Night 2 was hit or miss with not much flow. I thought that was the worst steam engine i've ever heard and his rambling lyrics from get back and lean on me and imagine during the jam felt so forced and low hanging fruit. Colorado/Red Rocks is all about the good vibes only stuff and Jim fed right off that. It felt hamfisted. I hated it.
When they were on, they were fucking on, but that stretch from Steam Engine through Big Decisions was bad. he stopped abruptly during Bermuda Highway (a beautiful part) to talk about a stuffed animal falling through the cracks of his bed? Or something?
Night 1 he spent time rambling about birth canals. It was really weird. He's on another plane right now and im not super digging it. Super weird plane.
But, the band, fucking awesome. Dondante is just a fucking beast. Super loved the entire weekend but night 2 was maybe the worst MMj show ive seen.
Red Rocks? I might be over that place. Seen enough shows to realize how far south humankind has come. Its just too much of a party place. People dont care who's playing, they are just there for the vibe of the place. It can really ruin a good time.
I had 4th row tickets for night 2 and it was just a constant stream of the same 10-12 people coming in and out of the row. Add that to the at least 100 people trying to sneak down into closer rows without a ticket and starting shit witht he security guards who make them leave. This couple came up and put up a huge stink and i told them to knock it off. Within 5 seconds the girl had swiped me and my girlfriends shirts and had them under her arms. I almost had to punch her and yelled at them to get the fuck out while i ripped it out of her arms. Boyfriend tried to apologize or shake it off and i got in his face. Drunk assholes.
That being said, of course I mostly had a great time. See....!
