Liz Phair @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 1995-04-07

 




Here is another fantastic MarcR recording.  This time a solo electric show by Liz Phair at the Ogden Theatre in Denver CO back on April 7th 1995.   Her most recent album at the time was Whip-Smart but she does play some songs from "whitechocolatespaceegg" which doesn't even come out until 1998.

She started this tour in Denver and says this was her first show in a long time.  Not a whole lot of stage banter she just gets to work and plays 23 songs in 70 minutes.  Good sound and a respectful crowd.  Just look at that setlist!!  Enjoy.

Tool @ Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre, Greenwood Village CO, 1993-06-26


I went to this Lollapalooza back in 1993 so I was pretty excited to see this recording of Tool on the 2nd stage surface recently.  Its a really nice board mix that starts off super quite for 20 seconds or so then Maynard starts talking.   This year I recall seeing Rage Against the Machine, Fishbone, Tool, Primus & Alice in Chains.  Wow right?  

Some time after RATM my friend Jon and I were walking over to the second stage to see Tool and got passed by Zack and Tom from RATM in a golf cart.  We wondered were they were going.  As it turned out Zack got up on stage with Tool and did the Henry Rollins spoken word part from the song "Bottom".  Pretty amazing to see back then and equally so to get to hear it again 33 years later.

Hats of to whoever was the FOH engineer was on this day who recorded this.  Really nice board mix.

Armchair Martian @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2008-06-05




I only saw Armchair Martian a couple times and this was one of them.  They were part of an amazing bill on this night with The Nobodys, a Chad Price solo set, and Drag The River at Three Kings Tavern back in June of 2008.  This show was Jon Snodgrass, Paul Rucker on drums and  Miguel Barron on bass.

Good sound on this one and a setlist of almost every Armchair song you would want to hear.  I had totally forgotten that they ended with a cover of a Tubeway Army song too.  This must have been a hell of a night. No doubt a party and 18 years ago so I have no specific memories of this other than that I was there.  A fun set to revisit.  Enjoy.

Buckethead @ Gothic Theatre, Englewood CO, 2025-06-05

 

Here is a pretty recent recording.  This time from my friend Ramiro.  He made a nice capture of Buckethead at the Gothic back in June of 2025. He shared it with me to share with y'all.

I've never seen Buckethead myself but have been aware of him since his weird long fingered picture in an 80s guitar magazine.  Google it.  He's a shredder and there is lots of shredding happening.
Sounds nice too.  Enjoy.

Camarosmith, Colorado Invasion 2002, September 28th and 29th















Camarosmith from Seattle Washington was formed by Don E. Paycheck and Jeff Matz while Zeke was broken up / on hiatus after 2001. The were joined by Chris Johnsen, Pat Brown, & Ben Rew and the toured a bunch for a couple years.  Zeke got back together and eventually Jeff joined High on Fire.

They play stadium rock n roll with some swagger.  Donny and Jeff really click as a rhythm section and the guitarists rip.  A solid set of original songs and a choice Judas Priest cover.  The Denver set is an nice audience recording and the Ft Collins is a ok board mix.  Both are a fun listen.  Enjoy.

Spiritualized @ Mercury Cafe, Denver CO, 1995-10-25


I was looking through what is left of the unposted MarcR archive I have and this Spiritualized show stood out.  And recently news of the Mercury Cafe, now The Pearl, was closing and then it was seized by the city for back taxes.  Sounds like the owner was either unscrupulous or incompetent.   Hopefully all that gets worked out and it ends up under better stewardship.  The spot is a Denver institution going back to the 80s.

I was going to post this show awhile ago but I did some basic looking around and it seemed that it had been shared.  While revisiting it I found that there is a reference to a audience recording existing on a fan site but no source info or links to a recording.  So this must have been traded some on DAT I imagine but no one is sharing it presently so here it is.

Sound is pretty good just like most of Marc's recordings.  Crowd is a bit chatty in spots but not terribly so.  All round fun listen.  Enjoy.

Spiritual Cramp @ Marquis Theatre, Denver CO, 2026-03-13

 





Here is a fresh one.  Fantastic punk rock n roll band out of San Francisco Spiritual Cramp.  I first heard these guys when I saw them open up for Militarie Gun in 2023.  I picked up the set titled album and listened to the hell out of it.  Caught them again at Punk Rock Bowling in 2025.  Fun to see them again on a smaller stage in 2026.  Not for long I imagine.  They have a big rock sound and are going places.

Great setlist, fun banter, good sound.  Enjoy.
