My first Red Rocks show. The stars had aligned so that our 2'nd season working in Yellowstone happened to wrap up just in time for a carload of us to get to the venue at 3 pm showday. As we sat taking it all in some kids who'd been at the previous night's show filled us in on some highlights...seems like Stagger Lee had made its debut. Of 6 who made the trip down from Wyo., 4 were attending their first GD show.

- ★★★★★ · Great show · Slipknot! · 2007
There's a very calm, serene feeling with this show. It starts off with a great Mississippi with great harmonies on the "across the river grand-eo" part followed by a nice long jam. el paso is clear and solid. not the best peggy-o but jerry's vocals are great. also great on candyman "won't you tell everybody you meet" bob throws fuel on the fire in a great verson of minglewood. the second set starts off with a great shakedown. my favorite part of the show is the NFA->black peter.
- ★★★★★ · WHY NOT JUST SIT BACK AND DIG IT? · boscomorgan · 2008
WHY IS IT THAT SO MANY PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO DIESECT EVERY NOTE PLAYED? HOW ABOUT JUST SITTIN' BACK AND DIGGIN' THE MUSIC? BUT WHAT IS EQUALLY AS STRANGE IS NOT ONE PERSON SAID 1 WORD ABOUT 8/30/78.THIS SHOW IS 2 SETS THAT DESERVES A BIG OL'PUDDLE JUST LIKE THE ONE WE DID THAT NIGHT. THE MUSIC IS COOLER WHEN YOU JUST LISTEN INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BE THE CRITIC ON EVERYTHING THAT GOES DOWN.
