"Demons" @ Bluebird Theater, Denver CO, 2002-09-17

 

Here is another band with a name fitting the Halloween season.  "Demons" also from Sweden like the Dahmers who I posted recently.  The "Demons" were most certainly an influence on that younger band since they proceeded them by a decade at least.  Both play that high energy rock n roll that Swedish bands do so well.

This show was from when they were touring the USA with New Bomb Turks in 2002.  I posted the NBT set awhile back.  I hadn't listed to these guys in bit and forgot how hard they rock.  I need to put on the vinyl that I have.  Great band.  Looks like they are still active a bit.  Need to check out their new stuff.  Enjoy.

Kingdom of Magic @ 3 Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2011-07-22

 

Kingdom of Magic were a heavy Denver band in the aughts to early 10s.  Members for this show were Lucius Fairchild, Joseph Ramirez & Andrew Lindstrom I believe.  Man about town Sid Pink provides an intro for the band at this 2011 UMS set.  

I saw 4 or 5 Kingdom Of Magic shows back then and it always a good heavy shit.  Fuck yeah!  

Turn it up!

The Dahmers @ HQ, Denver CO, 2024-04-20

 

The Rocky Mountain Ripper Fest is a hella good time every year.  Micah Morris, who also plays in Fast Eddy, has put it on that last 4 years and brings so many good underground rock n roll bands to Denver.  I saw so much fun rocking stuff over the 3 days this year.  I'm looking forward to see who's on the bill for next year.

The 2024 band that closed out the whole thing was The Dahmers from Sweden.  They are a horror themed punk rock / rock n roll band.  Upbeat good time songs about having Brain Spiders or being a Rat Boy.  Great high energy performance that sold me immediately  Love to see them again someday.

I think this turned out really nice and since we are rolling into the Halloween season I figured it would be a perfect show to post.  Enjoy.

SLAYER @ Fillmore Auditorium, Denver CO, 2001-11-30

 

Here is my recording of Slayer at the Fillmore in Denver back in the fall of 2001.  On tour for God Hates Us All.  The openers were American Headcharge and Chimaira. Who I don't recall actually seeing.  Might have been stuck in the always stupid long lines at this venue.  Who knows.

Killer setlist on this tour.  Great song after great song.  Not much stage banter.  They plowed right through the 18 songs.  This suffers sound wise from being at the Fillmore and it sounds like I was near the edge of the pit so there is some mic movement.  It is what it is.  Vocals are clear the rest is a bit muddy.    The Mandatory Suicide into Chemical Warfare is my favorite pairing.  Enjoy

Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals @ Macky Auditorium, Boulder CO, 1995-10-05

 

Here is Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals opening set from when the opened for PJ Harvey at the Macky Auditorium in Boulder Colorado back in 1995.  I posted the PJ set not long ago.

This is another MarcR recording.

I'm not sure I got into it until later but I was a fan of his guitar playing and the album Fight For Your Mind.  Been awhile since I had listened to any of his stuff.  Still digging it.  Fun to get to hear this show.

Short but sweet set.  Sounds real nice I think.  Enjoy.

Dale Crover (Melvins) @ Marquis Theatre, Denver CO, 2024-07-13

 

Dale Crover of the Melvins was out on tour playing drums for Redd Kross recently.  Before they played Dale came out and DJ's some songs for the crowd.  Including, CW McCall - Convoy, ? - Peanut Butter Jelly Time, Warlock Pinchers - Morrissey Rides A Cockhorse, Spinal Tap - Big Bottom, Jacqueline Taïeb - 7 AM, The Rolling Stones - I Wanna Be Your Man, Sam The Sham & The Pharaoh - Lil' Red Riding Hood, Plague Vendor - Rougher Than Rough, and a couple others I didn't recognize.

After that he got up with an acoustic guitar and played a small selection of his solo songs and a Melvins song.  I've never seen Dale do anything but play drums so it was cool to see him in another light.  Good stuff.

Smashing Pumpkins @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 1993-10-10

I was at this show and a massive Smashing Pumpkins fan in 1993.  Siamese Dream had dropped earlier that year and they just took off.  I had seen them on the Gish tour in Denver in 1991.  They played at the Denver Coliseum as part of a bill with Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam.  That show made me a fan.

Years later, at the end of the 90s or beginning of the aughts, while I was doing a ton a CDR trading I acquired this 1993 Smashing Pumpkins Ogden show recording.  I remembered it be good but it got filled away in the boxes.  Recently I made an effort to pull all of my own recording that I had on CDR and all other Colorado shows.  I rediscovered this one in that exercise and then it came up in conversation around the same time.  I had to get it posted on here.

I immediately ripped the CDRs to WAVs and revisited it.  I suspect that this might be another MarcR recording as I've seen sources for this show listed as audience DAT but there were a lot of tapers so who knows.  It is also posted on the LMA.    https://archive.org/details/tsp1993-10-10.flac16/

It is the same source as this but the tracking wasn't complete.  The posted comment says that this show is notable not only the first performance of Drown and also that they didn't play Cherub Rock.  That is incorrect.  It's just not split out as a track on the LMA post.  The play it after some banter that must have been encore break.  The CDR source fades out in a few spots where lulls were removed I think.  Amazing finally with Starla.  Best SP show I ever saw in retrospect.

I corrected some audio level issues and massaged it a little bit.  The vocals are nice and clear and during the quite parts it is quite nice.  I remember this show being super loud so during those parts it gets a little muddy.  Some of that is just due to the way that room sounded back then.  Very listenable I think and a hell of a setlist.  Enjoy.
