Venue - The beautiful Red Rocks amphitheater
Seat location - Row 1
Experience - Not Safe For Work

Never having experienced it myself yet, I'd still bet that it's an unbelievable place. I'd put it up there with the Gorge and Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC). Moving up the list though would be the recently experienced Jones Beach theater on Long Island. Where was the last time you were at a concert that the arena rivaled the show itself?

I've been getting my mind blown for 11 years.

Night two of DMB at Jones Beach lived up to the (i.e. my) expectations placed upon it. Highlights included the "Carter Show" (Two Step), Seek Up debuting, and of course the wicked sick (yes, wicked sick) rendition of Jimi Thing. The new song Alligator Pie is evolving nicely as well. The night's set is below and nerdy links for songs are provided if they weren't repeated from the night before (only two repeats):

Not to date myself too much, but I've been seeing these guys live for 11 years now, and I must say that they're better than ever. They're having fun, playing what they want when they want. Songs have evolved into distant versions of what they once were. If you've never seen them live, do it. They should be up on your list with the Bob Dylans and KISSes of the world. Just make sure it's a "night 2."
