The Grateful Dead's Colorado Connection, Blog

With the Grateful Dead’s first-ever performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 1978, the band and Red Rocks Amphitheatre started becoming synonymous. The Dead considered the outdoor venue “a sacred place,” likening it to Stonehenge and the pyramids of Egypt. The band was scheduled to play four days in 1978, but in two shifts (July 7 and 8 plus August 30 and 31). The Dead used Red Rocks as an instrument of sorts to take Deadheads to places they’d never been.
