Re: *** Official Denver, CO 2021
I believe the big promoter in Denver is Chuck Morris. Or was, I think he handed over the reigns pre covid and is now teaching music business at CSU. Fingers crossed that means maybe DMB could become and every year act again. Maybe they alternate between 1 and 2 night stands every other year. But Fiddlers has been hot the last 2 tours. Great crowd. Great sets and performances. Band seems to really enjoy it there for one reason or another.
I hated that post 2006 DMB became an every other year act, likely because they didn't sell out the Pepsi Center on a 2 night stand that tour. Tix were available very cheap day of. It's not really fair because they had just played 4 nights at Red Rocks a year prior and 2006 was a pretty flat year for the band in terms of excitement. Stand Up had fallen short of every fan hard core and casual. It was likely the middle of the falling out the band talks about so often.
-2007 was the first year they hadn't played in Colorado since 2004. 2004 was the first year they ever skipped since their first show here in 93.
-They headlined the Mile High Music Fest in 08.
-Skipped an album year in 2009 which makes no sense.
That tour was huge.
-2010 Once again tried to revive the MHMF, but the promoter of that realized that the fans were only coming for DMB and cancelled it the next year.
-2011 Break
-2012 because they had started a new tour, I assume they didn't count 2011 as a "skipped" year
- 2013 Dicks 2 night stand. N1 was 50% capacity, N2 sold out
- 2014 skip
-2015 new venue stop at Fiddlers for 2 sets. Great turn out and sellouts both nights. Really good shows. Likely the best shows the band had done in CO in some time.
2016- SKIP?? I never understood this one. Another tour before the break, and CO was skipped. Seemed like a missed oppty. I do wonder if the timing of there mid tour month break, and the day labor day falls effects this at all. If Labor Day is the first or the 7th. Does this make a difference in if they do CO and UT shows?
2017 - D&T tour. Nowhere west of the Mississippi
2018,2019, 2021 Fiddlers. 2020 would have been a skip for who knows why. All Sell outs. I think they could easily do 3 nights at Fiddlers. Tix were very hard to come by in 2019/21 and it seemed to be a destination spot for a lot of the crowd.
All signs point to a skip in 2022 minus the assumption that Chuck Morris is no longer running the show and who I believe is the reason they were on the "special" schedule.
