If you weren't at Red Rocks Amphitheatre last Friday you missed one of the best shows in recent memory. The line up included a smorgasbord of talent - Fox Stevenson, Ookay, Paper Diamond, Juicy J, and the incomparable Flux Pavilion. All at the one of a kind Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where the wubs are extra wubby bouncing off of the massive rock walls! It was an incredible night.
I knew Fox Stevenson was going to get the honor of opening the show, so I made a point to arrive as early as I could make it to Red Rocks. There was no way I was going to miss Fox Stevenson's performance. The rest of the people also had this realization to arrive early and for the opening set nearly half of the amphitheatre was already full. I didn't know what to expect for a Fox Stevenson performance, having never seen him perform before and with a lot of his music involving his own vocals. Would he sing live, and DJ? For what I saw of this performance he did not sing, but who knows? Maybe he will incorporate singing into his live performances in the future on stage, because he is absolutely amazing in the studio as a vocalist.
Ookay would tag in next on the decks runnin' the trap and keeping it purple as fuck. His set was fresh with some trap remixes and dope hip-hop bangers. By the time Ookay went on the place was packed, the show didn't officially sell out but it must have been very close. No one was slacking off out in the parking lots, it was all business, bumping music off the rocks business.
Above we see the famous Flux Pavilion smirk, by far my favorite photograph captured at the show. This was taken as Flux Pavilion came back on for an encore where he dropped his superb remix of the DJ Fresh song "Gold Dust." The crowd went insane and some who had headed for the exits came running back to dance to one last song. Like I said, the guy is a true showman, it's always a pleasure to observe his genius.
I will never miss a Flux Pavilion show, he is too good to not see perform live. I want to always be on top of the best new music, and Flux Pavilion has either created it, or he will incorporate it into his set, therefore it's vital to see him perform whenever he comes through town. Big ups to everyone who made this such a memorable night. Especially the artists - Fox Stevenson, Ookay, Paper Diamond, Juicy J, and Flux Pavilion. Red Rocks Amphitheatre is quickly becoming my favorite place for concerts. It very well may be one of the best places to be on the planet. If you have never been there, go peep it for yourself, concert season is almost over!
