seems to be a pretty popular venue, and for good reason i'm sure. i've never been, but will be seeing king gizzard and the lizard wizard there in may. pretty excited about it.
tell me about your experiences at this venue, maybe post some video if it exists.
i would have loved to be at this one. never did get to see shpongle live. caught a dj set once though.

I’ve seen Shpongle a few times. Always a good time.
I’ve never made Red Rocks but I will eventually.

Saw Shpongle this past May. You can bring an empty water bottle and fill it up there. No assigned seating. Check the weather, as it will get cold after the sun sets and the weather can change pretty quickly. Layer up or bring a small backpack with some extra socks/layers etc. This also comes in handy if you are like me and tend to abandon layers as the night goes on. I was not harassed about bringing bubbles in. Security was relatively lax IMO. Also, you will not regret going up to the top to look down on all the people at the show, the city lights in the distance, and the stars up above. Once things got rolling, the venue seemed so tiny and intimate. I did not grasp the enormity of the place until it was time to leave.

I've been wanting to catch a show there for a while. Probably Widespread Panic. I really want to see The Gorge in Washington too.I would like to see Phish at the Gorge.
One of the best venues I've been to is the Suwanee Music Park. They don't have any amazing mountains or canyons, but there is a nice river, pretty forest and camping area, nice mist/fog to help the concert lights, and really good vibes except for the LEO's.
Allgood had a nice spot when they were in West Virginia too.
What are some other legendary venues?

Yeah some of this gizzard stuff is alright some of it is idk. I get that if they played around with these live I could potentially be much better. They'll surely throw down for red rocks.

People always say bands are going to throw down for Red Rocks and then get disappointed when it's not the fire they were hoping for.

I think the major issue is that people set the bar so high for Red Rocks that in some instances a performance of that level is unattainable.
I've heard a few two/three night runs where only like one night is noteworthy. It just depends on the group.

I think alot of times I hear from ppl and always think the red rocks shows were over hyped. Like people dont want to admit the thing they talked up and spent a bunch of money on wasnt that good. Plus it's just a cool and unique venue so if u take drugs there ur likely to trip off. I know people that spent an assload of money to go to those shpongle shows and for the whole time out there and they talk about it like it was some legendary event but part of me wonders if that's show was anywhere else or not so over hyped beforehand if people would feel the same way.

I think we are on the same page.
My buddy took his G/F out there for the Biscuits. I've been to hundreds of shows with the friend. His comment was that it's beautiful, legendary in that sense, but that it was a long walk to the bathrooms. Seems like an honest review.
The Shpongle shows I've been to have always been interesting, lots of DMT going on. I was given a does of acid once, took it, had an amazing night. I'd imagine at RR that would be bumped up a level of intensity, but I've never been, so...

I'm lucky to live 11 miles from Red Rocks. I took a lyft on a friday night to the shpongle show and it was under 17 bucks!!! Both ways!.
