A Rocking time.. part 1

Rocking at the Academy....
This was one experience which is almost impossible to describe in words and any attempt would almost certainly paint the wrong picture. So if interested I will narrate it to you when we meet in person.

Rocking at the Red rock amphitheater...
Sadly and oddly enough this was my first concert in US. Sadly because since coming here I have passed up golden opportunities to watch some of my rock idols. And oddly because I know that a live concert never fails to give you your moneys worth.

With wide eyed bewilderment I can hear you asking.... "Tell us why, oh wise one".
Ok, if you insist on knowing the reasons, here are two that come to mind..
a. A good crowd can turn a half-decent band into legends of rock and historic venues always attract great crowds,
b. Not every Tom Dick and Harry gets a chance to play at these venues...
The Red Rock amphitheater has a 3rd thing to add to its list "Location". It is quiet literally carved into a red rock cliff and is flanked by two huge rocks providing perfect acoustics. A panoramic view of Morrison valley and the glittering lights of downtown Denver on the horizon create a surreal experience. Needless to say the concert was a memorable one. I will spare you the details but will leave each one of you to walk down memory lane and relive your memorable concert.

However, I would like to share a few lessons learned.
Lesson #1 - If a group of girls (with no guys with them) ask your help to chauffeur them to the ticket stands, to buy tickets for a friend who decided to join them last min. For that moment you are a hero, cash in on the moment and get tickets for yourself too...duh..
Lesson #2 - If 2 good-looking-bordering-on-hot girls (again with no guys) passionate about the venue, plead (well almost plead) you to attend the concert and sell you on the idea. Don't just get tickets; get their numbers too so that you can hook up with them during the concert... duh..

Rocking in the Rockies..
...coming soon... :)
