I never thought I would see a Roller Derby at the Fillmore.  The Fillmore is one of my favorite places to see a band in Denver and the ladies having the Derbys there could relly help the sport grow in Denver.

On 6Feb2010 the Sugar Kill Gang defeated Dooms Daisies. I shot hundreds of images but this was the first time shooting a roller derby, but hopefully not my last. It’s hard to have a favorite team, but you gotta have someone to root for.

Go to a match, drink some beer, and have some fun!

If you’re going to a Roller Derby, then a party bus is the only way to do it.

Two nights with Ween at the Filmore should never be taken too lightly. You walk in refreshed and charged and you walk out completely exhausted.

This time was no different, though I will admit that Wednesday night was not the best show that Ween ever put on. It was a good show, and they played tunes that they rarely play live, which is fantastic. They just did not seem to be at the top of their game.

Thursday night with Ween was an epic event. I don’t recall ever seeing a better show. I thought the second show in Boulder a few years back was the best show I had seen, Last night took that top spot for me. I am not saying I have seen a lot of Ween shows, but I have to say this was the best one yet. The set list seemed to be a Top 40 of their most popular songs, and they were executed with utter mastery. They get better each year. Perhaps I appreciate them more, but they never rest on their laurels. They bust ass out on that stage for three hours a night. They played a few new songs mixed in with some solid favorites like Piss up a Rope and Gabriel as well as Scrape the Mucas from My Brain. Last night they showed the world they’re not joking about this rock music thing. We could expect to see these guys on the rock scene for years to come.
