Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore @ Oriental Theatre, Denver CO, 2025-06-11

 



Well yesterday we had an old recording.  Today we have a nice fresh new one.

I've seen Dave Alvin before but never Jimmie Dale Gilmore so this was a not miss for me this year.
We got a nice long set with a bunch of their originals and some fun covers.  Really great show and I think this recording turned out pretty nice.  Enjoy.

Slim Cessnas Auto Club @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 1999-05-29

 

Here is an older one.  I had only been recording live audio at show for about a month or so at this point.  I was already a big SCAC fan and had seen them many times.  I tried to record them a the Lion's Lair a few weeks before and totally botched it.  This was my redemption.

In 1999 SCAC was going through a big change.  Long time member Frank Hauser Jr was no longer in the band and Munly had joined not long before this.  This is a transition show where they are still playing some of the old numbers from the 1st 2 CDs,.   Once they got rolling with Munly and the new songs started coming they never played these old songs very much anymore.

Wish I could remember were I stood and recorded this.  There is very little crowd chatter and I think it sounds pretty nice.  Enjoy.

Michael Dean Damron @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2012-04-21

 



Not long after hearing of Michael Dean Damron's passing I posted a I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In The House show.  My friend Karen Cuda asked me about this show that she played with MDD.  I sent her the picture and said I would check out the audio.  I finally got around to it and it's short but sweet.

Karen plays bass and after a bit my old pal Dan Utter got up and joined in on harmonica. Micah Schnabel gets up there at the end to help on The Weight cover.  Fun times we had.

Dopelord @ The Underworld, London England, 2025-05-18

 





Earlier this year my buddy Matteo asked if I would want to come to London in May for Desert Fest.
I hadn't seen my friend for a long time and I have always wanted to go to a Desert Fest.  Plus I had never been to London before so it was a win win.  

London is a cool city and I had a great time checking it out in between seeing 17 bands over 3 days.
The schedules overlap a bit and some venues you need to be there early yo get in sometimes.  I went mostly for bands that I had never seen or might never get a chance to see.  Caught some really cool stuff.  In order.  Wallowing, Sea Bastard, 10,000 Years, Arabrot, Elder, Scott Hepple & The Sun Band, Conan, Sons of Alpha Centari, Avon, Planet of Zeus, Green Milk From The Planet Orange, Bobbie Dazzle, Mr. Bison, Divide and Dissolve, Castle Rat, Dopelord, Electric Funeral

I made a bunch of recordings too. Figured Dopelord would be a good one to post first since they were one of my must see bands of the fest. Good times.

Truckfighters @ HQ, Denver CO, 2025-05-03

 





My first time seeing Truckfighters and I got a hell of a show.  Denver was the last date on their US tour so it felt like they pulled out all the stops.  Great setlist and I thought they sounded really good.  They had some equipment problems at the beginning of "Momentum" and the bass player and drummer slow jazz it up for a while until the guitar rejoins.  A special 12 minute version they call it.  Turning lemons into lemonade.  Total pros.   I would totally see Truckfighters again.  Enjoy.

Superchunk @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 1995-04-19

 

Here is another of MarcR 1995 DAT recordings.  This time Superchunk at the Ogden on April 19th 1995.  They were opening up for Belly at this show.  I guess this is part of the touring for Foolish still since "Here's Where The Strings Come In" didn't come out until September of 1995.

The band's stage banter is really sarcastic and negative at this show.  At one point they call the author of the Westword article that came out before this show an "Asshole".  They call Westword "Water World". Talk mild shit to the crowd.  I thought they might have just been having a bad day.  But then wen I went searching to see if I could find the article I first found this 1999 article.


That mentions that this was kinda of their shtick back then.  Made more sense.  Here is the 1995 article which I now don't think they were that upset about.  


Superchunk is still putting out new music and touring to this day.  Go see them if you get a chance for sure.  MarcR did a nice job on this and it was a fun set to process.  Enjoy.

Jill Sobule @ The Lion's Lair, Denver CO, 2009-07-28

 

I was saddened to hear the news of Jill Sobules tragic passing recently.  She was a Denver native and had shows scheduled for the state this weekend.  I recalled that I had seen her live just one time.  She opened up for John Doe and the Sadies at the Lion's Lair in back in 2009.  

I pulled it up yesterday to give it a listen.  The Lair is tiny so sometimes recordings of solo acoustic acts there get drowned out by the bar atmosphere.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that I must have put the mics somewhere really close to the stage and the crowd was so quite and respectful on this night.

A lot of great stories and banter during this and some great performances.  She brings her Mom up on stage to help her sing a cover of Nelly's "Hot in Herre".  It really sweet and funny.  The whole set is a delight.  I hope you enjoy it.
