One of the most renowned music venues of the world resides 20 minutes from Downtown Denver: Red Rocks Amphitheatre -- Think the 1983 U2 video - "Under a Blood Red Sky".
This NATURAL amphitheatre, deep set into the towering red rocks of Morrison Colorado is as impressive to the eyes as it is to the ears. Thanks to the combination of natural aesthetics and accoustics, Red Rocks was at one time considered one of the Natural Wonders of the World.
The summer concert series is so amazing and diverse that anyone should be able to find a performance of interest. If music isn't your scene, every Monday night (in the summer) - they play a movie at dusk on a big screen on the stage. People bring blankets, wine/beer, for a pleasant evening in an exceptional environment. General admission will treat you just fine.
Beyond the stage, in the distance, are the flat lands of the greater Denver area, and the downtown skyline.
One 4th of July, I saw Blues Traveler at RedRocks. During their performance of "The Mountains Win Again" a lightning storm accompanied them just beyond the stage. Admitably so, I may have enjoyed more than a few beers that night, but I could swear the lightning flashes were synchronized to the band's lyrics.
For out of towners, I reccomend you get there a couple hours early to enjoy the tailgate experience. Even the parking lots are surrounded by majestic settings.
In 1911, Mary Garden was one of the first singers to perform at Red Rocks. Since then, everyone from the Beatles, to U2 to the Greatful Dead, to Willie Nelson have considered it to be one of the most special and magical music venues in the world. Leave a Comment

Red Rocks Park and ampitheatre is located just west of Denver and is one of the most famous outdoor concert venues. The unusual ampitheatre was created from two 300 foot sandstone formations which are supposed to provide incredible sound quality.
In addition to the ampitheatre where concerts and other events are performed, incredible views can be seen from here- extending hundreds of miles on a typically clear day. There is also the Trading Post Loop- a short hiking trail, which give you another chance to explore the park's sandstone formations and fantastic views.
The park iteslf is open to visitors 7 days a week. There is a charge for entering and parking. On event days, which are frequent, the park closes to visitors early.
I can only imagine what it must be like to watch a concert here. The ampithratre has a full schedule of concerts and attracts some of the top bands and musicians. For information about seeing a concert here, visit,www.redrocksonline.com. Leave a Comment Phone: (303) 640-2637Directions: Take I-70 west to the Morrison exit, #259.

If you can only do one thing while you're here, than you must book a concert at Red Rocks. It's THE best place to ever watch a concert(Besides the Gorge in Washington). However, if you're here in winter than I recomend a little town right outside of Denver called Evergreen. Absolutely stunning views and a wonerful bar called Little Bear that gets some of the best damn local music around. Leave a Comment Directions: 10 miles west of downtown

It would have been nicer if I was able to watch a concert there as I believe the rocks provide good acoustics.
It has scenic views of mountain ranges. Prepare to walk uphill and downhill. Leave a Comment

A beautiful area about a half hour outside of Denver. Many concerts are held here - if you ever get a chance, go and see someone perform here - there is nothing like it. Leave a Comment Directions: Off I-70 North heading towards Vail. Just after Golden, CO.

Red Rock Ampatheatre, it's outside and is an incredible site...MUST SEE!
They hold all types of concerts here, there is an area on the rocks above with a cross to signify all those that had died there. Apparently many people thought they could 'fly' after taking some substances. Leave a Comment
