Reverend Beat-Man, @ Three Kings, Denver CO, 2009-07-11

 

This show was my first time catching Reverend Beat-Man.  He is a performer from Switzerland who started as a solo act but has expanded that on occasion as he did with his group Monsters and when he toured and recorded with Nicole Izobel García.  He plays a primitive blues rock with some occasional crazy lyrics.

Reverend Beat-Man also runs Voodoo Rhythm Records since 1992 and puts out his own records and other "misfits" as he says.  Great label.  If you enjoy this go check it out and give him some money.

This show was part of ONE - The Denver International One-Man-Band Fest.  Put on by then Denver musician Alex Hebert who brought in one person acts from all over the US and the world back in 2009 for this amazing show.  The other acts included Magic Cyclops, Lady Uno, Mosquito Bandito, Delany Davidson, Limbs, Tom Vandenavond, Reverend Deadeye,Two Tears, & Honkyfinger.  

I've thought about presenting the entire fest worth of recordings on here but it is a project that I keep putting on the back burner.  I figured I would at least get up the Reverend Beat-Man set after all these years.

If you ever get a chance to see the good Reverend don't pass up the change.  Guy is one of a kind.

System Of A Down @ Fillmore, Denver CO, 2000-01-29

 

Here is another old one.  System Of A Down headlining the 2000 Sno Core tour stop in Denver at the Fillmore.  I mostly went to see Mr. Bungle but I was a SOAD fan.  I had first caught them back in 98 as part of a tour with Slayer and Clutch.  By 2000 they were on their way but not really big rock stars yet.

My memory of this show is pretty hazy being that it was 22 year ago.  I don't recall what happened but at some point Damon the guitarist must have gotten up on the crowd because he starts to complain about someone having taken one of this shoes.  After Darts he and some other band members try to compel the crowd to return the shoe with offers of shirts and weed.  I'm not sure if he ever got it back because at the very end he is still asking to get his shoe back.  He says it was his only pair.  It was January in Colorado too so he surely did need it. 

I also didn't recall that this was filmed for MTV2 and aired with some interview footage minus a few songs.  I never saw it back then or even recall hearing about it but there must have been signs up saying they were filming.  It's easy to find on Youtube if you want to check it out.

I'm sure I traded this out on CDR back then.  This is a fresh transfer from the master.  Newly adjusted, tracked and tagged.  I consider this an upgrade to the original CDR sources out there.  It's a bit muddy but the vocals are pretty clear.  The Fillmore has never sounded amazing.  Enjoy.

Primus @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 1999-07-02

 

Here is one from way back.  23 years ago.  Primus was still touring behind the Brown Album and was part of Ozzfest in the summer of 1999.  Ozzfest didn't come to Denver this year  so on this off night Primus was flown in for this Ogden show.  Les talks about it the middle of one of the songs.

The setlist is stacked full of bangers and as a special treat Buckethead comes out and joins them during two songs.  This was a few months before their new album Antipop came out but they play the title track on this night as well.   

At this show Denver gothic country band Slim Cessna's Auto Club opened up.  And boy did they not get a warm welcome from the Primus crowd.  SCAC didn't care and played on.  I think I will post up their set from this night next.

I hadn't listened to this one in a long time.  I forget what a good job those CSB mics did with the oud stuff.  My audio manipulation skills have come a long way since 1999 too.  So if you have this from the CDR trading days consider this an upgrade.

Supersuckers, The Big Show, Denver CO, 2004-04-30

 

So for my 500th post on ThatsTheThingAboutThat I wanted to post something special.  I named this blog after a Supersucker's song on 1995 album  'The Sacrilicious Sounds Of The Supersuckers', 'The Thing About That'.  I added the 'Thats' to the beginning.   So it seems appropriate to post a show by the Supersuckers for the 500th post.

When I started getting into trying to record shows it was bands like the Supersuckers that I wanted to capture.  I was a huge fan and wouldn't miss a show.  My 2nd outing to record a show ever was a 1999 Supersuckers show.  It's posted on here if you want to here it.  So in my arc of this hobby Supersuckers are a very important band.  I saw them a ton of times.  When they would play Denver, Boulder, Ft Collins I would go to every show.  They also were very taper friendly and I got multiple guest lists spots and board access.  

They are still at it today.  Eddie is only original member left but the current line up with Marty Chandler and Chris Von Streicher has been going strong for 10 years now.  Eddie is a lifer.  Glad to see him still out there getting after it taking The Greatest Rock N Roll Band in the World all around the world.

This show was from the start of their run of Big Show tours in 2004.  They had no opening act and just played a giant set.  Starting with Eddie solo and then a country set, Eddie solo again, and then a full rock set.  This show clocks in at almost 2 1/2 hours.   Great song selection, great covers, band at the height of their powers I would say.   They came back later in October of 2004 to play some more "big shows".  I might post one of those at another time.  A couple of those are on the LMA already.

This was a great soundboard mix with just enough audience in there that it isn't a sterile bore.  I've posted this on the LMA as well if you want to stream it.   Enjoy.

Royal Thunder @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2019-06-14

 

Royal Thunder is a fantastic metal / hard rock band out of Atlanta.  All three of their albums are worth a listen.  For this show they were in Denver as part of the Electric Funeral Fest IV.  That fest was always a blast.  It went on hiatus right before the pandemic hit.  Maybe it will return someday.

Nice sound on this one I think.  Enjoy.

Split Lip Rayfield @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 2006-09-01

 

I posted the Bluebird Denver show from the last 2006 tour that Kirk Rundstrom did in Split Lip Rayfield awhile back.  But for some unknown reason I never posted this show from the day before.  I think out of the two this one from the Fox Theatre in Boulder sounds the best.

At this show their walk on music was Megadeth's "Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!".  A fitting intro since they were killing it on this tour.  They don't get called Thrashgrass for nothing.  Enjoy

Earthless @ HQ, Denver CO, 2022-04-09

 

After getting delayed from earlier in the year Earthless made it to Denver in April to melt our faces.  They were touring behind their new album 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons' which had come out in January of 2022.

The setlist is that album front to back with an encore of a song from 70s Japanese psychedelic rock band Speed, Glue & Shinki.  Rad light show for this as well.  Always a treat to see Earthless.

Enjoy.
