SPIN

August 16, 2010 – Radio-friendly rock was the order of the day at the Mile High Music Festival in Denver August 14-15, drawing shirtless bros with tribal tattoos for miles around to party, drink beer out of plastic cups, and smoke copious amounts of, presumably, medicinal marijuana (Colorado has had a boom in recent years, and artists made numerous allusions to that fact). The lineup was pop-heavy and easy on the ears, but it didn't fail to offer up some pleasant surprises, along with a few truly epic moments: BEST PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING: WEEZERWeezer played Mile High like it was headlining the gig-and really, it should have been. Opening with the fittingly titled "Epic Intro," the band segued without a pause into "Hash Pipe" and then into "Troublemaker" from 2008's eponymous LP.
