The Dead South — Red Rocks Amphitheatre, 2019

Filmed live concert of The Dead South at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, on 24 July 2019. A Canadian quartet from Regina, Saskatchewan, The Dead South built worldwide success on a dark, theatrical bluegrass, recognisable by its hats, braces and acoustic instrumentation — guitar, mandolin, banjo and cello. Propelled by the viral hit “In Hell I’ll Be in Good Company”, the band distils an energetic, mischievous folk poised between rustic ballads and rousing choruses. In the spectacular setting of Red Rocks, a natural red-sandstone amphitheatre, the group delivers a nervy set in which vocal harmonies and plucked strings create an atmosphere at once festive and twilit. This capture conveys the raw energy of an acoustic concert before a captivated crowd. An ideal live concert for lovers of folk, bluegrass and Americana, notable for its singular aesthetic, instrumental virtuosity and the unique atmosphere of one of the world’s finest amphitheatres.
