This is an e-mail that I have just sent to everyone listed on the 2nd page of this thread. I am so unhappy right now.

An Open Letter to the management, organizers, and promoters of the Red Rocks / Underworld event.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to you to voice my extreme displeasure about the recent venue change for the upcoming Underworld show. I boarded a plane today at 4:51PM on the very Southern border, at the tip of Texas, to fly to Denver to have one very special and memorable night: seeing Underworld perform at Red Rocks.

I have never been to the Red Rocks amphitheater, I have only heard the stories and the “oh my God’s” when referring to the memories that are made there. I have never seen Underworld live. I have been following the group for such a long time, that I can’t even remember. As a DJ and event producer for the past 11 years, I understand whole heartedly about venue change. However, to move this show to another location takes away a great deal of the “Experience” that goes along with the entire event; at least for me.

When I first heard about this show, I looked at the tour dates and had only two options in my mind. I had never been to Red Rocks, and I have never been to Central Park. Both places were being saved for an extremely special occasion. This was, and is, that occasion. The event at its scheduled setting, was to be such a spectacular combination of music and venue, that it captured the hearts of so many music lovers from my home state. I personally was eager to share this experience with a dear friend, who’s flight arrives at my expense, tomorrow morning. There is a caravan of friends on their way here from Austin this weekend as well. Now, it seems, that this special occasion will be transformed into nothing more than a normal event, inside some over crowded venue, with a lack of atmosphere that I was eagerly awaiting.

I cannot gather the words to express my discontent. I hope that whatever reason this decision was made, that it is an extremely good one, and not just financial.
This has, without a doubt, cast a shadow on what was to be, and hopefully still might be, a defining moment in my love and passion of electronic music.
