so i'm a native of the mile high.  they shut it down for live (rock) music in the 70's after jethro tull caused a riot there, i believe.  i graduated high school in '74 and that was kinda the golden years for going up to red rocks after the sun went down for drinkin and carousing up and down the ampitheatre and rocks on either side.  i know a few people fell off the top of shiprock that year (left side, facing the stage) and got killt.  there's a cave about half-way up on that side.  great place for partying.  and slipping on the bird/bat poo and falling to your death.  i saw buck owens and the buckaroos from that cave one night..  playing to a 1/4 crowd.  back in those days, you could tote an acoustic guit@r on the stage, sit in the middle and be heard all the way to the top row of seats.  awesome natural acoustics!

I was aware you were in Denver, but didn't know you were from there! My earliest memory of Red Rocks is watching the video of U2 playing there (probably saw it around 1985 when I was in high school). I should have paid more attention in the museum! Jethro Tull is not the first band I would think of for a riot to happen, I did read a story about it.

Maybe I'll see a show there someday!

well as long as it's pummel the expired equine day and i'm trawling the bottom of the barrel of my alembic watch list, looks like it's been reduced by aboot $6k USD.  still way overpriced (imho.  ymmv.)  triple-O notwithstandng.  another $6k USD oughta bring 'er down to reality provided yer into this sorta thing.  again, imho.  ymmv.  good luck to all!

"The waiting is the hardest part..."

Yeah, I stalked this beauty since it appeared online around 2016 in pretty rough shape. The buyer sent it back to Alembic where it got a complete overhaul. Then it ended up in BeenDown's hands. He didn't bond with the medium scale, and I was able to purchase it in 2022. TOTALLY worth it!

got a little bored over breakfast.  went thru my ended listings.  the last spyder i've seen listed on rereververbb was over 3 years ago.    there's been a few exploiters here and then.  coupla dragonwings.  the good news is that they're not as rare as the fabled 5-string long scale unlined series fretless with LEDs of which i can't recall the last time i saw one up for sale.  my advice:  put a big lump o'cash where you can access it immediately.  search the world over.  maybe you'll find true love.  be ready to wait a lonnnng time and then pull the trigger at a moment's notice.  good luck to all!

obtw a dragonwing hangs on a strap and plays like a spyder just in case you were curious.
