07/30 - Red Rocks - Morrison, CO - Post-Show Discussion and Review

[Hicks]

Super solid tour opener last night, with Stash and Ghost being the obvious highlights.

RR is fahking AMAZING, I hate to say it but it really does pwn the Gorge

Looks like today is going to be perfect weather after it was a little chilly last night.

Wilson opener tonight, and I'm calling a big Gin too!

Oh yeah, Page was a little low in the mix from the PA, hopefully they turn him up a bit tonight.

Set 2 was stellar. That ghost was superb. Mike's groove was nice and tight. They seemed a bit nervous for set 1. But after introducing MR Gordon twice to start set 2 it was on. They were pretty tight and excited for that set 2. THREE MORE!!!!!!!!

I def. like the way that Stash moves.

Like the picture of the little man sporting the cape.

I'm not a big Dave Vann fan, but here are his pictures from last night.  Page looks super goofy in one about halfway down.

I do like the last two pics in that series... Nice fairly uncluttered stage w/ the band and not much else but phat jams...

[jedifunk]

my quick .02....

STASH = inspired!

mikes was hot lots for sure, don't be fooled... but the ghost > wolfmans was DEEP!  like 98 style... for real... there was funk, rock, some good spacey shit...

page was laying down the spacey essences... just good stuff all around.. if you liked alpine, this was an upgrade!

[Bobafett]

i've only listened through Poor Heart, but the sound quality is much better, i think.  Also, the Wedge was pretty right on, not that its a hard song to play, but you could feel the band was really enjoying their time back in God's country.  Now, back to work.  gotta put them ribs on boy!

[WhatstheUse?]

HOT DAMN! I've only listened to D-Sky so far, but I'm loving these reviews coming in!

I also agree that the LP SBDs are def sounding much better than the 1st leg!

WOOHOO!

[redrum]

overall a very solid show that we thoroughly enjoyed from top to bottom.
it left me feeling confident that this leg will start to feel more like THE PHISH.

got some great pics and flipvideo to share but our hotel internet is too slow.
stay tuned..

Cool.  It sucks your wifi is slow.  Is this the 21st century?!

I'm just getting started (only on Ocelot), but I definitely agree with the comments about the LPs sounding better. 

Can't wait to hear this Stash and Ghost.
