Fleet Foxes/September 27,2017/Morrison,CO

For years I've wanted to attend a show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. It's a venue which has become legendary for its natural beauty. Well...here was my chance.

I was already in Colorado for the first time ever, and I chose to attend this show. Fleet Foxes is a good band, but mainly I wanted to see a show at Red Rocks. The unique band Beach House played about a one hour opening set. Their music is ethereal and slightly psychedelic.

After a set break, out came Fleet Foxes with their distinctive CSN-ish vocal talents. These guys were great and all, but the weather got quite chilly and damp, so I left before the show was over. I was also a bit anxious about driving out of Red Rocks as the parking situation was a bit ramshackle.

Red Rocks lived up to my expectations as a gorgeous venue. (Possibly the finest outdoor venue ever.) The acoustics were beautiful and the scenery is out of this world. This was a big one on my "DO IT BEFORE YOU DIE" list. Below my ticket stub are some photos I took at the show.
