No Interview – Produced Piece

Red Rocks may be one of the most famous outdoor concert venues – in fact, in 2021, they were the most attended outdoor venue of any size in the world. Sitting just outside of Denver, it is a beautiful setting for live music, but it also comes with a unique set of challenges – the weather, the wildlife, the altitude. On the World Cafe, take a tour with some of Red Rock’s best stories – including what happened when guests like The Beatles, Neil Young, U2 and Zach Bryan played there – in the final edition of the Sense of Place: Colorado series.

Listen to the session here.
