Well, this is officially the last week of October. Looking back on the month, the first snowfall caused a highly anticipated show to change venues, The Red Hot Chili Peppers made their return to Denver and now we get to wrap it all up with one final week of Denver concerts this month including the final Red Rocks show of the season (with the exception of New Years Eve). Join us, as we bid farewell to October with another great week of live music.
