Unwound @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 1995-03-27

 

One of the best things about music is that more of it has been created and documented than any one person could ever listen to in their lifetime.  That means if you are a fan and care to explore there is always something new to discover.  I had heard the name Unwound over the years.  And in context with other things I liked.  I just never had or took the chance to check them out.  

After hearing MarcR's nice Unwound recording I was blown away and immediately went and searched out their catalog.  They have most all of it up on bandcamp so it was pretty easy to start digging in. As my luck would have it.  The band is playing shows this year and coming to Colorado in October.  Hooray!!

Morphine @ Mammoth Events Center, Denver CO, 1995-09-12

 

Here is another MarcR tape.  This time a 1995 Morphine set from the Mammoth Event Center (aka now the Fillmore) in Denver.  They were part of a interesting bill.  Featuring a headlining Violent Fems, Morphine, Reverend Horton Heat, Supersuckers, and Hagfish.   Sounds fun.  I have recordings of RHH and SSKs but not the other two.

Marc did a nice job on most all of these recordings but this one is astoundingly good for what a horrible boomy barn this room is.  Eddie from Supersuckers spends a fair amount of time complaining about the sound and venue during their set.  This Morphine sounds really nice.  It's close to a really nice board mix with minimal crowd.  I don't know how he did it.   Tape is labeled as "5 feet in front of left stack."  I'm having a hard time believing that.  Sometime you just capture magic.

Great show from Morphine with a pretty talkative Mark Sandman.  Enjoy.

Motörhead @ Gothic Theatre, Englewood CO , 2003-04-29

 


I have a ton a CDRs with live recordings on them from my late 90s early 00 trading days.  I had a show for trade website and at the height was mailing out and receiving 100 CDRs a month.   Then I started recording my own shows to and recordings started stacking up.   I went through the CDRs pulling out any Colorado shows that I found.  Both my recordings an others.  That is where I found this.

Bill Tatina (aka Twister) recorded a lots and lots of shows with high quality microphones.   He sold me my MBHO setup.  I'm unsure if Bill is still with us.  Messages have gone unanswered and he was real sick last time I saw him.   Wish I knew.  Thanks for all the great recordings Bill and being a friend.

Motörhead was on tour in 2003 for their Hammered album.  They play a few songs of of that but tons of classic Motörhead in the setlist.  Lemmy is pretty talkative too.   Fun show.  Bill's  Schoeps capture is real nice.  Great listen.  Enjoy.

Cosmic Psychos & Zeke @ Marquis, Denver CO, 2024-06-09

 


I became a Zeke fan in the 90s and have seen them lots and lots of times over the years.  So I would have gone to see them anyway but when the announced a tour with Australia's Cosmic Psychos I bought a ticket right way.   I've been a fan of the Cosmic Psychos for a long time too but never saw them during their heyday.  Not sure how many times they had ever made it to Denver either.  I had just missed them when the opened for fellow country men The Chats so could not miss them again.

They also fall into my guideline of going to see bands that had to get visa's to even get into the US to tour.  It's become more difficult for bands to pull off international tours these days so I try to make seeing them a priority since you might never get another chance.

Zeke is back baby.  Donny Paycheck is back on drums and kicking ass.  The whole band was just tour tight and blasting through their 28 song set.  Sounded great I thought.  Broke my curse of fucking up my Zeke recordings finally.  I think the last times they have come to Denver, going back to before the pandemic when the came with Antiseen, I have some how had gear but managed to not make a recording.  Good show to pull it off at.

Cosmic Psychos are a unique force and such a good live band.  Not sure I'll ever get another chance but if I do I won't miss them.  What a fun show this was.  Long time good time locals Self Service opened up.  Enjoy.

Pegboy @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 1995-03-27

 

Here is another MarcR recording from 1995.  This time Pegboy from Chicago touring behind their album Earwig.  They play some songs that end up on Cha Cha Damore too.  

I missed the boat on Pegboy and despite liking this style of punk rock I guess my limited music budget was going elsewhere in 1995.  This tape was my first time hearing these songs.  Have since gone back and listened to the studio stuff too and I like it.  Looks like they are doing some touring this summer and hitting Denver.  I'm going to try and catch that one for sure.

Sound is pretty good.  Man does Larry complain about that altitude a lot.  
Being over a mile high in elevation is no joke for low landers.  

Stay safe, go do some good.

Red Fang @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 2024-06-29

 

There are more good shows happening in Denver then I could ever hope to go to let alone record.  So I'm glad there are fellow tapers out there like bluejane99 catching stuff that I don't.  He shared this very fresh Red Fang with me to share on my blog.

Hard to believe that their self titles LP came out over 15 years ago.  I have 2009 show of theirs at 3 Kings posted on here.  They play 4 songs from it with a mix of newer rockers.  Sounded like it was a good show.  Sounds pretty good too.  Enjoy.

The Obsessed @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2024-04-01

 


Wino is one of those guitar players who just has his own tone.  And it's not the gear.  Wino could pick up and play any guitar and it would sound like him.  

Last time I caught The Obsessed was back in 2016 at HQ.  Was excited to see them return to my now favorite room the Hi Dive earlier this year.  Nice set of new and old songs.    I think this sounds real nice so enjoy.
