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.

Acid Bath @ Red Rocks, Morrison CO, 2026-09-15

 






I totally missed the boat on these guys in the 90s.  I know I was aware of them but in that time you had to own a physical media to hear most anything underground.  After reading some of the press about their resurgence it sounds like CD distribution wasn't great and their management kind of screwed them over.  It wasn't until last year before their December Denver appearance that I really dug in and gave their material a good listen.  I'm sure I would have been into it had I heard it back in the day.

It can be really tough to get a nice recording at Red Rocks.  The wind will often make it sound not so good.  On this night we were blessed with almost perfect weather and getting there early I got a great place to record from.   This was a hell of a show with Cephalic Carnage, Windhand, Twin Tribes, & Ministy also on the bill.

This recording is a matrix of my recording and bluejane99's.  He did the work to combine these and I really like the result.  Enjoy.

Red Fang @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2010-10-26


Today I present a Red Fang show from Three Kings Tavern back on October 26th 2010.  These guys just came through with the Sword and played a much larger venue.  Back in 2010 the just had their first self titled album, and a few tour EPs out.  At this show they did play a bunch of songs from the then upcoming album "Murder In The Mountains" that didn't come out until March of 2011.

Not sure why I never had shared this one.  Great setlist and good sound.  Enjoy.

H.R. and the Human Rights Movement @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 2026-03-25

 








I saw Bad Brains a few times but had never seen H.R. and the Human Rights Movement.  Which is a very different vibe.  Lots has been said about H.R. so I'll skip all that.  Guy's a legend and won't be around forever so I went to check it out with some friends.  Enjoy.

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.
