Supersuckers @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 1997-07-01

 




Here is a really nice board mix of the Supersuckers at the Bluebird in 1997.  Must Have Been High had been out for a few months but this is a full on rock show.  It took awhile for their country side to catch on with a lot of the fans.   As close as it gets at this show is Dirt Roads, Dead Ends, & Dust.  Which at the time was an unreleased song.   It shows up on 1999s Evil Powers of Rock N Roll.

I went to this show but hadn't started recording shows yet.  I can't remember who I got this from back in the crazy CDR trading days.  Or who recorded it.  The Bluebird had a recording setup that multiple people had access too.  Sounds pretty nice.  As a little more life to it then a lot of board tapes.

Rowdy crowd and a kick ass setlist on this night.  Lots of the classics and a preview of a few songs that end up on Evil Powers.  Added bonus for me is that they play the song I named this blog after.  Might be the last time I heard them play it either.  Fun show.  Enjoy.

Steel Pole Bathtub @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 1993-06-20

 





Big thanks to the incredibly prolific taper ijwthstd for all the audio he has recorded and shared with the world over the years.  Check out his site HERE.  He posted this show from an unknown taper that I knew would be of some interest to some Colorado folks.  I knew I freaked out a little bit when I saw it on his site.   So many things get recorded but not so many shows get widely disseminated so you just never know what is going to surface.

I was busy being married with children in the early 90s so I missed lots of show that I wanted to see.  This one would have been on my radar since I saw lots of shows at the Fox.  What a line up!!
Steel Pole Bathtub, Ethyl Meat Plow, and locals Foreskin 500!!   Thanks to Ted Underhill for the pic of the ticket stub.  The most certainly were on tour for their album "The Miracle Of Sound In Motion".

The source of this recording is a soundboard feed.  Mostly likely the FOH mix.  Meaning there is less guitar in the mix and more drums and vocals since the guitars are blaring out of amps on stage and don't need to be in the house mix as much.  I recall there being a patch bay behind FOH the Fox sometimes back then.  Many a board recording from the Fox.   I think this sounds good for what it is but I love me a room recording with a little more crowd feel.   Terrific relic of the time though.  Enjoy.

Elder, @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2022-08-31

 



Elder is a German band via Massachusetts.  They have been part of the heavy rock scene since 2006.  They play long cinematic songs that go on a journey.   I had never seen them before so when they announced this show with Belzebong at the Hi Dive I didn't want to miss it.

I posted the Belzebong show previously here.

I think this turned out fantastic.  This show why Hi Dive is my favorite small room for heavy stuff.
Enjoy

Cauldron @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2011-05-10

 

I was listening to a random digital music mix the other day and Cauldron came on and it got me to thinking about this show.   Cauldron is a Canadian speed metal band.  They sound like a band straight of the mid to late 80s.  From the guitars to the perfect vocals. They don't take themselves too seriously though based on some of their songs titles like 'Chain Up In Chains", "Frozen In Fire", and "The Striker Strikes".   Fun stuff.

This show they played with headliner Holy Grail and local open To Be Eaten.  I think this sounds really good as the Hi Dive mostly does.  Enjoy!
