Oh yeah, Great Divide. Great little bar. Anyone remember my roomates Jim and Robin who tended bar there. Robin left to work the Playboy club as a bunny.

I saw many shows there having first gotten to know Chuck when he was bartending at Tulagi’s in Boulder and later doing the booking (he hired my band). If he saw me in line he’d pull me out and take me in, even inviting me to John Prine’s birthday party. Some of my favorites were Climax Blues Band (amazing), David Bromberg, Curtis Mayfield, Commander Cody, John Prine, Steve Goodman, Frampton’s Camel along with Street Corner Symphony-incredible accapella (does anyone know who they were or where they came from?) and many I simply can’t remember, for some reason…hmm. I do remember that little bar on Colfax too but I can’t think of it’s name. I stood outside and listened to Country Joe & the Fish there (couldn’t afford a ticket that night) and saw the New Riders of the Purple Sage another night. Copped a buzz in the men’s room with Marmaduke. He had the hash and I had a pipe. Cool. Anyone remember Denver Dog from a few years earlier? Mucho fun too.

wow. this is a blast from the musical past. i loved this club. it had all the intimacy of the clubs in greenwich village without the nyc attitude. maybe the best thing about it was its accessibility. at the time i was probably pulling down a whopping eighty bucks a week but i could still afford to spend an evening there occasionally. my favorite memories: the late, great Steve Goodman… I was surprised at how small he was cuz his records had a huge sound; jazz pianist, singer and stylist Mose Allison… the crowd was a little thin for this gig… I don’t think jazz was particularly popular in denver at the time… I asked Mose to play one of my favorite songs from his Mose Alive album, and he very graciously sat down and performed about half the songs on the album, damned nice of him. Loudon Wainright was also pretty accessible, and in the course of conversation we discovered that we actually spent our childhood summers on the same east coast beach… probably walked by each other a hundred times wading in and out of the surf, and wound up meeting a thousand miles from any ocean… too funny.

thanks for the memory!

Just to be precise, Ebbets Field wasn’t in the Brooks Tower (which is on 15th St.) it was in the Executive Tower at 14th and Curtis (1405 Curtis). I didn’t get to CO until 1974, but I still have amazing memories from Ebbets…Warren Zevon (who was so out of control sloshed at those shows that Ahmet Ertegun sent Jackson Browne to Denver to reign him in), Stephen Stills solo in a benefit for Dick Lamm, having breakfast at 3 am with the Flying Burrito Brothers in the dive coffee shop next door…ah the good ol days,

Greatest venue in the world. I’d like to have more recordings from the shows.

I worked at Ebbets Field and was Chuck’s roommate, on Holly Street, for awhile. Just roommates. On my first night working there, John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, played. I worked the front door with John Patterson and had a hard time, not watching the band. John kept telling me to keep my mind on taking the money. HAHAHA!!!!! I love the good old days.
It was a shame when the BOYS from upstairs took over the club. It went down hill from there.

I was a waitress with Teri at the Great Divide…good times isn’t even the word…our tips were in the bathroom! Then the jerk bought it and changed it all together….Ebbots was great, and so was the theatre in the round where Joplin played…those were the days…………….

Does anyone recall the other music place on Cofax that was a small burger/beer (3.2) place. I remember it was well east of Broadway and had some great acts there such as Louden Wainwrigth, David Bromberg and Poco who I met out back before their set. I was a bartender back in those days at the Great Divide Saloon on So Broadway. Good times.
