They came on at 9:15, played until 11:53, with about a 20 minute intermission between sets.

Getting excited about this weekend, wife and I are going to the Saturday show. I know we have some Asheville locals on here, what are some good restaurant recommendations for the area? I'm not local but I recommend Burial for beer and Sunny Point Cafe for food. http://www.sunnypointcafe.com http://...

Does Tracy know you have a fiancé

Not yet but I plan on breaking it to her slowly.

We're probably going. I'm not a huge fan of festivals but I'll make an exception for the Dickinsons and DBT. It's not a festival- just three nights of three bands. There's a bike race through downtown during the day, and music at night. Bailey Park is pretty small, too. Just a bandstand at the end ...

I can simultaneously like the band and have issues with things the band does. I don't need to dote over them to prove that I like them That's why I asked. I rarely see you post anything that would suggest that you actually like the band let alone "dote" over them. The next time you do will probably...

Different strokes, etc. I haven't been happy with a lot of the arrangements post-Heat Lightning

I'm mostly serious...do you like the band at all? So many of your posts suggest that you don't really care for their output that much.

As I've said before, I think the current version of the band is the best ever so I'm a bit surprised by some of the views expressed here. I also think this is the best, most consistent lineup of the band ever. I'm also surprised that anyone thinks Babies in Cages is an "abomination"....that just bl...

I miss the peddle steel on certain songs. I was never a fan of them adding it to songs where it just didn't belong. The way it bogged down WWW made me want to pull my hair out. It was frustrating to listen to. That’s a great point. I actually don’t mind the peddle steel on some of the studio songs....

The lyrics to Perilous Night just kinda are what they are: a snapshot of a moment in history. I've come to expect a certain number of Patterson songs that are in this vein. What I really don't like is the arrangement. I wish they would douse the piano in gasoline and light a match. I don't find a s...

Wow, some strong takes here. Especially from a few who’ve openingly admitted that haven’t heard any of the new songs. I guess I’ve heard 6-7 of the songs in Lucas’s list above and I like them all. As far as Babies in Cages being an abomination...well, I guess I like abominations lol. Loved it at the...

I'd love to see the HC setlist look like this forever---this is when the hardcore fans have come from all over the continent and beyond. Mix it up crazy the first two nights and leave you knowing your face is gonna melt Saturday. You nailed it. This year was our 8th and it was my favorite. The incr...

Indeed you did! Thank you sir, much appreciated from those of us not on FB.

At the rate we're going we're gonna stop blaming Clams for everything. Let's slow our roll people.

That's a goddamn sacrilegious thing to say.

Hey Clams any way you can make those pics bigger? I can barely see them.

After last year's debacle my only goal coming into this year was to make it through all 4 nights, and I reached that goal with flying colors lol. Even some of the health issues I've been dealing with managed to minimize themselves in Athens. I've never been disappointed by a Homecoming and I certain...

I forgot to mention...I have to thank Clams (yes a thank you and not a shred of blaming) for watching over my daughter when Tracy & I "lost" her after Saturday's show. He's a good guy...even though he's from the part of PA that the rest of us PA natives barely acknowledge. We can now return to blam...

1. Thursday night 2. Saturday night 3. Friday night Splitting hairs, of course. Uniformly excellent performances. I spent a lot of time focusing on Matt's bass lines this weekend. Really cool stuff he's doing--very melodic and interesting ideas. I was also digging Patterson's lead guitar work, for ...

...as much as I love the surprise of hearing it I wish Margo & Harold could work it’s way into rotation. Couldn’t agree more, especially if it gets the same extended jam-out that it got last night They’ve really been extending some of the outro jams lately on songs they didn’t used to have extended...

Tonight was a motherfucker. I’ll probably have more thoughts later. But one thing is for sure...they ain’t fuckin’ around this weekend.

Quick thoughts on Night 1 (or 2 depending on how we’re counting lol): I honestly had no idea they played 29 songs last night until someone posted the set list. I can’t rank shows anymore but last night was special, not only for the breakouts but also all the breakups songs for Valentine’s Day, & the...

True. But it's always nice to get something you haven't heard in awhile or one you've never heard.

Agreed. That was the song that got me into DBT. I've seen DBT almost 50 times and I've only gotten it 4 times and not a single time since Homecoming 2014.

I guess it's about time for the rarely played back catalog songs we're hoping to get at HC (even if there's no chance) thread again. These are mine: 1. Nine Bullets 2. One of These Days 3. Zoloft 4. Do It Yourself 5. Daddy's Cup 6. Carl Perkins' Cadillac 7. The Buford Pusser Trilogy 8. A Blessing & ...

This may have been "Slow Ride Argument" which made it's debut last Spring.

If anyone got boned it's NC...only 2 shows on the far western side of the state? It takes a few hours to drive there. #boned
