This was a 5-Night stand at Steamboat in ‘96. Sold out every night. We filmed the last three shows to compile the video. Ian was a pleasure to work with and I was honored to be chosen to direct this film. We had a four camera team and virtually every cut was original the night of the show, probably about a half dozen B-Roll edits in post-production. All performances every night were great and was one of the best times in my personal creative career. So good to see this film having a life on RUclips. Thanks for posting.
We went to see Ian in the early 90s at Trees in Dallas. The bar had lost their liquor license for some reason and nobody really was there. He came out and said he was going to do the show anyway. We pulled our table right up in front of the stage and he completely rocked the house for two hours. Phenomenal musician and band.
superb,,bravo....Ian moore underated and didnt get the recognition he dezervd...excellent song writer!////great cover in his prime ....tons of women at his shows.
I went to about 25 of his shows back in the day. Whether it was a large concert hall or a small bar he set that place on fire everytime. And yes, I remember the ladies. Ian had them all eating out of his hand.
I saw him at the Mucky Duck in Houston in '07. Got his last copy of this show and he signed it. Very gracious. He opened for Robin Trower just prior to CCP virus. Just killed it.
Mega Ton Thank you, They signed my cd at Tower on Guadeloupe , I was at Steamboat on 6th a many times, Ian played at my little hole in the wall, (Carbondale, CO) at Steve's Guitars. Still love him and Austin in early 90's. peace.
@@dafunk39 Yup. And he burned a bridge with Capricorn Records which is a major label. You get blacklisted for that kind of shit. He was set before that though. Well on his way. He was opening up for big acts like the Rolling Stones. I'll never understand why he did it. I'm from Texas so he was kind of a hometown hero to me. I was certain he'd be as big a name as Hendrix or Stevie Ray. I went to 5 or 6 shows after the change. I liked some of the new stuff, but overall it just wasn't on the same level. I knew it was the end of an era.
@@ZekeMan62 Thanks for the info. I always wondered what happened to him. I chalked it up to his genre change because I didn’t like what he was putting out after his self titled recording. I bought that disc simply because of the cover pic and it’s still in rotation on my music player. Practically a perfect album.
@@dafunk39 "I bought that disc simply because of the cover pic..." Same. I was still in the military and was rummaging through a bargain bin in some mom & pop record store in Washington D.C. when I came across the disc. I had never heard of Ian before, but something about the way he looked sitting on top of that Blackface Super Reverb amplifier made me take notice. He had the vibe of a serious musician. So I bought it. It's one of my favorite albums to this day. The music, the lyrics, the vocals, the way it was arranged, produced, and recorded... it's perfect in every way. A rare masterpiece. I never tire of it. Take care my friend.
Thank you so much for posting this! I had a VHS copy gifted to me by my brother in law back when they first circulated them, but it eventually was destroyed. I searched for years for a decent copy but could never score. Even tried contacting them through their website ... finding this really made my week! Now my children have a way of enjoying it as well. What a great performance -
Steve Prater my pleasure. I did this for a friend of mine who had a copy after I had bought a tape to digital transfer device. Glad you found it and enjoy it.
Epic years thanks for posting this. Ian was really coming into his own with his writing and singing. Love that Today is on here. What was the date of this show?
This show was on June 4, 1996. I was there, right in front of Ian. I have all of the pics that I took of Ian, Michael, Bukka, and Chris tucked away in my scrapbook, where I had written "Steamboat, June 4, 1996 on the page.
@@mistymoidel5948 super cool! I never was sober enough in those days to manage a camera without losing it. Those pics and memories must be incredible. I have seen many an Ian show spanning TX/NM from '!92 all the way to just a few years back. Hope he comes this way again soon
He's really good, even though he slept with my girlfriend back in early 90s. But I don't care for the cliche SRV riffs. Stevie took the old Blues cats riffs and made them his own, but they really weren't. Also, there's some riffs you just shouldn't do anymore, at least I don't, especially after Free Bird.
No, he didn't. "Modern Day Folklore" was released in 1995. He released "Strange Days" in 2017. Still plays gigs to this day. www.songkick.com/artists/217155-ian-moore/calendar
What???? Then I guess Ive seen his ghost 7 times since. LMAO. No, Ian is very much alive. He "symbolically' stuck his head in an oven one night after he released the album that got him dropped from Capricorn Records. But the oven wasn't gas, its was electric.
hallelujah! somebody else realizes that. He could've been Joe Bonamassa big, but nope... he went all kum bye yah and was never heard from again. Such a waste of talent.

I was in the front row standing directly in front of Ian (my friend since 1993) that night! I have the set list from that show in my scrapbook.
Best shows I ever saw were Ian Moore Band mid-90s shows. Absolute killers.
He's still incredible live. His current band is excellent.
Yeah but not as good as that one. I was at Steamboat for this show. Such an awesome night.
What happened to Ians brother, that used to sing in the band Breedlove? Any clue? His brother had some major vocal cords.
Amazing stuff, criminally underrated and his band were excellent!
Not sure how this slipped under the radar back then but he’s got a heap of new fans in Sydney Australia as of last week✌🏻
This is the band I saw back in the mid 90s. Completely epic!! Ian is so underrated!
Bad ass Ian!
So fkn awesome! Nice reminder of how good we had it here back in the day.

I watched this on VHS over a thousand times, magical!

Saw this tour in Lubbock, Tx. The Tea Pary opened for them. Both were amazing.
Steamboat... then there was bocktobergest.... hung out with him
I saw him at the Mucky Duck in Houston in '07. Got his last copy of this show and he signed it. Very gracious. He opened for Robin Trower just prior to CCP virus. Just killed it.
I saw this tour in Vancouver, Canada.... the best!!..brings back so many great memories!!
Mega Ton Thank you, They signed my cd at Tower on Guadeloupe , I was at Steamboat on 6th a many times, Ian played at my little hole in the wall, (Carbondale, CO) at Steve's Guitars. Still love him and Austin in early 90's. peace.
So glad someone recorded this, and so well to boot
This music is insane. Thanks Brett Papa for the introduction!
Saw these guys at Mammoth Lakes two days ago. It was utterly amazing! Ian shreds on the guitar.
He's still doing this stuff? I thought he went the folk singer route? I'be into seeing him again.
What an amazing guitar player and band.
This was at the Steamboat on 6th St in Austin, not Colorado.
Very glad to see this! Early Ian Moore is great. I didn’t like his style change later on
He should be so famous.
He would have been, but...
@@ZekeMan62 But he changed genres.

Phillip sayce told me about Ian . Phillip is also a great guitar player. He spoke highly of ian
Wow

Absolutely perfect. Never understood why Ian turned his back on this material for long, wanted to become Jeff Buckley or something.
Thank you for posting this show.
What happened to the sound? IT started great and then went down in volume. Great show, Ian is one fo my favorites.
Wow!! Thank you SOOOO much for sharing!!!
Amazing person
Saw him at center stage in Atlanta with Gov. Mule
Me too!❤

Best song at 1:15
And apparently Steamboat is no more....

P.s. Insulting D. B. Washers .😮😢
Sadly, Ian committed suicide shortly after the release of "Modern Day Folklore."
No, he didn't. "Modern Day Folklore" was released in 1995. He released "Strange Days" in 2017. Still plays gigs to this day.
