Red Rocks: Nature's perfect music stage

Oh my God, it's beautiful

Lucille we like ice skating. Can you change the weather

👏👏👏 Wow, now Red Rocks Amphitheater is officially on my bucket list.

The best venue I have ever seen a concert at. Something really special about the place. Going back a few times this year.

Unfortunately, I've never been to Red Rocks, but it seems almost magical based upon everything I've heard. Since I don't know much about music venues, why haven't more of the "big name" rock groups played there? Is it not big enough or cost-effective (for their egos)? I would think most music groups would do about anything to say they've performed there, but then again, I know very little about the music industry.

I grew up over the hill from Red Rocks, within hiking distance. "Back in the day", my brothers and friends and I hiked there, and at that time you could crawl up the crevasse to the opening that looks over the seats. It's now fenced off. I saw scores of concerts at Red Rocks when I got older. It's the most magical place on earth to see a concert. And my one claim to fame is that when I was 13 I got to help set up the Beatles equipment on their for their first American tour. It was the only venue not sold out. Go figure.

Going for first time in June. So pumped!

So amazing . Gotta go catch a concert there soon. What a beautiful place .

This is the place where U2 became superstars.

Most beautiful venue on earth I'm glad it's in my backyard :)

Any Red Rocks story that doesen't mention the blastoff of U2's career after playing there is an incomplete story. I DID like hearing how CCC built the venue.

I want to go see a concert at red rocks someday. I found out one of my favorite Christian bands MercyMe will be performing there October 17!!!

I’ve lived about 20 miles away from this beautiful, majestic place my entire life. It is easily the most energetic, spiritual place I’ve ever been to on the planet.

One time I went to see TOOL at Red Rocks…I took 2 hits of some very potent LSD, 1/2 half eighth of shrooms, had a few hits from a joint and maybe a few sips from this mixed drink and I SWEAR!!!.. I was in heaven.

I don’t know how to quite describe the feeling I achieved.. but it was something that I honestly feel a very small percentage of people have ever achieved on the planet!!

It was so profound it literally changed my entire life.

I felt something that night that shaped my entire destiny and ever since I’ve still been on the pursuit of…

I’m still in the “creation process” of the idea that came to me that night.

Other than a few pivotal moments in my childhood,

..or the birth of my daughter..

this night would go down as one of the most life changing events to occur in my life.

Just saw Los Lobos/Tedeski Trucks 7-30-22⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun Fabulous Show. . My First show at Red Rocks was Joe Walsh in 1981, when the entire venue was GA.

Red Rocks have hosted a summertime seasonal event called Music on the Rocks since 1968. First to play in 1968 was Jimmy Hendricks. (I was not there.) For me, the lasting memory was Reggae on the Rocks. In the 1990s, I had the opportunity to see Burning Spear play. It was truly magical. There was lightning and thunder, and plumes of smoke of the Reggae kind deep into the night, Denver glowing far below. Magical!

The Indians were driven out, I wonder by whom?

My wife and I finally made it to a concert at Red Rocks last Sunday night. We saw the Avett Brother’s, one of our favorite bands. What a glorious experience. This venue is so special. The weather was perfect and the music was terrific. We can’t wait to go back for another concert.

My wife and I went t oRed Rocks (It's close to home) to see Buddy Guy...

About middle of his show, storm clouds were building over Denver.

By the time they got to us and the drops began falling, he broke into "It feels like Rain'!
It was surreal!!!
Never missed a beat, and what a great show!!!

Marc Rebillet is comming November 30 baby!!!!
Get ready 🔥

I happily work at Red Rocks. We entertain with more than just great concerts. We are sold out for most shows, including movie nights. Billions of years in the making, it never gets old. ROCK ON!

Widespread Panic has 66 consecutive sold out shows

nice place but its cursed from some of the activities taking place there especially after harming the indians that had the area before being driven out having their land stolen from them.

Never heard of this place before but it sounds like a bucket list location.📍🌎

I just hope that all that bass and vibration that is absorbed by the rocks, dosen't cause them to collapse one day during a major venue, causing hundreds of casualties!....

String cheese is such an incredible band.

I’m a Denver native and have been seeing shows at Redrocks since the late 1970s. Here are the shows I’ve seen:
Barry Manilow, Doobie Brothers, Sting (2x), Spyro Gyra, Grateful Dead (2x), Crosby, Stills, & Nash (2x), Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Lyle Lovett, Idena Menzel, Colorado Symphony, Stevie Wonder, Bela’ Fleck, Yo Yo Ma, an a few others that I may be forgetting. I’ve never seen a bad concert at Red Rocks. It’s truly magical.

It's so pretty

Back in ‘03-‘05 I worked for Argus event staffing. Unfortunately I never did take the chance to work at red rocks but I could have. Looks like a pretty neat place.

String cheese baby !!

Id be afraid of the extreme volume levels to not cause a landslide.

String cheese quartet had a run in with the law and told the sherif that there was string cheese in the bag instead of pot. That's how they got the name supposedly

I dream of having the chance to attend a show or even perform here someday. Beautiful!

Great story but how did CBS not mention, U2’s legendary, rain soaked, epic “Under A Blood Red Sky” concert?! Big miss. Speaking of which, 2023 will be the “40th” anniversary of this historic concert. I’m hoping that U2 will return on June 5th to play and celebrate this momentous anniversary!

Red Rocks, The Gorge & Jones Beach on bucket list for a concert

I’ve been going to Red Rocks since the early 60’s, fortunate to have seen so many legends of music play there. It’s a magical place.

not a black person in sight

Just saw the Wu Tang here. 🔥 🔥 🔥

Mahboob Or Meri Ek Hi Baat Hoi—10 Saal Ka Bacha Bhi Lolipop Nai Khata..Kya Chodya Chala Raha He Mere Bech Bech Me??

Zane Was Hansta Mota—Ek Chaante Ka Play Tha..Kya Kara???

Can’t wait for Cannons to play tonight

I first heard of Red Rocks when U2 performed there famously in the early 80’s , and I remember Stevie Nicks performing there back in the 80’s as well..

I was born and raised in Golden and Morrison which hosts Red Rocks, it was a magical place to grow up and for us natives it is a sacred treasure

Santa Fe Opera similar experience (except stage gives a bit of reverb from highway thanks to recently built native casino next door).

Beautiful place! I saw Chicago band, and Sarah McLachlan over there. It was an amazing experience 🙏❤️

A few years back, my husband and I flew out to Denver from the East Coast just to go see James Taylor at Red Rocks. It was a warm summer night under a full moon. One of the best shows I have ever attended. Truly magical.
