Re: Best DBT show you ever caught

Really, when I think about it, the shows that stand out the most for me had smaller crowds. I think that really makes a difference. When I have the space to spread out and really get into the music, I can fully appreciate DBT. I have difficulty picking an absolute favorite; however, the show at Ham...

Re: DBT Tracks #43 - Love Like This

Smarty,
My wife and I have often said that we'd have this song played at our wedding if we got married today...not at the church service, but at the reception! We'd probably join arms with all of our friends and have a sing-a-long!

Re: Cooley Song

So did I regain some street-credit with the accurate prediction? Not to toot my own horn, but as I stood (trembling in my pre-show anticipation) on Friday night and head Cooley's song, I thought to myself, "Damn, I called that!" I'm a huge music afficianado, but I have never heard of the B...

I don't know if I have seen Cooley play the harmonica before! After Brad Morgan gave the drum a final bang and walked off stage, I kind of felt like I ...

So, I was working last night...server in a five-star restaurant, Sea Island, GA. A real classy joint. And one of my tables told me they were from Athens. So, of course the conversation led to DBT. They plan on being in Asheville for the first night. How fucking crazy is that?? I was in a similar si...

Thanks for the updated number. Indeed, I was dumbass who put the number in my phone, but I have now updated it. Gosh, I thought this was such a friendly board. You mean you wouldn't have driven me to my hotel room had I called you?????????? See you next weekend!

Re: Memphis Roll Call - Saturday, May 1, 2010

I just saw this topic and enjoyed the videos posted; they take me back in time (like the DeLorean with the flux capaciter). Although the sets aren't nearly as long, I always enjoy seeing DBT outside which I've done in Richmond, Charlotesville, Hampden-Sydney, and Memphis. I was at this show years ag...

Re: Asheville, 8/17 & 8/18

Lone Wolf, Thanks for pointing out the price. I feel pretty dense. I was looking at a rate of $178 and thinking it was per night, but it was for both Friday and Saturday. I guess I won't get the award for the brightest new member on this discussion board!!!!!

I checked the Downtown Inn and Suites, and I couldn't find anything less than $180. Maybe I just remember Ashville hotels being cheaper than they were. My memories of the last trip to Ashville are a little foggy anyway. I have heard that the Sleep Inn and Quality Inn have reasonable rates, so I may ...

I bought tickets last week. I have looked at hotels, but I can't find anything inexpensive around the venue.
