I'm trying to get caught up. My wife really wanted to see them and I just go along. Really digging them so far.

just bought a ticket to see wu-tang clan with the colorado symphony orchestra. . . at red rocks, on my birthday. . . effin' score. . .
Got tix for Overkill, Demolition Hammer, and Sworn Enemy in November
Overkill and DH are fantastic live.
Going to see Trail of Dead this weekend at the Larimer Lounge. Was kinda so-so about it at first, but their new stuff is good. It's like the old stuff, they didn't do the 'we need to be relevant' thing, they stuck with what they are good at.
Going to two big shows this summer, Red Hot Chili Peppers at Empower Field and NIN at Red Rocks and I absolutely hated getting tickets to both through Ticketmaster/AXS. The most recent John Oliver did a great job of explaining why these companies SUCK so much:

In Vegas for the week. Seeing Garth Brooks tonight at Allegiant Stadium. About to head out.
Seeing Sting tomorrow night.
Reports will follow.
Could never get into country even though my best friend tried however i do like Sting/The Police. Synchronicity was one of the first cassettes i ever owned.
This years Maryland Deathfest, my friends band got to play it this year and i was extremely happy for them as they got a good crowd especially for opening up the day way earlier than expected.

As usual, Garth Brooks put on one of the best live performances you can find anywhere. Even if you don't like country, I don't see how you couldn't have a blast at a Garth show. I wouldn't consider myself a country fan, but I enjoy some of it, and don't mind listening to it. Garth just blows the doors off at his shows.
He absolutely killed it.
Sting, the next night was good. But seemed kind of low energy in the wake of a Garth Brooks stadium show. I'm glad I got to see him live. Also, learned something I've never known. . . Sting likes country music and has written a few songs. He played one that I previously had only known as a Johnny Cash recording: "I Hung My Head".
So, while the show was kind of "meh", I came away even more impressed with the breadth of Sting's songwriting abilities.

Did you stay at Wynn or Encore? I stayed at Wynn years ago and it was one of the best rooms I've stayed in, we were looking recently and was surprised that Encore was more expensive than Wynn? I thought it was the other way around, maybe just cause they're newer?
This is so true! I wasn't the biggest Garth fan but heard his shows were amazing..so a few years ago my wife was able to score some tickets and we drove thru a snow storm to watch him play the Tacoma Dome... I was so impressed and blown away by his performance. If he ever comes back around and the tickets don't sell out in 20 min, I'll probably go see him again..
