Bob Mould @ The Bluebird 2013-04-21








I never saw Husker Du or Sugar during their heydays.  I saw Bob solo a couple times with mixed results.  The shows were good and he even pulled out the electric for some tunes but it wasn't the same without a band.  Loved the return to form when I heard his newest record Silver Age for the first time.

Was really happy when I saw that finally their was a Denver date for his tour.  It was well worth the wait.  Loud fast ruled the night and his cracker jack band tore it up.  Best show by a rock trio I've seen all year.

Captured a pretty nice recording.  Hope you enjoy it.

Ghost @ The Ogden, Denver, CO 2013-04-18










Seems like these guys could blow up in the States.  They have a major label release out so someone is banking on that happening as well.  There was a ton of other shows going on in Denver on all the dates surrounding this show so maybe people had to pick and choose because turn out was kind of light.
Or maybe Ghost is just so blatantly satanic that their pop music sensibilities are lost on the crowd they are trying to reach.  Metal nerds get it but it might be too much for mainstream FM hard rock radio listeners.

Who knows.  All I know is that this was a fun show.  They have upped the production values since the last time I saw them and the non stop touring has made them into a machine.

This is my capture of evenings ritual.  Hope you enjoy it.

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band live in Denver, CO 2013-04-02



I've seen a lot of bands of the years but Bob Seger wasn't one of them.  No particular reason really.  The man has written some great songs.  A lot of people might know him from a certain car company beating his song Like A Rock to death in television commercials for years and years.

Anyway a friend offered me a ticket and I figured what the yell.  I even skipped seeing Anthrax for this show.

What I didn't know was our seats were 1 row of seats from being as far away from the stage as you can sit.  Not that I'm complaining.  I had a lot of fun.  And thanks to the forward thinking designers of the sound system for this giant hockey arena it didn't sound to bad at all.

That said this is one of those Warts and All recordings that I allude to in my mission statement.  The people in front of us are pretty chatty.  So if that's not your bag I might skip this one.  But if your a fan of the old time rock n roll or are just curious to hear what it sounds like in in section 322 row 13 check it out.
