I promised a review of The Killers concert at Red Rocks last week, but that is going to be pretty hard for me to do. The reason? The show was canceled after only two songs! The announcement at the show was that the lead singer, Brandon Flowers, had a vocal injury. But later it was reported in the news that he was recovering from bronchitis and tried to do the show anyway. A couple of other shows have been canceled over the past few days as well, but there is a show in Vancouver tonight that appears to be going on as scheduled.

Prior to The Killers “performance” the band Hot Hot Heat performed, along with another opening band, so it wasn’t a complete waste of time. Our friends Phil, Doni, Chris, and Kelly made the trip with us while taking a nice vacation from Kansas City. We had a jammed packed weekend with all of them in town, and for a full recap of the events check out Phil’s blog. I could write my own recap, but I think we would have a lot of repeat content and his is probably more entertaining anyway.

    I was looking for the pictures as well. I wanted to see where Martin took the tumble. Sounds like you all had a great weekend. To bad about the concert but isn’t Red Rock a great place to see a show. Let us know when the pictures are ready for viewing.

    YES, I have cleverly moved the responsibility for posting pictures of my weekend over to your website, SWEET!!!

    I only wanted them for my personal viewing while waiting for you to put them up on your site. I have a small batch of pictures that Kim or I took that I will sort through soon and add to the site. This should buy a little time for you to get your pictures up on your site.

    I am definitely interested in this Cabo trip. Have to talk to Kim about it…

    Edit: Pictures from Red Rocks on Friday are up on the site.
