You’ve heard it here before, when King Gizzard comes to town, don’t ask any questions, just go. Do they need to be your favorite band? No! Do you need to listen to them at home all the time? No! Do you even really need to be familiar with their music? No! About the only thing you need is a mind that’s open to diverse music and a sense of adventure (and maybe a pair of ear plugs).

The evening began with promising weather, a balmy 84 degrees cooling to just below 70 as the night progressed. The regular summer rain had just passed, leaving a glowing rainbow in its wake as Christone “Kingfish” Ingram wrapped up his amazing Mississippi blues set. The atmosphere was set for what promised to be a memorable night.

Shane Smith & the Saints lit up Red Rocks with their second headlining show in as many years, marking a triumphant return to the iconic venue. The last time I saw them perform at Red Rocks, they were supporting Lucero in a subdued atmosphere dictated by COVID restrictions. It was a limited capacity, and limited frills show. Fast forward a few years, and they’ve transformed into a powerhouse act, selling out the venue with ease and delivering a performance that left the crowd on the fire on a cold spring night in Colorado.

Heilung unleashed an unparalleled spectacle under a luminous full moon. It was a mesmerizing, and at times overwhelming, performance—a convergence of ancient rituals, primal energy, and ethereal sounds.

There are some bands that seem to have a special connection with certain venues, and My Morning Jacket is one of them. The Kentucky quintet has been playing at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre since 2006, and each time they return, they deliver a show that is nothing short of spectacular. Their latest appearance, on a warm and clear summer night, was no exception.

The girls of boygenius are no strangers to the stage. Although still in their twenties, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus have been writing music and playing shows since their teens. All three artists have performed in front of Colorado fans since 2016, gracing stages at the likes of Lost Lake Lounge, Globe Hall, Bluebird Theatre, The Ogden, Mission Ballroom, and Red Rocks. Then, in 2018 that they joined as a band; united by a love for each other’s music coupled with their disgust with how “women in music” were defined and pitted against each other.

Suffice it to say that the buzz around King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard (or Gizz as the kids say) is justified. In addition to an incredibly prolific studio output, these guys simply bring it in the live setting. The energy that pours off the stage is nothing short of mind-blowing and the crowd gives it right back to them. It’s a cycle that obviously propels both the band and the audience to a very special place.

True to their word, over the course of three hours, the band played songs from no less than 15 albums dating all the way back to their 2012 debut 12 Bar Bruise with well over half the material having been released before the pandemic. It was truly an incredible show and one that cemented this band’s place on the Red Rocks schedule for years to come I would imagine

At this point in my concert going career, it’s fairly rare for me to go to Red Rocks to see a band for the first time. A few years ago I saw my first Stevie Wonder show at Red Rocks, my one and only Van Halen show was at Red Rocks and so was my only Lionel Richie experience. I’m sure there have been others but the list is short. So, when The War on Drugs, a band I’ve been chasing since at least 2016, announced their Red Rocks debut I didn’t care that it was a Monday night. I made it my business to get there.
