Twenty years and 10 studio albums into his career, Dierks Bentley is just hitting his stride on tour. Bentley has four dates left in his 32-city Gravel & Gold Tour that launched in June.

Bentley, who will headline two nights at Colorado's famed Red Rocks Amphitheater near Denver Sept. 5-6, said he thinks this tour is his best yet.

 Bentley's set will be available to stream live to fans worldwide on Veeps.com and the Veeps app on Roku, Apple TV, iOS, and Android starting at 10 p.m. CT.  

"The feeling I've always chased is just wanting that feeling of camaraderie on the road with the band and the crew," Bentley said. He was back in Nashville for a few days between shows and called CMT from the car as he and his wife, Cassidy, were on the way to Home Depot to pick out a new washer and dryer. "It's almost like this, 'Wow, I can kind of just look back for a moment and just go, "This has been amazing."' I'm always focused on the next thing, and it's just been a really special year for us out there."

Bentley shared a highlights reel from the tour with CMT that he believes showcases some of the magic he and opening acts Jordan Davis,  Elle King, Tracy Lawrence, Tyler Braden, Caylee Hammack, Hot Country Knights, Kameron Marlowe, The Cadillac Three, The Red Clay Strays, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Shane Smith & the Saints, Caitlyn Smith and Hailey Whitters made on the road this summer.

Davis left the tour this week to start his own headlining tour, and Bentley posted an emotional message to the "Buy Dirt" singer on his social media accounts.

"The love was real y'all! Between me and @jordandavisofficial and my band and his," Bentley wrote with a collection of photos showing he and Davis having fun on the road. "The second he walked on stage at our first show in Toronto, the whole energy of the tour shifted. He packs so much positivity and energy in his show he couldn't hide his love of performing if he wanted to. I'll miss the pickleball, torturing him with sub-30-degree cold plunges, parking lot workouts, whiskey sippin and old school country, and the energy he brought to What Was I Thinkin' every night.

Bentley added: "Dude loves Jesus, his family, friends and fans. Simple formula that makes him someone you just want to be around."

Davis commented: "Love ya brother…Thank you 🙏"

But Bentley still has plenty of people to have fun with on stage. Charlie Worsham joined his band for this tour, and the men lean into their years-long friendship and easygoing attitudes to keep the crowd engaged.

During "Up On The Ridge," Bentley tells Worsham his microphone is too close and then picks Worsham's microphone up in the middle of the song and moves it back about one foot. Worsham then shoots Bentley a confused look. Then, when the fiddle player stakes a solo, Bentley steps in front of him and receives another dirty look.

"It's so damn funny," Bentley said. "It's almost like there's two shows going on. There's one for the 15,000 people, and then there's also a separate show happening just for a few hundred people up front that can really see what's happening."

The singer views it as if he's simultaneously playing in a large and tiny room.

"If you're upfront, you're seeing a lot more than you're seeing anywhere else, just these little subtle looks going back and forth," he said.

For those who didn't score seats in the front of the amphitheater, Bentley spared no expense on production for this tour, ensuring they receive the best show possible, too.

"It flows so good," he said. "I'm always trying to create a rollercoaster that I get to ride on, not just the fans. The second I walk on stage, I don't want to have to work anymore. I want to have fun. And that's why I spend months rehearsing this show over and over and over and over and over and over. I don't have to rehearse anymore. I step on the escalator, and it's going to take me exactly where I want to go -- the fans. And this one, I think, does it better than ever."

Bentley even incorporated a trick he saw in a Nine Inch Nails tour video – singing behind a screen. He said no one in country music has done it before, and it made him nervous to try it. He incorporated it into his performance of "Black," and it's "so cool" and an "interactive experience."

"I am looking at the crowd through the slits in the video wall, but I can see all the phones out, and it's kind of the highlight of the show, which is so bizarre," he said. "The screen lifts up a little bit for us to walk out there and do 'Up On the Ridge' and some bluegrass stuff. It creates a secondary stage without having to leave the big stage. It's been a really great moment."

Bentley also incorporates the crazy characters he has created over the years into his set. Captain Holden Johnson still appears in "Drunk On A Plane." And, thanks to a video transition ala "Back To The Future," Bentley's '90s country cover band Hot Country Knights appear in the encore.

"It's ridiculous," Bentley laughed. "I wish I had an interview camera set for people on the way out and just be like, 'What did you think of that show into "Drunk on a Plane"?' It's a big moment. We could easily walk off right there. It's a great show. It's great encore. And then this whole other thing happens after that on this tour."

Bentley isn't trying to sell anyone on his Gravel & Gold Tour. He's just grateful for the experience and for what his band and crew have accomplished on the road this year.

"I just have so much gratitude for the guys and girls I got to spend my time with out on the road," he said. "And for all the fans to still come out. I always walk out on stage and never take  anything for granted."
