Photo Fest: Phish Live from Red Rocks, Night One 7/30/09

Even though I had to rant a bit about the lack of relaxation by the band in regards to the folks that they willingly gave free tickets (sorta) and photo passes to — still retarded to me no matter how you slice it — the first night of the Phish run at Red Rocks was downright fantastic. I was fortunate enough to get about 500 shots during “Divided Sky” as the opener and here are some of my favorite out of what came out. I also threw in a few lot shots for good measure.
