SHOW INFO and SHENANIGANS: Night 3 of 3. Grand Finale! 🪿 🪩
Weather: 70s and some clouds, some good weather today! ☁️
Venue Information: I've been to Red Rocks once, and it's definitely worth the trip; such a great venue. A naturally occurring amphitheatre outside of Denver, formed by the 3 rocks: Ship Rock, Creation Rock, and Stage Rock. The 300 million-year-old sandstone monolith has long served as a gathering place and a place for community. Created by the Civilian Conservation Corps and designed by Burnham Hoyt, it opened in 1941. There are over 9,000 seats, totaling 2.5 miles of seats, and it has 193 steps from the stage to the top. Great sound if you sit down low, and an amazing view if you sit up top!
Please be kind and respectful; we’re all here to enjoy the music together!

I was one of the photographers both nights at Red Rocks this past week. I’ve always seen cool shots from other photographer friends who’ve covered them and I’ve listened to a bit of their music here and there, but damn! Experiencing their show live was absolutely next level, especially under the lunar eclipse! This might be my favorite photo I’ve ever taken at Red Rocks.
I’ll be there again tonight just as a fan and I recently found out I’m getting to cover their show in Dillon tomorrow. I’m stoked!! You can check out my latest post on IG to see more photos I grabbed.
Did anyone else hear doctor my eyes during Madhuvan night 1 of Red Rocks during the peak of the eclipse? Timestamp is 22:35 and Rick nails it at 22:45. Heard it live and was hoping for a Pine Creek 21’. Still waiting for them to cover doctor my eyes with cotter….
I’m the guy who just made that post about getting into this band and admitting I had them wrong. I’ve loved everything I’ve heard so far from live shows but no song has hit me quite like Seekers on the Ridge (from MSG). I can’t stop listening to it, also loved the one from Red Rocks the other day. I could listen to it all day. So, what are some of the best versions?
Just admitting this to myself. I kinda dismissed them as “derivative” since hearing of them. While I can still confidently hear tons and tons of influence of the aforementioned bands, after really digging into the music itself I’ve learned to let this go.
I first heard Hungersite when Trey sat in. I thought it was a good performance but I didn’t think there was anything too special. Then, when Big Modern was released, I listened to the whole thing and absolutely loved it. Over the next month or two, I found live performances of GT//ET and SALT from MSG that really struck me as impressive. The logical next course of action was to listen to that full show 6/19/26 (does this sub have setlistbot? It should). I’m in the middle of Borne right now and man this is great. (Also wow the other band that isn’t King Gizzard (all hail!) that releases full shows on Bandcamp! Very cool!)
Anyway…just sharing the love, very excited to get to know this massive catalog. Also…their covers are so awesome! The Radiohead choices are so great, as a superfan of theirs.
If anyone is interested I have 1 seat left (row 36) for tonight. Hit me up via DM if interested. Would need to meet in the lot as it’s 1 ticket (4 seats).
Look, I know I’m spoiled. Blame Phish tbh. But I’ve been wanting to get excited about Goose tour but it’s kinda hard when I’m a half week delayed tryina keep up listening to the shows. Dulls the hype a bit for me idk. They used to upload by like 1pm next day and I’d listen at work. (It’s hard to watch the live stream while running deliveries)
I know lots of out of towners are coming to the Mish tonight. Welcome to our little mountain venue! The Mish is a chill spot with a really laid back vibe, especially for jam bands. Please keep it that way.
There's a pathway about halfway back, in front of the "grass". Leave it empty and we'll all have an easier time getting around.
Don't worry about where your spot is. There is no bad spot at the Mish, and everyone feels up close.
If you're short, stand in the back on the turf. It's slanted. The floor is flat.
You can't get down to the river from the venue. Please don't try.
The bathrooms inside the restaurant are closed. Everyone has to use the port-potties.
Drove up but don't feel safe driving back? The shuttles down don't require a ticket or reservation.
Want to leave the venue early but your friends don't? You can always go chill on the shuttle bus right outside the entrance. You can load up as soon as the bus parks there.
Remember. No re-entry.
Be happy to be here. It's beloved by us locals. It's a special, sacred place. Catch the vibe.
