Red Rock's Amphitheatre (as in DMB's Live At Red Rocks album) is an internationally renowned venue in the foothills west of Denver, Colorado. Performers and spectators alike have come from all over the globe to participate in events at this amphitheatre. Its unsurpassed beauty, and natural, near-perfect acoustics have drawn millions to this site. It's a magnificent natural treasure that should be preserved and protected.

On Feb 18, 1999, the City of Denver announced plans to renovate this historic landmark. The City's first proposal called for a number of "improvements" which they claimed would make the amphitheatre more "user-friendly." A few of their proposed changes would adversely affect not only the character of this historical landmark, but dramatically impact the park in which it is located.
