Dead Meadow @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2019-06-15

Denver Electric Funeral Festival is always a good time.  40 bands across 2 days and 3 venues.  Mostly metal and metal adjacent acts.  I always end up catching a band I have never seen before that I really enjoy.

Dead Meadow was one of those bands this year.  Really fantastic live band.  Enjoy

KMFDM @ Gothic Theater, Englewood, CO, 1991-05-21

Haven't posted anything from the Lantz archive for awhile.  Here is a fun one.  KMFDM live at the Gothic Theater back in May of 1991.  On tour for the Naïve album.  

Pretty sure this is the complete set.  A couple other shows from this era include Piggybank in the set.

Again pretty good quality n light of the source equipment.  Very listenable.  Had a good time working this out up to post.  Enjoy.

Slobberbone @ Duffy's Tavern, Lincoln NE, 2005-03-06

Thought I had lost this show forever due to a hard drive crash years ago.  Lost a bunch of recordings from 2005.  Found another big live Slobberbone collector online.  And when I contacted him initially he didn't have this show.  Fast forward a few months and he messaged me saying he had just received it in a trade and sent it too me.  Glad to have it back so I figured I would post it up.

This was billed as Slobberbone's last tour.  Band was calling it quits.  No Denver date so I drove to Nebraska to catch them one more time.  Was not disappointed it was a fantastic show.  Only bummer was Two Cow Garage were supposed to open up and couldn't make it.  Would have been my first time seeing them,    Plus side we got a nice long Slobberbone set.

This was recorded with the mic placed on top of a hanging pool table light.  I think it sounds pretty nice and the crowd isn't too chatty.  Enjoy.

Monolord @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2019-05-02

Caught some of their set at Psycho Vegas last year.  Chose to go watch All Pigs Must Die instead.
Too many bands not enough time. 

Was excited to catch a headlining set in Denver a few weeks back.  I think their records are fantastic but Monolord excel as a live band.  This is the best way to experience bands like this.  Smallish room, stoked crowd, loud PA blaring. 

Love seeing metal at the Hi Dive too.  Great room for it.  I think it sounds really good in there.
As a result this turned out really nice.  Enjoy

Big Business @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2019-04-24

I just love what these guys do.  They are a not to be missed band when the come through town.

Always fun to see a drummer setup sideways on the stage so you can really see them go to work.

This turned out really nice I think.  Enjoy.

Queens Of The Stone Age @ Ogden Theater, Denver CO, 1999-04-19

This is the 20th anniversary of the first time I recorded live audio at a concert.  I had been thinking about doing it for awhile.  I was way into live recordings and at this point I was buying a few of the unauthorized CDs that were floating around.  I had an website for trading CDRs and was starting to acquire a good collection.

I vaguely knew what it took to make recordings.  I had copies of a cassette with Slayer and Megadeth's sets from the Redrocks Clash of the Titans tour stop that my friends cousin had made. It was pretty rough but a fun listen. I though I could do a better job so it planted a little seed. 

Then years later I meet a guy at a Foo Fighters in 96 or 97 who I saw messing with his DAT tape deck.  He was a bit cagey but nice enough to answer some questions for me about his gear.  That really peaked my interest and I started looking into gear.

My first foray was a minidisc recorder and some small coresound binaural mics.   I did a few test runs at home but the first in the field run was at Smashing Pumpkins show with Queens of the Stone Age opening.

I botched the Pumpkins recording and don't think I'll be sharing that one but I managed to capture 99% of the Queens of The Stone Age set.

I hadn't listened to this recording for a long time and I recall it being way worse than it is.  My gear wasn't quite equipped to handle the loud volume of a big show like that so there is some clipping and distortion.   I've polished it up as much as I could and it's more than listenable. 

I figured it was a nice enough to share a a glimpse into where I started on this odd hobby.  It's been a fun 20 years and I have seen and recorded so many amazing things since then.  I have also met a ton of fantastic people over these years in relation to live music that I call friends to this day.

I don't get out and record nearly as much as in my heyday but I don't stopping anytime soon either.  It's become as much of an obsession as a hobby. 

So here is my first recording every.  Enjoy.

Cannibal Corpse @ Oriental Theater, Denver CO, 2019-03-01

Capital B Brutal death metal show on Friday.  Decibel Magazine's annual tour has a ridiculously stacked line up this year.  The Denver stop featured Blood Incantation, Necrot, Morbid Angel and the mighty Cannibal Corpse.  Hands down one of the very best meal packages I have ever seen.  Every band slayed.  So much fun.  Great crowd too.

I'm enjoying seeing shows at the Oriental lately.  They have really fixed it up and gave the sound system a much needed boast.  Great room. 

Go see live music.  Buy merch direct from the band and help keep art alive.
