Anyone who has attended a King Gizzard show at Red Rocks – let alone all six previous shows going into this run – knows to some degree how much they seemingly love and cherish their ability to play at this historic venue. Maybe it's the influx of fans traveling, maybe it's an unspoken competition with the pantheon of legendary concerts in the amphitheater’s past – regardless, Red Rocks shows from Gizz are quickly gaining a reputation for all-time performances of staples, notable deep cuts and bust-outs, and multi-concert runs that test the stamina and endurance of the band and fans alike. In 2024, King Gizzard staged a run that looked similar to last year’s summer residency on the rocks. The model of two night shows with a special day set before the second was received exceedingly well so this didn’t serve as too much of a surprise; what was left dubious was how the band would approach the setlists. After boasting that their “no repeat” rule from previous cities was still in effect for the band’s Chicago marathon show, they upped the ante again by attempting to not repeat a single song from last year’s Red Rocks shows. While both “Gila Monster” and “Motor Spirit” were technically on both 2023 and 2024 Red Rocks setlists, “Gila” saw Jay Weinberg sit in this year while “Motor Spirit” was only a partial performance last year. So with about 15 minutes at most excepted, every song was fresh, with many Red Rocks firsts among some cuts they played there in 2022.
