Saturday, April 19 – Hippie Sabotage

Alright, Tony Price back at our beloved Red Rocks for a Saturday night showdown with Hippie Sabotage! Now, these guys have a bit of a reputation for their energetic live shows and their blend of electronic and hip-hop influences, so I was ready to see what kind of vibe they'd bring to the table.

The weather was cooperating beautifully for a mid-April Saturday in Colorado. Clear skies, a comfortable coolness in the air – perfect for a night of music under the stars without getting too chilly or too sweaty.

Hippie Sabotage definitely lived up to their reputation for high energy. From the moment they hit the stage, the place was buzzing. Their music is this interesting mix of electronic beats, hip-hop samples, and a really raw, almost punk-rock energy in their delivery. It's the kind of music that just makes you want to move.

The duo, Kevin Saurer and Jeff Saurer, had a real dynamic on stage. They were constantly moving, interacting with the crowd, and feeding off the energy of the amphitheatre. It felt less like a traditional concert and more like a giant party with thousands of your closest friends.

The crowd was absolutely electric. There was a lot of jumping, a lot of singing along (even if some of the lyrics were a bit… well, let's just say enthusiastic!), and a real sense of letting loose and having a good time. It was one of those shows where the energy from the stage just bounced right back from the audience.

Their light show was also pretty intense, with a lot of strobes and flashing lights that matched the chaotic energy of their music. It definitely added to the overall sensory experience.

Now, if I have to put on my "Tony's Balanced Perspective" hat… well, at times the sheer intensity and the somewhat… unpolished nature of the performance might not be for everyone. It wasn't the most technically refined show I've seen, and some of the lyrical content might raise an eyebrow or two for us more seasoned folks.

However, there was an undeniable raw energy and a genuine connection with their fanbase. The crowd was absolutely devoted and knew every word. There was a real sense of authenticity to their performance, even if it wasn't always the most polished.

Overall, Hippie Sabotage at Red Rocks was a high-energy, somewhat chaotic, but ultimately engaging experience. They brought a raw and enthusiastic vibe that clearly resonated with their fans. It was a reminder that sometimes music is less about perfection and more about pure, unadulterated energy and connection. Tony Price, signing off – feeling a little more… energized tonight!
