7-8 classics, wouldn't refer to the rest as "clunkers"... Elephant is killer, followed closely by Cover Me Up. Super 8 is a good rockin' mood lightener, really like the song. Not everything has to be so darn dark and serious (isn't that what Rock and Roll should help you forget about somet...

Aside -> Since Jason left the Truckers, he has released 5 CD's worth of music (including Southeastern); the Truckers only 4 (including a B-Side release)... I liked the Jason DBT era the best, but his leaving has given us so much more good music. Love it. yr forgetting the truckers acl live cd so it...

A buddy of mine managed to get a copy of the complete CD over the weekend at one of those local Record / CD shows, artwork and all. I don't want to spoil it for everyone (in a good way), so I won't. After two listens, I love it. Most songs have more musical accompaniment than just acoustic guitar. T...

I might wear a bow tie.. I've never seen the Truckers without an opener, I wonder if they'll play a bit longer as a reult. Different era, but... Caught them in '04 at the Recher (RIP) in Baltimore. Doors opened at 7. Not much fun standing around for 3 hours waiting for the show to start, but the 30...

Sloane,
Thanks again / always for the nice work.
Did Slobberbone get recorded?
Thanks!

I'm not there, but my trusty assistant Guillaume is passing along updates, so I figured I'd post them for y'all, eh?

Big Tom, you ROCK!
Thank you for your service...

I got it.

Nice!

Another great show from the boys. Enjoyed the show from the balcony rail, smack dab in front of Cooley. Speaking of which, Cooley seems to be going "pickless" about half the time now. Has this been more prevalent recently with his solo shows? Sounded good either way, though not always as &...

I'm a big Old 97's fan (as well as the DBT's)...

Was curious of the "first timers" impression of the Old 97's...?

Can't wait for the Baltimore show!

Is this the one where you can hear Jason professing his love for Shonna...?
Yelling about how he is gonna marry that girl?

Thanks Slip and Flying Rabbit for the venue / balcony info.

Yeah, losing the Recher is gonna suck... RIP.

Anyone know about the Balcony situation at Ram's Head Live?
Is it comparable to the balcony at the 930 Club?
I usually prefer it (less jostling)...
Thanks!

Quick work, Sloan, much appreciated as always...

I thought "co-headliner" meant both bands play for roughly the same amount of time. I know when I saw the McMurtry/Isbell doubleheader at the Lincoln in Raleigh last year, that was the case. The DBT / Lucinda Williams show in May at Merriweather was a co-headline bill. Both played for abo...

I nearly cried when I saw they were playing the Wellmont on the same night that I already have tickets for the Allmans at the Beacon. Fortunately I now have a reason for my first visit to the legendary Capitol Theatre. Tickets ordered today! That's where I'm at too. Already have the Allman tickets ...

Would really like to hear these shows...
Maybe tweet Jason or email his website for permission to put up on etree or something. Couldn't hurt to ask.
Seems you did the "honorable" thing by sitting on these until after the taping ban has sorta been lifted (or so it seems)...

Looking forward to the Baltimore Rock Show. Love me some Old 97's... Ought to be fun, co-headline or not. For what it's worth, the Ram's Head webpage lists the show as a DBT show with the Old 97's... Yet the Old 97's site says this... The Old 97′s and Drive-By Truckers will co-headline three shows ...

the news about a proper re-issue is great! when/where did Hood say this? i knew there was that message on the website about it being reissued eventually, but i was thinking that was just something they said a couple of years ago and that wouldn't actually happen. so this, proper reissue, Wes Freed ...

Pretty sure most on this board keep up with Jason's solo material.

Sorry if this has been suggested before, but how about doing some of Jason's songs for SOTW?? I wouldn't suggest all of them, but maybe the more prominent ones... Maybe this will tide us over until the new rekkid comes out.

Many thanks from those of us "bitches" that are too old / busy / lazy to tough it out for all 3 nights...

I think Cooley is using a little of the phrasing / pacing from his recent solo shows in the rock shows now... lyrics seem a bit sped up (compared to the music)... But what do I know!?!?! I noticed that as well. He's been doing the "Willie Nelson phrasing" for a couple years now. That's a ...

No, you misunderstood. Zip City is one of my favorite DBT songs. I just felt that the night one version was a bit off. But like I said, I'm picky. Sorry, couldn't resist. Its all good. May be my favorite Cooley song (Uncle Frank a close second)... I think Cooley is using a little of the phrasing / ...
