Throw Rag@ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 2002-11-22

 

Here is the 6 of 13 posts on the way down to post 666.  The countdown continues.

I love Throw Rag and and anything Sean Wheeler is involved in.  I'm positive I had heard them by this point in the fall of 2002.  Desert Shores didn't drop until summer of 2003 but I know I had their split 7 inch with Tenderloin in the late 90s.   This was for sure my first time seeing the band.

I'm unsure on the microphones used.  It might have been my buddy Tom's Microtech Gefell m300s > Sonosax SX-M2 rig.  This kinds of sounds like it was recorded from a tall stand.  Either way I think this sounds pretty good with minimal crowd chatter.  Killer setlist too.  Enjoy

Abdomen Of Hypnosis @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 1995-03-04

 

Here is the 7 of 13 posts on the way down to post 666.  The countdown continues.

Today another MarcR 1995 recording.  This time it's one for all you old Denver rock heads who were around in the 90s.  Abdomen Of Hypnosis was a Denver band that put out a few things on local label  D.U. Records..  Which is also the label all the Longmont Potion Castle stuff comes out on.  Is there a connection?  I don't know.

Abdomen Of Hypnosis sound notched right in with the 90s alt rock era.  I pick up some Dinosaur Jr influences for sure.  I never got to see them live but have had their CD "Terminal Area" since around the time of this show.  I always really liked it.  I dug it out recently to help with tracking out this set and I think it still holds up great.  Worth seeking out I think.

Short opening set from these guys on this night. They were opening for Sebadoh.

To Be Eaten @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2010-08-08

 

Here is the 8 of 13 posts on the way down to post 666.  The countdown continues.

To Be Eaten totally ruled back in the aughts.  I saw them a bunch of times.  I got to know Ben Pitts back around that time and have seen him in a bunch of bands in those 15 years.  These days he has Nightwraith, and plays with In Company Of Serpents, and a few other projects that are escaping me at the moment.  He's a busy guy.  

I asked Ben about the title for the 4th song in this set and he said they never gave it a name at the time and were still calling it New Song until the end.  

Pretty nice sound on this.  Mix is a little rowdy at first but it gets reigned in.  This is a combo of my room mics and a board feed.  The pictures and poster are from a different show but are the only good shots I had of To Be Eaten.  As Ben mentions in the recording this particular show they played on a bill with Only Thunder and Chuck Ragan!!  Hell of a night.

Primus @ Mammoth Events Center, Denver CO, 1995-12-10

 

Here is the 9 of 13 post on the way down to post 666.  The countdown continues.

Today I present another of the MarcR recordings.  This time a show from Primus at the Mammoth Event Center (aka Fillmore) in Denver on December 10th 1995.  They were on tour for Tales From The Punchbowl and Les says this was the last night of their tour.  I did some looking around and I can't seem to find this show posted anywhere else so this is either uncirculated or barely circulated.

"Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" was their hit at the time.  They play it early in the set and Les introduces it saying "Ok lets get this over with".   Ha Ha.

Pretty varied setlist with songs from across their catalog.  I think MarcR must have recorded this up in the balcony.  The crowd sounds mostly distant except for a few people shouting out for songs.  Marc got a good pull here which can be hard to do in this room.  Enjoy.

Reverend Deadeye @ The Continental Club, Denver CO, 2008-06-27

 

Here is the 10 of 13 post on the way down to post 666.  The countdown continues.

The right good Reverend Deadeye from Denver plays a mix of gospel, garage, and blues.  He kicked around Denver for years and now mostly resides in Switzerland. I must have seen him first at either Benders or Lion's Lair with his "goddamn wife".  Mostly I saw him as a solo act but he was also in a band with Alex Herbert called Broken Spirits.  I lost track of the number of times I caught him live over the years.

While his live appearances are few and far between these days he is still active.  You can learn more and buy some of his music on his site    https://www.revdeadeye.com/

Around the time of this show in 2008 Deadeye appeared in a independent movie called "THE FOLK SINGER - A Tale of Men, Music & America".  Him, Possessed By Paul James, and Scott H Biram speak and play songs about why they do what they do.  Worth seeking out if your a fan of any of these guys.

This show was at the fun but short lived Continental Club in Denver at 5th and Santa Fe.  It opened not long after we moved to the neighborhood and we had some fun times there.  The Reverend Deadeye was packing up his van and hitting the road.  For good.  See ya later.  So this was billed as his "Farewell show".  He let me setup my mics right in front of him on the on the floor were he performed.  So it is about as direct as it gets.  Really happy with this capture.  This was in an active bar environment so there is some atmosphere on the recording I kind of like it.  It took me right back to this night.  Enjoy.

The Bronx @ Boulder Theatre, Boulder CO, 2003-06-21

 

Here is the 11 of 13 post on the way to post 666.  The countdown continues.

This time my 2nd time seeing The Bronx.  The 1st time was the night before in Denver.  Before big promotors were keen on proximity clauses bands would come to Colorado and do a 2 or 3 city run across the front range.  I loved it and would often catch all the dates.

This tour was with The Supersuckers and Throw Rag which was a hell of a kick ass line up.

I assume that this was the first time The Bronx had come to Colorado.  Matt complains about t he altitude which is a sure sign of a newbie to the state.  The Bronx are still at it and bigger than either of the bands they opened for on this tour these days.

Me and my buddy Tom were in good with the Throw Rag guys and probably got guest listed for this one.  They certainly helped us get our recording gear and mic stands in.  We even got a board feed on this night.  This Bronx recording is from the board and a cool fun listen.  But also illustrative of why a monitor feed can be not so great.  The mix is a bit all over the place before settling in for their first set.   I must have had a bad MD too because I had to cut the first 2 songs because a massive amount of  drop outs.

Planes Mistaken For Stars @ Oriental Theatre, Denver CO, 2007-08-13

 

Here is the 12 of 13 post on the way to post 666.  The countdown continues.

This time a ferocious  Planes Mistaken For Stars set at the Oriental Theatre in Denver at the end of the summer of 2007.   I posted a June of 2007 PMFS show back in 2021.  This is the only other time that I recorded them.  I did see them a few more times after this.  

It all has come to a rather sad end with PMFS but I can't think of another band with a stronger posthumously released album than "Do You Still Love Me?"  If you are a fan and haven't heard that yet.  Drop what you're doing and go listen.

This was a free show on a Monday night.  I walked right in with a mic stand and flew them high for this set.  We got cool opening sets from California band Mystery Hang Up and locals 29th Street Disciples. Enjoy.
