Matt and I spent Labor Day WE catching the amazing Killers live shows in Aspen. At BellyUp Aspen we experienced one of the most exciting concerts I've ever attended. BellyUp is a ~400 person gate venue with spectacular sound - we secured the best seats in the house - 30 ft away with completely unobstructed views above the mosh pit. The playlist and performance was powerful and amazing - this was a very special engagement. Matt rightly expressed he felt were on some special list of industry insiders - and we were. The guy next to us was the venture capitalist who sponsored the show and there were celebs around the house. For me it was finally getting to catch the Killers live show - and spectacularly in a venue not soon forgotten. Here they're playing Spaceman - my fave.
For Saturday we also secured tix for the JAS Experience in Snowmass where the Killers were Saturday's headliners (Friday was Train and Sunday is Stevie Wonder & Duran Duran - hmmm). We stayed in Snowmass Fri night and Sat AM caught some limited release brews at the Ranger Station there - Watermelon Lime Ale and Hop Kitchen, an unfiltered Mandarin IPA. We endured some rain and cold for the JAS show but again the Killers were outstanding. Big venue sound system and powerful stage lighting were cool. New set list - different arrangements - some new songs. It was outstanding but in comparison to the night before nothing could. I vowed to find the other venues in the country like BellyUp and get their event listings... just wow. Too, a great overdue weekend with the kid.
