Steve Earle @ Boulder Theater, Boulder CO, 2004-01-20

 

Steve Earle really stretched out and gave us a hell of a show on this night.  Over 2 hours long with a bunch of the "hits" and some stories to go along with the songs. Certainly some of the current events he talks about back in 2004 are a bit dated but most of the stuff he is concerned are still issues.

This was recorded from front row in the balcony at the Boulder Theater and I think it sounds pretty good.  I was far enough away from the roaring crowd that there is very little chatter and when the crowd applauds after songs it's not blowing it out.  Sitting right above the bar below there is some bottles clinking.

I might have burned a few CDRs of this but I have never shared it digitally.  Enjoy.

Steve Earle @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 2002-03-07

I hadn't listened to this in years and years.  I had forgotten what an amazing show this was.  Steve solo for just over 2 hours.  It's a Steve Earle master class.

He starts off with a great story and then into the songs.  Quite the song selection for this night too.  So many great tunes.  He waxes poetic more than a few times giving context to many of the songs.  I believe that this might be the first public performance of John Walker's Blues.  Steve intros it by talking about how he wasn't going to play it.

Amazingly quite and respectful crowd.  I was about 10 feet back from the front this night.  You can barely hear anyone but Steve during his songs.   In-between songs the cheers were deafening.  I took some extra time to really crank down the dbs in those areas to make this a much more enjoyable listen.  Really proud of this capture.  Enjoy.

Steve Earle & The Dukes @ The Ogden, Denver, CO 2000-07-31

Here is an oldie but a goodie.  This was an amazing show that I attended 13 years ago.  My first time seeing Mr Steve Earle as well.  Had been a fan of his music for awhile so I recall I was excited to see this show.

Mr. Earle can be kind of long winded sometimes but not at this show.  Him and his hot shit band just plow through song after song.  They end the set with a set of choice covers.

I recorded this from a front row seat in the Ogden balcony so there isn't a lot a chatter from the crowd.
This is one of my favorite recordings that I have ever made.  Hope you dig it.
