I believe it depends if it's an "all ages" show.

Already listened to the more times than Star Wars. No misses on Side One.

This will play well in the stripped down, live setting.

You can drink anywhere you want.

Not always. Last Lucero show had no drinking on the floor.

The press still have a soft spot for Cosby?

After about a dozen spins, I'm quite partial to Side Two. The music leans towards the alt-country side of the band's resume.

Non-east coast DBT fans are in for a treat.

Some really great songwriting with a three guitar attack and a killer rhythm section. Sound familiar? OK, no keyboards.

Does this count towards my bucket list songs?

Luke slacking on the setlist.

Got my chrome cast fixed just in time.

Solid tape. Thank you.

Figured that would be pretty hot.

Damn.

SoCAl here I come.

I'm in. Nice lineup and great venue.

Looks like THS may be added to the Toronto Turf Festival. Good looking lineup with DBT etc.

Pretty flat room with low ceilings. Sound is average. Nowhere near a pristine theater show. Decent bar.

Baggage. Just listen.

Doors @ ??

Tickets say 8:00
Venue says 9:00.

Edited: actually that's three delinquents and one nice young lady.

I resemble that remark.

In for Monday. Great venue.

In with an old high school buddy who will be seeing the boys for the first time.
