The Black Crowes performed on April 8, 2024 at the Fillmore Auditorium. The Happiness Bastards Tour continues in the United States and then heads to the UK on May 14.
Despite any bad press surrounding the dysfunctionality of the Robinson Brothers, the fact is these guys bring a magic to the stage that can’t be beat. The concert at The Fillmore was a perfect example. And so is the new album, from which they played several songs with the same energy and audience engagement as their classic hits.
Those classic hits include Twice as Hard, Jealous Again, Hard to Handle, and Remedy which were all part of the 16-song set.

The Show Runs From December 14-17, 2023 At The Bellco Theatre
By Mark Smiley
PAW Patrol Live! “The Great Pirate Adventure,” a Nickelodeon and VStar Entertainment Group production comes to Denver on December 14 at the Bellco Theatre.” This action-packed, music-filled production is based on the top-rated animated preschool series PAW Patrol, produced by Spin Master Entertainment and airing on Nickelodeon.
Guests will see Ryder and his team of pups embark on a pirate-themed adventure to uncover hidden treasures. This live touring stage performance is fun for the entire family. “We recommend ages two to six to enjoy the show,” said Jenna Barricklo, PAW Patrol Live! “The Great Pirate Adventure.” “However it’s a really good family experience and a good opportunity to introduce kids to the theater for the first time. It’s fun for all ages no matter what.”
In PAW Patrol Live! “The Great Pirate Adventure,” Mayor Goodway is getting everything shipshape for a big Pirate Day celebration in Adventure Bay. When Cap’n Turbot falls into a dark and mysterious cavern, it’s PAW Patrol to the rescue! Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Skye, Rocky and Zuma save Cap’n Turbot and discover a secret pirate treasure map that leads them on an epic adventure. Things get ruff when Mayor Humdinger wants to find the treasure first for Foggy Bottom. The pups need all paws on deck for this pirate adventure, including help from the newest pup who’s all ears…Tracker! Using their heroic rescue skills, problem solving and teamwork, the pups set sail to save the day. No job is too big, no pirate pup is too small!
“It’s a really interactive experience,” said Barricklo. “We encourage the kids to be up and out of their seats. It’s not a traditional theater seating where you are sitting quietly. There is a lot of opportunity for them to interact with the characters and help them solve clues and puzzles. We want them dancing and interacting with the show.”
PAW Patrol Live! “The Great Pirate Adventure is the perfect way for families to create lifelong memories and provides kids the opportunity to experience in-person theater. Since its debut in the Fall of 2016, PAW Patrol Live! has been seen by over 4.3 million people, providing fans in over 40 countries with an unforgettable Broadway-style production. The performance is an interactive live stage show, encouraging audiences to learn pirate catchphrases, dance the pirate boogie and help the pups follow the treasure map and solve picture puzzles throughout their mission.
You do not need to be familiar with the show according to Barricklo. “There are familiar characters the kids will know but it’s a brand-new plot,” said Barricklo. “We introduce all the characters so the audience does not need to be familiar with the show to enjoy the stage version.”
Tickets for all seven performances start at $45 and can be purchased at pawpatrollive.com or AXS.com and by phone at 888-9-AXS-TIX. Ticket prices are inclusive of a $4 facility fee. Prices are subject to change. Additional fees and special offers may apply.
V.I.P: A limited number of V.I.P. (Very Important Pup) packages are available, starting at $115. The VIP package includes a premium seat and exclusive photo opportunity with PAW Patrol characters after the show. Each adult & child (age 1 & up) in a group must have a VIP ticket.
The December 14 and 15 showtimes are 6 p.m. and Saturday, December 16 will have three shows, 10 a.m., 2 p.m., and 6 p.m. Sunday’s shows are at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. The Bellco Theatre is located at 1100 Stout St. in Denver.
