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.
