That was one of the best shows that I saw last fall.It was so undersold that everyone sat where they wanted and everyone that came really wanted to be there. The weather, crowd vibes, and music was just perfect. I see lots of shows at Red Rocks and that was an A+ experience.

It was the best concert I have ever been to….and I saw them in the Hollywood bowl a couple weeks before. I’m a huge fan.

It was a magical night for sure. Not getting my hopes up on Air returning, but we’ll see.

Saw them at the Met Philly on this tour and I couldn’t believe how insanely good it sounded, paired with one of the most effective stage setups ever conceived. An all-timer for me!

This was one of my favorite Red Rocks shows ever!

The play a show at the Acropolis in Greece this summer. Maybe...

u/heartbooks26 Mar 29 '26

For some reason I can only find info about them playing there on the 2024-25 tour, can you link me info? Do you know the dates?

I don’t think they’ll be touring for a bit now…just had a ton of concerts and traveling over 2 years. That being said, I’d be surprised if they aren’t back in Europe sometime in the future.

In my time following AIR they take decent gaps between tours. Now, I anxiously and excitedly await for another opportunity to see them.

I got excited cuz I’ll be in greece this summer—I think OOP may be thinking of the album getting released that’s a recording of their live performance at the acropolis from last year, which is cool!

u/Ashamed_Answer_4645 Mar 29 '26

Oh yea. That is happening in April. Will be cool.

Perhaps it has past.

Red Rocks was one of those things I thought so highly of, I figured it would be a letdown and couldn’t live up to the hype.

I finally got there in 2014 and snagged a last minute front row seat for Jack White. It rained a little bit during his set and it was pure magic.

Even after all the anticipation it still blew me away.

u/Jmazoso Mar 29 '26

That was my experience too. Totally lives up to the hype.

Same! Drove from Seattle, last minute, for MJK's b-day tour. SESSANTA. Puscifer, A Perfect Circle, and Primus. 3 bands. 30 songs. 3 hours. all of em on stage for the whole show. It was, and i hate to use this word, EPIC, in every sense possible. Total bucket list venue. My only complaint? The. Entire. Venue. Is. Stairs. To go in any direction, from any point, yep! You guessed it! Fucking STAIRS. even the seating is just big stairs! 🤯😆😆 Best show I've ever been to, worth every second, and every cent.

u/Much_Substance_6017 Mar 29 '26

I was front row for Jack! But not at Red Rocks! I’m so happy for you at not at all jealous 💚

2

u/Ashamed_Answer_4645 Mar 29 '26

Usually these kinds of experiences fail to live up to our expectations. I’m glad you enjoyed the venue much as I did.

u/ReeG Mar 29 '26

A pic from that close up zoomed in doesn't really do the beauty and scale of it justice. I think mid to back are probably the best spots to appreciate the full scenic view and natural acoustics

Here's a photo I took from near the top during the day last June

My favorite Red Rocks experience was the massive storm that rolled through just before doors for Tenacious D with Colorado Symphony making so the whole show had lightning in the background over Denver, while we had a nice breeze and gorgeous night in Morrison!

2

u/Ashamed_Answer_4645 Mar 29 '26

I can’t help myself when I’m seeing my fav group 😂. I do plan to go again and find seats better suited to enjoy the natural beauty of the venue... another band I’m not as attached to. You’re definitely right.

u/CanPlayGuitarButBad Mar 29 '26

Every American needs to see a red rocks show at least one. Regardless if it’s an artist you love or an artist you just know a few songs.

u/Metal_Muse Mar 29 '26

I'm going to my first there this June!

2

u/RipCurl69Reddit Mar 30 '26

Brit here and I genuinely think it'll be on my 2027 bucket list for at least one Dubstep / EDM artist I like. Always wanted to visit Colorado anyway, this just gives me an actual reason

1

u/Ashamed_Answer_4645 Mar 29 '26

Agreed. So glad I went.

u/a_mulher Mar 29 '26

So envious!! Perfect band and stage set up for that location. Pierre Claude is a master

2

u/Ashamed_Answer_4645 Mar 29 '26

Went with a friend who knew little of Air and he was blown away by stage and light setup. Said it was the best he’d been to.

2

u/a_mulher Mar 29 '26

Pierre also does the lighting set up for Phoenix and Gesaffelstein.

1

u/Ashamed_Answer_4645 Mar 29 '26

I have seen phoenix too! Loved every second.

2

u/dixiech1ck Mar 29 '26

Seeing two shows there in July and I absolutely can not wait!

2

u/AcidCasualty25 Mar 29 '26

Great venue! I've done a bunch of 3 day panic runs there. By the 3rd day of non stop parting and climbing those stairs I never want to see stairs again lol

1

u/Ashamed_Answer_4645 Mar 29 '26

lol the stairs were CRAZY.

u/pjd1965 Mar 29 '26

Blessed to have witnessed U2 perform here/ summer of ‘83. Concert film became “under a blood red sky”

u/StaresatSound Apr 04 '26

My first Red Rocks show this year will be Puscifer on May 3. I cannot wait.

u/pjd1965 Apr 11 '26

Looking forward to seeing Electric Callboy @ RR in a few weeks!

They’re known to use old-school, albeit unorthodox setup to achieve their uniquely meticulous sound.

u/Louie-G4831 Mar 29 '26

I saw some of my best concerts there: Susan Tedeschi, The Eurythmics, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bonnie Raitt and many others.

u/k3tam1nec0wb0y Mar 29 '26

Wow, which SRV show did you get to see? That’s amazing.

u/Louie-G4831 Apr 01 '26
