I'm not sure if the band has ever been there or not, but damn can people imagine PJ in the foothills under the stars? It would be absolutely amazing! I saw REM there last year (first show at Red Rocks) and it was unbelievable. Rocky Mountain Region let your voices be heard and let's try to get a show or two at Red Rocks!

    It would be great to see Pearl Jam play Red Rocks again. Or maybe .. an EV solo show @ Red Rocks this summer. Being that he's got a show happening on the West Coast, why not add another?

    This comes up every once and a while. It's right up there with the Gorge as being one of the best venues in North America. It's on my bucket list, and it would probably take a PJ show for me to get around to going.

    I think the major issue is venue capacity. I think it's only 10000 people. Given how little PJ tours, I'm not sure how eager they are to play venues that small. I often wonder if the reason they haven't been back since '95 is capacity. People counter-argue that they could play 5 shows or something, but they could also do 5 shows somewhere else and sell twice as many tickets.... that's a hard decision from a band that tours lightly :(

    If they ever do play there, I'm in. There's a road trip I want to do. Head over to Montana/Wyoming and head south through those states. Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Monument Valley.. all sorts of stuff I'd like to see down there. Red Rocks would kind of be in the middle of that. If PJ did a show there it would be the perfect time to do the road trip.

    Ticket's will be extremely hard to get though. It would be an "event" show. Lots of people like myself would travel for it. Even if they did 5 shows, it would still be tough :( We'd all want tickets to all 5 shows :)

    This is the combination best idea while being the most realistic - Ed at Red Rocks!

    Ed doing a Red Rocks solo show would be INSANE!! Dude is playing an ancient theater in Italy @ Taormina in June for two nights. Why not play two nights @ one of the most beautiful amphitheaters in the USA.
