At the historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, moe. fans were treated to a special sit-in by Phish’s Mike Gordon on Saturday night, for a bass-laden cover of “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.”
After jamming through the first set with “Timmy Tucker”> “Tubing The River Styx”> “The Pit”> “Dangerous Game” and pairing together “Jazz Cigarette” and “Water,” moe. closed the first half with the aforementioned Allman Brothers Band cover, going deep on the jam section as Gordon and Rob Derhak explored the groove side-by-side. (Gordon and his namesake band performed a set earlier in the day, as did White Denim, marking the first time Gordon’s solo project took the Red Rocks stage. Interestingly, the last time Gordon jammed “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” with moe. was in 2003 at Las Vegas’ House of Blues with Dickey Betts himself.)
Set two was equally jammy, book-ended by “The Road” and setlist standby “Rebubla.”
moe. encored their Red Rocks gig with a fun-filled “Turning Japanese.”

June 3, 2019 at 1:33 pmI loved the double bass extravaganza. Mike brings such a funky groove, Rob sounded like a bull frog, and it was super cool.
Red Rocks turned off the PA during the Turning Japanese encore, which is a fine song to get turned off on. Band kept playing for another 30-60 seconds to cheers and boos from the crowd before acknowledging the curfew and walking off stage. Great night, great show.
Love Gordo, Love Moe., but...
June 3, 2019 at 12:25 pmcan’t stand the bass sit in. It just doesn’t work. The nature of the instrument makes it super silly. It always reminds me of walking into a guitar store where a bunch of folks are noodling away.
