Ironic lovely lana del rey unreleased lyrics
Some outdoor venues attempt to maximize the seating arrangement for economy, squeezing patrons together at the expense of comfort. The seats were concrete and wood, which were far more comfortable than they sound, with space underneath for stowing drinks, backpacks, small children and otherwise made for a relaxed open-air experience. Key differences between Red Rocks and many other venues I’ve been to certainly include the seats and the stage, and especially the sound. I figured that this was likely due the acoustics of the venue: the two outward-angled flat rocks combined with the gradual bell-shaped ascending slope of the audience seats serve to contribute to the venue’s impressive sound. At the stage, the sound setup appeared fairly moderate if not minimal for the size of the venue, given how many hundreds of people continued to pour into the many rows behind me. Shocked that I could even find a seat, I took notice of giant symmetrical flat rocks protruding up on both sides of the audience, the signature two “red rocks” of the acclaimed venue. On a mission to find a good spot, I weaved and leapt my way through until I found a narrow spot that was about twenty rows from the center stage. We all burst past security to see the beauty and grandeur of Red Rocks, some of us, for the first time. A brief frenzy erupted as the gates finally opened and fans were being let in. The atmosphere amongst the crowd was akin to a sugar rush, the kind only seen in post trick-or-treat Halloween pillages. The median age appeared to be about 16, with flower crowns, acid-wash short shorts and American flags aplenty. Shockingly, against all odds, the weather was calm and dry only moderate cool winds that were just a minor annoyance.
