We flew out of Dulles on 8/22 bound for Denver, CO. I chose to spend the night in Denver that night in the Highlands area and left for Dillon, CO in the morning. The weather was phenomenal all week. The Dillon shows were great and the venue is much more intimate than Red Rocks. We had some lodging issues and ended up heading back to Denver earlier than planned. We stayed at the Le Meriden in downtown Denver and the stay was excellent. The shows at Red Rocks were awesome and as always the people met were awesome as well. Dinners at Corinne, Root Down, and Stout Street Station were excellent. We finally made it home at 3am on the 28th. This will likely be my last time out to Colorado for a little while.

We saw Goose at the Chrysalis at Merriweather Post Pavilion on Saturday. I’ve been to Merriweather many times over the years but I’ve never seen a show at the Chrysalis stage. This was our first live Goose show and we were not disappointed. We managed to get pit and the fans were pretty darn great. Really nice people make the pit a nice place to be albeit a little hot. I scored an autographed poster as well. I can’t wait to see them again. Helluva good jam band.

We saw the Wood Brothers on Friday at Wolftrap. They opened for Greensky Bluegrass. I can’t wait till Wood Brothers are the headliners. I would love to hear a 2 hour set from them. It was my first show at Wolftrap Center for the Performing Arts and it is very nice venue.
