The Cure
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

It’s been 29 years since The Cure released their first album and 19 years since their album Disintegration garnered them worldwide acclaim, but last night’s Red Rocks show didn’t show too many signs of aging for the iconic Godfathers of mopey, shoe-gazer indie rock.
The show was a greatest hits set, for sure, but it was delivered with sincerity and enthusiasm that made it a perfect fit for the night. That being said, four songs into the show, it could have gone either way. The band had yet to really get the crowd into the palm of their hand, but luckily they turned that around quickly.
Rumors had been circulating that front man Robert Smith was not feeling well and had even considered canceling the show, so the fact they came out and did three full hours, including three encores, was utterly amazing.

Margot and the Nuclear So and So
with Cameron McGill & What Army
Larimer Lounger - Denver, Colo.
Friday, May 16, 2008
By Brian F. Johnson
Cameron McGill isn’t one of the So and Sos, but he might as well be. The Chicago-based troubadour and Indianapolis indie group have long-held ties that bind and quite often where you find one, you’ll find the other.
So it was no surprise to learn that McGill would open Friday night’s show at the Larimer Lounge. What was surprising however, was what McGill revealed to Denver for the first time. McGill has for years been just a solo artist, bringing his highly intellectual and deep songwriting to the stage with simply a guitar in hand. But Friday night marked the first time that McGill performed in Colorado with his full band, What Army (as in “you and what army?,” but “you” here is Cameron … you follow?)

Duran Duran
Wells Fargo Theatre – Denver, Colo.
May 12, 2008
By Soren McCarty
Last night, ’80s new wave kings Duran Duran took the Wells Fargo Theatre by storm.
Going to this concert filled my cloudy mind with memories from a past that seems like a lifetime ago. I used to sit behind a girl named Christine in 7th grade algebra, she had a sweatshirt with John Taylor’s face airbrushed on it. This was her prized possession, like many other girls at my school Duran Duran was her favorite band.

Phil Lesh and Friends
Fillmore Auditorium - Denver, Colo.
May 8, 2008
By Brian F. Johnson
Ten years ago, had anyone told me that I’d duck out early on a show by an original member of The Grateful Dead - especially one that just ripped through “Eyes of the World,” “The Eleven” and “The Other One” - I would have told them that they’re out of the minds.
But, that’s just what happened last night (May 8, 2008) at the Fillmore in Denver for Phil Lesh and Friends.
The moderately crowded Fillmore seemed poised and the dirty twirlers were loving it, but time and time again throughout the night it seemed that Lesh and his cohorts failed to really capitalize on the crowd’s forgiving attitude and make the show a SHOW, and not a glorified rehearsal.

(New York, NY) – The four members of Phish accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award last night at the 7th Jammy Awards. It’s the first time the band stood onstage together since their final concert in Coventry,VT in 2004. The surprise reunion followed an emotional speech from longtime Phish photographer Danny Clinch.

My Report from the Nose Bleed Seats at The Jammys
On the scene coverage

After much hassle and finagling it seemed that I’d never get into The Jammy’s.
Will call? No ticket.
The other will call? No ticket.
Press will call? No ticket.
It’s not like I flew here from Colorado for this or anything. I began to feel like that character Adam Sandler used to play on Saturday Night Live – the loser concert reviewer, who never got to “attend the show,” as he used to say.
E-mail print out to the rescue. The press guy reads my e-mail confirming my two press tickets and said, “Damn, I’m gonna hear about this one. Sorry, there’s no more press tickets or laminates. Take these regular tickets and go in the front door.” Score! The nosebleediest of the nosebleeds — my favorite place.

Megadeth and Ministry Co-Conspire in Denver / April 12th 2008 / The Fillmore and The Ogden
By DJ Hippie
Web Exclusive
It was a glorious night for heavy music in Denver as two titans of the scene performed separate shows in what could easily qualify as one of the best nights ever for Colorado’s metal and industrial faithful.
The night was also a convergence of political protest with the well-thought political teachings of Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine and the straight-out hatred for the current administration that is conveyed by Ministry mastermind Al Jourgensen. Revolution was thick in the sleepy Colorado air.
The day actually started at 2pm with the launch of the 2008 North American run of Gigantour at The Fillmore with blistering bands like Children of Bodom and High on Fire warming up for the might of Megadeth. The Fillmore was packed and sweaty with a mix of younger fans and a smattering of old school “metal heads.”
