A few more things I remembered from yesterday...

I forgot my ear plugs in the car, so I ran down to the car during CS's sound check to get them, thank goodness it was freaking loud!

Apparently it was a bad day for guitarists... The rhythm guitarist for CS was having all sorts of pedal/cable problems during the entire set and then Chad had a few pedal problems of his own.

Is this something new... Ed didn't sign "bitch" during Waitress. He just mumbled thru it.

Ed forgot to grab the megaphone for the first line of W,D, so he ran back to the drum kit to grab it after the rest of teh guys had already started the song, but was a little late so the first few words were missing ("It was an evening I shared"), he started with "[sh]ared with the sun..."

Merch had the signed drumheads and setlists, the black tour T with tour dates, a retro "Get on the bus" T w/o dates, a cool light green girly T, and the normal key rings, postcards, etc.

We left our seats for the Blues Traveller set to grab some dinner and waters. We have seen them before and tire of them very quickly. Jam bands don't do it for us, 20 minute versions of songs just grate on my nerves. But, the crowd seemed to be totally into them. We watched the fireworks over Denver from near the merch table and then headed out.

The guys are in good form, I can't wait to see them on Wednesday in Seattle with a headlining set. They have to be totally jet lagged though, Europe early in the week, Colorado on Friday, the weekend in Hawaii and back to Seattle on Wednesday. I hope they can keep this energy and form up. Makes me wish they were playing a club tour, but it was great to see them at Red Rocks, it is truely a special place. What an amazing day!
