2005-10-22 Thee Shams

Recording #117

Big show at the Triple Rock Social Club in Mpls MN.  Black Diamond Heavies, Thee Shams, The Immortal Lee County Killers.  All headliners.

Thinking back, after this tour all three bands either broke up or changed lineups.  This is my 10th and final time seeing Thee Shams.

Thee Shams

01 Not Gonna Make It
02 Something Happening
03 Everflowing Tune
04 San Martine Des Morrelle
05 Love Grows & Grows
06 Lonely One
07 S.S. Nowhere
08 No Trust Fund Blues

I shot the final song of Thee Shams set with Mark Porkchop Holder joining in on harp.  No Trust Fund Blues.  No clue why I didn't get video of the entire set or any of ILCK.

Here's the complete audio of Thee Shams.  Note that Chet of ILCK joins in the 3rd song Everlasting Tune. (at 6:55)

Recording #11

I used to get to Chicago occasionally for work, and could often schedule a trip to include a show.  On This trip, I was able to see Thee Shams at the Abbey Pub.  My brother Peter came along and you'll hear a little of our conversation between songs on the recording (sorry about that).

Here's a poster I took from the club.

Here's Thee Shams and my first videotaped show.

Recording #2
I saw Thee Shams open for the Black Keys the day before this in Omaha NE.  I introduced myself to Zach and told him I enjoyed his set.  I asked him if he minded if I recorded their shows in Iowa City and Minneapolis.  He didn't care.  I told him I'd bring a video camera to Minnespolis and try to film the show too.

Here's the audio from Iowa City 2003-10-30
