Greensky Bluegrass kicked off a three-night run at Red Rocks on Friday night. The bluegrass outfit would welcome fiddler Jake Simpson of opening act The Lil Smokies at the beginning of their second set and the entire band for the encore.
Greensky got things going with a cover of Pink Floydâs âIn The Fleshâ for the first time since Halloween 2018, followed by a âBring Out Your Deadâ sandwich with âBefore Bring Out Your Deadâ in the middle. âCold Feet,â âNew Rize Hill,â âCollateral Damageâ and âLiving Overâ would follow ahead of a continuous block of âBlood Sucking F(r)iends,â âBroke Mountain Breakdown,â âFunk Jam,â and The James Gangâs âWalk Away.â âBroke Mountain Breakdown Repriseâ would close out the first frame.
Greensky started the second set with âLike Reflectionsâ followed by âBurn Them.â The headliners would then welcome Simpson for âFixin To Ruin,â âMerely Avoidingâ and âWorried About the Weather.â âWings for Wheelsâ and âThe Radio Bluesâ came next ahead of âDo It Aloneâ into The Beatlesâ âWhy Donât We Do It In The Roadâ and the second set closer âCourage For The Road.â
Greensky would reemerge with the entire Lil Smokies in tow for a rendition of Peter Rowanâs âMidnight Moonlight,â which was last played by Greensky on New Yearâs Eve 2017.
