Red Rocks is a natural amphitheater of steeply-dipping Jurassic rocks, with the audience facing east toward Denver. During the concert, a full moon started rising behind the stage and the audience started calling out "Moon, moon." Bruce thought the audience was booing, until he turned around. He played all my favorites. What a show.

Althought it wasn't at Red Rocks, I saw Bruce on this tour too, and it was the best concert of the literally hundreds I've been to. Second to Bruce was Queensryche on the Empire tour. In recent years I would have to say Linkin Park, Disturbed, Fishbone, Dave Matthews, aw hell, I could sit here for an hour naming really awesome concerts so I'll just stop now.
For the record, I hated the Rolling Stones live. Very disappointing.
