That's pretty surprising.

Not for colorado its not. If it were widespread panic, phish, or some shitty jamgrass band it would have sold out.

From earlier in the thread.... last year it was practically sold out in less than a week, albeit with few tickets, and with WP headlining both days

Widespread panic is HUGE in colorado. So who knows.

So, yeah, I guess you know your state pretty well.

For what it's worth, I saw WP in a shitty little arena in 1998 in Lexington, KY whilst chain smoking marijuana cigarattes. Also saw them maybe a year later in a small club in Louisville, the dude broke out the washboard and rode aronud on a bike in the crowd playing it. I'm certain there were also marijuana cigarattes involved that time as well.

Despite seeing them at least twice (maybe more, memory is a little fuzzy), and recalling the washboard/bike event, I could not say that I could recognize any song or sound from them today. Your jamgrass term sort encompasses my complete recollection of their music.

As a huge WP fan (75 shows), since you were once inclined to give them a try and enjoy the marijuana cigarettes, I highly recommend catching them this year if you get a chance. As with any band, but especially jambands that play 70-100 shows per year, the quality of music goes in waves. They are cresting right now. Consistently great shows (song selection and playing). June 25th will be their 50th sold out show at Red Rocks. Should be good.

Jimmy Herring is a god among men.

lol. Pearl jam has a 4 hour time slot

Yeah, so Pearl Jam 7:00 - 11:00.

I'm sure they'll take the stage 7:50 and be off by 10:45. Should get a nice 3 hr show out of it, though, right?

Perhaps a nice acoustic set while the sun is setting!

Im familiar with the names. When are they playing though? Are they under a different name?
