Pearl Jam and Red Rocks

Why hasnt Pearl Jam played Red Rocks? They played there in 95 but havent returned. Everyone hypes up the Gorge, MSG, Boston, CHI, LA, and all the other venues but everyone neglects Red Rocks and its potential. It seems like they would be able to top all those shows but they never play there. Maybe there should be a push for it. So we could see what happens.

    I've been asking & hoping for some Red Rocks shows for years. It would be a near perfect setting for them, in my opinion. A Vedder solo show would have been amazing there as well. I'm not giving up. I think they could realistically sell out 2-3 shows there. Hopefully it will happen in the next couple years.

    Yeah an Ed show solo would be pretty f'ing sick there. And they could easily do a 2 or 3 night stand. Guess we will just have to keep waiting. Seems like such a waste though with it just sitting there every summer.

    RED ROCKS....

    Funny that I should find this thread. I have never been to RR or even heard of it, until earlier. However, I was just researching the venue this morning for the TOOL shows that are coming this summer. The venue looks sweet. Can't wait. Looks like a great place to see ED or the entire band.

    15 years is way too f*ckn long :evil: . I'll have 1 hell of a party up at my place in the mountains if this ever happens again 8-) . Red Rocks is an unbelievably beautiful, majestic setting. I guarantee after parting with me before the shows ( why do only 1 show there) that your night will be magical :mrgreen: . My famous guacamole dip always keeps you smiling for hours :mrgreen:;).

    Was at Red Rocks in 95 and it was a great place to see the guys. It should definitely happen again. Hell, let Ed do a solo show night 1 and then full band night 2 or something unusual like that.

    Red Rocks is a great venue. if you have a good seat, the sound is amazing

    red rocks is amazing. i saw mmj there in '08. unfortunately i doubt pj will play there for a long time if ever. they are too huge right now. it's a general admission venue. could you imagine all the pj die hards trying to get up front for that? it would be a potential disaster. it could work, but i doubt it will happen. at least not in the near future.

    These were my first 2 shows. 9th row Mikes side night one. 2nd row center for night two. Not the debut for Long Road, 6/16/95 - Casper. But it was the first time they played the new Jeremy. We got there very early both days and I remember them sound checking Jeremy a bunch of times the first night. My friend and I were confused since that's a song they play so often. But it all made sense the next night when they played the new version.

    the DVD of night #2 was reportedly one of the famous series of "friend of the band" video shoots taken just behnd the soundboard like the Casper 1995 and Boston Orpheum 4/12/94 DVD's..

    BTW.. U2 put this venue on my radar screen with their famous "Under a Blood Red sky" concert film of their 6/5/83 concert in the puring rain...

    Dave Matthews Band has two official live boots from their shows in 1995, and the entire "weekend on the rocks" shows in 2005.

    whew!

    I'm done now..

    The seating arrangmement for RR varies from band to band and show to show...most shows are a combo of reserved up front with general admission in the back.
