UK’s Above & Beyond Entranced Red Rocks
October 29, 2024On a clear October evening, Above & Beyond brought their legendary trance-house sounds to Red Rocks last Friday, a venue that already has magic in every crevice. Veteran DJs Paavo Siljamäki and Tony McGuinness took the stage to deliver an unforgettable evening of Trance and a touch of House, blending both nostalgic and fresh beats that captivated a seasoned crowd of devoted fans.
With Siljamäki in the lead and McGuinness backing him up, the team were at the top of their game, effortlessly working the decks as they orchestrated a set that lived up to their name. The beats, rhythm, and energy soared, and the crowd loved every moment. A host of beautiful attendees – mothers and daughters, close friends, couples, and bassheads alike – swayed, danced, and united under the stars in pure musical euphoria.
One of the concert’s most cherished traditions, the “Push the Button” moment, was a highlight. True to form, Siljamäki and McGuinness scouted the audience for fans holding signs asking to “push the button.” Lucky fans were invited to the stage to participate, creating a lasting memory for all. Moments like these have given this tradition a life of its own, and Red Rocks was the perfect setting for a new level.
Adding to the personal touch, Siljamäki sent messages to the crowd on the video board, even sharing that they had collaborated with the lovely Justine Suissa, vocalist for OceanLab, on one of the night’s beautiful tracks. This heartfelt touch made the show feel even more intimate despite the grandeur of the venue.
In all, Above & Beyond’s show at Red Rocks was more than a concert – it was a celebration of music, connection, and tradition, making this October night one to remember.
