Slim Cessnas Auto Club @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 2003-12-30


The Slim Cessna New Years show have long been a Denver tradition.  By the time I noticed that there had not been an announcement for this year it was way passed time that there would be one.  I didn't make it every year but I saw a bunch over the years.  All good things come to an end.  So it goes.

It got me to wondering if I had any New Year SCAC shows that I had recorded but not shared.  Turns out I only have the one show from 2001.  I posted that a few years ago.  The closest I had was this day before NYE show from 2003.  I transferred all of my minidisc masters digitally back in 2003 and must not have listed to what this was back then or I might have shared it sooner.

I got a board feed on this night and it sounds pretty great but has some irregularities that a board feed can have.  This is the house mix so vocals are forefront and most of the instruments are a bit subdued.
Also the in-between song parts are really quite.  You can barely hear the crowd.  Good and bad.

I also might have shelved back in 2003 because at the end Slim plays the 1st part of "Last Song About Satan" with his capo on and the rest of the band can't play along.  It gets resolved and everyone has a laugh.  Before the last song Slim says how embarrassed he was and he hopes he never has to hear what that sounded like.  Honestly since the guitars are so low in the mix it doesn't sound to bad.  I figure since it was 22 years ago I'm safe to share it.  Cheers to the Auto Club and all the fun times.

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


I just saw that Belly is on tour for the 30th anniversary of their album King.  They rolled through Denver last week in fact.  I didn't see that show as I was at Cattle Decapitation that night.  But it reminded me that MarcR had recorded Belly 30 years ago.   So here it is.

I posted the Superchuck set from this night earlier this year.  Good setlist.  Enjoy.

Melvins @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 2003-05-10

 

Today we have a Melvins show from 2003 that I have never shared for some reason.  This was part of the Geek Show tour with Tomahawk and Skeleton Key.  I've posted both of those sets previously.
Melvins were touring behind the album Hostile Ambient Takeover still.  This was an epic night,

Enjoy.

16 Horsepower, Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 1996-03-22


In light of the recent news that 16 Horsepower are reuniting in 2026 to play some shows. I decided to share is spectacular 1996 FM broadcast of them playing at the Fox Theater in Boulder Colorado back in March of 1996.  This show was right between their releases Sackcloth N' Ashes and Lowe Estate.

16 Horsepower is announcing a bunch of European tour dates soon and so far the only scheduled show in the US is going to be at Fire In The Mountains Festival.  It takes place in East Glacier Montana this July.  This fest has been so expertly curated the last few years it feels like it is becoming the American version of the esteemed Roadburn Festival in Tilburg.  Check it out here.  https://www.fitmfest.com/

I got this from someone 25ish years ago in the CDR trading days.  I had forgotten about it until sorting through that collection not long ago.  This is a real gem.  Enjoy.

The Cavemen @ Piper's Opera House, Virginia City NV, 2018-04-15


Going a few year back with this one.  The Cavemen from New Zealand and play some unhinged drunken wild rock n roll.  I got to see them twice at Debauch-A-Reno Fest back in 2018.  This show was at the opera house up in Virginia City Nevada.  It was a fun weird time.  Not long before they went on I came upon the band in on of the stairwells in the venue drinking beer shots out of the drummer beat up Converse hightops.  Gross!!  They rocked though.  Short but sweet set on this day.

The put out a bunch of 7 inches and a few albums that I dig over the last decade or so.  Been pretty quiet recently.  Not sure if they are still an active band.  I was reminded of this show by a post on IG recently from their American record label Slovenly asking if anyone knew what they were up too.  Enjoy.

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.
