Not to point fingers (okay, to point fingers), but that's post 326 for you in just over three weeks. Pot=kettle?

I'm not sure that was the best set list for a Spanish show. Um..What would you have played for almost 3 hours? Julio Iglesias songs? Maybe you and Zip City should start consulting for the band so they quit wasting all these wonderful opportunities. Pretty sure that was satire. (hoping it was at lea...

Drum Roll please ................................ Just hooked up with a girlfriend of mine that designs costumes and we are designing my costume for Richmond!!!!!!! Ah so excited about this!!!! Halloween and DBT!!!! uh oh....lol......i might need to come just to see this.... I will give you a hint ...

This is a missed opportunity so far, IMO. Too much new stuff. You have a huge captive audience of potentially new fans, don't start your short set with 6 new ones in a row! EDIT: Now seven songs without anything from SRO, DD or TDS. Potentially new fans don't know the old shit, and don't care as lo...

It's an all new set!

Hmm... The 90s pretty much sucked musically most of the way through from my POV. Danko is a really good song if the words mean something to you and you like to sing along. Otherwise, it's like come on, let's get going! John Henry is fun and manages to tie the individual story with issues about the c...

This thread has descended into crazy talk.

There is just too much imagery from the Iraq / Pakistan war for this to not be about that IMHO. Saving everybody and setting the world at ease seems like a reference to the U.S. taking on the role of policeman of the world. And phrases to somebody's cause, God's hand on the trigger, judging other p...

it's a cooley song, so it's indirect. here's my take. it's kind of a counter-point to lookout mountain. he's on edge and jittery, thinking about killing himself tonight and weighing some pros and cons. thank god mama's not around anymore to witness this. he doesn't really give a fuck about himself, ...

This sucks, but I'm sure it was necessary as it would be way too much hassle to do otherwise, and he can always come back on as Frank Rizzo and totally fuck with everyone's heads.

Best sustained run of not-badness?

Sorry, if there is already a thread on this somewhere, but what are some great career closing songs, by which I mean some apparent career capping song on their last proper studio album? ideally, a self-aware song commenting on it all, but not necessary. marley - redemption song replacements - all sh...

dylan had a run of greatness in the 60s and another in the mid-seventies, and a decent run the past ten years. springsteen had 70s maybe to mid-80s for greatness. REM ran low on juice at document with some leftovers to offer up, then one more album five years later with automatic and mixed results o...

Fun year so far.

DBT a few times
Lucero
Alejandro Escovedo
Wilco
My Morning Jacket
Flogging Molly
Taj Mahal
Costello
some others...and regretting some good shows that I had to skip for one reason or another...

This week is John Hiatt, Delbert McClinton, Sharon Jones, Isbell & Levon Helm.

I also submit that the DBT/Bettye LaVette album is far inferior to her "I've Got My Own Hell to Raise" album. Definitely disagree on this one. Hell to Raise to me is like a decent tribute album with several songs that are less than the originals - feels forced maybe due to the whole woman...
