I've been a big fan of Jesse Dayton since the late 90s. I saw him a couple times at the Lion's Lair in 2001 were he played to a sparse crowd. Fun shows for me but I'm not sure how stoked on the low turnout Jesse and the band were. Still the delivered great sets with a mix of originals and covers.
We get to hear the George Jones song "Grand Tour" twice. Towards the end of the set one of the Lion's Lair owners and long time Denver show promotor Doug Kauffman requested to hear it again and offered Jesse $20 to play it again. Jesse agrees to do it saying "and that is why they call it the music business and not the music friends".
Jesse had gone on to do a bunch of albums since this show and ever directed a zombie movie. He currently has a very well received blues album that he did with Samantha Fish and has be touring a ton behind it. Love to see it as I celebrate his entire catalog.
Sound on this is pretty good but there is a fair amount of room atmosphere in there too. I've enjoyed revisiting it.
