Hank III @ Bluebird Theater, Denver CO, 2002-02-02


Here is another Hank III show from the early aughts. It doesn't feel like it was 20 years ago.  This was a Hank III headlining show where he played a 20 song country set before going into the Assjack stuff.

I think this one sounds really nice too.  I believe Tom brought out the Neuman microphones for this show.  The really make a nice capture.

I'm certain I traded this out on CDR back in the day.  This is a fresh transfer from the master.  I didn't do much to adjust the audio since it sounded so good.  Newly tracked and tagged.  I would consider this an upgrade if you have it already.  Enjoy.

Melvins @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 2001-05-07

 

Melvins were on tour for the Electroretard album.  Kevin Rutmanis was on bass still.  They opened up with an abbreviated version of "Colossus of Destiny" which they released later that year as a stand alone album featuring a live recording of an extended noise experimental set they recorded in 1998.  My recording fades in on it so I must have missed the beginning.  It's not nearly as torturous at that album.  

Hell of a setlist for this performance.  I think I might have some how missed the last two songs.  Setlist FM has Hung Bunny and Roman Bird Dog listed as being played last on this night.  That might be the case but since it was over 20 years ago now I don't recall.

Melvins were/are taper friendly and the Fox Theatre always was so my friend Tom and I ran a tall stand in the great sounding Fox and I think this came out really nice.  Enjoy.

Hank III & Assjack @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 2001-05-07

 

This is from a run of shows that Hank III and Assjack did with the Melvins.  Hank III had shown up on the Melvins covers album Crybaby the year before so this wasn't as crazy of a pairing as it might have seemed.  He warns the crowd that if they came for the country music they are going to be disappointed.  He gives them a little taste with the first 3 songs and then it goes hard.

Maybe my favorite era of Assjack.  Kick ass band line up for these shows.  Hank III, Melvins, and the Fox were all taper friendly so we ran a tall stand for this one.  Sounds really nice I think.

I'm going to post the Melvins set from this night tomorrow.

Hayseed Dixie @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 2002-06-21

 


Was looking for something new to post and remembered this show from back in 2002.  These guys recorded a bluegrass tribute to AC/DC on a lark in 2001 and it was so well done and fun that it garnered a lot of attention and they ended up touring behind it and recording a bunch of other albums over the years.

Right before this show at the Fox they had just played the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.  So they weren't just some jokey novelty act.  People took them seriously in that world. Well maybe until they heard them play their song "I'm Keeping Your Poop".  

This was an "evening with" if I recall so no opener and the band played two sets.  I've melded it all into one but I think the set break was after TNT.

The Fox always sounded great and it was fun to revisit this show.  Enjoy.

Slift @ HQ, Denver CO, 2022-10-11

 









Slift is a band from France that gets labeled stoner rock and while they do slot into that category I think it leans way harder into prog rock then some of the more stripped down rock stuff that I think of when I hear that genre applied.  

That makes sense since my Phish loving friend talked me into going to the show.  It was already on my radar and I like to try and catch bands that have come a long way to play in Denver.  I might never get another chance to see them.  Slift had a cool projected light show for their whole set.  

I wasn't familiar with their material at all going into the show but I enjoyed it.  I think it turned out pretty nice.  Enjoy.

Seaweed @ Lion's Park, Cheyenne WY, 1992-05-09

 

This is a recording from the box of Lantz cassettes.  He recorded this back in 1992.  As far as I know this hasn't circulated much if at all.  I'm from Cheyenne and never saw anything cool like this while I lived there.  I've never seen very many recordings out of Wyoming or many live Seaweed recordings.  Figured I would get it posted up.   

This had to have been one of their first times touring out side of Washington state.  How they ended up in Wyoming I don't know but they seem to be having a good time.  All the songs are from the Weak LP, Despised EP, and assorted early singles.  Sound quality isn't amazing but the  vocals are pretty clear and I've had a good time listening to it over and over while I figured out the set list.  It is what it is.  Enjoy.
