I first saw Split Lip Rayfield in 2004 at the Larimer Lounge. I had been planning on going to see Wayne 'The Train' Hancock that night at the Lion's Lair but he canceled. A friend had already made it downtown to see that show too so I suggested that we go check out Split Lip Rayfield instead.
We biked on over there from Cap Hill and had our minds blown. I was an instant fan. I think all their albums are great and worth seeking out if your a fan of some frantic bluegrass. Really good song writing too.
Sadly they lost one of the main members Kirk Rundstrom to cancer in 2007. After taking a much needed breather. They returned to the road in 2008 as a tribute to Kirk. This show was from that tour at Quixotes True Blue in Denver CO.
In more recent bad news SLR member Wayne Gottstine also is having a bout with cancer. Go seek out some official band product, or I bet he might have a kickstarter, if you so inclined to send some support to the band or him directly.
Hell of a setlist on this cold night back in 2008. I had remembered this one as being not so good with a shitty crowd. Time has faded whatever perceived faults I thought this had. The crowd is pretty rowdy but it doesn't over power the music. Enjoy.
