I was thinking about Rocket From the Crypt recently. I read that they were having a special Halloween show in San Diego this year. Some kind of 3D spooktacular. No doubt it was a super fun event. I miss seeing them live so that they are still getting out and playing does my heart good.
It got me to thinking about they times that I have seen them and which recording I have shared. I remembered that I have never posted this 2001 set from The Startlight in Fort Collins Colorado.
It was a hot, hot, July night and John Reis mentions that fact multiple times and about how the crowds bad body odor is affecting the the tuning of their guitars and the sound of the amps. He recommends that one gentleman in the crowd "meets my friend soap". It was mostly jokes but I'm sure it was rip in that place that night.
John also mentioned that it was their first time in town but I have a RFTC recording from a show in Ft Collins from way back in 1993.
Wretch Like Me and Bill the Welder opened up for this show.
Sound pretty good I think. Nice clear vocals and nothing is blown out. Enjoy.

That 3D Halloween RFTC show looked super cool. Not sure I'm going to post the 93 show. It's pretty rough. I could send it to you if you really want to hear it.
