Anticipation has been high for Lotus to return to Colorado since their memorable Fourth of July show at Red Rocks. The band came back with a bang, bringing a stellar performance to one of downtown Denver’s largest indoor venues, The Fillmore. With a big crowd came a lot of energy that the five part ensemble fed off of all night, mixing old favorites like “Spaghetti,” “Nematode,” and “Spiritualize” with new tracks like “Massif” and a rockin’ cover of Deadmau5′s “Ghosts N’Stuff.”
The band was kind enough to hook us up with some video passes so stay tuned for the sweet video coverage to come. In the meantime, here are some photos for a glance at the show. All photos by Grayson Simon and Patrick Hagan.
