I’m gonna be adding the torrents to my recordings of ski jam here.
when ski jam is over I may come blogging but for now I just want to get these seeds out.
Ski jam Day 1
South Austin Jug Band 2008-01-11 torrent
Drew Emmitt Band 2008-01-11 torrent
First night has a damed chatty audience.. hopefully skijam fans will start to focus on the concert and not the conversation. IMO the bands failed to engage the audience.
Ski jam Day 2
New Monsoon 2008-01-12 torrent
North Mississippi All-Stars 2008-01-12 torrent
Recordings sound much better the second day. The bands were ripping and the tent was packed. A totally different feel from the previous evening.
Ski jam Day 3
The Dirty Dozen Brass Band 2008-01-13 torrent
Honkytonk Homeslice 2008-01-13 torrent
Solid performance from The Dirty Dozen with a very tight sound and some Mardi Gras flair. A great recording with some very nice audience participation. Honkytonk Homeslice.. well.. was better than last year.
Ski jam Day 4
Back Door Slam 2008-01-14 torrent
Tea Leaf Green 2008-01-14 torrent
Oh yea the day of Ski Jam that I have been waiting for, Back Door Slam and Tea Leaf Green! The tent was a bit empty at the beginning of the evening then Back Door Slam surprised everyone with some sick blues. Tea Leaf Green fallowed up with some sick ass jams.
Here are a few of my highlights.

Here are some torrents of the rocking show last week at the Steamboat Mountain Theater.
Agent Orange 2007-12-13 torrent
And a track for the podcast, a new song by the Amputators.
Well it has been a long week for me. After the Amputators on last Saturday I went to see Clutch in Boulder and drove home after with Burnt. Fun time but somewhere I picked up a bug and have been blowing snot all week. It sucks. Today it will be one week that I’ve been ill and I’m sick of it. I know, I know.. I missed the final free summer concert of the series. FYI besides my illness I got the the blowoff from Roberto the manager for Pato. I wasn’t allowed to tape anyway.
Heres a couple tracks from the Amputators at the Steamboat Mountain Theater. I’m pimping these tracks on my podcast because this is the shit in my head for the last week. I wouldn’t listen too often.. given enough booze, it could happen to you.

Amputators - Conjugal Visit [5:13m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (62)Over the weekend I got the hell out of Steamboat Springs and drove to Denver for something a little bit loudy. The Jet Car Nationals and the “last” String Cheese Incident Performance. Very different experiences for sure. I’m going to come back and blog about it but for now here is a photo.

and one more

I have been singing along with this youtube for like 5 replays..
Well, Jesus will be here
Be here soon
he’s gonna cover us up with leaves
With a blanket from the moon
With a promise and a vow
And a lullaby for my brow
Jesus gonna be here
Be here soon

Sam Bush and Band came through Steamboat Springs on Wednesday and lit up the hill with some awesome mandolin. It seemed everyone in town got a groove on for the performance. I had a great time.
However, I had a few beers and lost my jedi taper edge. I failed to notice some guy that was howling like a banshee on a roller coaster for the last twenty minutes. So he got away with it.. without the traditional duct tape ball chuck and evil look to shut him up. None the less he will now be known to all the listeners of this recording. It’s quite distinct, so if you recognize this howl at another Steamboat Springs live performance, please do your part and thank him from all of us.
Download a copy of the show via bittorrent and let me know what ya think.

The Amputators are a green band in the area that I had the pleasure of recording while they practiced. I enjoyed this group of guys mainly because they don’t play dead covers or bluegrass like most locals. They instead rock, not giving a shit what you think about them. The main goal of this band is to have fun, and having witnessed The Amputators perform some of there limb ripping metal I can tell you this. They are having some fucking fun. If you get the chance to see them play please do some heavy drinking before you go. I think they play the mountain theater on the 18th at like 6:00pm, quite early for head banging, so get loaded early.
