Editorial Review for Fillmore Auditorium – by Dave Flomberg
In Short
This music venue plays host to shows too big for the Ogden, but too small for an arena. SFX Entertainment changed all that in 1999, taking the decrepit Mammoth Events Center and transforming it seemingly overnight into one of Denver's finest venues. Since then, the succession of bands who have played here include A Perfect Circle, UB40, Brian Setzer, Duran Duran, System of a Down and Lynryd Skynyrd, to name a few.

Insider Tips
ParkingThere's usually plenty of patrolled parking just across Colfax.
Save MoneyHead across Clarkson for some drinks before and after the show--they're much more reasonably priced than at the venue.

The Fillmore is the best indoor venue in Denver. The sound is great and you cant get a bad view of the stage from anywhere. I agree with the other review that says not enough good acts come to the Filmore. Its always some obscure band, that attracts even more obscure people. Since "Live Nation" took over they have removed most of the table and chairs....WTF???? The seating was one of the nicer features of the Fillmore, and the new owners screwed that up bigtime! Personally, I have seen Govt Mule,(twice) .38 Special, The Doobie Bros. Merle Haggard, POD, and a few others I cant remember at the moment, and every show was excellent. The recent Govt Mule show (4-27-07) had to be one of the best shows of the years so far! Warren Haynes was on fire! Anyway, even without most of the tables and chairs, the Fllmore rocks, and is the best venue in town.
Pros: Great sound, great site-lines, great ambience. Love the chandeliers!
Cons: Not enough tables and chairs!

This is a perfect-sized place to see concerts. It's general admission and pretty much impossible to get a table and chairs, so plan on standing the entire time, which generally isn't a problem if you're enjoying the show. The setup works pretty well with good views of the stage regardless of where you are in the auditorium. Drinks are very expensive--I'd recommend drinking at a nearby bar before the concert and then just watching the show once you're at the auditorium. The bathroom lines are very long too--all the more reason to not drink a lot at the auditorium.
Pros: Perfect-sized place for concerts
Cons: Very expensive drinks
