A word from Oroborous and Hendrixfreak, who are hoping for a bit of a gathering/reunion when the Terrapin Roadshow comes to town: Summers here and the time is right… …for dancing in the streets…er, a, I mean park. Confluence park that is on the Colorado river, surrounded by beautiful Red Rock mountains in downtown Glenwood Springs Colorado!
Some of us Dnet “allstars” lol are going to use the shows as a chance to meet up and perhaps take our online friendships furthur! Ever wonder how Hendrix freaks organic form compares to his digital one, well here’s your chance. Just one example of course, hopefully we’ll be able to compare many more! Glenwood Springs is a nice summer outdoor destination in itself, but there’s also lots of music in the mountains around that time.
Sorry I haven’t had time to compile a comprehensive list, but Jrad, Little Feat, String Cheese, Gov Mule are just a few. Little Feats Billy Paine is now officially on the TC schedule, and other special guests are promised! I’ll try to compile a better concert list and some of the many natural and outdoor activities, including the famous Glenwood Hot Springs/Caves and pool.
Good stay options available from camping to high end luxury. Aspen's about a half hour, Vail's an hour, if your looking for a luxury experience, and the amazing Glenwood Canyon flows right into town. Perhaps make it a part of a family vaca!
I’m not compensated for this sales pitch, just would love to meet as many of you good folks as we can, but it is a busy place in summer so make your plans/reservations etc asap if your joining us as the hours getting late… And whether you rise, fall, or climb to get to Terrapin, there’s ample means of conveyance with I70 through town, an Amtrak station nearby, airports at Eagle 1/2 hour, Aspen 45 minutes, Grand Junction 1.5 hours, and Denver less than 3 hours. So chever way, the compass always points to Terrapin ; )
hendrixfreak 3 months 3 weeks ago August in Glenwood Looks like I'll meet up with Oro in Glenwood for a couple shows in August. I'll roll in Saturday for the evening show, roll on after the Sunday afternoon show. Sure would be fun to join others from the forum. Personally, I don't go to tribute bands; making an exception here. Last GD-related shows probably the Phil Lesh Quintet runs, oh yeah and Phil & Friends with John Scofield, maybe Ratdog at Denver Fillmore. The Terrapin Roadshows will be three weeks shy of the 54th anniversary of my 1st GD show. So, what the hell? Let's get on with the show. HF
Here's a thread for planning and such
Wishing I was there
It looks like this is August 22 or 23? I'd love to go, and if only it was a little closer to the TTB Red Rocks dates (7/31, 8/1) I might've been able to figure out a way. As it is, I'll be back in Cali by that time.
