Subject: My 28th Show This whole run is really, really solid. The boys showed they were in a great mood. From Big Boss Man to the double encore - you don't see that every day. I especially like Loser and Cassidy from the 1st set. Jerry's solos are quintessential Jerry. I also like that they followed up with Far From Me and Box - getting everyone into the act. Jerry's really pushing the envelope in the outro of He's Gone - maybe something to do with the OD at the campground that weekend. Gimme Some Lovin' is strong, as is Not Fade Away. Jerry's solo after the second verse in NFA - again, quintessential Jerry, just perfect. A great ending to my 21st birthday weekend, and my first (only) Red Rocks shows. - January 27, 2017My 28th Show

Subject: We're gonna kick ass!! Of all things, "Gimme Some Lovin" is the highlight of this show. Brent and Phil belted out the vocals on it and really did kick ass as promised! I saw all the Red Rocks shows in the 80's and this was one of the better ones. aadelma@yahoo.com -- April 5, 2011We're gonna kick ass!!

Subject: Last Show On The Rocks The home of my first show in '84 and like a home away from home for all of the mid-late '80's. This run did have a special place in time as it precluded the Telluride 'Harmonic Convergance' weekend! What a great week of music, friends, and fun:) So many incredible memories! - February 1, 2011Last Show On The Rocks

Subject: I remember Kurt I have so many great memories of these nights, and yes, I remember Littlewing 'cause he was camped in the adjacent site to ours at Chief Hosa - I remember coming back from the gig to our entire area roped off with police tape and the feeling in my gut when I heard the story of his compadres who laid him against a tree as he died 'cause they didn't know what else to do - the tragedy of this day shaped how I viewed the Dead scene thereafter - So many dear friends were lost to drugs in those days...I am sincerely glad to have placed my priority on the music rather than the scene; to still be here today to listen to these amazing recordings and to relive the good and the bad times and feel special because I was there at all - Blessings on all those who seek and journey - February 1, 2011I remember Kurt

Subject: Overdose In The Parking Lot He's Gone Anyone Remember Kurt Littlewing Found Unconcious In The Chief Henry Hose'Campground. That Was 08/12/1987. So I Believe That The Word Got To The Band And Jerry Really Ramped It Up During He's Gone on 08/13/1987. The Vocals Will Take You To The Moon...

Subject: 1/2 of an amazing show the first half of this concert is sloppy and slow but the second half blew me away. The sound is different than i've ever heard before and definetly worth a listen, especially the second set.



ps. this stream has bad breaks inturrupting transitions. - August 14, 20071/2 of an amazing show

Subject: jboyaquar Is an idiot This show rocks This is a great show and the first set was pretty cool.I have not herd boss man in a while and Row is just smoking.Jerry is playing his heart out and you very well will notice it.It seems that everybody is on the same track and having a good time and you hear it when phil is singing and laughs while doing so.There is a lot of energy and there is a good vibe going on this night.I was only 17 when I was at this show but it seem like it was just last week.The crowd and band seemed to feed off one another this night and all I can say it stayed in my memory cuz it was one of the best shows I ever went to.I give it 4 stars I think I only ever gave 5 stars once cuz well thats a perfect show.I am not very good at giving reveiws to so Ireally only do it on the shows that I really like.

Subject: jboyaquar should shut his pie hole and review shows he attended, if any! All three of these shows on the Rocks were a blast as have been every year. This third night had a great Sunday like feel for a Thursday. The buzz for Telluride was in everyone's blood and at this point nobody knew Bill Graham had made sure there'd be plenty of tickets for those who'd make the journey. If you feared an attempt on T-ride you could hang for a Neil Young show on the Rocks that weekend. Back to this show, it RAINED. Hard until about show time. Pretty festive atmosphere with many in the crowd sporting orange ponchos with printing "I got rained on on the rocks". This summer ('06) I saw these sold again for the first time since. I love the unique feel of this show and its a nice first set list for the era. Opening with the first Big Boss Man since '85 and the fifth one since '71! I rest my case on the idiocy of jboyaquar. Second sets opening with Uncle John's is always beautiful. Set back for story time children. The harmonies were great, as good as the boys can ever muster and we loved em for the attempts. Great long second set and closing Red Rocks forever with what we called at the time a triple encore; NFA->TOUCH->HEAVEN'S DOOR. By the way jboyaquar, this way the first Heaven's Door with only GD members on stage, Pittsburgh and the Dylan shows were before. jboyaquar your reviews are dry and offer no useful info and you have no grasp of GD vernacular, stick with shows you attended or beat it! - August 31, 2006jboyaquar should shut his pie hole and review shows he attended, if any!
