Rocket From The Crypt @ Seven South, Denver CO, 1995-09-29

 

Today is post 665 on the way to post 666.  Here we have audio of the mighty Rocket From The Crypt live at Seven South (now the Hi Dive) in Denver Colorado on September 29th 1995.  Almost 30 years ago!!  This show was right before Scream Dracula Scream came out.  Arguable the height of their powers.  Look at the setlist.

Audio today was provided by my long time friend Jim Hucks.  He shot a ton of high quality video in the 90s and 00s.  Often with a board mix feed too.  That is what this is.  Sounds pretty good to me.  I only did some minor tweaks and edits too the file he sent me.

You can see Jim's up-close by the stage video of this show here.

Besides and amazing setlist Speedo has a lot to say and the banter is pretty funny.  Enjoy.

Rocket From The Crypt & The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Denver CO, 2001-04-24

 

2001 was a really banner year for me going to shows.  I saw a ton of stuff and recorded most of it.  This week in April of 2001 was a good one.  I saw 16 Horsepower in Boulder on the 27th and right before that show I caught this amazing Rocket From The Crypt / The (International) Noise Conspiracy show. That was a hell of a week for some live music.

To this day I think this is the best RFTC setlist I have ever seen performed.  The band was at the top of their game around then and firing on all cylinders.   They open with Middle/69 and close with an encore of the A side of State Of The Art is on Fire!!!   Ton of great songs in-between.

Also on the bill was Dennis Lyxzen new band The (International) Noise Conspiracy.  Which he formed right after The Refused broke up in 1998.  Really great stuff.

The Explosion was also on the bill but I don't have a recording and no recollection of them so it is possible I missed them.

Rocket From The Crypt @ The Starlight, Ft Collins CO, 2001-07-18

 

I was thinking about Rocket From the Crypt recently.  I read that they were having a special Halloween show in San Diego this year.  Some kind of 3D spooktacular.   No doubt it was a super fun event.  I miss seeing them live so that they are still getting out and playing does my heart good.

It got me to thinking about they times that I have seen them and which recording I have shared.  I remembered that I have never posted this 2001 set from The Startlight in Fort Collins Colorado.

It was a hot, hot, July night and John Reis mentions that fact multiple times and about how the crowds bad body odor is affecting the the tuning of their guitars and the sound of the amps.  He recommends that one gentleman in the crowd "meets my friend soap".   It was mostly jokes but I'm sure it was rip in that place that night.

John also mentioned that it was their first time in town but I have a RFTC recording from a show in Ft Collins from way back in 1993.

Wretch Like Me and Bill the Welder opened up for this show.  

Sound pretty good I think.  Nice clear vocals and nothing is blown out.  Enjoy.

Rocket From The Crypt @ Summit Music Hall, Denver CO 2016-05-21

Been seeing these guys live for 20 years now.  Still kicking ass.  John was extra chatty at this show for some reason.  It was a rowdy Saturday night.  Good times.

RFTC was selling a hand stamped 7" with a new song on it at this show.  So maybe we will get to hear some more new music in the future.  I would love that.  Been a long long time since Live From Camp X-Ray.

Enjoy

Rocket From The Crypt @ Riot Fest, Byers CO, 2013-09-21

It's been a decade since I last got to see Rocket From The Crypt and I sure have missed seeing them.  Sure their were some heavy hitters on the Riot Fest bill but RFTC being on it convinced me that I had to go.

They still sound great and they played a nice mix of material across their career.  Enjoy.

Rocket From The Crypt @ The Gothic, Englewood, CO 2003-03-15

Little did I know that this would be the last time I would see Rocket From The Crypt.  At the time I remember being kind of disappointed after the show.  It was good but I had seen them a bunch of times before and thought that those had been better shows.  Maybe they were but listening back to this after almost 10 year I really enjoyed it and would love to see that same set again. They did play my favorite song "Born in 69" so I shouldn't have been all that bummed.

This got traded out on a limited basis back in the CDR trading days but this is a fresh transfer and remaster.
Check it out and enjoy
