I grew up in Colorado so I've been to this venue many times over the years but it's been around 25 years since I moved away. I'd been telling my wife what a great place it is to see an artist and she had been wanting to go ever since. When ticket for Jason Mraz, one of her favorite artists, showed up online, I figured this would be the perfect show to introduce her. I was a little worried that maybe my memories were skewed by youth and I was hoping she'd fall in love with Red Tickets Amphitheatre the way I had. The drive in is beautiful and there were people directing traffic for us to park. We took a backpack with a wrap and a blanket. They allow empty or sealed water bottles too. We did the hike to the lower gate and she was impressed with the space. (My wedding vows were to make her life awesome so I have a lot to live up to!) We found our seats and spread out a blanket to sit on. The views here are spectacular with the rocks and the city of Denver of in the distance. We live at sea level now so the hike and the stairs seem to take a little longer than they did when I lived here 30 years ago, but then again it was like getting a workout and a show together. When the performers started, she was with impressed how good the accoustics are. The sound is crisp and clear unlike arenas where everything seems to be echoing and muddy in general. The whole vibe of the crowd was relaxed and they're to enjoy the show. Wee stayed until it was over, walked back to the car, and we're back out in a little while. It was nice to see pretty much everyone alternated in the parking lot and the exit was pretty uneventful. If you love live music and want to see it in a unique space that you'll never forget, you owe it to yourself to check out Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
