Posted May 28, 2017 Siouxsie Sioux turned 60 yesterday! This is from 78 but might as well be the 80s, Siouxsie and the Banshees definitely influenced some trends and some huge bands like The Cure. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw The Pretenders, Gentle Giant, Dixie Dregs, Stanley Clarke, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band just to name a few that I saw there. I even played there I think it was 1985 in a band called Puppeteer opening up for Rough Cutt (Wendy Dio was their manager). I remember they called us in the afternoon asking us if we could do the show that nite. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just perspective. I recall the good times while insistently believing the future holds even better. Love it when people wonder why I have that stupid grin on my face. (hint: it is not from ruminating about a glorious past, but from enjoying the present and anticipating the wonders yet found) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahh..the 80's..spent most of it as a DJ at Shot Gun Willies,Dandy Dans,Uncle Grumpys (Boulder ) ,Cheerleaders and lastly, Saturdays. Played a lot of great music ,most of it were requests of songs played on MTV. Worked the day shift ( noon -7 ) ,which allowed tons of time to see concerts and attend Oyster events. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you were in your prime in the 80s, young and having fun then that is of course the era you get all mushy about. I don't care much for the year 2005 but I was in my 20s and having tons of fun so I will eventually look back fondly on what was like all others kind of an awkward time for fashion. Glory Days is catchy but 80s bolo tie wearing Bruce is not my favorite. He still wont ditch the bolo ties! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2017 This place opened in the early 50's but throughout the 80's it was a haunt for my circle of friends. I think it closed in the early 90's.................... http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/27795/photos 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 30, 2017 OK, any of you gushing old timers remember The Family Dog? That was Barry Fey's first venue and really a great dive to see good music in. I liked the Rainbow Music Hall, Tulagi's, Ebbetts Field, Red Rocks, all of them, but it all began in the Dog. Barry was my next-door-neighbor for a few years and the tales he told of the early days would curl your ears (they didn't make it into his book). And of course there was the legendary Bruce Springsteen 4-hour concert in the Glen Miller Ballroom at CU, where you could drink beer and dance right at the Boss's feet, just before he broke into the big time. Great show, Clarence was hot, hot, hot. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 1, 2017 I think it was at a JJ Cale show at the Rainbow around 1981. Between bands the line to the urinal was long, but some biker just strolled up to the sink and unloaded whilst cracking jokes. Saw the Ramones and the Runaways at Ebbets Field in 78 or 79. Tried to catch Cherry's eye but she was East coast cool. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2017 Memories! Ebbets Field - named after the famed Brooklyn Dodgers ballpark, was a small club in the early to late 70's located on 1020 15th street in Denver Colorado. It held 238 people which made for an intimate setting between performer and audience.The stage faced bleacher type seating which resembled seating at a sports venue. It was tiny; you could literally touch the band from the front row. My favorite venue of all time. Some of the performers I saw at there. Brian Auger & The Oblivion Express Freddie King May 27th 1974 Leo Kottke 1975 Kraftwerk May 20th 1975 Moby Grape May 8th 1974 Spirit: October 30th 1974 Sugerloaf: January 15th 1975 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(As they used to say - If you remember the '70's you weren't there) Love the 70's no better music in my own opinion! The 80's was a blur for me. Graduate high school, college, and first child during that decade. I had tons of cassettes Blondie, Foreigner, Men at Work, Asia, Toto, Rush...you name it. Shoe boxes full! Pink Floyd. Ohh but my heart belongs in the 70's! Yes!!! lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
