I live just a few minutes from Red Rocks, the world famous amphitheater carved out of a beautiful red rock canyon in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Lots of famous musicians and groups have played there through the years. Probably most famous was the band U2 who recorded an EP and concert movie there. Taking side streets, it only takes me about 10 minutes to drive there. We've been there several times to go hiking. It's a beautiful place. I remember watching the U2 Concert film called "U2 - Live at Red Rocks" and thinking how beautiful it was. I never knew it was in Colorado and I never expected to be living just a few short minutes away. I can hardly wait to see a concert there. I'm waiting for someone good to come to town. Sting is coming, but he's not my thing. I saw him once when he was with the Police. I haven't really liked any of his solo stuff, so I'm okay missing that concert. Anyway...for my Friday blog post, I thought I'd leave you with some of the U2 footage at Red Rocks. Enjoy!

For my birthday, Sarah is taking me to the Hollywood Bowl to see Paul McCartney on March 31st. Acoustically thinking, the Hollywood Bowl is the Red Rocks of So Cal....but maybe not as beautiful.
