The John Doe Thing @ Lion's Lair, Denver CO, 2000-08-27


I guess while I'm on a bit of an X kick.  With the vintage cassette recording I just posted and another one on deck for later.  I might as well post up a John Doe show from the Lion's Lair back in 2000.  He was touring with The John Doe Thing band.  They were touring behind the Freedom Is... album.

They played a bunch of songs from that album along with other solo John songs and a handful of X songs.  He's full of stage banter on this night too.  Fun show.  Sound is pretty good on this one I think. Enjoy.

X @ Cal State Long Beach soccer field, Long Beach CA, 1984-03-30

 

Here is post #5 of recordings from the Kat archive.  Today featuring another uncirculated recording from her cassette stash.  This time Los Angeles punk icons X playing on a soccer field at the Cal State Long Beach campus.  Just over 39 years ago.   It sounds like it was a Miller beer sponsored spring break event maybe.  John mentions there being a gigantic inflatable Miller bottle at one point.  

X is a pretty well documented band so I assumed I could figure out the date of this show and other details fairly easily.  The cassette was undated but I was told mid 80s.  I looked and looked and have found no mentions of this show at all.  They toured a lot back then so I'm sure they took any opportunity to play.  Even at a rowdy campus event.  Probably was a good payday.

This got me excited about having a recording that no one had heard in ages.  The quality is not amazing being that it is outside on a soccer field.  Mid set it sounds like it might be raining.  So weather is a bit of an issue. There is some wind phasing in places.  Lots of  nice moments too.  I would call this a fan only recording since most listeners don't want to hear all the extra atmosphere that is surrounding the taper.  Me I love that stuff.  

I was still at a loss for an accurate date for this show but I decided to just go ahead and process it and once I got it tracked and tagged I could figure that out.  Well at the start of the recording Kat and my friend Randy do a recording test where Randy describes the day and mentions that it is March 30th 1984.  Thanks Randy!!  You saved the day and ended the research.

Like I mentioned.  The sound is what it is and there is some rowdy crowd interaction and some odd tape moments that I faded in and out of.  But a hell of a setlist.  Warts and all.  Enjoy.

Siouxsie and the Banshees @ Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, Santa Monica CA, 1984-07-06



Here is another Kathy Georges recording from her cassette masters.  This time I choose Siouxsie and the Banshees live at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, on Friday July 6th.  

From the posters and other info I have found this was the first of a 2 night stand at the Civic Auditorium and was billed as the 1st Los Angeles appearance in 2 1/2 years.  They were on tour for the Hyæna album and the setlist features heavily from that record.  

Sound is pretty good on this one.  Crowd surrounding the recording device is pretty chill.  Fun listen I think.  Enjoy

Cannabis Corpse @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2009-10-19

 



I was going to post this show last week and then I recalled that I should wait until the high holy holiday that is 420 to post it.

Cannabis Corpse is a Richmond Virginia band featuring members of Municipal Waste and Antietam.  As you might have guessed from the name being similar to Cannibal Corpse they are a death metal band.  The music is very death but the lyrics are all about weed in a very extreme way.  It's all meant to be in fun and it sure was.

This was amazing with Denver's own Speedwolf and Ramming Speed who are also from Richmond being on the bill.  I think Reed from Speedwolf made the above poster too.

I think it sounds great I think so enjoy.

Michael Dean Damron & Thee Loyal Bastards @ Meadowlark Bar, Denver CO, 2007-03-10

 


A year after Michael Dean Damron's band, I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In The House, broke up he came to Denver with a new band called Thee Loyal Bastards.  They recorded an album called Bad Days Ahead that came out in 2008.

I've been a big fan since I wondered into a ICLASOBITH show at the 15th Street Tavern in the early aughts.   Michael is a great song writer and commands the stage when he plays.  In the years after this ICLASOBITH reformed, recorded 2 more albums, and have played occasional shows and he was just recently out touring playing some solo shows.   If you get a chance to see him don't miss it.

This show features mostly songs from that 2008 album and his guitarist, from Portland band Drunken Prayer, sings and plays one of his song "What Made Me Kill".

Thee Loyal Bastards played this show with Portland band Kleveland also on the bill opening up for Denver's amazing Red Cloud.  I remembered this being recording being kind of chatty since it was recorded in the small confines of the Meadowlark Bar but I think it sounds pretty nice and is a fun performance.   Enjoy.

The Replacements @ California Institute of the Arts, Valencia CA, 1984-11-03

 

Another Replacements show from the Kat Georges archive.  This time from when the played a Halloween party at Cal Arts in Valencia California with the Minutemen.  

They played in the Dining Hall and the acoustics are what you would expect.  Fun listen though.  They seem to have it pretty together compared to the 86 show I just posted.  

Quality starts off pretty rough but gets a little better as the show goes on.  Especially during the lest bombastic numbers.  Enjoy.

The Replacements @ The Roxy, Hollywood CA, 1986-05-01

 



Here is another recording from the Kat Georges master cassette archive.  This time it is the Replacements live at the Roxy in Hollywood California on May 1st 1986.  Other versions of this show have circulated before but this is the first time for this RQ-J36 capture has been shared.

The description of this show that I had read was that Paul was giving Bob and extra hard time the whole show.  Maybe you had to be there to see it.  There is a little bit of  that on here but not much. Paul does yell the chord changes at Bob during 'Waitress In The Sky' but that is pretty far into the set and by then the whole thing is devolving in to the drunken slog of cover after cover song.  Bob Stinson leaves the band or is fired in August of this year.

In this loud rowdy club show the Panasonic RQ-J36 was put to the test for sure.  It handles it pretty well but there are some rough spots.  Fun listenable experience for a fan for sure.  Enjoy.

Jerry Cantrell @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 2023-03-27

 




I've been a Jerry Cantrell fan since first hearing Alice In Chains in the summer of 1990.  Saw Alice In Chains a bunch of times and Jerry solo once back in 2001.  That show is posted up on here.

Really enjoyed his new album Brighten that came out last year.  Missed an opportunity to see him last year as well so I didn't want to miss him this time.  The man is just walking tone.  His voice and guitar playing as just so distinctive.   Joining him on this tour was Greg Puciato - vocals, George Adrian - Bass, Gil Sharone - Drums, Lola Colette - keyboards, vocals, Michael Rozon - pedal steel, & Tyler Bates - guitar.  Really a kick ass band.

Great setlist with Alice In Chains classics and a bunch of solo Jerry stuff.  Enjoy.
