Greensky Bluegrass — Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, 2016

Full concert filmed on 23 July 2016 at the legendary natural amphitheatre of Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado, one of North America’s most spectacular venues. The quintet Greensky Bluegrass unfolds its electrified bluegrass here, at the crossroads of jam band and acoustic tradition: mandolin, banjo, dobro, guitar and upright bass weave long improvisations while keeping the backbone of song and harmony. This live concert, split into two sets followed by an encore, offers a complete panorama of the band’s repertoire, from original compositions to inspired reworkings, with guests enriching several numbers. Under the Colorado sky, the group shows why it became a sure value of the American jam scene of the 2010s: uninhibited virtuosity, a feel for collective dynamics and genuine communion with the Red Rocks crowd. A live performance ideal for discovering a modern, adventurous and deeply alive bluegrass. Filmed across two full sets, it also captures the special communion between a jam band and the Red Rocks faithful, one of the most devoted audiences in American live music.
