Return of the Dreads

I recently attended the "Return of the Dreads" concert with Korn and Rob Zombie (with In This Moment opening) at Fiddlers Green Amphitheatre.  Overall, it was an incredible show.  Unfortunately, due to crummy weather for awhile, In This Moment had to cancel their part.  I am completely and totally bummed.  I payed for a ticket for all three bands and I was really looking forward to hearing them play.  Instead, due to noise ordinances and lightning rules, we were forced to evacuate the amphitheatre (which was really crappy considering we had used the light rail to get in so we couldn't "return to our cars").  I'm hoping that In This Moment will rebook and allow those of us that actually payed to hear them play get into the next show free or at a discounted rate.

Now with the good stuff.....

Korn put on an incredible show.  I've been a fan since their start and they didn't disappoint at all.  They did a great combination of old favorites and new stuff. They rocked the place even harder than I expected and I couldn't hide how impressed I was with the whole thing.

Rob Zombie matched pound for pound.  His stage was bonkers and man that boy can dance! He rocked the oldies but goodies and the new stuff.  He showed off his mad guitar skills and even walked out through the crowd.

Hands down favorite moment: When Rob Zombie told everyone to "put down their f***ing phones"!  Preach!  I literally did not take a single picture while the show was going on...why?  Because I'd rather watch the show in person than through a phone screen.  You literally looked around and it was a sea of cell phones.  Enjoy the experience, people!

I firmly recommend this show to anyone that has a chance to attend!

Note to Denver RTD:  Perhaps when events are going on, you should consider looking into more frequent light rails going back through.  Seriously.
