The Ogden Theatre was sold-out for the 9th annual The Last Waltz Revisited concert last Wednesday. The Thanksgiving eve tradition is highly anticipated each year, and 2013 was no exception. Smiles abounded with warm hugs being exchanged and old friends reuniting as the venue filled up before the show. Hosted each year by Polytoxic members CR Gruver and Tori Pater, all in all more than 40 musicians graced the stage as they took part in the reenactment of one of the most famous concerts in Rock and Roll history.

A line of casually dressed baby boomers wrapped around the corner of 14th & Spruce Tuesday in anticipation of blues legend Buddy Guy at a near capacity Boulder Theater. It was Buddy’s second Colorado visit in three months and aside from swapping red rocks for salmon and turquoise walls, the show was quite a bit similar. It was night of beer drinking, gospel style audience affirmation, stories, and dirty overdriven blues.

Baby boomers slowly strolled into Red Rocks last Wednesday night for a co-headliner of classics with Buddy Guy & George Thorogood. It was a beautiful summer evening complete with a gorgeous Red Rocks sunset and in the end it was a great opportunity to see a Blues legend dazzle the crowd before a classic rock n’ roller went through the motions on the same stage.

In this day and age it’s not very often that you get to ride on a coal fired, steam powered train through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. It’s even less often that the train carries some of the best Blues and Zydeco acts in the country, each performing in their own vintage coach car. If this sounds like a dream to you that’s because it is, but one that has been realized through The Durango Blues Train and the folks who bring you The Telluride Blues & Brews Festival.

Nothing goes better with good southern barbeque than good southern music. Well, maybe whiskey too. But whiskey make you do funny thangs and in showman Robby Peoples case funny, awesome thangs. On a cold, drizzly night in Colorado, in a dimly lit, hot and sweaty dancehall at the back of a barbeque joint, Peoples and his band brought a little Mississippi heat and Listen Up Denver! was there to soak it up.

Polytoxic’s Annual Last Waltz Revisited is a Denver Thanksgiving tradition that was especially tasty this year. The Ogden was sold-out and filled with an energy that pulsed with love for the music of The Band on Thanksgiving Eve as four generations of audience members sang along to songs that have become ingrained in the fabric of our lives. Parents put their arms around their children, friends hugged each other in the middle of songs and people felt some of their favorite music in a way few get to experience.

Last Tuesday night blues-rocker Jonny Lang brought out blues fans from several generations to a standing-room only Boulder Theater. He succeeded, if only for two and a half hours, in tricking the Tuesday night crowd into thinking it was Friday. His guitar playing, vocals, and stage presence conveyed the highs and lows of the blues to everyone who had the pleasure of being there. It’s no wonder Lang has received the praise of colleagues and guitar legends like Eric Clapton, and also Buddy Guy.

On Thanksgiving Day in 1976, a coked-up film director who had just scored massive success with his films “Mean Streets” and “Taxi Driver,” stepped away from the cityscape of New York and traveled to the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco to train his lens on a band for the first time. Over the course of a nine-hour event, he helped to close one chapter of rock and roll, and to ultimately define every rock movie that ever followed.
