It is a bit odd that UM plays red rocks plenty, and they used to play Boulder theater every year, so I assume UM management is friendly enough with Don and AEG. But UM still returns to the Fillmore. Maybe they get some kind of money or special treatment at the Fillmore? I can’t imagine the band just loves that room or something.
AEG does have radius-clause things for bands playing red rocks, but that stuff can always be applied or not applied if AEG feels like it.
Heard the Mission is the spot. Unlimited re-entry and lawless.
They should play both. They’ve done RR and Fillmore runs plenty of times in the same year.
the mission is a fantastic indoor venue, but I agree that it’s hard to beat red rocks
I wish they still played boulder theater occasionally. I dont like travelling a whopping 2 hours to see UM
My first 45 or so shows were all at least a 3 hour drive away. Hard to summon that energy these days
I’ll deal with y’all naysayers in the morning. But it’s red rocks fluff until a month from now
if you moved to Michigan you probably wouldnt have to travel as long to see UM
Come to Daddy!
Can’t wait to be bitching about Dillon’s early curfew this time next week. Going to have to find something to be salty about seeing Umphrey’s outdoors in the mountains.

That show was a blast. Some dude on the old Bort sold me second row pit tickets Bayliss side. That venue was phenomenal. So glad I got to see them at the Fox in St. Louis!
FF > Weird Fishes would be pretty sweet if done right. May need to check this one out
If you do spin it, don’t sleep on the palindrome in the second set. I think all three jams are worth listening to. None are otherwordly but back to back to back at the time in that venue on whatever L i was that night was something else. I think I might just listen to those myself right now.
2nd set is so good. I was at like 20 shows without a Phil’s Farm so when the opening notes struck I got so jacked before getting bamboozled.
Rseo → The Message is fun, the palindrome is straight butter and the Triple Wide isn’t bad by '14-'16 standards.
Blue Echo has a fierce 6 minute dance jam
@WhoDatVols, spin it
@WhoDatVols , you heard the man!
I’m currently in the Kitchen jam about to karate chop my monitor in half…shit is HOT!
This bleacho is really sick
Bring sunglasses. A lot of the venue gets blinded by direct sunlight as it sets behind the stage.
My biggest Dillon complaint
took your advice and booked at the heaton bay campground btw
Hell yeah. I would have offered for you to join but we’re going to be tight on space with a few tents as it is. Come kick it after the show though: sites D53 and I think my buddy Jerry has D54. You met Jerry last year, he’s the one who had us over after the show.
