Lucius: An Intimate Acoustic Show, March 10th, 2018, Boulder Theater

82-og

One of the top shows of the year so far!  From start to finish Lucius and they’re band were completely inspired.  There wasn’t a drop off at any time in their vocals, the instrumentation or the sound.  Here’s some pretty good recordings from the show.  I think my favorite from the night was True Love Will Find You In The End (Daniel Johnson cover) into “Two Of Us On The Road”.  Check out Daniel Johnson’s Story (wiki) on this link and here’s the Daniel Johnson web page.

Shovels and Rope, March 9, 2018, Boulder Theater

Although the sound wasn’t perfect the show was very close to being perfect.  They’re acoustic guitar had an awful “buzz” the entire show but we (Morgan Young) and I still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Shovels and Rope have a new album out “Busted Jukebox Vol. 2”.  Gonna go and get it on vinyl @ Bart’s in Boulder.  It features one of my favorite female vocalist, Nicole Atkins, a GIRLIE artist.

Connor Oberst, Boulder Theater, July 1st, 2017

OK, so my head is still attached to my body but it almost exploded last night with the joy of seeing Connor Oberst at his absolute best. I love the way Connor writes songs and I was especially impressed with his 2016 album “Ruminations“.  A simple album of Connor with his piano, guitar and harmonica.  Ruminations is full of emotion just like the show at the Boulder Theater.  He has an exceptional supporting band that rocked Boulder all night long.  Here’s some of my favorites from the show…

Four Winds (so happy he played this one)

10 Women

Till St. Dymphna Kicks Us Out (from Ruminations)

Something Vague

Poison Oak

A Little Uncanny (Ruminations)

Encore, Train (Trump Rant) Roosevelt
