show report, leftover salmon + phil and the family band at red rocks sat 05/05

we flew in to denver on thursday, hit up some dispenseries and grabbed a meal at cherry creek in LoDo (highly recommend). from there we drove out to evergreen where we had a cabin rented on bear creek.

show was sold-out, great crowd of mostly older folks without too many knotheads. leftover salmon played two hours to start...i'd never listened to them before. the bluegrass stuff was pretty awesome, i didnt care for their spacier music (it was pretty boring actually) but that was a good chance to go upstairs and refresh. phil came out with them and played catfish john & big boss man, then they closed with a couple ripping bluegrass tunes.

phil & family band then started and played two tunes with LV, starting with a great cumberland and a viola lee blues. other highlights were UJB and a really great new speedway boogie. the guitarist from twiddle (?) came out last and they closed with fire and a scorching music never stopped.

really great show, lots of fun and obviously red rocks is the GOAT.

heres the setlists:
