Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a rock structure, a naturally formed, world famous outdoor venue just fifteen miles west of Denver.
There is a large, tilted, disc-shaped rock behind the stage, a huge vertical rock angled outwards from stage right, several large outcrops angled outwards from stage left and a seating area for up to 9,525 people in between.
Originally the place was known as the "Garden of the Angels" (1870s-1906), and then as "Garden of the Titans"(1906–1928).
Public, organizational and private performances have been held at Red Rocks for more than 100 years.
The earliest notable rock-and-roll performance at Red Rocks was by The Beatles on August 26, 1964, the only concert not sold out during their US-tour.
The beautiful and unique setting has led to the venue becoming a favorite for many performers. Jimi Hendrix played at Red Rocks on September 1, 1968, along with Vanilla Fudge and Soft Machine.
Red Rocks has been a popular venue for live recordings, particularly videos due to the visual uniqueness of the setting.
U2's 1983 concert video, Live at Red Rocks: Under a Blood Red Sky, became a best-selling long-form concert video and the performance of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" was played frequently on MTV.
In June 2015, the Colorado Music Hall of Fame opened its doors in the Trading Post at Red Rocks.
