Greensky Bluegrass played a two-night run at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre this weekend, wrapping up the stint on Sunday evening with a show that featured multiple guest appearances from members of opening act Turkuaz, plus special guest guitarist Tom Hamilton of Joe Russo’s Almost Dead.

On Saturday night, Greensky opened up their weekend in Morrison, CO, with the first of four sets over two days, debuting new tune “What You Need” and bringing up surprise guest Joel Cummins for two songs. The Umphrey’s McGee keyboardist helped out the host band on their own “Jaywalking” and a cover of Bob Marley’s “Could You Be Loved.” Saturday’s second set saw the band debut their take on classic R&B tune “Night Time is the Right Time” while welcoming members of that night’s opening act The California Honeydrops.

Greensky returned to the Red Rocks stage last night and welcomed the Turkuaz horn trio of Chris Brouwers, Greg Sanderson and Josh Schwartz during the first set for some Greensky staples, including “Miss September” and “Bring Out Your Dead.” Set two saw another surprise guest appearance, when Tom Hamilton came out for “All Four.” All the Turkuaz members later joined Greensky for a cover of Elton John’s “Rocket Man.”

See the full setlists from the weekend below, along with some video from Sunday’s collaborations. Greensky Bluegrass continue their fall dates this week with a few Midwest shows, starting in Omaha, NE, on September 26.
