REVIEW: AEROSMITH & SLASH - 8/19/2014
Gweedo

The Pepsi Center hosted Aerosmith and Slash on August 19th. There were concerns that this concert might get cancelled with the recent health problems of Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer. Thankfully the show went as scheduled. Both bands had a good selection of shirts. I was a little disappointed that Slash’s CD doesn’t come out till September because I would have loved to buy it. The Pepsi Center was a little sparse to begin with.

REVIEW: MOTLEY CRUE & ALICE COOPER THE FINAL TOUR - 8/2/2014
Gweedo

I’ve been dreading yet looking forward to this day, The Final Tour. If you live in a cave, get out! Motley Crue announced, after 33 years, they are calling it quits and with that came their final tour. August 2nd was the day this last performance came to Denver at the Pepsi Center. Motley Crue made their final trek with Alice Cooper and The Raskins. Unfortunately, the Pepsi Center was slow in setting up the seating which caused about an hour delay getting in. This delay made the organizers have to cut The Raskins. I bet they were probably pretty decent to be invited on this tour. The other unfortunate thing was that there were no cameras allow at this concert. That made it so all the photos coming out were from camera phones. So, forgive me for the poor picture quality. I’m certain this is because a DVD of this tour will be coming out for the people that couldn’t make it and for the ones that want to relive it (me). Once the doors opened, it was surprising how quickly the masses were processed and sent inside. Both entrances were loaded with fans in their 80’s garb. There were merch booths everywhere for Motley Crue and Alice Cooper. Outside had a small tent and a lady walking around with a small selection. Inside had at least three booths and the same lady walking around before the concert. There needed to be more women’s shirts, but I think that’s the case for every concert. They did have quite a few different shirts, posters, cups, flags, hats, etc. though.

REVIEW: RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS & BAND OF SKULLS 9/27/2012
Gweedo

Well, it finally happened. Red Hot Chili Peppers came to the Pepsi Center. This was a rescheduled show from back in March, so I’ve been sitting on this ticket all year. The crowd started out small for the opening band, Band of Skulls. By the time RHCP hit the stage, the seats had filled in. It was a great concert. Band of Skulls was good, and RHCP killed it.
