Live at Red Rocks captures Colorado's Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats in 2016 in front of a hometown crowd, on the one year anniversary of the release of their self-titled gold-certified studio effort on Stax. Given their constant touring over most of two years, there is a distinct dearth of new material to draw on, so this effort is an attempt by the band and label to keep fresh meat on the shelves while awaiting a proper studio follow-up. For fans, none of this will likely matter. The band was hopped up and raring to go. Despite the fact that Red Rocks holds nearly 10,000 people, the Night Sweats deliver as if they were on a sweaty small club stage trying to prove themselves. The sound is clean enough to capture every strutting moment, but raw and immediate enough to keep the party atmosphere fluid.
