My first concert at Red Rocks was for this band I knew little about, but I agreed to go with a group from Pueblo to see - U2. What a night!

[@regis387]

wow - what a first concert!

[@martintroy371]

My hometown boys!!! I've seen them about 30 odd times but I'd trade them all for Red Rocks!

I was one of Berry Fay's I worked on making sure each and every event to go smoothly and hostess to the artist ,band members and whoever is happy with us and want to come back to Red Rocks. I remember I had to bring one of my children because because The Osbournes brought their son was getting bored and getting into trouble I ask Barry if I could bring one my son's up here so you have a playmate and some toys that was the best day ever I got to know Sharon and Ozzy. And they think that they can be very much for what I did for their son. And their lunch and dinner

They broke the mold after Barry. One of the greatest promoters of all time.

[@billhokenson1542]

Just thinking of you! Thank you!

[@RockStackingLeague]

I enjoy rocks, personally

[@DaniGirl]

But people did know. He told us. I blame the hospital for not listening and releasing him even after concern was expressed. Seniors getting hip surgery are at high risk for suicide and depression. They should have done more. The sad reality is that most of the people he helped turned their back when he had nothing to offer them. People who owed him a lot. I remember people not even giving him tickets when he asked. He was most sad about that.

Oh upon meeting Barry on several occasions. I would tease and say I made you rich because I bought the ticket for that show. Yes and he was sometimes think he was rude. What the f*** you got the wrong guy it's not me. Sorry but that's what he would say. I remember meeting Steve Miller with him hanging around. Thanks guys for just being part of the crowd.

[@maggykuhn3387]

One of the best people promoters I have ever met. Barry even on his book signing after writing backstage passes. Was true to talking to fans. I still agree with what he said after he was written his book. There is no talent left on this planet. It's not Taylor Swift the Kardashians have no talent. And has for singers nothing like Bette midler. Sorry for the misspell but there is no talent left on this planet. Love John Denver and was one of the best people I've met in the music industry. Rest in peace Barry!!

[@tylermoulton7294]

[@dawnreneegmail]

Amazing sound quality. Now that I live in California, interesting to learn the Hollywood bowl is bigger.

[@joswayyyTTU]

Thank you for bringing attention to another man who could have changed the world, but pi$$ed it all away instead. Lived to squeeze profits and berate, only to lose it all. I’m sure others could have achieved more with such opportunities.

[@Michaelhoang-h3u]
