  • Harvey's third Sunday-only Red Rocks experience, getting emotional during "Wonderin" and "Last Straw"
  • Detailed breakdown of Red Rocks setlist featuring Chuck Leavell's guest appearance and the debut of "Comfortably Numb"
  • The band's 75th show milestone at Red Rocks and Ted Rockwell's effusive praise for the Jessica from night two
