It really is amazing, and yeah, I think part of that is being there in the middle of it, the sort of sweep and scale of it and being able to look up and see the stars or look out over the stage and see the city glittering in the dark... the fresh outdoor air, the breeze, the rain sometimes! It's something you have to be there for to really appreciate, and it's worth making a trip for, if someone you really like is playing there.
I've seen REM twice there - In Time tour and Accelerate tour. (I saw the Around the Sun tour too but that was a small theaters tour.) Also saw Daft Punk a few years ago, and Infected Mushroom last summer. No matter what kind of music it is, its a great venue, but I knew that orchestral Peter Gabriel at red rocks would basically be a once in a lifetime thing XD
