Here is another review found on Jambase.com about the NMS set at The Mile High Music Festival in Denver:

As we staked our spot right in front of the stage about five minutes before The New Mastersounds were scheduled to go on, we saw four very familiar looking faces sprinting across the field outside the tent with guitar cases in tow. It seems an accident on I-70 and horrendous traffic outside the festival had thrown a monkey wrench into the band's day. As they quickly tuned, drummer Simon Allen entertained the crowd with a brief story about the day they'd had and ended by saying something along the lines of, "We were stuck in all that traffic out there and Eddie was on his cell phone when all of a sudden there were sirens, the traffic parted, and we were surrounded by police cars who escorted us right onto the grounds. I guess your country takes funk VERY seriously." With that the band launched into an absolutely smoking set that even featured a few numbers where guitarist Eddie Roberts sang lead vocals. Though the lyrics weren't too complex, it added a new element to the show when Roberts took the mic and got the crowd to join in on the chorus. Despite the hot, still air under the tent, the band had fans of all shapes, sizes, colors and ages dancing throughout the set. They surely won over some new people and showered love on Colorado as they waved goodbye.
