Joe Jackson @ Paramount Theatre, Denver CO, 1994-12-08


For today's post here is another of MarcR's mid 90s DAT captures.  I have been wanting to post this one for awhile. I was finally inspired buy the Anthrax show I just posted.  They had a minor hit with a cover of his song "Got The Time" and played at that 2000 Boulder show.  That was a song on Joe Jackson's first album from 1979.  For this tour in 1994 Joe keeps the fast tempo of that song but with more acoustic instrumentation.  Fun to compare those back to back.  

I'm  guessing Marc sat at the  front of the balcony for this as there isn't much chatter.  Good crowd and Joe talks a bunch through out the set.  And wow what a set at almost 2 hours.  Nice sound on this one I think.  Enjoy.

Anthrax @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 2000-01-31


 
In 1987 when Anthrax's album Among The Living came out I had already been a fan for a little bit.  I was 18 and trying to share my love for the album with my Mom.  Through the connection that we both were Steven King fans.  I didn't think she would love it but she heard it and made a face of dislike.  Then she said "That sounds like dangerous accident music, I hope you don't listen to that while you're driving"

At this Anthrax show from the Fox Theatre in Boulder Colorado in January of the year 2000.  Right before they play Metal Thrashing Mad, Scott Ian talks for a little bit, and he mentions that this song is about drinking and driving to fast.  So, as with a lot of things, Mom was right.  

Anthrax was on tour for a greatest hits collection called "Return Of The Killer As".  It featured a cover of The Temptations song "Ball of Confusion" that had vocals from current vocalist John Bush and former vocalist at the time Joey Belladona.  This was supposed to a tour with both of them trading off songs.  Somehow that didn't work out so it is just John Bush singing.

Fox always sounded good so this is pretty ok.  Vocals and clear and the drums are thundering.  Guitars get a little muddy but very listenable.  Enjoy.

Indian @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 2022-07-15

 




This is about the polar opposite of the last post.  Sludge doom group Indian from Chicago are quite a bit louder than Low.  They don't play out a whole lot but I've been lucky and have seen them twice. Once at a Psycho Vegas fest in 2018 and then on this killer bill in Denver with Primitive Man in 2022.  Ethan McCarthy from Primitive Man joins them for for this set adding noise and electronic flourishes.  It's just loud, ugly and brutal start to finish.  I love this kind of stuff.  Especially live.

Low @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 1995-09-26

 

Here is another of the MarcR DAT archive.  This time I present a really beautiful recording of the Minnesota band Low at the Ogden Theatre back on September 26th 1995.  They were on tour with Soul Coughing.  They were supporting their album 'Long Division' but played some older songs and some songs that end up on the next album 'The Curtain Hits The Cast'.

I have been listening to Alan Sparhawk's newest solo album and his collaboration with Trampled By Turtles a bunch recently.  Both are fantastic is different ways.  That reminded me MarcR had a Low recording.  After really listening to it I knew I had to share it. This show isn't listed on setlist fm or on the Low LMA page.  So here is an uncirculated 1995 Low show with one of the most respectful and quiet audiences I have ever not heard.  Alan even thanks them for being so quiet at one point. Enjoy!

Carcass @ HQ, Denver CO, 2025-09-26

 

For the final scary thatsthethingaboutthat post of October.  What is scarier that a dead body?  Human or animal remains prepared for consumption or left to rot.  BOO!!  Scary to most people's ears is the long running British band Carcass.  With albums like Reek of Putrefaction or the cover art of Symphonies of Sickness was enough to put most people off.  Carcass rise above the death metal pack not only with killer riffs but a sense a humor about the whole thing.  An cornerstone band in that musical universe.

I had seen Carcass a few times in the past but it was a special treat to see them at the smallish Denver venue HQ.  They had been playing much bigger rooms across the country on this tour but we got a more personal experience.  Hell of a show with Headonist, Necrot, and Brujeria as support.

I think HQ is a pretty good sounding room and I think they brought in some extra PA for this night.  Pretty happy with how this turned out.  Enjoy.

Satan’s Satyrs @ Summit Music Hall, Denver CO, 2015-04-10


For today's scare on thatsthethingaboutthat.  Satan!!  Defiantly scary. Satyrs  totally creepy man beasts. But both are fictional characters.  Not much to be scared about really.  I find people that literally believe satan is real and blame him for things real and imagined to be way more terrifying.  BOO!!!

Satan’s Satyrs was an American band from Virginia.  The formed in the late aught and disbanded in 2019.  The main satyr Clayton Burgess, who started the band after being influenced but Saint Vitus, Electric Wizard, and Witchfinder General, ended up playing bass for Electric Wizard from 2013 to 2018,  You can hear the fuzzed out 70s biker vibes in their songs big time.

At this show they opened up for Electric Wizard and had some equipment issues but other wise sounded pretty good.  Enjoy.
