Secret Chiefs 3 @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 2000-05-24

 


This was mine and most people in Denvers first time seeing Secret Chiefs 3.  They had played in California and done an Australian tour in 1998 but I believe that 2000 was the first time they actively were playing shows in the US.  Setlist FM lists this Denver show at the 1st date on the 2000 tour but I've no way to verify that.  It took until 2017 for me to see them again after this.

I had shared this out on CDR back in the aughts CDR trading days but this is a new transfer from the my MD master.  So this I hope is an upgrade from that.  Newly tracked at tagged.  Sounds really nice I think and the crowd is pretty quite and respectful during the mellow parts. Enjoy.
