That's correct folks. The men, the myth, the beards.
We had the high privilege of supporting the classic rock veterans for two nights in beautiful Colorado.
First was The Belly Up in Aspen, 8,000 feet high in the Rocky Mountains. To play the remarkable Belly Up for a second time was a treat in itself let alone to share the bill with rock 'n roll legends. It is a rare treat to experience the level of professionalism and shear quality of sound that The Belly Up provides and to couple that with a sold out, packed to the gills club was truly a magical event.
We had the privilege to hang briefly with possibly the coolest human being in existence after the show: Billy Gibbons.
The man is simply cooler than cool, chatting at the bar with the lucky few that could stick around after the show, and what a show it was. The energy was positively palpable and the extensive catalog of hits impressive to say the least.
The very next night was quite another treat, playing the Paramount Theatre in downtown Denver.
The sold out (and baked out) crowd was chomping at the bit for some tasty grooves and gave us an extremely warm reception. And it was an honor to witness mere feet away from the side of the stage, these smooth, stylish gents own the crowd with their musical prowess and charisma.
Suffice to say, after the turmoil of the previous week, these two glorious nights were something special and a welcome respite from the travails of the road. Sometimes, I guess you got to endure a little suffering to get to the sweetness in the center.
Up next we continue our journey in the beautiful, warm (thank God) Southwest.
More soon...
For now I'll leave you with this fun pic.
