Good morning, all. Got all four nights and I can't wait to see all my Heathens buddies.

Damn right, roomie! Cannot wait!

I did get my tickets earlier, but just now went in and got someone else who needed a little assistance two each for Friday and Saturday. (Or, as they call it, Doing a Bubba . Or at least paying the many kindnesses I've received forward). What I THINK ( THINK! ) I might volunteer to do, perhaps with ...

First, the elephant in the room: Patterson tripped over/forgot the lyrics to several songs (but recovered each time). Those who weren't there will be giggling or snarky but for those in the room they were just very human moments caused by a guy trying to give his all, both by reaching for songs he ...

I know you will all be disappointed that I have no internet so have to use my phone which aint easy for me. So for now: fucking fantastic. Truly.

To paraphrase a great line from "Homicide: Life on the Streets", "If I can't be verbose with you people, who CAN I be verbose with?"

I would love a poster version because lord knows I don't need any more t-shirts. But if there's Cooley merch, you know I'm buying it.

One never has too many t-shirts; just not enough bureau drawers...and yeah: suckers, we are.

I, for one, am relieved to know that our brother, word man, has a career in fashion merchandise consulting on which to fall back if the concert reporting industry goes dry!

“May I show you to our fitting room?”

Gotta have a back-up plan these days.

Hope you're well, BD.

Was kinda funny to see Cooley working the merch table by himself. He looked a little stressed honestly, wearing his reading glasses, laying out his shirts, setting up an ipad, etc. Cooley and I joked about having reading glasses hanging off of every damn part of us. I think that was one of the reas...

Who among you, I say, is, as they say, "in". I say.

Long Island Show:

8>< ---- snipped

A tremendous, special night, on several fronts.

Now that is how a show write-up is down. Well done. Thank you for sharing the entire experience!

Thanks!

The original feels a little "meander-y" to me Loaded Gun? Meander-y?! That surprises me. The narrative seems tight to me, w/ nary an extraneous word and each image indelible. Ambiguous, yes, but in the best way. But we each hear what we hear and interpret what we hear in our own ways. Or as my moth...

And for some reason, it never occurred to me that the last line ("He's staring through his own taillights/gathering speed") might be that same old man looking back through his life, as more of it is gone than is to come. I was chest-punched by it last night. If you spent more time on 3dd you'd have...

Those are great. Hoping for some leftovers available for the rest of us!

There will need to be replenishment. Going like veritable hot cakes. 19 in Boston, 23 last night.

Any of you good folks headed out to Long Island to hear Cooley tomorrow night?

It's one of those "2.5 hours to the show through NYC traffic, and 45 minutes home afterwards". Worth it.

Stumbled upon this thread/post, and damn, it hurts... Sure does. And not just 'cause of Smitty. Lots of people i'd love to see back here, even occasionally, and some really good commentary. Plus one of the few old threads that didn't make me cringe when I look back at my contributions...Oh, Smitty,...

Sad news. Longtime DBT artist, confidant, brother in arms, and friend Wes Freed passed away unexpectedly today. Details and arrangements are pending. What a huge blow to the band and the extended Heathen family. On behalf of 3dd, our thoughts go out to Wes‘s family and the band. As more news emerge...

Monday, August 8, 2022 Drive-By Truckers, Patchogue Performing Arts Center Despite the seated show (Patterson, plaintively: "We're really sorry that we're SO far away from you!"), a terrific show, the "Welcome 2 Club XIII" songs completely integrated into the flow by now. As others have reported, "E...

We also have one extra ticket. Not cheap--$81.00--but front row, center. (And I'd rather have someone in the seat than the money).

Hit me up if you might be able to go. I am driving out from NYC and have space in the vehicle.

This was down, dirty and mean, aided mightily by some serious sax playing by the guy whose name I should know by now (apologies!) who does the sax part on "Every Famous Flameout."

Mr. Ben Hackett.

Anyone else headed out to the Isle of Long? I will be there. Let me know if you & your friends want to meet somewhere for dinner before the show. I've grabbed a couple of places that look decent: https://www.brickhousebrewery.com/ https://jamesjoyceny.com/menu/ https://cajunclawsrestaurant.com/ htt...

IN, seated show, front row center. Taking two friends to their first Rock Show (though both are huge music fans).

Anyone else headed out to the Isle of Long?

I think they lyrics are incredibly cheesy and weak and the music is so throwaway and "crunches" in a bad way. Just something I feel Patterson probably wrote in 5 minutes Perhaps that was the goal but it just doesn't work when surrounded by such excellent material in my opinion. Like, this is the fo...
