Aaaah... this will be show #5 of 5 for me this tour. Unless of course MSG gets added, and then it will be #5 of 6


Flying out from Baltimore with my wife and another couple, and maybe my brother.
I've been to Red Rocks twice, but not for Rush.

Got decent seats left side Row 14, and dead center Row 24. Haven't decided which to keep and which to give to my friends yet.

Looking forward to some rocky mountain high tailgating

My hubby and I will be there. My first trip to Colorado. I can't wait! We have 23rd row on Alex's side, on the outer aisle.

Us too SD40! . PM me your flight stuff. Maybe we'll have the same flight! Or we can meet at the airport (ORD).

Hi everyone!

I got one seat 9th row off center to Geddy's side. I also got one seat row 17 several seats in from the end of the section. I'm probably gonna sell that one.

Me and my hubs and another couple will be there, Reserved section 1, row 14!!!!
Cannot wait to see RUSH in this venue!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure where we're staying yet....
What about everyone else????????

Excellent! More Chicagoans! This is gonna be a great trip! I'll PM you.

Flying in from Baltimore for this show. This will be my fiance's first Rush show.

Row 7, next to the soundboard.

I have 2 tickets to sell as well. Row 18, Geddy's side. Will sell for face value ($230.00).

I'm there. Row 16 right side. I saw them on the R30 show, nearly dead center row 3. Won't be so fortunate or spendy to see them that close this time. This will be show 2 of 3.

We will be there! arriving the day before and hoping we can meet some fellow fans!

I'll be there!

As a local, I would HIGHLY recommend getting there early, assuming weather is good. (It usually is, all summer long...)

I'll be BBQing, drinkin, smokin, and playing all the random, obscure Rush I can find at high volumes throughout the afternoon.

One small piece of advice for you sea-level dwellers: You may want to cut back on the alcohol consumption a bit for this show. If you aren't acclimated to the altitude, it can make 2 beers feel like a six pack. Wouldn't want you to spend your Red Rocks Rush experience worshipping at the porcelain altar!

Will arriving the day before help for us sea-level dwellers?

We are staying at the Holiday Inn Lakewood....close to red rocks...

Hey,
I've been a member here forever but could never sign in. Had to start the whole registration process again. Anyway I am 15 min. from Red Rocks. I will be up there early in the day trying to get an autograph or maybe a photo like Rushgirl. I won 2nd row seats which is practically on stage at RR. Possibly doing a BBQ at my house the day before the show. That will depend on when I fly home from the show in Utah on 8/6. Also going to see them in Chicago 9/8. Hope to meet you all at Red Rocls.

Thank you for the advice (and I'm sure my hubby does as well). I'll have to remember that. I have a tendancy to drink ALOT of beer when having a good time while not even realizing just how much I've actually drank. That would suck being sick at a Rush show (at any show for that matter).

Ditto that for me!!! I guess I'll be a cheap date on this trip!!!!

Although FEG will be there to hold my hair back for me

I have never had a problem with the altitude. Now at 11,000 feet (top of Breckenridge, Vail, etc), it can make a difference. It's drinking in the sun that gets a little sketchy.

Beer flows in my veins. I'll have to pace myself for a long tailgate.

Gotta remember to sneak in a beer coozie to keep the brew cool and delicious.

Not really, it takes weeks for your body to adjust.

As "I the Jury" mentioned, Red Rocks is only a bit above Denver altitude, 6,000 feet or so, not up at 11,000+ feet like the Summit County resorts. When people visit here from sea-level, and instantly go up to 12,000 feet and try to ski / snowboard, lots of 'em get sick. Go figure. Going from sea level to 6,000 feet isn't nearly as big a shock to your system, many folks won't notice much, but the altitude affects everyone a bit differently.

I'm certainly not suggesting you refrain from partying... THIS IS A RUSH SHOW AT RED ROCKS, YA KNOW~!!!

Waitin till August...

Cool thanks for the advice!!

Excellent S&A Tat!!!!!

HELLO folks... new member here! Been a Rush fan since 1977 when I used to sit and listen to my friend practice the bass and drum parts from vinyl. I'll be in Row 6 near center (and the Vegas show). Hope to meet lots of you freaks and fanatics. Can't wait for the show!!! The last time I was at Red Rocks was the R30 show. This is gonna be GREAT!!!

Welcome dude!

Forgot to mention we'll be staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Golden. All that business travel has given me over a weeks' free stay at HIE.

Other than some kickass hiking, what should we do or see during our week in CO? I've really only been there in the winter.

Did I mention I like beer?

I do have a friend in Denver with some....shhhh....connections...

Thank you sooooooo much!!!

There's lots of good hiking out of the Golden area, you also may want to take a trek up to Boulder. There are many great hikes starting from the NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) building, which is in SW boulder at the end of Table Mesa Drive. You can park for free in the parking lot there, and trails start right off the back edge of the research center.

Many local breweries offer tours (samples included!), you may want to check around for schedules.

www.boulderbeer.com
Boulder Beer Company offers tours M-F at 2 PM, or by appointment.

I'm not sure about tours here, but MMMMMMMMM, I love me some Redpoint Amber Ale and Out of Bounds Stout!

Elves checking in for Red Rocks!

I have reserved a yurt for Golden Gate State park for the 6th and 7th for a bit of rustic camping and communing with nature beforehand!

Living below sea level does tend to make me a bit altitude sensitive so I will be taking it easy!

I have always wanted to see a show at this venue so I am really looking forward to seeing RUSH there!

I live about 15 minutes from Red Rocks and for those planning to visit, I would recommend going up to Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park. You can picnic, hike, check out sites from over 14,000 ft up and there is a town near there, Estes Park where you can walk around and eat and buy tourist stuff.

Ill be there, front row center!

Question for the local folks - is the Lakewood South area decent? Looking for a place to crash, and that general area seems to be pretty close...

If you're just looking for a place to crash, Lakewood is a decent area. It's somewhat eccentric, and there are older and cheaper motels, coffee shops, restaurants, and other big city stuff down the road.
Also very close to Red Rocks. I'd suggest W. Colfax, Wadsworth and Almeda Ave. I'd consider it a relatively safe area.

I know a number of people that are staying right off Quincy and the freeway, which is south Lakewood. There is also a Hampton Inn right down the road from RR in Golden and a Holiday Inn on Colfax in Golden, I think those are closer.

Thanks for the heads up - think I'll try to set something up in that neck of the woods.
BTW - Snakes - I saw your post about the SLC seats - I already have mine in that section - row E on the outer end. Stop by and say hi!

I'll be seated on the 11the row, #90.

I'm looking forward to meeting fellow Peeps, local and from out of town. I live in this cowtown, so let me know if I can be of assistance to any of you concert-goers.

:X)

Hey... if any of you locals have a portable charcoal grill you could bring along that would rock. I'd be glad to buy burgers/dogs/rolls/condiments, etc.. I'm pretty handy on the grill

I am bringing a grill.

Top north parking lot. Just below the circle. See you there. Check the pre-party thread for details.

Hey folks,

I won't be able to make it to the tailgate after all, but I will be in Row 6 on Alex's side, hoping to meet some people there. Went to the Vegas show and had a blast; I was the one jammin' hard in the corner near the floor. Only a few days to RR and I can't wait! Again, I'll be the idiot going crazy in the 6th row.

Mark

I'll be in the third row, center, come over and say hello. I will be the one with the Rush shirt on (sorry I had to do that) I am a small blonde and yes I will have my Rush shirt on and my hubby is a native american. You will probably spot him before you see me.

My wife and I will be making a road trip from Omaha, NE to see this show. We're going to spend a few days in Estes Park, and then drive into Denver for the show. I've always wanted to see a show at Red Rocks, and for that show to be Rush...in the 12th row...well, all the better!
Can't wait.

I'll come chat with you!

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing everyone, and I'll be there early enough to say hello to you folks. Only 3 days left and psyched to the max! PS - is it 'okay' to use your name on a message board? I only started using this since becoming a member of the CP board.

Mark

I can't see why using your name could be a bad thing (allthough I can understand your concern.) I haven't been stalked yet (...as ar as I know.... is Ouchie after me?)

I LOVE Estes Park I go up there all the time. Not only will you have a great time there but the RR show will be amazing. Stop by my seat 3rd row center
