1992

This is a digitization of a master cassette tape of a FM broadcast.  The source is most likely a syndicated radio show, perhaps a Westwood One "In Concert" show....but it does not have the pre-recorded announcer, it just has the local San Francisco disk jockey.

02.  Happy Birthday To Me
03.  This Is Cracker Soul
04.  Mr. Wrong
05.  Lonesome Johnny Blues

Cracker / Ogden Theatre, Denver, CO May 18, 1996

Okay...while Silent Way is on a well deserved vacation, I'll try and fill the gap as best I can.

So...first up is a syndicated radio broadcast.  I don't see other copies of this on the Internet, which is surprising, as syndicated shows had such a wide distribution.

I've seen a set list for an audience tape with two additional songs at the end of the show. The missing songs are "One Of Us" and "Anything, Anything."

The band was touring in support of their album The Golden Age, released on April 2, 1996.

Original drummer Charlie Quintana had left the band to tour  with Joan Osborne, with the drummer's chair being filled by  Johnny Hott from House of Freaks. The band was augmented by new member Kenny Margolis on keyboards (although he doesn't seem to be turned up in the mix on this recording).

David Lowery - guitar
John Hickman - guitar
Bob Rupe - bass
Johhny Hott - drums
Kenny Margolis - keyboards

Remember...if you find this of interest, you're probably going to LOVE the album that this tour was supporting:  THE GOLDEN AGE.   The album was re-released in 2011 is available on Amazon.  Support the artists and BUY THEIR ALBUMS if you like these live shows.

Golden Age spun off another hit with "I Hate My Generation," and the band toured in support of its release. After returning home from the road, Lowery began focusing on his Richmond-based recording studio, Sound of Music, where he produced such artists as Joan Osborne, Lauren Hoffman, Magnet, Fighting Gravity, and Sparklehorse. He also co-produced the Counting Crows along with former Camper Van Beethoven producer Dennis Herring. Lowery's work wasn't limited to the music world, however, as he co-starred in director Eric Drilling's independent film River Red (also composing the film's score) and appeared in another film, director Matt Leutwyler's This Space Between Us. By the end of the decade, Cracker seemed to have settled on a somewhat permanent lineup comprised of drummer Frank Funaro, keyboardist/accordion player Kenny Margolis, and the preexisting core of Lowery, Hickman, and Rupe. This version of the band issued 1998's Gentleman's Blues, a more reflective album that saw the musicians paying homage to Southern rock and blues. Camper Van Beethoven unexpectedly re-formed shortly thereafter, and Lowery began splitting his time between both bands, whose other members frequently joined whichever group was on the road. Cracker (along with select musicians from CVB) issued a live album, 2001's Traveling Apothecary Show & Revue, and Cracker followed its release with Forever (2002) and a rowdy set of country covers called Countrysides in 2003. The latter album also marked Cracker's first effort as an independent band, as they had recently left the Virgin roster. Three years later, Cracker returned (this time via the U.K.-based indie label Cooking Vinyl) with Greenland, which featured help from guest artists David Immerglück and Mark Linkous. Another concert release, Berlin (Live in Berlin December 2006), arrived in 2008, and the studio effort Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey followed one year later in 2009.
