Re: Asheville, 8/17 & 8/18
Didn't they play "Shut up" and "3 dimes down"both nights? Yep, "Zip City", "Where The Devil Don't Stay", "3 Dimes Down" and "Shut Up and Get on the Plane" were the only repeats that I remember, may have been more, but the second half of ni...

Re: DBT at Floydfest!!
I was there............I got there late though and missed Gary Clark Jr. and was totally pissed about that. I've been wanting to see him but the drive up the parkway took longer than I thought, plus the shuttle buses......should have left way earlier but I also figured the festival would be running ...

Of the six rock shows I've seen, they closed with "Angels and Fuselage" 3 times. Just got my first "World of Hurt" in Asheville in June though.

Re: Patterson's Goldtop Les Paul Deluxe
The big difference between the two that I would note is the pickups. The Gold top has mini-humbuckers and the SG obviously has full sized humbuckers. The will produce a difference in the sound. The mini's are apt to be a bit thinner in comparison.

I try to keep track of the songs I've heard live........nerdy perhaps but I'm like that.... I've seen 6 rock shows and 1 record store show and no "Living Bubba" yet. I find that a bit odd. Also don't think I've heard "Heathens" live. Just got my first performance of "My Swee...

Re: Go Go Boots at the Six Month Mark
A band like DBT doesn't put out "filler". That's subjective though isn't it? I mean, define "filler"? Most artists probably don't put out "filler". Or at least they think they don't. It's the fans who hang this tag on the least favorite songs. A song that one person mi...

Re: Anybody have the 2004 ACL Festival DVD?
Thanks for the reply.........but what I'm asking is if anybody has the official dvd? There's a dvd on Amazon from this festival and it contains 1 or 2 songs by a number of artists, including DBT. Just wondering if anybody's seen it or has it and what songs DBT plays on the dvd.

Re: Go Go Boots at the Six Month Mark
I agree 100%. The opportunity for something very special was there, but they just missed on this one. Stripped down with a lot of pedal steel would have been my choice, but others would disagree I'm sure. The album overall ranks in the bottom 1/3 of DBT records. Both this one and The Big To-Do have...

Re: 3 guitar magic
Lynyrd Skynyrd is probably the most well known 3 guitar band. The thing with them is, when they played live, all their guitar parts were worked out in advance. Each solo was played basically the same every time with very little improvisation. Not so with the Truckers.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am constantly amazed by how, within the DBT fanbase, one person's pleasure is another person's poison. I love that aspect of it and I think it illustrates perfectly why they are as good a band as they are. That being said, ranking Patterson as the third ...

Re: Guitar that Isbell played in "The Secret To A Happy Endi
That's the one. Thanks alot. I always wondered what that was. I heard Jason had a deal with First Act a while back.
I never knew that about their Custom Shop. I always associated the name with, like you said, the cheap Walmart guitars.

I love THE SONG "Pulaski", but I don't care for the arrangement. I heard live recordings of Cooley doing this on acoustic as far back as 2001 and I liked those versions much more than the one on Go Go Boots. Still a great song. Yeah, I feel the same. In fact, I find myself liking each new...

Does anybody know what kind of guitar Isbell is seen playing on alot of the live footage in "A Secret To A Happy Ending"? It's got a Firebird style body shape, and mini-humbuckers like a Firebird, but it's not. It doesn't have a pickguard that I can see or the reverse style headstock that ...

Really enjoying this album, although I guess we could all come up with at least half a dozen songs that didnt make the cut that we feel could improve it. For me "Let there be rock" just sounds ridiculously out of place on this album, that song is Spinal Tap-esque in its "rawk" a...

Thanks for the story of the song, its pretty interesting given that it is outside of their usual writing process. Hopefully they will put it back into rotation, it is a great rock song. I am sure its been said before but I wish that Cooley would mix up his song rotation a little bit more. He's got ...

Patterson himself has stated that the ACL performance was, at least at the time, his favorite filmed performance of the band.

I know this is an old post but I noticed last night that everything Jason played was in standard and then capoed up if necessary. He even plays his slide solos in standard now. I am sure he tuned down a step in the truckers because Hood has to do that for his voice to have more range. It doesn't ma...

Very interesting read about the recording of "Aftermath USA". I always thought it sounded like the Faces. Some of the Black Crowes stuff sounds ALOT like the Faces too. I didn't realize "Greenville To Baton Rouge" had been absent that long. That's a shame. For me, the best finale...
