I'm with Brian, the show was amazing. The band was on the entire night and fed off the large audience. The crowd was totally into things by I Walk the Line. The reactions to I Alone, Lakini's Juice, and Lightning Crashes were off the charts! Brian's setlist seemed accurate except that the band did not play White, Discussion, they played Lakini's Juice instead. Ed tried using the megaphone for that song, but figured out he sounded better with just the microphone.
Ed's voice was amazing and totally tonight as well. He also thanked both bands and mentioned how excited Live was to be a part of this summer tour. He said its going to be one big party all summer long! Sounds good to me!

Red Rocks is an amazing venue. I had awesome seats due to the SOY presale(ROW 27, dead center) and it was worth every penny to come to Colorado for this show. This summer should be one fun ride!

Thanks for the correction, I was typing the setlist in my phone during the show.

Everything was running behind schedule, I assume since it was the first night of the tour. The gates opened about an hour late and Hana Pestle's opening set got sut even shorter than is was supposed to be. She was pretty good, the crowd was very apprective towards her. This tour is a big break for her. We ran into her later, she is the nicest person. Support new artists and pick up her CD if your going to the show.

Collective Soul was OK, I was surprised that I new so many of their songs. I just don't get Ed R's stage presence, he must have watched too many Sammy Haggar videos when he was growing up. After thier set he came out to the front of teh stage and took pictures and shook hands with people, very cool of him to do.

Great set by the boys last night, the guys seemed to be having a good time. I assumed it would be a majority Blues Traveller fans, everyone around us was there for BT, but were totally into the Live set, especially "the hits." It was a short set, 75 minutes, but they packed in a lot of songs. I am looking forward to seeing them headlining on Wednesday in Seattle. Chad was stomping and Pat was gooving on the bass. Chad stomped so hard he lost his sunglasses

I've been to Red Rocks several times and seen some amazing shows there, but sitting right up front is a totally different experience. You can see the expressions on the guys faces and hear 9,000 people cheering behind you, it was truly an amazing day.

Stupidly I forgot to pack the cable for our digital camera, so I'll have to wait to post pictures until we get back from our vacation.

More later,
Brian
