Superbuick, Live in Denver CO, 1999-04-23 and 2002-09-26


Been meaning to get this posted up.  Denver's Superbuick was a band started by Duane Bodenheimer after returning to Denver when his most famous band The Derelicts dissolved at the end of the 90s. They played punk rock but with big rock guitar sounds.  Reminiscent of Hellacopters or New Bomb Turks.  The existed from the late 90s into the early aughts.  The band was Duane Bodenheimer - vocals, Eli Molyneux - guitar, Charlie Romero - guitar, Geoff Andersen - bass, & Joseph Vigil - drums.  Sadly Duane passed away last year and Eli and Joseph left us a few years back as well.  

The first set is from the Bluebird Theatre when Superbuick opened up for Supersuckers i n1999. The second is a set from the 15th Street Tavern when the opened for Valentine Killers.  I'm pretty sure their released output is 1 CD single with 2 songs and tracks on a couple local comps.  I had to ask Geoff for help with the song titles.  Most of these were never released songs.  Lots of Duane stage banter.  Enjoy.

Mike Watt and the Missingmen @ HQ, Denver CO, 2026-05-07 and 08

 




Always a good time seeing Mike Watt.  They did a two night stand at HQ in Denver Colorado last week. Playing on the 7th and 8th of May 2026.  The played the same set both nights.  On the second night Mike loses his voice a little bit.  Tom handled a lot of vocals.

I think this sounds nice and I hope you enjoy it.

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.
