Another free concert in Steamboat Springs! I must admit, I’m not a Los Lonely Boys fan. I just don’t like the “Texican” sound I guess. I try to record everything I can in Steamboat Springs mainly for archival purposes. Somebody always asks enthusiastically “Did you tape that show?!” and I like to make that person happy.
I was quite surprised with the turnout. Despite a wet, soggy, muddy, Howelsen Hill many came from the baseball games and condos to come see them. It was quite odd to me.. It seemed as if every kid in on every triple crown team was singing along, knowing all of the lyrics.
The sound system was a bit muddy and there was a pretty awful humm coming through it the entire performance. It was not the same rig they have been using so far this season. I hope they get the go back to the other one, the recordings sound much better with it.
You can download a flac copy of the recording via bittorrent or you can grab ipod ready mp3s from the LMA.

When I heard from Joe Kboudi that MoFro was coming to play the Steamboat Springs free concert series, I was stoked! This guy reminds me of when I was a Florida redneck hagging out at the fish camp with my buddy Darren in Bellview about 20 minutes from Lochloosa, JJ Grey’s hometown.
The show at Howelsen was kickin and the recording sounds awesome! You can obtain a copy of it in high quality flac format via bittorrent thanks to cotapers.org. If you prefer to listen now streaming or grab a mp3 copy for your ipod check out the concerts entry on archive.org.
As usual I plan on recording as many of these free concerts as I can for your listening pleasure. I hope you enjoy.
Here is a track for my podcasters.

If you happen to have read the post I made after the Wailers concert you will remember the “NO BEER” issue with somebody putting the incorrect date on an application or something. Well it turns out Nancy Kramer went to the Steamboat Springs city council asking for a donation and, THEY GAVE HER 10 GRAND! The article in the pilot quoted Nancy.
“We have taken action,” Kramer said. “We won’t be making that mistake again.”
Alright, Well that’s good to know. I mean someone fucked up on the beer. Somebody must pay. So who gives away money? hmm, taxpayers! The paper mentions Loui at least said something.
“After all, it really wasn’t our fault,” Councilman Loui Antonucci said.
Why did this happen? If the Free “Summer Concert Series” officials “won’t be making that mistake again” is that not saying they are the ones that screwed up? So I ask, “Who screwed up on the beer? Who gets the money?” I hope it is not one in the same.
It’s frustrating to me that we were deprived beer and then had to pay for it anyway. Hell even the non-drinkers that pay taxes flipped cash over on this one.
