Red Rocks should be on everyones bucket list 2

So, this past weekend i went to my first concert at red rocks. Pretty Lights played his homecoming show at red rocks (being as he's from fort collins) and i got 2 day passes.
i know i cant do justice to the experience with an explanation but hey, i can try a little.
okay first off is the lot. ridiculous. i had a friend who is a local tell me which lot to park in and tailgate in....it was awesome...everyone (for the most part) was mad cool, people were selling test kits and drugs at the same time, it was awesome
second off, the staff....fucking awesome, i ate WAY more L than i should have before the show due to thinking my tolerance was higher than it was, so i was completely spun...i walk up to security with my backpack with a bunch of drugs in it, tripping balls.
the security lady i walked up to was an older (60s) hippie ass chick with long braided hair, she could tell i was completely gone, and you are supposed to have your pockets empty and your bag open...neither of which i had done
so the woman goes through my bag, mainly just pinching it to make sure i didnt have any guns or bombs hidden, after a few minutes of fumbling around with different pockets in the bag i began to become flustered, freaking out thinking i was taking forever holding up the HUGE line behind me (there was no line behind me and 3 other security lanes )
after the bag search i ask if im good, she said just after i pat you down, so i start zipping my backpack up and i feel like im taking 10 mins, so now im really starting to freak out, i dont have anything out of my pockets and i get my bag closed and put it down, she starts patting me down
i had like 15 pockets, she goes through and starts feeling stuff, at this point im apologizing profusely for fucking everything up...she whispers into my ear, "honey its okay, i can tell you're a good person, if i dont know what it is i dont care" she sends me through to get my ticket scanned and im in
the beer vendors who walk around with bins full of beers and drinks are just hippie ass dudes who have been doin it so they can check out free shows for the past like 40 years, they are cool as shit
third is the location...i mean come on, look at this shit



fourth, weed is legal, everyone smokes it constantly, and no one cares....the worst thing i saw happen to someone who was smoking weed, was at the very beginning of the show when a security person asked someone to smoke their joint in the smoking area as opposed to where everyone sits/stands at
fifth is the wide range of groups that go through....from furthur to pretty lights, FUN to STS9, widespread panic to nas....not to mention the history, the grateful dead, the beatles, jimi hendrix have all played red rocks.
i had an indescribable time candy flipping for the first time ever for pretty lights homecoming show and it was absolutely insane...mind = blown
anyone got any cool red rocks stories? or any plans to make it there in the future? im hittin STS9 and nas on sept 6

I LOVE Red Rocks! It's my absolute favorite amphitheater, and possibly venue in general. I really can't imagine a more beautiful place to see a show.
I saw Primus and The Flaming Lips one night and My Morning Jacket the next in 2011. Honestly, some of the best shows I've ever seen. The performances, venue and crowd were all just amazing.
I agree that the lot is probably the best I've ever been on and it's awesome having a decent beer selection come around, but your experience with the staff isn't universal. The first night I went I got the usual light pat down, but the second night the guy was much more thorough and even lifted my shirt up to see if I had crotched anything that was poking out the top of my pants. That kinda pissed me off as I've never had anyone do that in the 10 years I've been going to shows.

yeah why is that? what did they/their crowd do at red rocks that pissed them off so bad?
edit: nevermind, phish isnt banned from red rocks anymore, it was only from 1996-2006...they played a 4 night run at red rocks in 2009 as their tour opener

So totally with you on this one. Did my first weekend at red rocks this summer (string cheese) and was almost overwhelmed by the experience. Still glowing from the experience now, a month later. I posted my own "oh my god first night at red rocks" thread, too!

Welcome to flavor country trippinballs420! Red Rocks is truly a magical place to see any show. Bands love playing there just as much as people love going there to see bands play.
I saw String Cheese Incident there back in 2007 for their supposed last 4 shows as a band. It was bitter sweet as the scene at that time was pretty, uhh, high.. and the band was experiencing creative differences. The shows were absolutely awesome and because nobody knew if the band would ever get back together again at that point in time there was an extra special buzz in the air that built each night until the final night.
Back tracking a little bit though, I hadn't heard that the band was calling it quits until a buddy told me their last 4 shows were going to be at red rocks. I flipped out and ran off to grab tickets only to find out that they were completely sold out. I didn't have internet at the time at my place so I spent the next few days at the library computer finding tickets on craigslist. Back then craigslist was way more legit and wasn't full of ticket brokers and scam artists taking advantage of sold out shows. I sourced tickets from 4 different people and the last one I went out to meet with was a girl with a sweet voice. She just sounded pretty you know?
So I drove about 45 minutes to meet with her, and we just sort of agreed on an exit off the highway and who ever got there first would call the other at a gas station or whatever. I got there first and told her where I was and what I was driving and all that. I remember sitting there waiting and listening to some music and then I looked up to my side mirror and saw the finest body walking straight towards me. I quickly sat up and opened my door and turned around and our eyes met. I melted and we smiled, absolutely gorgeous. I chatted with her a bit and asked her why she was selling her ticket and she said she was going the other nights but had family obligations the one night. Anyways, we made our exchange and I said, "hope to see you at the show!" She said "me too!" and we parted ways. I get back in my car and realize how dumb I was to not ask for her number or see if she wanted to hang at one of the shows.
Ok now back to the shows.. After 3 awesome nights of cheese at red rocks I'm a little bit fried. Cannabis Brownies, Molly, Beer, Whiskey, sass wafers, and mushrooms have taken a toll on me and I'm sitting on a fence near the ramp entrance waiting for my friends to make the walk from the parking lot. All of a sudden I see two girls walk by and one of them has a a look on her face like "Hey, I know that guy" and points me out to her friend. I hop off the fence and we start chatting and talking about how fun the weekend has been. My friends make there way up to us and we introduce everyone to each other. The seed had been planted though. We can't take our eyes off eachother, we go in and all chill together for the 'last string cheese show ever'.
Once we found a good spot and were enjoying the show for a while, she pulls out a roll and offers to split it with me (orange dolphin? something like that). I oblige and it was one of the best rolls I've ever had. We feel great, and I'm not sweating badly, or getting weird and jaw clenched or anything like that, super comfortable and relaxed and were both groovin. Set Break comes around and our friends leave us to chat and we have incredible conversation and bond over some common experiences from our pasts. We cuddle up to eachother and chill and soak in the vibes. I find out that she is only visiting family for the summer and is leaving in a few weeks. I remember being bummed about that but considering the circumstances of our surroundings the damper in mood was a fleeting moment at best.
String Cheese finished up the night with a Texas encore and I remember how deflated the energy in the air felt as soon as they took their final bow. We walked out of the venue and got to a fork in the road. Her and her friend had to go to their lot, and we to ours. I remember wanting to get her number to hang (again! geez i'm lame) but felt conflicted about the whole her leaving in a few weeks thing. We hugged and I said something ultra lame like "Have a great life!" She smiled and gave me a little laugh and then they walked away.
I kind of beat myself up the next day about not going for it and asking her to chill before she went home. A light bulb went on in my head though and I realized I could email her! I get to a computer to write her an email only to find that she has all ready emailed me!
****meltttttttttttttttttttttt*******
To wrap it up, we spent the next few weeks together and had a lot of fun . She went back to school and we chatted over the phone a few times but she moved on after a few months and found someone else. It was kind of a romantic notion that we could somehow work it out but I was mature enough to know that it wouldn't work out. One of the best 3 weeks of my life though.
Gotta love red rocks =)
edit: After reading this through I forgot to make it clear that the girl I hooked up with at the show was the same girl I bought the tickets from..

I don't think I've ever actually listened to String Cheese Incident before. But I keep hearing mention of them everywhere. My cousin's bf said all his friends go to their shows and then on Shroomery they're the talk every once in a while.
Guess I'll have to give them a listen

I like their music OK and their scene seems pretty chill. I tried to get into them for a while back in the early 2000's when Phish was on hiatus. Both shows I went to, I ended up falling asleep. Like I said, I enjoy their music, but I guess it just doesn't really turn my crank.

I'm sure there was excessive amounts of marijuana and some beers involved, but still... I never been CLOSE to falling asleep at a Phish show.

Haha, because of my age I didn't quite catch on to how awesome phish was until after coventry. I had heard recordings and thought it was groovy but didn't ever have a chance to see them before they called it quits. So my entrance into the big world of jam/grass was string cheese incident. First time I saw them was 2004 and then unfortunately didn't end up getting a chance to see them again until those 2007 shows.
Phish definitely blows SCI out of the water these days, but back then I didn't know any better. Still love string cheese and saw some awesome shows in 2011 but they just aren't able to take me to nearly the same place that phish consistently can.

I never understood why people got so into the phish, I saw them once and I enjoyed the show but their music isn't my cup of tee. The vocals/lyrics are also horrible.

While I wouldn't consider their lyrics "horrible", they definitely are not accessible to the average concert goer or someone who searches for meaningful messages embedded within the lyrics of the songs.
Don't get me wrong, their certainly are songs with meaning, but a lot of it is like a fantasy land story where anything goes and it's all fun and games with hidden twists, turns, and excitement.
Another way to think of it... Have you ever had a trip where you're with a bunch of friends and someone says a funny word? Could be anything.. Like.. Marbles! and its usually not funny at all but the circumstances cause everyone to flip out and laugh their heads off? Or have you ever made up words while tripping?
A lot of phish lyrics are just sentences that sound really quirky or awesome.. For instance:
Quote:
The telephone was ringing, that's when I handed it to Liz She said, "This isn't who it would be if it wasn't who it is"
or
Quote:

I like rrx. I prefer the fillmore though. The security to get into red rocks can be WAY overly thorough. They searched me for so fucking long for the biscuits show. The driving situation makes it generally a less wilder crowd. Tailgating is fun though. Rain can be problematic. Dunno, it's cool. I guess because the fillmore is 5 blocks from me it is my first love. Just dunno brooo. Seeing sector 9 there in like 3 weeks.

Yeah buddy thats a picture from a grateful dead show back in the 80s. The new stage is nearly as tall as the scaffolding that's holding up the speakers in that picture. It's cool to see the shear amount of gear that the dead would bring on stage with them for every show. Love those classic pics

This. I would really like to be into Phish, but I just can't do it. The lyrics annoy me so much! It strikes me as just being weird for the sake of being weird.
This isn't a SCI vs. Phish thread, but I really encourage people to check out SCI, especially if you we're only lukewarm to them in the past. People go on and on about the good old days, but I think they're playing better than ever. It's not quite as psychedelic as Phish, for instance, but jammy and such positive energy - that's maybe what I like best.

I too also ate too much acid at a red rox show. It was fourth of July weekend and lotus was playing their first show ever on the rox. That's when I discovered the only drawback of red rox, if you are halfway up the stands you are dangerously far from water.
I had been ragin lot all afternoon, I was pretty drunk and had been indulging in some FIRE Molly. We stand in line for like an hour to get in and during that hour I end up doing about four more points of Molly. About ten-fifteen minutes before I hit security I eat all my L. Now I had not initially intended to eat all my L but the Molly had me goin and I felt so good I figured "why not?". Well this was some of the best acid I've eve had. And I munched 7 or 8 hits. By the time we find our seats in the stands I'm already starting to trip HARD. I sit down and my friends were all looking at me like they were concerned and they probably should have been.
Now I'm sweatig so bad at this point and all the beer and whiskey is dehydrating the hell out of me. So I take my bladder and head to the top to hit the bathrooms to fill it. The trek up the stairs ended up being too much for me and I whited out and had to sit down. In the middle of the stairs that are off to the sides. Now if you can imagine, here I am this space cadet spunyun sitting where people are trying to walk, I'm looking in ROUGH shape, pale as hell, and here comes this woman in a hippy dress with a beautiful aura around her walking toward me. She kneels down beside me and gives me a hug, calms me down and asks me what's wrong.
At this point I can't form sentences. All I manage to say to this wonderful soul is "water". She smiles big at me and takes my bladder from me and walks off. I sit there for a few minutes which felt like hours, watching the monoliths dance in the sun. And he she comes with my bladder, she hands it to me and I'm SO happy! She helps me up and takes me back to my friends and off she goes.
Not only are the shows at red rox AWESOME, the crowds are almost always full of people like that. That woman probably saved me from a heat stroke that day and I am forever Grateful!
There's decades of love and energy in those monoliths, that's why the rox are so magical. Peace and love y'all

i'm talking about beta not redrocks but yeah. I never went to redrocks cause no one i want to see plays there.
I keep hearing about how many watts beta has but who gives a shit if they never turn it up. I've only been there 3-4 times but i could have a conversation in front of the speakers (where i had to stand to get any sub bass in their horrible square shaped room).

dude i totally know what you mean. i kinda had the same experience where this girl sat next to me when i was tripping face and kinda out there and on the verge of it going wrong, and instead of just like being there she struck up conversation and i ended up getting her number and giving her some bumps of molly, it was a good time. great red rocks story tho!

Red Rocks is awesome. The cops there used to be dicks though. I'm not sure if they still are. But they used to set up shop on the rocks around the lot & watch through telescopes & roll mad people.

It all depends on the show and which lot you're in. There's a lot that has a reputation as "the lot" because its a lot of fun, and that's where the cops are at too if they are going to be there.
Kind of funny how that works out ..

wow didnt know that....now it seems they have chilled a bit....i only saw one kid get busted on the lot selling and that was cause he directly asked an undercover who was standing by the bathrooms if he wanted molly 
like 5 mins before everyone was whispering and pointing at him saying he was an undercover too

wow didnt know that....now it seems they have chilled a bit....i only saw one kid get busted on the lot selling and that was cause he directly asked an undercover who was standing by the bathrooms if he wanted molly 
like 5 mins before everyone was whispering and pointing at him saying he was an undercover too

Damn good looks.. Furthur's website doesn't mention anything about saturday night being sold out so I didn't believe it at first. Then I went to ticketmaster and tried to pull down a ticket for saturday night and no dice!
Picked myself up a friday night

Personally, I never support a scalper. I'd rather listen from outside which you can always do at red rocks. Another reason it's awesome

I'm not interested in letting somebody profit off of my love for a band or an artist. I support the people who make the show happen and that value is built into the price of the ticket.
I've never sold a ticket for more than what the artist asked for it, and I've never bought a ticket for more than the artist intended. I don't have a whole lot of morals that I really stick to, but that's one of them.
Just my personal philosophy. I've got friends who scalp tickets, and while I don't approve I don't rag on them. It's there choice. I get the whole supply and demand argument, but I'm in it for the love of music and I appreciate the artists and the people who put their time and energy into making the whole thing happen. I don't appreciate someone who sees the whole thing as an opportunity to make a quick buck.
What does a scalper contribute to a show? They only take away from it in my opinion.

I figured the term scalper could refer to those who wound up with extra tickets or had to leave early and figured they would just sell the tickets and scram, not necessarily for a higher price than what they're worth.

Nah, that's just a fan helping another fan out. A scalper is someone who sells a ticket for more than what it was intended to be sold at. At least that's the definition I've always understood. Sorry for the confusion if there was any.

Yeah I think the only time I heard the term scalper before was in an episode of Seinfeld or something where one of the characters can't make it to the show they wanted to go too and so waited outside looking for someone to sell it too they called it scalping, perhaps I have that all wrong in my memory though

yeah lol i heard a kid on the lot trying to sell a one night pass for 200$....from ticketmaster originally they were 45 per night like 80 for a 2 day pass. the scalpers are fucked up sometimes but hey, a ticket is a ticket and if youve been selling molly and doses on the lot all day im sure you dont mind droppin a lil extra cash/stash for some tickets

Craigslist > StubHub for last minute tix. You usually meet some super cool people too!

yeah, craigslist and facebook usually are decent, but if stubhub has tickets that havent been raped pricewise yet its my choice. and if you dont give a fuck about money stubhub is solid as fuck....and if something is messed up with the tix they are AMAZING with customer service.
one time i bought 2 tickets to a 2day pass to a show, stubhub fucked up and our tickets only were good for the first day, after calling them while at the venue and finding out that they couldnt help us because their representative had left the venue and they had no left over tickets themselves to comp us.....they immediately refunded me the money for both of the second day tickets, then proceeded to give me 100$ in credit towards my next tickets.
works out for me....i ended up using that credit for the STS9 tickets at RR on the 6th

Holy fucking shit, the second night blew the first out of the water... I have seen Derek the last five times he's played here in Colorado and it keeps getting danker. It's crazy as fuck to think that he went to the same high school as me. Anyways those two nights made me really realize how much I need to go to this upcoming basslights in Florida.
