 | |  |  | Red Rocks: Red Rocks Amphitheatre - Best in the World? | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
Many hail the music scene of Denver. Rightly so - Given it's the largest city (for nearly 1,000 miles in any direction) sitting smack-dab in the middle of the country, Denver is a must-stop for nearly every nationally touring band/musical act.
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.
