I always see the "roll call" threads and I am SO friggin stoked about Red Rocks I was wondering when we can start one...so how about now? Flying up from Dallas Wednesday, camping at Golden Gate Wed and Thu night for the show, Rockies game Friday night, back to Dallas Saturday for the show! My pants are going crazy!!!!!!!!!!

Im guessing lots of peeps are trecking to the mecca known as the Red Rocks show. Where are you coming from? Any pre game activities? Do we expect a huge crowd? and don't forget the ass thumpin' BLACK KEYS!

:D

Never too soon!  I just wish I was on the list. :'(
I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

Early?? It's only 2 weeks away! I'm coming from Oklahoma with 2 of my peeps. The upper north parking lot is always a good place to tailgate, that's where we'll be, and we'll be there early. Maybe I'll rig some sort of flag or something to signal fellow forum-goers - or we could all wear orange...

how about running a morning jacket up the flagpole! I think we'll be getting there early afternoon, we can definitely contribute to the tailgate!

Curious what everyone thinks about the upcoming set list at Red Rocks - This is one of the only shows with an open band (not like there is anything wrong with the Black Keys).  Are we in for a shortened set?

I would bet on it being a regular set, not shortened, similar to the sets played in Europe recently - 20-22 tunes. Probably no covers either, but you never know...

i'm coming from pennsylvania. i got a friend who lives 10 minutes from red rocks so i'll be in denver for the week. very convenient. can't wait for the show, does anyone know if there is a curfew at red rocks? that be great if we got a 3 hour set..........and does anyone know how much the posters usually cost at these shows? i'd like a poster, sucks that you have to hold onto it for the show though. such a pain in the ass.
got a great couple weeks coming up. seeing radiohead on tuesday, eddie vedder on saturday and then red rocks. fyi, for anyone who will be staying in denver, the night after red rocks jason isbell (former member of drive-by truckers) and the 400 unit are playing in some club, forget what it's called but i'll be going to that as well. i think tickets are like 8 bucks or something cheap like that......

Bring a mailing tube for the poster and you can stash it under the bench, no problem.

Looks like Isbell is at the Larimer Lounge Thurs and Friday, $12: http://calendar.denverpost.com/denver-co/events/show/83936906-jason-isbell

Myself and one other girl from Kentucky (after the Louisville show on Saturday) are heading out there as well.  Where if everyone staying?  We will be in the downtown area on Wednesday and Thursday night.

Never been to a show at Red Rocks so we are ready for a fantastic week!

Are you guys driving or flying? If you're driving, are you going to the Kansas City show on the way? I'm going to Louisville too, but coming back to OK - dropping one off and picking up 2 others to head up to CO on Wednesday. We'll be staying up in the mountains at a secret hideout, unless we're at my buddy's house in Denver.
TGMC - see you guys on I-35! Unless we take the scenic route through the panhandle...

I will be at Red Rocks with bells on. Going to the show tonight in Nashvegas and then to the Robert"s Western World for some PBR. Me and another friend are flying to Denver on Wednesday and hanging in Boulder until the show.

Hell yeah, Crispy!

I would prefer taking the scenic route but I'm not driving this time so it's unlikely.  Hell, we don't even have a means of transportation as of yet.  Nevertheless we're sure to make.it.HAPPEN!

I am from Denver and really excited to see this show. MMJ at Red Rocks will surely be my summer highlight. Evil Urges is just about perfect (except Highly Suspicious- sorry!) I just hope we can get up there early enough for good seats near the soundboard. We have to deliver my freshman daughter to her dorm in Greeley before we can head up to the greatest concert venue in the world. I'll be checking the board more often this week to see the set lists and share the anticipation.

For you out of towners--Red Rocks is a special place!
