Melvins @ the Summit in Denver, CO 2013-07-15

I've lost track of the number of times that I have seen the Melvins.  They tour all the time so probably at least once a year since 1995 or so.  Their line-up has changed a bunch over the years but they are always consistently great.

For this 30th Anniversary tour Jared, part of the Big Business duo that joined the Melvins back in 2006, was home with his new baby.  In his place for this tour is Jeff Pinkus of Butthole Surfer fame.  He was a perfect fit.

Hope you dig it.  Enjoy

Turbonegro @ The Ogden, Denver,CO 2013-05-20

The story is that Turbonegro played in Denver one other time back at the end of the 90's at the Lion's Lair.  It was right after SXSW and Hank had split home and a roadie sang.  My friend that used to do sound at the Lair said 10 or less people were there.

In 2003 I drove to Lawrence Kansas to soak in the darkness.  So I was please that they were coming to Denver finally.  With the Dwarves none the less.  Fun show.  Check it out.

Peeping Tom @ The Gothic 2007-04-18

Mike Patton fans talked in hushed tones about the forthcoming Peeping Tom project for years and years before it ever saw the light of day.  Supposed demos were leaked and it never was quite clear what direction the project was going to take.  Lovage is a better example of were it ended up than Fantomas.

Trip hop?  Modern R&B, Freestyle rap, beat boxing.  It's all in there.  If your fan of any of that or a Mike Patton fan in general this is worth checking out.

Slayer live @ The Ogden, Denver CO 1998-06-04

 

 In honor of Jeff Hanneman of SLAYER passing away recently I thought I would post some live stuff on here.  First up is SLAYER live at the Ogden Theater back in 1998.  I won six comp tickets from some online contest.  I remember they showed up at my house via FEDEX.  I gave 4 of them away to friends and then the other 2 to some random kids out front.

This was right after SLAYER had released Diabolus in Musica.  What some people branded their sell out nu metal album based on one track Stain Of Mind.  I guess it had a bit of different sound for SLAYER but the rest of the album is heavy as hell.  Scrum, Bitter Peace, Screaming From The Sky.  Great stuff I think.

Maybe because the album was so new they only played one song from it.  Rest of the setlist is super solid.

System of a Down and Clutch opened up the show.

The first track suffers a bit from the taper adjusting the levels a bit but hang in there it gets better.

Here is a little added bonus show.  I've never heard a recording from a Denver stop of the Reign In Blood tour but this little gem from Salt Lake City will  have to do.  A little unsure about that date.  This is a nice sounding recording from the soundboard.  The band is on fire too.  They're so fucking fast.

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.
