On Saturday night, The Disco Biscuits returned to Red Rocks Amphitheatre last night, marking the 9th installation of the group’s Red Rocks takeover dubbed Bisco Inferno. 2017’s Bisco Inferno was one for the books, with the Biscuits throwing down a fiery performance to close out their four-night Colorado run (led in with a three-night stand at the Ogden Theatre in Denver proper). To start their performance, the Disco Biscuits opened with the start of Queen’s classic number “Bohemian Rhapsody,” led in by a lyrical piano section by Aron Magner. However, the cover quickly tapered off, with the full band joining in and  faking out the start of “Spaga” before moving straight into “Rock Candy.” Those caught off-guard by “Spaga” fakeout were not left disappointed, as the group closing out their accelerated first set, which was continually propelled by Allen AuCoin’s drums, by returning to the number, after jamming through “Rock Candy,” an inverted “Crickets,” “The Champions” (a relatively new song debuted at City Bisco in New York City at the end of the summer last year), and an inverted “Mulberry’s Dream.”

For their non-stop second set, The Disco Biscuits opened with “Save The Robots,” which featured Jon “Barber” Gutwillig teasing Soundgarden’s “Fell On Black Days” as a tribute to the late Chris Cornell, whose passing has greatly affected both musicians and fans alike over the past few weeks. From there, the group covered another fallen musical hero, David Bowie, with the ever-popular “Let’s Dance.” Following “The Great Abyss,” the group built out the song into “I-Man,” with “Hot Air Balloon” falling squarely in the center of the “I-Man” sandwich that closed the second set with a massive and triumphant return to the perennial Biscuits’ tune. The group then closed their performance on a high-note, with a spacey rendition of the alternatingly happy-go-lucky and heavy number “Munchkin Invasion” closing out the show.
