DBT dream ticket..

[fortbethel]

What would you consider to be a really truely GR8 double bill including DBT?

I'd like to see, 'My Morning Jacket' & DBT on tour together. It might be a little overwhelming though catching both GR8 acts the same night

[Bill in CT]

My dream bill is DBT touring with Neil Young & Crazy Horse. But since Neil appears to be done working with Crazy Horse (last shows were in March 2004), I doubt this will ever happen.
DBT and MMJ would be great too. I can guarantee Penny Lane and headhunter would be on the rail for those shows!

[Cubfan06]

DBT would have to gain more popularity to make it work, however in a dream scenario I would love to see Social Distortion open up for DBT.

[Kudzu Guillotine]

I had always wanted to see them opening for R.E.M. Guess I won't be seeing that now. I also missed out on the infamous Slobberbone/DBTs tours so that'd probably be second in the running. Thing is, Slobberbone hasn't played NC since reuniting a couple of years ago.

[UTHeathen]

For me it would be Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons and the DBT's. Still bummed I missed this line-up in the early 2000's.

[RevMatt]

Dream Ticket I Caught: DBT with Levon Helm at the Midnight Ramble
Dream Ticket I Missed: DBT with The Dexateens
Dream Ticket That Will Never Happen: Southern Steel or Loud Day opens for DBT
Dream Ticket I That Could Happen: Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit with DBT
Dream Ticket I Would Drive Across The Country to Catch: James McMurtry and DBT
Dream Ticket Where I Would Do The Wayne's World "We're Not Worthy": Steve Earle and DBT
Dream Ticket Ultimate: Bruce Springsteen and The East Street Band with Drive By Truckers

[Tyler]

DBT + James McMurtry w/ his full band, and give him a 90 minute set + encore.

Imagine James coming back out and trading verses with Patterson on Buttholeville or Putting People On The Moon. Or Cooley coming out during McMurtry's set and singing on Choctaw Bingo.

I might explode and I'd def hit every non-WED show on this tour

[gerg]

Just saw it, though both sets were too short.

GBV/DBT

yep, yep, yep, that's the one!!! i'd just have to take a leave of absence from my job & follow it to the end

[Iowan]

The Rock and Roll Means Well tour was probably my DBT dream ticket, and I missed it.

[Ty Webb]

I've seen a few:

DBT opening for Widespread Panic
Felice Brothers opening for DBT
John Bell opening for DBT
Booker T & the DBTs opening for DBT

What I'd really, really, really like to see is "An Evening with Drive By Truckers"

* Cooley solo set
* Patterson solo set
* DBT Rock Show

[Howlinwolf]

Hhmm..at this point in time, I would really dig seeing the Chris Robinson Brotherhood warm up DBT.
As long as they both got to play two hour sets

[rlipps]

As far as them opening for a legendary band, I got to see that with them & Petty. Missed the DBT/Slobberbone tour, but did get to see The Drams open for DBT, which was amazing. Have always wanted to see Glossary open for them, but never have made it to one of those shows.

Something that hasn't happened and I'd love to see would be a Mike Cooley/Chris Knight solo show with both playing acoustic sets. Two of my favorite songwriters ever, that would be something I'd travel a long way to witness.

I wish I had a time machine for you.

[bovine knievel]

Dream Ticket I Missed: DBT with Son Volt (2 nights at the Fillmore about 6 years ago; each band alternated as Headliner)

[Penny Lane]

i knew you were going to post that!

[Penny Lane]

i have no idea who Chris Knight is but he's ALWAYS on my Lucero/DBT Pandora Station...
after 5 songs it's all Chris Knight--I can't really get into him..

[Steve French]

Led Zeppelin and DBT. Led Zeppelin opening

[Clams]

All I know about him is don't ever - EVER - fuck with his brother Walter.

You and me both.

I don't even remember what I missed the show for, but I know it wasn't something I couldn't have worked around.

[Maluca3]

Close to DBT/MMJ, but DBT/Flaming Lips. The Dark and Light sides of life's complex coin; both confront how to persist with joy in the face of all the crazy fucked up shit life throws at you. Do You Realize/World of Hurt, anyone?

That being said, I count myself incredibly lucky to have seen several nights of the Rock and Roll Means Well tour. Those are both bands I would do serious road trips for no questions asked, two of my top three bands. Likewise Lucero/DBT, and Dexateens/DBT (without the two of top three part).

Yes, but the other brother, Michael, has an extremely badass car. Plus it talks.

[BigTom]

Clutch/DBT but DBT would have to do a full on 100% Rock Show...none of the pretty songs like Santa Fe, etc. Not that there's anything wrong with those songs, some of my favorites are the slower songs.

[Maluca3]

Also slightly off thread, but Chris Knight is quite good live. I was fairly reluctantly dragged by a bandmate to see him, and most definitely enjoyed the live experience much more than what my friend had played for me beforehand.

[Penny Lane]

DBT, J Roddy, Lucero, and the Shakes (+ Booker T) are about as perfect as you can get (other than MMJ)..
DC was an incredible dream-like lineup

[4sooner]

NY & CH would be the dream bill.

I don't know if you could get much better than some of the ones i've been privelidged to see though:

Ryan Bingham/DBT
Don Chambers/DBT
James McMurtry (w/band)/DBT
Centro Matic/DBT

[beantownbubba]

Realistic:

Lucero
Dexateens

Possible:

James McMurtry
Bottle Rockets
Any Warren Haynes vehicle
Tedeschi/Trucks or Tedeschi or Trucks

Stretch:

Peter Wolf (w/ DBT as his band; I know this makes no sense on paper, but trust me, it would kick all kinds of ass)

Dream:

The Original Allman Brothers Band
The Original Lynyrd Skynyrd
Otis Redding

[one belt loop]

Realistic:

Lucero
Dexateens

You could stop right there. I'd be fine.
