Reverend Deadeye @ The Continental Club, Denver CO, 2008-06-27

 

Here is the 10 of 13 post on the way down to post 666.  The countdown continues.

The right good Reverend Deadeye from Denver plays a mix of gospel, garage, and blues.  He kicked around Denver for years and now mostly resides in Switzerland. I must have seen him first at either Benders or Lion's Lair with his "goddamn wife".  Mostly I saw him as a solo act but he was also in a band with Alex Herbert called Broken Spirits.  I lost track of the number of times I caught him live over the years.

While his live appearances are few and far between these days he is still active.  You can learn more and buy some of his music on his site    https://www.revdeadeye.com/

Around the time of this show in 2008 Deadeye appeared in a independent movie called "THE FOLK SINGER - A Tale of Men, Music & America".  Him, Possessed By Paul James, and Scott H Biram speak and play songs about why they do what they do.  Worth seeking out if your a fan of any of these guys.

This show was at the fun but short lived Continental Club in Denver at 5th and Santa Fe.  It opened not long after we moved to the neighborhood and we had some fun times there.  The Reverend Deadeye was packing up his van and hitting the road.  For good.  See ya later.  So this was billed as his "Farewell show".  He let me setup my mics right in front of him on the on the floor were he performed.  So it is about as direct as it gets.  Really happy with this capture.  This was in an active bar environment so there is some atmosphere on the recording I kind of like it.  It took me right back to this night.  Enjoy.

The Bronx @ Boulder Theatre, Boulder CO, 2003-06-21

 

Here is the 11 of 13 post on the way to post 666.  The countdown continues.

This time my 2nd time seeing The Bronx.  The 1st time was the night before in Denver.  Before big promotors were keen on proximity clauses bands would come to Colorado and do a 2 or 3 city run across the front range.  I loved it and would often catch all the dates.

This tour was with The Supersuckers and Throw Rag which was a hell of a kick ass line up.

I assume that this was the first time The Bronx had come to Colorado.  Matt complains about t he altitude which is a sure sign of a newbie to the state.  The Bronx are still at it and bigger than either of the bands they opened for on this tour these days.

Me and my buddy Tom were in good with the Throw Rag guys and probably got guest listed for this one.  They certainly helped us get our recording gear and mic stands in.  We even got a board feed on this night.  This Bronx recording is from the board and a cool fun listen.  But also illustrative of why a monitor feed can be not so great.  The mix is a bit all over the place before settling in for their first set.   I must have had a bad MD too because I had to cut the first 2 songs because a massive amount of  drop outs.

Planes Mistaken For Stars @ Oriental Theatre, Denver CO, 2007-08-13

 

Here is the 12 of 13 post on the way to post 666.  The countdown continues.

This time a ferocious  Planes Mistaken For Stars set at the Oriental Theatre in Denver at the end of the summer of 2007.   I posted a June of 2007 PMFS show back in 2021.  This is the only other time that I recorded them.  I did see them a few more times after this.  

It all has come to a rather sad end with PMFS but I can't think of another band with a stronger posthumously released album than "Do You Still Love Me?"  If you are a fan and haven't heard that yet.  Drop what you're doing and go listen.

This was a free show on a Monday night.  I walked right in with a mic stand and flew them high for this set.  We got cool opening sets from California band Mystery Hang Up and locals 29th Street Disciples. Enjoy.

Thrones @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2008-05-31

 

I started this blog in September of 2009 as a outlet for all of my recordings.  Live recordings are certainly not everyone's thing so I don't get a lot of visitors, comments, or downloads even.  But over the years I have had plenty of people thank me for shows or doing what I do.  I appreciate that so much.  

Today starts the 13 post countdown to the 666th ThatsTheThingAboutThat post.  I have found some gems combing through the archive.  I look forward to sharing these with you in the coming months.

First up a 2008 recording of Joe Preston's project Thrones.  Joe had played with a ton of people over the years including Earth, Melvins, Men's Recovery Project, The Need, High on Fire, Harvey Milk, Sunn O))), and Sumac.  He came through Denver a few times in the aughts.

This was a fun show with locals Munimula and 19 AD opening up.  It starts off a little quiet and the crowd is a bit chatty but before long he turns it up and it sounds good I think.  Enjoy.

Messa @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2024-05-16

Messa is an Italian heavy band. Self described as "Scarlet Doom".  It has a more delicate sensibility than what most people would think of when they conjure some doom to mind.  Not dissimilar to BIG|BRAVE who I posted not to long ago. Really loud to really quiet.

I always try to go see smaller touring bands that have come from out of the country and made it to Denver.  It is a undertaking and I appreciate it greatly.  My friend Matteo who is currently living in Italy insisted before he left that I go see Messa when they came.  I was immediately a fan.  Right up my alley.  Side note.  Maybe the most nicely dressed doom band I have ever seen.  No dirty converse shoes but fine leather boots.    They have all their stuff on bandcamp.  Go give them and other independent artists your support.

Pretty respectful crowd during the quiet parts.  I greatly enjoyed revisiting this show from spring of 2024.  Enjoy

The Muffs @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 1995-04-25

 

Here is another of the 90s MarcR DATs,  This time a performance from The Muffs at the Ogden Theatre back on April 25th 1995.  I've never see a whole lot of Muffs recordings out there so I figured I would share this one.  They were part of a show with Fig Dish, and Veruca Salt.

The Muffs must have been up early on the bill.  The complain about all the +21 people being upstairs and the kids looking bored.  Kim has a lot of stage banter.    Guitar sound pretty good but the vocals are a bit buried.

The Nomads @ The Starlight, Ft Collins CO, 1999-05-22

 

I had only started recording shows about a month before this one.  The Nomads from Sweden were part of a killer bill.  The were on the road with The Quadrajets and The Hellacopters!!!  I've posted both of those sets before but I was give a listen to the Nomads set the other day and figured I needed to get it posted up too.  Even if it is only 5 songs from their set on this night.

In the days of recording to minidisc you only had so much room so you had to manage to watch the time and swap out for new blanks.  Maybe I didn't have enough media to record their whole set.  

Sounds pretty decent for an early taping outing I think.  Killer band too. After revisiting this I went back and listened to a bunch of their studio stuff.  The Nomads started in 1981 and continue on to this day.

Enjoy!
