Billy Joe Shaver @ The Lion's Lair, 2003-04-06

Presenting the living country legend Billy Joe Shaver at the (Worlds Famous) Lion's Lair in Denver Colorado. Capacity at the Lair at the time was about 100. It's a small room with the bar right in the center. Maybe 25 bar stools ringed the bar and the stage was right behind the bar. Front row seats with drink service.

This was one of those show where I felt kind of bad and totally privileged at the same time. The show being on a Sunday night might have contributed to a light turnout but just enough people showed up to fill every bar seat. I couldn't believe that Denver seemed to not know who Billy Joe was or didn't care. Billy Joe didn't seem to care about the small turn out though. He played a great set of songs and told some great stories. 

Towards the end he told the audience that he will play one more song if we would all stand up. Of course everyone stands up and they start the next song. Not far into it he told us all that we could sit back down. What a sweetheart.

Really nice sounding soundboard of this performance. This show is in the top five list of my favorite recordings. Hope you enjoy it.
