    Denver, Colorado: “If the universe had a favorite venue...”

    From the million year old rocks to intimate theaters, the mile high sound echoes and echoes. Maybe it’s the mountains, maybe it’s the air but one can’t deny that there is a certain expanse in these jams and spaces unlike any in America. At this altitude the sound does strange things, man.
