Apparently Dire Straits will be touring this summer--a show has been
announced for Red Rocks Amphitheater, Morrison, CO (just west of Denver),
Sept. 4.
It may be a little far-fetched for people to plan to head out this way from
very far, BUT if you're also a DeadHead, the Dead are playing right after
that: Sept. 5-6-7. You might want to get here for the whole bunch.
The place is wonderful for concerts--incredible scenery (it's formed by
several LARGE hunks of rock, part of the same formation as makes the Garden
of the Gods further south), great acoustics, nice view of city lights a
decent distance off, and frequently some spectacular light shows from
thunderstorms on the plains to the east. Worth a little travel. I don't
have anything like a complete list, but some of the other acts announced
already are:
Eric Clapton
Crosby, Stills, & Nash
Spirogyra
Shadowfax
B.B. King
Santana
