Guide to Colorado Concerts and Performances in July, 2009

I've been to a few concerts and performances in my time. It was great fun to watch Phil Collins playing on stage. You get to watch your favorite singers, comedians, actors and bands live and in person. Is there any more of a rush than to see these idols in the same place at the same time you are watching them? To hear music blaring from the stage feels like you're one of those people in Woodstock, without boundaries or reservations. Just be careful if you're gonna be lighting up that pipe. That is why I think people in Colorado deserve to know what bands, singers, comedians or actors are coming to town, and where and when they're going to be performing.
