Actually, come to think of it, I think I have a better recommendation if you are driving into town: check out spothero.com. I just did a quick search for availability to reserve a spot on Saturday, and a number of nearby options popped up. For example, Fulton West (just east of Ogden) is showing as ...

I have not parked in the area during the Goose Island festival before, but I live in the general area and my best suggestion, if you must drive, would be to approach from the west (from Western Avenue) and look for street parking on the east-west streets between Western and Damen. (use your normal c...

Beautiful night in downtown Chicago. DBT played about an hour and 20 minutes and sounded really good to my ears. I’m curious how it sounded further back; it’s quite an expansive place. Pavilion was maybe 2/3 full but lots more lawn dwellers watching from further back. Unusual place to see the band, ...

I have a size xl men's DBT Muscle Shoals 3/4 sleeve baseball style tee shirt that I would like to send to a good home as it does not fit and is not my style. (Received as a gift). Send me a PM with your address and I will mail it to you..if you'd like to make a corresponding Nuci's Space donation, t...

First song was "Flight 218 to Denver". Whole show was well-played but I thought Cooley especially nailed that opener.

Was that back to back premieres from Cooley and Patterson ("Ever South")? Stream sounds excellent.

Thanks, all! I'll have to revise my set list hopes and ask that they start slow tonight since I'm going to miss the beginning of the show . Enjoy the rock show!

In for tonight! Hoping for a good crowd - I thought the crowd at last year's incredible "Stones" Halloween show was a little disappointing. Does anyone have an educated guess on stage time for DBT tonight? Have weekend nights been different than weekdays? I'm coming solo following an 8:00 ...

On the Cooley tip I'd also be curious to know if this being more of a Cooley record has made a lot of folks' introduction to the DBT's more palatable as I know of more than a few people that have been turned off by Patterson's vocals in the past.[/quote] This is an interesting question. I've experie...

Steven Hyden's piece is up on the front page of Grantland (http://grantland.com/features/drive-by- ... -carry-on/) and it's better than my high expectations.

When I first saw the track list for English Oceans I was just terrified that Cooley had had enough of me being too loud at the rock show.

What a start to the show. Thanks so much for the stream! When He's Gone has really grown on me after thinking it was a low point on EO initially.

The posts about the stream this weekend have me jonesing to make an ideal "semi-realistic" setlist! I'm thinking along the lines of an English Oceans tour show. Grand Canyon (seems like it should be here or as a closer, and I have other preferences for show closers) Primer Coat Lookout Mou...

Didn't see Hearing Jimmy Loud on this thread so I jotted it down. Hearing Jimmy Loud Trapped in a truck with Jimmy listening to his band Jimmy’s out of place same as ashtrays and column shifts Said his last old lady nearly run him in the ground Half a gram later I was hearing Jimmy loud She had a ti...

Any chance Jimmy from Get Downtown is the Jimmy in Hearing Jimmy Loud? Like part two of the Jimmy saga? I thought the same thing. At least inasmuch as "Jimmy" is Cooley's go-to name to plug into his songs (I'm reminded of Cooley's comments about Pulaski being selected because of the sound...

I don't have my head around the album yet (it's certainly excellent, at the very least), but I have to point out a moment that makes me smile wide: When Patterson's vocal begins on The Part of Him, and he stretches his voice just a little bit - I just think it's a great vocal performance and gives a...

Slipkid: Yes, you've correctly interpreted the username. I've never been too creative at thinking these types of names up

If only I had known One of These Days at the time of the 9:30 club shows! One of my very favorite.

I haven't heard the album yet and couldn't be more excited. Primer Coat and Hearing Jimmy Loud sounded terrific and dense with unique Cooley turns of phrase. Likewise, Made Up English Oceans and First air of Autumn sounded brilliant and beautiful, respectively, on the acoustic versions from Cooleys ...

Hey everyone, I've been lurking for a couple years appreciating your fine community. I've never been much of a message board poster and I suppose you can guess what made me register this particular week. I saw DBT before i had much familiarity with the band. my first show was the 9:30 Club in DC whe...
