Epic music weekend completed; 3 days, 3 shows.
Friday Night - Avett Brothers with David Crosby & Friends at Red Rocks. A rainbow appeared over Red Rocks while DC played; it was an awesome night out and that really set the tone for what would be a GREAT Avett Brothers set. This was their best show of the 5 or so I've seen. I had recently watched "May It Last" and that really changed how I view the band and hear the songs from True Sadness. rating: 10/10
Saturday Night - The Get Up Kids at the Oriental Theater. Long time favorite of mine; first saw them about 17 years ago. It was so cool to see them in a room with about a thousand people in it. They were so awesome - they sounded great, they played tons of stuff across their entire catalog, and the songs off the new EP were really, really good live. That was the most fun I've had at a show in a long time. rating: 15/10
Sunday - one of my buddy's played a brunch set with his acoustic/folk project, called Solohawk. They played a venue called Ophelia's which is an old brothel turned restaurant/bar/venue. Cool spot; nice mellow music to ease into Sunday after a fun weekend. rating: 10/10
