Red Rocks July 4th 2008, The 18th Annual Blues Traveler Concert.Hana Pestle opened the show, she is new upcoming artist. She reminds me abit of Tori Amos. I Picked up her EP last night and listed to it, It's a 4 song Ep but shows her potenial as an upcoming artist. Collective Soul took the stage next. Out of all the bands who played, I felt they were the best. They played all the hits and a couple off the new cd. During Shine, the audience Joined in the singing. It was pretty sweet. As they left the stage Roland played Lightning Stikes while walking off with the blue acoustic guitar. I would go and see them again. Live on the other hand wasnt all that good. Granted im not a big fan but now i know why. I like lightning strikes and I Alone. They cover Johnny Cash "I Walk The Line". It was horrific. It seemed like the lead singer was in love with himself, pulling of the shirt, pants falling and half the times it seems he was singing through his nose. The Blues Traveler came on at sunset. They are a great jam band. I was bummed they didn't play "Back In the Day" but alwell. They did cover Cheap Trick " I Want You To Want me" Also 3 songs from the 4th coming cd. During the set, Collective Soul Guitarist came out and him and John Popper had abit of a battle, it was sweet, guitar vs harmonica. I don't know if i will go back next yr but i defently go back for the 20th show. It will have to be some kinda great show.
