Colorado
Colorado has always been good to us, but this past weekend Colorado was really good to us. Playing Red Rocks was always a goal for the band, and we have been blessed to play there now four times. There really is nothing like the view from the stage - I wish I could express it in words - but just imagine the coolest thing in the world, and that's kind of what it's like. A big thanks to Gov't Mule (perhaps the nicest band/crew on the planet) for letting us tag along on sunday night.
We played the Fox on monday, attempting our first full acoustic show ever in our 10 1/2 year career together. I was a little anxious because it's kind of out of the box for us (and there were no pedals to hide behind), but the crowd really let us relax and get comfortable. So did Pony's wet bar. (Oh, and it always helps when they spell your name right on the marquee). I hope everyone there had a good time, cause I know we did. It was a small reunion of sorts with some of the STS9 guys there....props to Murph for another solid sit in.
To everyone there on monday, thanks for letting us get loose and rustic....after seeing the other guys reactions backstage afterwards, I can't imagine that this will be the last time we ever do an all acoustic show. The sing along vibe really comes out when the beers are flowing and Bob Seger is in the encore slot.
So thanks again, Colorado. We'll be seeing you in early 2009. Plugged in, of course.
