The Dwarves @ Lion's Lair, Denver CO, 2004-11-20

 

I had a request for a trade for this show recently.  I hadn't listened to it since I recorded it probably.  I had it listed as being at the Bluebird, but upon listening it sure didn't sound like the Bluebird.  Then I did a little search and found this Khun poster and remembered that this was another Dwarves Lion's Lair show.

The Dwarves are releasing a new "concept" album soon.  If the songs are about, drugs, sex, and how great Blag / The Dwarves are then it doesn't sound like much a a departure from any of their other albums.  This new one is supposed to have songs from multiple musical genres.  I'm looking forward to hearing it.

They are also opening up for Bad Religion at the big Mission Ballroom in Denver tonight.  I'm tempted to go but I'm not sure that is going to happen.  Would be a fun show no doubt.

Sound is pretty decent and there is a lot of crowd interaction right up front.  The setlist is chock full of the hits too.  Fun night from what I can recall about it almost 20 year out.  Enjoy.

The Dwarves @ Lions Lair, Denver CO, 2000-06-13

I just finished reading Vadge Moore's book "My Life With The Dwarves: How I Drank, Fought & F**ked My Way Around The World" not long ago.  Got me thinking about all the times I saw the Dwarves.  Vadge doesn't talk about this specific show in his book but the Lions Lair is mentioned.  Along with lots of crazy antics and good stories.

I saw the Dwarves multiple times at the Lion's Lair but looking through my archive I guess I only recorded them this one time.  The above flyer and photos are from different nights then this recording.  The photos are within a year or two of my recording.  They do a good job of illustrating what the Lion's Lair layout used to look like when the stage was right behind the bar.  

The show and this recording are rough around the edges for sure so it is what it is.  Fun enough listen I think.  I had this on my CDR trade list back in the day so I may have traded it out some.  This is a fresh transfer from the master.  Newly cleaned up and tracked and tagged.  Enjoy.
