Melvins @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 2026-08-07

 

I love the Melvins and have seen them a ton.  At least 30 times.  I have recordings of 20 of those I think. So it has gotten to the point were I don't feel obligated to see them every single time these days.  Of course them with Tomahawk was too good to pass up.  Great set from them and cool to see the double drummer set up in action again.

Amazing setlist and I think this sounds pretty nice.  Very little crowd chatter.  This recording is a combination of mine and another taper bluejane99's left and right side captures.  He created this matrix of the two with nice results.  Enjoy.

Drag The River @ Gothic Theatre, Englewood CO, 2002-11-07

I'm looking forward to the full band Drag The River shows that they have announced for the end of the year.  So while looking for something to post I saw I had never shared this 2002 DTR set from when they opened up for Hank III and Legendary Shake Shackers at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood Colorado on November 7th 2002.  The line up back then was Jon Snodgrass - vocals, guitar, Chad Price - vocals, guitar, Paul Rucker - drums, J.J. Grueter - bass, & Zach Boddicker - guitar.

They had only released Hobo Demos and Closed so all the songs are from those except Dirty Lips, which they didn't put out until 2006, and some choice covers.  Great board mix capture for this and fun short set.  Enjoy.

Cobalt @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2016-09-24

This is a Colorado deep cut to most I imagine.  Cobalt started in Greeley Colorado in the early aughts  by childhood friends Phil McSorley and Erik Wunder. They put out a string of very well received,  interesting, experimental black metal albums between 2003 to 2009.  During the recording of the album "Slow Forever" Phil left the band as was replaced by Charlie Fell.  Erik Wunder died too young at 42 in 2025.

They didn't tour a whole lot and when they did they recruited outside bass and guitar players to fill out the band.  For this 2016 tour they were joined by Jonathan Campos from Primitive Man on bass and Shane McCarthy from Wayfarer on guitar.  This tour was the most extensive that they ever did across the US with 21 shows.  The tour was joined by German duo Mantar.  Denver was the final homecoming stop.  Original vocalist Phil McSorley came out and sang Gin with the band.

It had been awhile since I had listened to this.  What a great show with songs from across their catalog.

Enjoy.

Tomahawk @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 2026-08-07

I hadn't seen Tomahawk since 2003 so when I saw they were coming with the Melvins I knew I needed go to  the show.  23 years later they still deliver live.  Great set with songs from their entire catalog.  Minimal Mike Patton banter.  They just got to work.  Enjoy.

Melvins @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 2008-07-31

Here is the Melvins headlining set from July 31st 2008.  This was the "Nude With Boots" tour and included Big Business guys Cody Willis on drums and Jared Warren on bass.  I figured since I had posted the SC3 and Big Business sets from this night I better get up this stellar Melvins set.

Great setlist and nice sound on this one.  Enjoy.

Nashville Pussy @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 1998-09-17

Here is audio of Nashville Pussy at the Bluebird Theatre in Denver Colorado back on 1998-09-17.  Jim Hucks shot video of this and sent me the audio to share.  Nashville Pussy was touring behind their debut album "Let Them Eat Pussy".  Most of the set is from that but there are a few new at the time songs and cool cover.  I didn't see this particular show but saw them at the Fox in Boulder with The Hookers around this same time.  Powerhouse live rock n roll band.

The Youtube link below goes to Jim's video.  Sound is ok. The vocals are buried a little bit.  Enjoy.

Suicidal Tendencies @ Mile High Stadium, Denver CO, 1999-07-11

 

Here is another of my 1999 Warped Tour recordings.  Today Suicidal Tendencies!!  At the beginning Mike says that they hadn't been here in 5 years.  I think this might have been my first time seeing them but I had been a fan since the 80s.  In 1999 they were touring behind their new album Freedumb.  They play a couple songs songs from it and some classics.  

I feel I might have been standing on the edge of the pit to record this.  There isn't a whole lot of chatter. Been awhile since I listened to this one. It's not too bad. I quite enjoyed the revisit. Enjoy.
