*** Official Denver, CO 2022
Might as well get it started, we are back in 2021.

Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
Dates are 10/1 and 10/2. Late in year. Will be interesting if it continues at Fiddlers or moves to pepsi center since it is October. I didn't see anything that said a venue.

Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
WH says it is Fiddler's.

Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
any word on when these go on sale?

Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
So disappointed it's not Red Rocks. Oh well.

Walk to outside merch get your stuff and take it back to the room. Plenty of restaurants and the light rail there as well. Usually full of several other DMB fans. Spacious rooms too. |

Still excited though. I mean it, something to look forward to seeing as all of my concerts so far this year have been cancelled or likely will :shrug |

Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
I'll be there for N2. We'll see on N1. The last two times at Fiddlers they mail it in N1 and drop all the goodies on N2. Last year I skipped N1 to go see Joe Rogan stand up at the Bellco theater. Well worth it.
Hoping the rarities continue for us at Fiddlers. Last year was my favorite opening run of tunes I've seen in person. Why I Am Grace is Gone -> Warehouse Sam Cop Kill the Preacher (tease) -> Dont Drink the Water Spoon (!!!!) The Best of Whats Around (!!!) Sam Cop is a big wet fart to me, but aside from that, I'd take that opening run at every show. |

Not even a worldwide pandemic can get them to play Red Rocks again. |
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
They'll play red rocks again once they can't draw 15k in one night. And then it will become a destination expensive show which will also suck for locals.

Meaning they'll never play there as a group, since they're always going to be able to draw that many. |

That's hilarious. This band's attendance is declining year after year. |
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
They do still sell out Fiddlers twice every time they come though

i am very into this. it will have been 8 long years since i've seen them at that point. i expect to have a really really good time, which i wasn't when i was setlist bitching half the time because i had seen them like 4 times already that summer and the year before...etc...

They skipped us in 2020. So what the new date says to me is they were coming back in 2021 anyway, which again means they skipped us purposefully this year. |
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
RR is tiny, but i had no idea it was a venue where once you hit a certain crowd number you just say fuck it. I've seen some bands there who could easily sell out amphitheaters, and have. interesting.
|
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
Two nights is a standard move for the big acts at RR. Sometimes 3 nights.
Tom Petty easily could have sold out Fiddlers or Pepsi on his 40th anniversary tour but he instead did 2 red rocks shows. And they were magic. I've also heard the load in logistics for RR is a chore and a half. But ya know... Whatever? It obviously doesn't stop many major acts from playing there. |

Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
Heard that. It would be dope if they did back to back 3 night stands for Red Rocks and the Gorge. Thursday-Sat at RR the weekend before labor day and then the traditional 3 night stand over labor day for the Gorge.

Oh, you mean each one of them may not be able to take their own 50 ft tour bus to the venue?? Tragic. |
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
From my understanding it's actually more of a crew thing than the band having their private buses next to the venue.
This is an old article about the Allman Brothers playing there in 2003.

Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
I was lucky enough to catch N1 of the red rocks memorial day weekend shows for the 40th tour. My first and only Petty show. Im not sure why, but my parents are huge petty fans but never saw him live. They've seen tons of acts, but they never saw petty. It's their biggest regret.
It's my favorite concert of all time. My gf's mom bought us 2nd row tickets for her birthday. Joe Walsh opening was icing on a perfect cake. |

Widespread Panic plays Red Rocks every year, no reason phish or DMB couldn’t do it. Guess they just make more money playing Denver. I think I’m just going to see panic there sometime in the next two years. I have been to the venue, just not for a show. I would LOVE to see a show at Redrocks.
|
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
It's a game changer.
|
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
Red Rocks is one of those places i dreamed of seeing a show at for so long. I used to imagine myself in the crowd on the dmb 95 recording and then countless other times during WSP and SCI sets when i would watch and listen. i made a point to visit the venue before even checking in with my friend who i would be staying with when i moved here :lol but honestly i don't regret it. I don't remember who was sound checking but i remember being embarrassed by my reaction to looking down on the stage because i just started crying. beautiful place, but if you've imagined it for so many years, its just that much more cool.
|
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
I was in tears tons of times throughout the petty show. It actually started during Walsh's set when he did Take It To The Limit and dedicated it to Glenn Frye. It was me (26 at the time) and a bunch of 50+ year old men and women in tears. Such a special night.
Well said on the fantasizing on being in the audience and seeing a show there. :thumbsup |

Seeing Petty and having him pass that fall was my motivation to drop some coin on tickets to go see the stones at Mile High last summer. This is the stuff that I view as once in a lifetime. I was super bummed I had a conflict with the Buffet/Eagles show a few years back at Coors before Glenn passed. My parents were such an influence on my musical taste that I'm desperately trying to see the oldies before they hang it up. I have friends who get it and others who don't. Those who don't get it makes me a little sad. Red Rocks is church for me. I'm religious about my concerts. |

I owe so much of my musical tastes to my Dad. I was probably the only 13 year old in the entire crowd at the Allman Bros show in 03', but my dad new it would evolve into the same love of music that he had when he was that age, and my god did it... what a cool thing to get to pass down. the death that truly stung me the most with this in mind was Gregg's passing. when i was discovering music, truly, for the first time, they Allman Brothers were the jumping off point. Me and my old man were still at the last show ever at the Beacon, and that was truly something else. Hard to put into words. I didn't think it would be the last time i saw Gregg, and i tried for years after, but either he was sick, or i had to reschedule. Long live the Allman Brothers Band :thumbsup my next artist that i know i need to see fast is Eric Clapton. That night was sold out during the 07 Beacon run. |
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021

My mom saw the stones in like 82. My dad has never seen them and I told him he should remedy that in 2020. Obviously that won't happen now. My mom was going to surprise my dad with tickets to Steve Miller Band at RR in August but that also got cancelled. That would have been another one crossed off the list for classic rocks bands. |

Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
I have also heard that red rocks weekend slots are booked out years in advance. Joe Rogan a few years ago (2017/8ish) said he wanted to do a Friday or Saturday night standup set at RR and they said they didn’t have any summer weekend slots available until like 2021. He said he could only get tuesdays and thursdays and he had no desire to do that.
I have no idea how accurate that is, but just something I found interesting. That would mean these EDM acts that play Friday’s and Saturday’s have been booked like 4 years in advance? |
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
I get that they may have outgrown the venue as far as popularity goes. I'm just not buying the "it's tough to get equipment there" or "we won't make enough money."
Most of the band members (according to the world wide internets) have $50+ million in the bank, and Dave is pushing $300 million. Do something for the love of the music, fans, and venue for me. One time. |

What would be the best way to get tickets for fiddlers green next year? Im relatively new to attending shows and have only purchased through ticketmaster to the Des Moines show last year. Would that be an option would you think? What might you guess tickets would cost?

I do know they have to unload cases from semis on to smaller box trucks in order to get up the hill. So you are essentially loading in and loading out twice for one show. Sounds like a pain but I bet the overtime is great for stagehands :D |

Still holding out hope for these shows... I'm hoping the Superbowl is the beginning for what the process might look like for getting groups of some size back into large outdoor venues.. I realize a sold out packed show is probably not happening this year.. But maybe 40 percent? Especially outdoors..

Well after a few years off, if the rumors hold true, looks like me and my best friend will be doing Denver x2 (if i can get tickets). Where does everyone stay? And I remember there was pretty much no tailgating that I saw last time, where does everyone park?
|
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
Let’s see if the Warehouse helps at all :lol
There are a couple hotels nearby. It’s in a business park so tailgating is tough. |

Something else to be aware of for these shows is that they are typically in august and now in October. Make no mistake October is a swing month in Colorado. Could be 70 degrees, could be 40, could be 25 with snow.
|
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
I wish they'd stop playing Fiddlers but I will take what we can.
I will plan on driving and parking in the RTD lot with a smaller tailgate again. |

Hello everyone,
This is pretty interesting. This should be open by the October shows, where the old CB Potts was. It’s a great location to pregame and postgame, walking distance to the venue. https://theknow.denverpost.com/2021/...-guard/257119/ DMB or not glad something that looks interesting is opening here. |
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021

Pretty cool. Good to see something go in the building. Potts had become a shell of itself the last couple of years. Bad food, bad beer, bad service. |
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
Yeah I don't even remember the last times I went to Potts.
|
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
I liked Potts a lot and have went there before and after every fiddlers concert I’ve been too.
Maybe it’s not as good as 1995 when I first went there but oh well. Nothing is. There is also one in HR we went too sometimes, usually before movies. My song ate the 1 lb burger I remember one time lol. It’s at least as good as the place I’m going to tonight. |
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
I've requested for both shows, and have even opted for premium for N1 since it's my birthday, but if anyone has any extra pits for N1, please let me know. I want to do it right.
|
Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
Yeah I didn't mean to rag on Potts with my post. I spent A LOT of time there in Fort Collins back when I was in school but that was 20 years ago. I think the last time I was there was the location by Fiddlers for a football game but I couldn't tell you when that was. Just wasn't convenient where we live now. A lot of good memories there.

Do pending charges mean anything? I can't remember because it's been so long since I bought tix through the Warehouse. I know for Phish ticketing the pending charges always imply what you got, but wasn't sure if DMB charges before running the lottery.
