again," "The Thrill," " We Dem Boyz," "No Sleep," "Black and Yellow," "Roll up," and "Young, Wild & Free." Wiz's charisma and stage presence are undeniable - he had the crowd hyped from start to finish. The setlist was perfectly curated, with a great mix of old and new tracks that kept everyone dancing and singing along. If you're a fan of Wiz, you know what to expect - an unforgettable night of fun, music, and good vibes. 10/10 would recommend!
Still buzzing from that night… Seeing Skrillex at Red Rocks Amphitheatre was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.
There’s a reason Red Rocks is considered one of the most iconic venues on Earth: it’s not just a concert space, it’s a natural cathedral carved into the Colorado landscape. Surrounded by towering red sandstone cliffs under an open sky, the sound doesn’t just hit your ears, it echoes through your whole body.
For 5 hours straight, Skrillex turned that ancient rock into a pulsing, electric dreamscape. The energy, the visuals, the crowd, the full moon rising during the concert… it was surreal. A perfect fusion of nature and bass.
If music is a religion, Red Rocks is the temple.
And that night, Skrillex was the high priest.
Grateful. Euphoric. Changed.
Well to be honest, I was sad. I had brought a box of gifts and I couldn't get anyone to help me and I asked alot of people. Did tailgating but no one showed to grab your gifts. You don't know, it could be all porn or builda bears. I laughed so hard it did hurt my incisions. I was 6 inches from you and didn't say anything because you never even looked at or acknowledged me at all. Which with chair was 1 reason I got from row. But between sweet Cory and all the rude people , we got nothing, not even I got your little gift. I lov3 you to death, but that was a bit much for me. I cried myself to sleep because I'd been saving and waiting over a year and it blew up in my face.

It was my first time to see for King + Country. It was a true blessing and prayer delivered! I also wanted to go to the Red Rocks Amphitheater and God brought them together immediately after I downloaded the apps from both Bandsintown & the Red Rocks app. It was so beautiful! I was beyond amazed and enjoyed every moment spent there! I brought my sister from Tucson Arizona and I came in from Seattle WA. I will be going back to the Red Rocks again in the future with my husband who has never been there before. I will be keeping up with the concert venues to find my next visit. Thank you to for King + Country for coming to the Red Rocks! The whole experience was beyond amazing! I’ve been to several concerts since 1984 this is by far the best sound set and natural beauty in all I’ve experienced! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ across the board! Highly recommend!!!
I knew it would probably be a good show, considering it was their last show; and I have no doubt they wanted to go out with a bang. ...They definitely delivered and blew me away. Once again, You Guys Killed It. I'll definitely miss you all; but Thank You, With All My Heart, for all your work. The smiles you've given me, and energy you always delivered, your creativity, and for helping me through so many areas in my lifetime. Deryck is only 5 years older than I am, so... in a way... I'm happy we could grow up together. 🥰 May fortune continue to smile on you all as you continue you're journey.
What an amazing show! They played with huge energy for over two hours! There was some classic Sammy, tons of Van Halen songs including some that were pre-Sammy. Joe Satriani covered the songs well and performed "Satch Boogie" while Hagar took a break. They did one song from Montrose - "Space Station #5" that I was not very familiar with.
Sammy handed out cups of Tequila during the warm up to Mas Tequila. And went to the rail in front of the stage and was high-fiving and hugging people during "When It's Love".
At one point Sammy said something like - can you feel it, can you feel that, that invisible energy that's here? in a reference to Eddie. And at the start of "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" Mikey said "This one's for Eddie"
If you're on the fence about going - GO. You will not be disappointed.
The show was awesome, Nas killed it with the song selection and his performance was excellent! The two things that weren't all that great were the lights and the sound mixing. They had these super bright lights on stage facing the crowd that were basically blinding at times, had no idea why they would make lights not face down on the stage and face them in the eyes of the crowd, that was dumb. And when the orchestra was playing it was very hard to hear the beat and even the rhythm was hard to make it at times. I understand that mixing the sound of dozens of instruments must be extremely challenging but you think they would have time to rehearse that beforehand? All in all it was a great show but I couldn't hear the music that well for half of the show.
I see a lot of shows, so please know that I don't say this lightly - this was the best show I've ever been to.
Tobe Nwigwe was perfect. I have no doubt that he's going to blow up in the next few years and start selling out arenas, so I feel very lucky to have gotten to see him here, in a smaller venue and a setting that feels a little bit magical. He has a charming stage presence and makes smart, interesting choices with his music. His energy was electric. If the show ended here I would have still been so moved by what I saw that I would have put it in a top 3 all time best shows list.
But then Nas. Holy shit. The arrangements were beautiful, the conductor and CSO absolutely brought it, and Nas just spit fire the entire time. His breath control and energy level would have been impressive at sea level but up here they were god-tier. And speaking of gods - between the setting and the show it felt like I was watching one of the GOATS perform for the old gods. I felt so lucky just to be here.
I will think about this show for the rest of my life. What an honor to be present. What a show.
The only way it would have been better is if I had my pre-multiple sclerosis mobility.
But the limitation provided accessibility accommodations better than I have had at ANY venue except my house.
My visibility was unobstructed. There was a chair with a back on it. THERE WAS A DESIGNATED BATHROOM!!!!!! and water refill station. Two in our party have bladder/bowel issues. This limitation usually causes much of any event or venue to be missed just for lengthy trips to find a restroom and then wait in the line.
A free tee shirt, signed by the band would have made it better. The much lines were too long to stand in.
My address if you do have any commemorative merch to send or want more review of the two improvements I can see.

This is my 6th time seeing Kaleo and I was underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, I thought the show was good, but the bar was set the last time at Red Rocks. There were back up singers who were fantastic and the vibe was so much stronger at that one. I still love the band, but I was a little disappointed with the energy compared to the year before with the back ups. Outside of their homeland and maybe a festival where they are the back up, Red Rocks is probably the most people they play in front of that came specifically for them. Also, I was underwhelmed with the backup band both at Dillon and Red Rocks. I was bored with both. Great vocals but at least give us some drums for a beat I can get into. Ballads are boring and that's all I heard at both concerts. I'm a huge fan.
Nile Rodgers and Chic were absolutely amazing! So many songs he has written and produced that many fans weren't aware of! Not only did they play what we would expect to hear, but so many other famous toe-tapping tunes! What a way to start the evening!
Then came Bastille... and honestly, I only knew of them through others... but I very much enjoyed their set, as well, and will be looking up their music to download. What a treat they were!
Finally, Duran Duran comes down in a virtual spaceship and blew everyone away! Followed by "Hungry Like the Wolf" and a host of other 80s hits, intermingled with later music and their newest soon-to-be hits, the musical talent and showmanship is unrivaled. And to say that they haven't missed a beat is an understatement! Not one note was in error. Everything was spectacular, and I can only say that I hope they were recording for a future live video release!
Ultimately, Red Rocks is the absolute best venue in the world! This was my first time to visit, and it did NOT disappoint! Even the 15-minute rain shower couldn't dampen anyone's spirits!
All in all, the entire experience was one not to be forgotten, and it never will be!
Jackson came out "on time", like he always does, with a fantastic smile and telling the audience how happy he and the band are to be at Red Rocks on the last night of his tour and that he and the band have "saved" special energy to really put on a special show.
He sounds AMAZING, just like he sounded in his early days, and he shared comments like, "this next song is 50 years old"! He played his Heart out and sang so perfect, like the perfectionist that he has always been. What a true blessing for me to be in his presence and "soak in" the meaning of his words in all his iconic songs and listen to his comments on why he wrote the particular song that he was playing next!
He truly is a First Class Songwriter and Artist and I'm truly Blessed to feel the "soulful" experience listening to him sing "Live", and watch his emotions of Joy that he expressed with his love for performing.
The show itself was amazing, Turnpike Troubadours never disappoint! However the seating was very confusing. General admission and assigned seating was sold for the show. But there was not signage or any direction for either. We ended up sitting in the wrong area and one of the attendants that was working the show helped us clarify and she explained that is was very confusing, was not marked well, and others were confused as well. When we moved to the correct area there was no where to sit or stand. We had to squeeze in a very small area. I've been to red rocks a decent amount of times and this is the first disappointing time. I do look forward to seeing more shows there, I just hope there is a better way to inform people of the different seating areas.
I didn’t know we would read each other minds and have the same Halloween make up on. Blew my mind with the jewels and blue eye shadow, because I don’t hardly ever do my make up. 🤯 paid $224 for a single seat “pretty sure I was the only human that went by myself” and traveled 11 almost 12 hours to the Red Rocks from Winslow, Arizona with me, myself and I, to see the opening concert for These Things Happen Too!!! I loved it. Next stop is hopefully Vegas on the 29th because I have to drive that way anyways. Maybe we will catch each other on the highway to hell, or sin city. Whatever works 🤔 🤣🤣 rumors have it G is paying in Tucson, if that’s a fact I’ll be there also 💪🏻✌🏻
My first time seeing Anderson East. He was AWESOME. Very surprised. We traveled from STL to see The Revivalists. Michael was just an added nugget to a great concert.
I had tickets to see him here in the Lou at a very small venue called the Sheldon with Foy Vance.
They ended up canceling due to Foy having a personal tragedy. We were able to see The Revivalists again here on March 10th at The Pageant. 2 days later their tour was shut down by COVID.
Anderson East was to be in June I think and would have been canceled.
Can't wait to see him again. Get his Alive in Tennessee. Great CD!!!
