I drove all the way from Southern Ontario, Canada (GTA region), to Denver, Colorado to see Rush in 2007. I got to Red Rocks early that morning, saw the sunrise over the city. Then sat and watched their semis roll in, offloading to that flatbed stake truck and backing up that alley to get all the Rush gear up to the stage where it was slowly assembled, it was so cool. Very glad that I had the opportunity to see two Rush shows at Red Rocks!!

Legendary venue, and legendarily a nightmare to load in and out. Was built 100 years ago, but imagine the load in and out logistics haven't changed. Because the venue is built into a mountain, there is no widening of lanes. If any of y'all watching this aren't from Denver... You gotta come here. It's even more everything than you imagine. It's only 20 minutes outside of Denver. We make sure to see at least one show a year. Even crazier is when there isn't a show, it's a state park
You can walk around red rocks. You can bring a guitar and stand in stage and play red rocks. It's a free state park

I didn't see the tunnel from backstage to the mix position....it's very cool and of course it's unique to Red Rocks...maybe they'll show it on a future video! :)

That ridge you see east of Red Rocks Stage is Dinosaur Ridge with Footprints and great hiking trails

I wonder if....Can a person sitting anywhere in this amphitheater see the whole sun route during a cloudless day, i.e. see the optical illusion that the sun creates ?
Because the sun is trully in the same place, it's the earth that revolves around this astro, at the same time as it revolves around itself

Ohhh, they don't keep the speakers up there as a permanent install.

One of the coolest venues in the country, second only to the Hollywood Bowl (or how the Bowl used to be)....
