Dishwalla @ Fox Theatre and Best Buy instore, Boulder - Westminster 1996-07-24 and 23

 

Here is another of MarcR's mid 90s DAT recordings.  This time California Alt Rock band Dishwalla.
You might remember them from their 1996 hit "Counting Blue Cars".  Marc must have been a big fan since he caught 2 performances in a row.  A show at the Fox Theatre in Boulder and an in-store performance at the Westminster Best Buy.

Both recordings sound pretty good.  The band has technical issues with the keyboards at both shows but they were pros and roll with it.  Enjoy.

X @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 2001-08-25

 

Today I present a great X show at the Ogden Theatre from 2001.  Fantastic setlist.  X wasn't very active in the early aughts.  I saw John Doe solo more I think.  They did come to Denver fairly often though for not really touring.  We got 3 encores on this night.  Good times.

Clinging To The Trees Of A Forest Fire @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2008-12-19


Clinging To The Trees Of A Forest Fire was a Denver band from 2006-2013.  They played grindcore with some death metal and metalcore touches.  This was Ethan McCarthy's band before he formed Primitive Man.  On drums was J.P. Damron who also now plays in Ethan's band Vermin Womb.  Bass was Zach Harlan who is also in Vermin Womb.  Guitar by Ben Romsdahl.

I noticed recently that someone started a CTTTOAFF IG page and the hard to find album "Songs Of Ill Hope and Desperation" is available on bandcamp now.  So go check that out.  That inspired me to dig up this recording and get it posted.  

At this 2008 show CTTTOAFF opened a bill that also included Dead Speak, Enemy Reign, and Cephalic Carnage.  Wow!!  Hell of a show.   I had my mics mounted on the ceiling at Three Kings by this point so I think this sounds pretty good.  If your into this kind of thing.  Enjoy.

Hot Snakes @ Oriental Theatre, Denver CO, 2019-09-05

 

Here is my capture of Hot Snakes at the Oriental Theatre in Denver CO back on September 5th 2019.  They were on tour for the magnificent album Jericho Sirens.  Amazing cross catalog setlist.

Sadly Hot Snakes last tour and last time in Denver.  Rick Froberg passed away unexpectedly in 2023.
From what I've read their might be an unreleased Hot Snakes album in the can that was close to finished before Rick's death.  So maybe that will see the light some day.  Enjoy.

Ministry @ Red Rocks Amphitheater, Morrison CO, 2026-09-15

 







I've seen Ministry a bunch of times over the years since the 90s.  I think it's fair to say that it's been hit or miss.  Though they have definitely been on an up swing in recent years.  Good to see.  
This show was all hit for me.  Sounded good.  Interesting setlist and a surprise appearance by Paul Barker.  Enjoy.

Catherine Wheel @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 1995-08-01

 

Today I'm featuring another MarcR recording from his DAT archive.  This time UK shoegaze / hard rock band Catherine Wheel.  Named for a medieval torture device and on tour for their 1995 album "Happy Days", they played the Bluebird Theatre in Denver Colorado on August 1st 1995.  Not a band I was very familiar with other than their hit "Black Metallic".  They stretch that number out to over 10 minutes on this night.

Good sound and not much chatter.  Enjoy.

Old 97s @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 2004-08-07


 
Here is an Old 97's show that I haven't shared before.  This show was part of the annual Triple A radio conference that was/is held at the Fox in Boulder every year.  They were on tour for the "Drag It Up" album this year.   They play a few songs from that and then some classics.  

I've been a big fan of these guys for a long time.  The are still at it today and putting out new music.
Nice sound on this one and I love they played "Dressing Room Walls"  Enjoy.
