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.
