In the 90s and early aughts bands coming through Colorado would often play Denver and Boulder. With an additional stops in Ft Collins or Colorado Springs many times for a nice run of shows through the state. Great for the bands too since Colorado is pretty far from the next big concert markets, 8 to 10 hours in any direction, they could do extra shows to make up for the long distances.
Now they have proximity clauses in the music business that prevent bands from doing runs of shows like that. It's kind of a bummer. I caught so many fun 2 or 3 night runs of my favorite bands at the time.
I guess I shouldn't be complaining too much with no one touring at the moment. Bands are still out there making art though. So go and support independent music anyway you can these days.
Here is a set of Boulder then Denver shows from Built To Spill back in June of 2001. They were on tour for the Ancient Melodies of the Future album. Nice long 90 minute plus sets each night. With a different mix of songs. Which Doug talks about briefly at the Boulder show.
Nice sound on these I think. A very enjoyable re-visit to these shows. I'm sure I traded these out on CDR back then. These files are a fresh transfer from my masters. Fresh ears, fresh tags and art. Enjoy.
