Fu Manchu @ Bluebird Theatre, Denver CO, 2002-02-05

 


Fu Manchu is a band I have seen a bunch of times over the years starting in the 90s.  They are still at it too.  Started in 1990 that is a hell of a run.  In fact they have a new double album coming out next week.  Love to see the longevity.  

This show was for the California Crossing album tour and we get a bunch of songs of of that and some old classics.  Scott Hill complains about having to play so quite later in their set.  Probably after the sound guy scolded them for turning up.  At the time the Bluebird didn't have great sound abatement and had nearby neighbors that loved to complain.  They would even call and say it was too loud when a show wasn't going on.  The Bluebird got hit with some noise ordinance violations and had to stay at 100db.   Pretty quiet.    They weren't happy but I think this sounds pretty good.  Maybe the best of my handful of Fu recordings.  Enjoy.

Fu Manchu @ Streets Of London, Denver CO, 2018-05-18





I'm sure I probably first heard Fu Manchu like a lot of people.  Man's Ruin releases at the height of that "stoner rock" scene.  So many great bands were birthed from the time.

Caught them live many times back then but it has been more than a decade at least since I have seen them live.  They still sounded as great as ever.  Fun to see them in such a small place like Streets of London.  I'm loving seeing shows there. 

They upped the PA for these shows and I think this sounds really nice for a small club recording.  There was a super fan up front requesting some oldies.  We got treated to the rarely played 'Time Tp Fly' and 'Superbird'.  Enjoy
