edpaffjr.comKim and I headed out to Red Rocks last night to see another one of my all time favorite bands, 311. I often forget about 311 when mentioning my favorite bands, but I still try to catch them anytime they play a show near me. I’m a big fan of their older music, and still know most of their newer material.
Last night started off a little rough with storms passing through the area as show time approached. Fortunately there were two opening bands, and we brought a cooler of beer, so we just sat in the parking lot and waited for the weather to clear up. And it did, just in time for 311 to play. We caught the end of Matisyahu’s set and even though I thought his show was great a couple of years ago, I think his moment of fame is up, at least for me.
311 played a great set full of tons of my favorites from back in the day. We watched this show from very close to the top of the amphitheater, and despite the strong winds it still sounded pretty good. Besides it was cool to see the show with a lightning storm going on in the distant background. I really enjoy the song “Creatures (For A While)” and was glad to hear it as the last song played of the night. Once the official setlist is posted I will update with a link to it.
