I didn't really get this. The guy was tethered. Doesn't that take the whole daredevil, superhuman angle away ?
I know he was really high, but he was gonna be ok.

Terrible news. Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, and many others called on Duck over the years. Of course, he was also in the best soul band of all time, IMO.
Tom Petty said Duck was one of the best musicians he ever met.
He was certainly one of the greatest.

I am not a Kiss fan at all. However, I have always loved "Strutter" and I can't get enough of the DBT cover.

This was one of the first DBT tunes that really grabbed my attention. Part of that may have had something to do with the fact that I grew up about 80 miles from Pulaski. It definitely has a Tom T. vibe about it. I have always interpreted the "nose bleed" line as a cocaine reference. The re...

Terrible news. I was planning on seeing him in May at the Ryman. I have seen him 4 times over the last few years and the first show was the best concert I have ever witnessed. It was about 2007 at the Ryman. It was a few years before the Ryman show that has since been released and shown on PBS. That...

Patterson pointed out, and some of you probably saw that Mr. David Hood was in attendance on Saturday. I am not sure if anyone else saw this, but during the encore break he was standing at the bottom of the steps beside the stage waving a white towel around. He was going wild right along with the re...

Last night was only my third DBT show so I don't have the extensive history some of you do, but I enjoyed the show. I didn't think it was as good as the Saturday Nashville show a couple months ago, but it was still a great time. For some reason, I found "Goode's Field Road" to be particula...

A top 5 would be really hard to come up with. However, "Fort Worth Blues" would be at the top of the list for me.
Levon Helm's cover of "The Mountain" is among my favorite covers ever.

gordon lightfoot i walk away like a movie star who gets burned in a three way script That song tears me apart every single time I hear it. "I never thought I could act this way, and I've got to say that I just don't get it.'" That is great stuff. I have been listening to....Todd Snider's ...

DIY is really strong, but "When The Pin Hits The Shell" is ,to me, the most moving and powerful DBT song of them all. ("The Living Bubba" being a solid second). I think Cooley's vocal is as strong as anything he has done. When I first heard the song I kinda interpreted the title ...

I love this tune. The guitar solo sounds like it could have been straight out of a Grateful Dead song. Good stuff.

Another newbie. I have no idea why it took me so long to get into this band. I am from the Mcnairy/Hardin county Tennessee area, which of course the Truckers have written about, and which is right up the road from the Florence / Shoals area. I love Levon Helm, John Prine, Warren Zevon, and all kinds...
