“We’re
all trying to hold it together here,” Bentley told the crowd. “This is
my fifth time playing Red Rocks, but it gets more crazy and crazy every
time. It’s not every night you get to play here, so I texted a friend to
see if she could be part of tonight. She’s got one of the best voices
in Country music and came all the way from Boston to be here
tonight…Maren Morris y’all!”

Mid-way
through the epic night, Bentley invited surprise guest Maren Morris to
the stage for their haunting duet “I’ll Be The Moon” off his
critically-acclaimed No. one album BLACK. The two harmonized on Morris’
“My Church” before Randy Houser joined to swap vices on “Bad Angel.” As
the night rolled through Bentley’s jam-packed set and the capacity crowd
sang back to hit after hit, fans ultimately demanded an extended set
causing Bentley to break curfew.
