As Lord Huron rocked Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a massive thunderstorm rocked northeastern Denver with golfball sized hail. May 30, 2024.

This last Thursday I took Claudia to see her first concert at the famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver; we saw the second night of two sold-out shows of Lord Huron. If you're not familiar with Red Rocks, it's a spectacular concert venue built between two gigantic sandstone formations jutting out of a mountainside with a view overlooking Denver. The band was really great but the weather also put on an incredible show with a massive thunderstorm flashing nearly constant lightning out in the distance throughout the entire evening! Such an overwhelmingly impressive evening. The next morning we saw on the news that while we were enjoying the show at Red Rocks, that thunderstorm was hammering northeastern Denver with golfball-sized hail!

(Here's a good video I found on Instagram that shows the crazy lightning show from Red Rocks that night).
