Jesus Lizard @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 1997-02-15


 
Today I'm sharing this audio from Jim Hucks fantastic video of a1997 Jesus Lizard show at the Fox Theatre in Boulder Colorado.  Jim sent me a big audio cache recently so I'll be getting some more of that posted soon.  

Jesus Lizard was touring behind their 1st major label album Shot.  They play songs off of that and a nice mix of back catalog.  Pretty nice board mix.  A few drop outs and cut ins in a couple spots.
During the interlude track David Yow brought out their backstage cold cuts platter and some bread and passed it out to the crowd.  You proceeded to mostly just made a big mess.  Prompting Yow to say "Eat it don't throw it".  He complains lightly and makes jokes about the recent indoor cigarette smoking ban that had recently gone in to effect.  Head up if you watch Jim's video linked below.  Yow takes off his pants.

Thanks again to Jim for sharing this with me.  Jesus Lizard are such a great band.  Long time favorite.  I hope they make it to Denver again at some point in their occasional short runs.  Enjoy.

Elder @ Electric Ballroom, London England, 2025-05-16


Here is another set from the Desert Fest London.  This time the band Elder.  They are from Massachusetts but are based in Berlin Gemmary now.  They play a melodic progressive doom metal.  I have seen them before in Denver on a much smaller stage back in 2022.  

I missed the very beginning of their set because I was coming from seeing Ă…rabrot set at the Underworld.
Sounds pretty good and the crowd isn't too chatty.  Towards the end there is a chatty bit were they made us stop standing on the stairs that we had been standing on the whole show up until that point.  Enjoy.

Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore @ Oriental Theatre, Denver CO, 2025-06-11

 



Well yesterday we had an old recording.  Today we have a nice fresh new one.

I've seen Dave Alvin before but never Jimmie Dale Gilmore so this was a not miss for me this year.
We got a nice long set with a bunch of their originals and some fun covers.  Really great show and I think this recording turned out pretty nice.  Enjoy.

Slim Cessnas Auto Club @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 1999-05-29

 

Here is an older one.  I had only been recording live audio at show for about a month or so at this point.  I was already a big SCAC fan and had seen them many times.  I tried to record them a the Lion's Lair a few weeks before and totally botched it.  This was my redemption.

In 1999 SCAC was going through a big change.  Long time member Frank Hauser Jr was no longer in the band and Munly had joined not long before this.  This is a transition show where they are still playing some of the old numbers from the 1st 2 CDs,.   Once they got rolling with Munly and the new songs started coming they never played these old songs very much anymore.

Wish I could remember were I stood and recorded this.  There is very little crowd chatter and I think it sounds pretty nice.  Enjoy.

Michael Dean Damron @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2012-04-21

 



Not long after hearing of Michael Dean Damron's passing I posted a I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In The House show.  My friend Karen Cuda asked me about this show that she played with MDD.  I sent her the picture and said I would check out the audio.  I finally got around to it and it's short but sweet.

Karen plays bass and after a bit my old pal Dan Utter got up and joined in on harmonica. Micah Schnabel gets up there at the end to help on The Weight cover.  Fun times we had.

Dopelord @ The Underworld, London England, 2025-05-18

 





Earlier this year my buddy Matteo asked if I would want to come to London in May for Desert Fest.
I hadn't seen my friend for a long time and I have always wanted to go to a Desert Fest.  Plus I had never been to London before so it was a win win.  

London is a cool city and I had a great time checking it out in between seeing 17 bands over 3 days.
The schedules overlap a bit and some venues you need to be there early yo get in sometimes.  I went mostly for bands that I had never seen or might never get a chance to see.  Caught some really cool stuff.  In order.  Wallowing, Sea Bastard, 10,000 Years, Arabrot, Elder, Scott Hepple & The Sun Band, Conan, Sons of Alpha Centari, Avon, Planet of Zeus, Green Milk From The Planet Orange, Bobbie Dazzle, Mr. Bison, Divide and Dissolve, Castle Rat, Dopelord, Electric Funeral

I made a bunch of recordings too. Figured Dopelord would be a good one to post first since they were one of my must see bands of the fest. Good times.

Truckfighters @ HQ, Denver CO, 2025-05-03

 





My first time seeing Truckfighters and I got a hell of a show.  Denver was the last date on their US tour so it felt like they pulled out all the stops.  Great setlist and I thought they sounded really good.  They had some equipment problems at the beginning of "Momentum" and the bass player and drummer slow jazz it up for a while until the guitar rejoins.  A special 12 minute version they call it.  Turning lemons into lemonade.  Total pros.   I would totally see Truckfighters again.  Enjoy.
