Tattoo The Earth at Red Rocks. This was a bruiser of a day. No shade and temps near 100 for a show that started at 2 in the afternoon. Kick it off with a few beers, some reefer certainly, and a big scoop of mushrooms. Seemed like a great idea in the shady parking lot. It mostly was but I'm not sure I full recommend tripping balls in heat like that. We powered on through it.
Big show. 20 some odd bands. The above poster for the Red Rocks date lists Coal Chamber but I don't remember seeing them. There were so many bands the first 12 bands or so set up on opposite sides of the large Red Rocks stage. Band on right would play their short set. Then band on left played while the crew tore down and setup on the right side. Wash repeat.
One of those early on the bill bands was, and is, one of my favorites. Downset from Los Angeles. Part of that genre break off of Hardcore and Hip-hop. Lots of groups took a swing at and but few succeeded. Downset being one of the innovators of that scene was always head and shoulders above everyone in my mind.
This is their short but sweet set from that day.
