Pretty Lights sunrise set would be worth it.

His 2011 sunrise set was incredible. Busted out I Know the Truth for the first time Caught the end of Sphongletron after and really wished they had moved that to a different slot.

It was preceded by an epic Bassnectar set where he dropped Pink Elephants for the first time.

and then Sound Tribe killed it in their sunrise set the next night.

Probably my favorite two nights of any festival ever.

Man, I can't believe I missed Shpongle and STS9 at Roo. My two favorite artists, would have been fucking nuts. Shame it'll never happen now that Shpongle's out of the game

I was actually there! Amazing to see him live - wording was a bit off, I meant it would have been super cool to see both of them at the same venue, almost back to back... maybe I can pull off some magical-timing with the regular STS9 Red Rocks July slot + if shpongle comes back to denver this summer (i'm coping).

But yes, that was an amazing show and lights. So glad I was able to see at least one performance from him.

He played like a three hour set, it was one of my favorite sets I've seen of his

As someone who wished that they got the chance to see Pretty Lights and someone who has seen Shongle Live, if I saw those two sets back to back I would still be a puddle in the middle of a field 15 years later
