Red Rocks

My cousin Brett and uncle Norman, our gracious hosts, gave us a driving tour of Denver. It was a beautiful day and Denver is a cool city. We now know the lay of the land for the rest of the week...

We got call from Praveen's friend at 6pm inviting us to Red Rocks Ampitheatre for an event concert featuring Sheryl Crow and Dave Matthews. I get the feeling this is how it will work all week--last minute invites to stuff. That's me, Mr. Spontaneous, fly by the seat of my pants. If the start is any indication, this will be an incredible week. The concert venue was SPECTACULAR. The coolest I've ever seen. Over 6,000 feet above sea level, the red rock formations are breathtaking. And Dave Matthews, playing just with one other guy on guitar, was great. Tim Kaine introduced him, after RFK Jr., the Colorado governor, and other folks who spoke a bit. We missed Sheryl Crow, but Sugarland also played. Neat stuff.

Under a Blood Red Sky--the first U2 live EP--was filmed here. The video of the concert is really cool with fog and mist rolling through the landscape while Bono plants a white flag on stage.

Any Bono sightings?
