I've wondered about the "medleys" (hell no/sign, buttholeville/trooper) myself but i have no clue how that works other than to say that Patterson sings lead on both and he seems to have his ways of signaling the band that are not easy for the uninitiated to pick up. From what I can tell the middle ...

I remember the night Levon passed away, the band was playing at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. They had the lyrics to The Weight attached to a few monitors (if I recall, they traded verses). Tracy & I were at that show. And no, it wasn't me who tried to snatch the lyrics lol (not sure why anyone wou...

Also I noticed there was a sheet taped to Patterson’s monitor during set up at Thalia, not saying it was a set list but the roadie was awfully quick to flip it over while setting up. 1. There's zero chance it was a setlist. 2. Usually when there's a sheet taped to the monitors it's lyrics to a new ...

I'm guessing soundchecks. But that's just a guess (though a somewhat educated one).

One of the most important websites on the internet is finally back!

Agreed on both points. I just wish he'd play some of his other great songs he doesn't play all the time.

We are thinking the same thing. What is the downside of the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach? I've never been there.

Thanks, Tim

It's a nice enough venue. Beer is pricey and security can be a bit overzealous at times.

I think we're going to try to slip down to that Myrtle Beach show on the 12th even though I'm not a fan of Myrtle Beach or that House of Blues venue. The Wheels of Soul Tour is hitting Raleigh the next night but I'm pretty sure we're going to skip that one.

Looking at this setlist reminded me that Cooley has so many great songs that he never plays. I was thinking the other day about how many of his BTCD songs that he seems to have just totally left behind. And that's just one record. Cooley seems to have settled into a small batch of songs that he rot...

Patterson introduced this song the other night in Philly as "our little Fuck You to Hank Jr." I don't think I've heard about a Hank Jr connection to this song before. Anyone know what's up with this? Sidenote: It's kinda hard to believe that I started this thread about 8 years ago. :shock: He intro...

I listened to the stream through my home system, sounded great. Thanks for all that made that possible. I was a little disappointed when they went into "Hell No" because they were on fire and I didn't want it to end!

"Bummers"? I'd have liked to have heard Jay better. From audience right, his guitar was a rumor, and his keyboards were inaudible. I hope they balance that in the house mix tonight. (Standing right in front of the vocal monitor surely did not help!) One of the few (only?) downsides of being upfront...

Wow. When I got to Norfolk Tyler told me they had soundchecked it earlier. Wondered if they were eventually gonna work it in somewhere

I try to self-enforce a rule to not listen to recordings of new songs, so that the first time I experience them is either live or on record. But goddamned if I don't want to hear a new Cooley song this evening. I'm pretty lucky, the first time I heard it was live. Liked it immediately. After listen...

Anyone get a setlist for the Norva show? This is the best I can do for a setlist. Only the first 2 & last song are in proper order. I'm 95% sure this is everything they played. If you were there last night & I missed a song please let me know. The NorVa 3/25/18 Filthy & Fried The Righteous Path Gra...

Some general thoughts from the Wilmington, NC show last night: 1. I didn't keep a setlist but I saw at least 2 people recording the show & I'm hoping Tyler kept one. 2. The early curfew kept the show to right at 2 hours but the band definitely took advantage of the time they had. 3. Highlights for m...

Anyone get a setlist?

... a little info - there are 2 Irish Pubs within walking distance. Dubliner (haven't been there so I don't know about food) and The Harp (good food) Best Seafood, not real close by but worth the drive, is Fish Bites on Carolina Beach Road, small place, go early or there will be a line. Has fresh l...

Wow, I had no idea they still booked and played venues of that size.

If I had to choose, I'd be hanging with Hud. He's got the positive karma. Too much negativity (not to mention rain and wind and cold) swirling around Brett.

You know me, Captain Negativity.

For what it's worth my worry isn't the rain itself, it's the fact it might get postponed or we'll get a much shortened set due to the weather.

Hud wrote:the forecast has been changing daily, can’t wait, rain or shine

It has. And it keeps getting worse. Latest forecast as of 5 minutes ago is 100% chance of rain from early evening which should amount to a 0.5" of rain.

Coming from the guy who missed Homecoming because he tripped over his dog. You still using the walker? They going to allow that at the NorVa?

NOT looking good. Currently 90% chance of rain saturday eve, with possible thunderstorms - and again, temps in the low 50s/mid 40s. Absolutely totally sucks. If they postpone this near showtime I'm going to be fucked. I need 24 hours notice to cancel the hotel. The promoter posted on Facebook that ...

HIGH of 54° and overcast.

March in NC is a strange time for an outdoor show. It can be 75 and gorgeous, or 35 and freezing, or anywhere in between. Nonetheless we'll be there...though we might be wearing mittens

Hud wrote:I know 2 previous years sold out (because I had friends that didn't get in), maybe more, seems they don't seem out until close to show date.
Can't wait!

Wow, I didn't realize that. I was at one of those, the Sept 2014 show, and I didn't know (or had forgotten) that it was sold out.

Just saw this show sold out, I don't think any of their previous gigs at the Greenfield Lake Amphitheater have sold out.

Who's in for this?

Tickets purchased and rooms booked for these shows in a few weeks. Hopefully I'll make it through these shows without getting dropped by a virus...unlike fucking Homecoming
