Mojo Nixon & The Toadliquors @ Middle East, Boston MA, 1999-04-21

 

I got this cassette back in the early aughts.  Likely from the taper since I didn't usually trade for cassettes.  It was all CDrs.  I have no record or recollection of who I got this from.  It was part of a batch that had a bunch of Supersuckers shows too.  I recall listening to it back then but it went in a box 20+ years ago.  

Recently I was looking at the box and decided to digitize all of them.  Some good good stuff in there that I will share eventually.  This Mojo Nixon show isn't on the LMA or even listed on setlist FM so I have to assume that this is a relatively uncirculated Mojo show.  Hats off to the taper.  I think it sounds really nice.  If it was you let me know and I'll give you credit.

Lots of crazy Mojo stage banter and a great setlist.  I bet this was a fun night.  Enjoy.

The Pleasure Barons, Live in Vancouver Canada, 1989-02-25

 

The Pleasure Barons were a "super" group comprised of Country Dick Montana, Mojo Nixon, and Dave Alvin.  With a wide range of guests including John Doe occasionally.  The put out one album and toured twice in 1989 and 1993.   It's big band Las Vegas revue style show. Performing their own songs and choice covers.

This is not my recording.  I got this in a CDRs for cassettes trade from someone calling themselves Turtle Music in the early aughts.  I've been on a cassette digitizing kick lately and I saw this Pleasure Barons soundboard from 1989 in the box and I pulled it out and put it in the to be transferred pile.

Months later I went to play it and the tape broke off the spindle.  I opened it up and discovered that the tape leader had just broken off of the spindle thank goodness.  So I carefully reconnected the tape back to the spindle and it played perfectly.  Sound is really nice too.  

It's just labeled as a SBD but it feels a little more produced than just a board feed.  I can't find any information about this show online.    In the middle there is a skit with Country Dick performing a wedding ceremony between Mojo and an unknown lucky lady.  It sounds like it's from TV based on the bummer at the end and then there is part of an interview with Mojo.  Then it is back to the show.

I was working on this when I heard the news that Mojo had passed.  I was just going to split it up for myself since someone had already posted it to the LMA.  That one wasn't tracked out properly so i figured what the hell I might as well post it too.  RIP Mojo.

Mojo Nixon @ LODO Music Fest, Denver CO, 2000-07-07

Any chance I get to see Mojo Nixon I take it.  This time back in 2000 it was at the AT&T LODO Music Fest.  It was a fest that ran in downtown Denver for about 10 years.  Mostly I didn't care all that much about the fairly mainstream line ups but in 2000 the had Mojo and Southern Culture on the Skids.  It was  must see.

The year before Mojo had played at the Lion's Lair.   
Posted here - Mojo Nixon at the Lion's Lair -
So I was excited to see him again even if it was in a big parking lot instead of a small club.

While I was waiting for Mojo to go on I was wondering around the park lot and saw Mojo in the crowd.  He was walking across the the asphalt in front of all the stages when I saw him and called out to him.  I welcomed him to Denver and he asked if we had seen him at the Lion's Lair the summer before.

I told him that I had indeed seen that show and was excited to see him preform again that night.  He then says "Some crazy fool posted that Lion's Lair show online complete with a track called "Mojo Takes A Shit" ".  I asked him if he was OK with that and he said "I don't care I'm not some asshole like Metallica!"

Then I told him that I was the person that recorded that show and showed him my recording gear.  He smiled and said that it was cool.  Then he asked me if I had any drugs.  I was not holding so we wished each other well and away he went.

Mojo was in fine form on this night and holds nothing back.  The recording sounds really nice too I think.  Fun to re-visit this one.  Enjoy.

Mojo Nixon @ The Lion's Lair, April 13th & 14th, 2012

Mojo Nixon doesn't tour any more at all so it was a special treat to have him return to Denver Colorado and play not one but two shows.  He didn't have a band with him but solo Mojo was pretty fun.

The crowd was full of Mojo fanatics that knew all the songs so they sang along and yelled out requests the whole night.  So crack open a beer and try and conjure up what you imagine Colfax smells like and you will be in the right frame of mind to check out these recordings.

Mojo Nixon @ The Lion's Lair, 1999-08-26

I saw Mojo Nixon again not long after this show when he played at the now long gone LODO music fest.  He was walking across the the asphalt in front of all the stages when I saw him and called out to him.  We welcomed him to Denver and he asked if we had seen him at the Lion's Lair the summer before.

I told him that I had indeed seen that show and was excited to she him preform again that night.  He then says "Some crazy fool posted that Lion's Lair show online complete with a track called "Mojo Takes A Shit" ".  I asked him if he was OK with that and he said "I don't care I'm not some asshole like Metallica!"

Then I told him that I was the person that recorded the show and showed him my recording gear.  He smiled and said that it was cool.  Then he asked me if I had any drugs.  I was not holding so we wished each other well and away he went.

The recording today is from that Lion's Lair show and as alluded to earlier he indeed leaves the stage mid song to go take a shit.  If any of you have ever been to the Lion's Lair before you know that the bathroom isn't a pretty site.  There is no door on the stall and it can't have been very clean.

Mojo ever the professional came right back to the stage after a few minutes and picked up right where he left off.  This was one of the funnest shows that I have ever seen.

This show was one of the very first things I ever had posted back in the early days of high speed internet.  I traded it out on CDR to several people and one of them that ran a Mojo Nixon fan page had it on his site.  This is a new fresh transfer from the original minidiscs and knowing what I know now I think it is a big improvement.
