A Concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Thursday, June 16th, 2016)

We had a chance to go to a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre with some friends from our kids high school marching band.  The artist that was performing was Devotchka.  We didn't know him or his music, but it's always hard to pass up any concert at Red Rocks. So we put together a dinner and some drinks and met at Steve's brother's house at 5:00.  We were all able to fit into two cars which made it great for parking.  We enjoyed our time tail-gating, waiting for the gates to open.

Then in to the venue we went.  

 Red Rocks was built in 1941 and is celebrating it's 75th anniversary this year.  It is famous for it's beautiful unique setting and incredible acoustics.

There are two main entrances to the amphitheatre, one at the top and one at the bottom.  There are vendors and restrooms at both locations, as well as vendors located on the side isles throughout the venue.  There is also handicapped seating at both the top and bottom, but for everyone else, there are lots of stairs.  In fact, a lot of people from the Denver area use Red Rocks as a great work-out facility when nothing else is going on.  You can't beat the setting to take your mind off of the pain!

The seating is really spacious and comfortable.  They allow you to bring blankets to sit on to make it even better.

 There was an artist at the concert, painting his representation of the concert, which we thought was pretty cool.  Steve said that at the end of the concert the painting will be for sale.

And Red Rocks is a great venue for dancing!  There is plenty of room for everyone to have a good time.

It was a great night, with great friends, in one of the most beautiful amphitheatres I've ever been to.  

My first concert at Red Rocks was the Zac Brown Band, and it is a concert that I will never forget.  If you have the chance to attend a concert here, don't pass it up.  It is amazing!
