Looking back, the best part of this show was the trifecta of: Boys from Bama/Buford Stick/Cottonseed.
But, there was some other nuggets they played that night that I miss hearing in the set these days.
How bout you?

No idea now that oneofthesedays.org is gone

[John A Arkansawyer]

I'd have to look it up, but it started with Zip City and ended with Angels and Fuselage. The encore was with the Hold Steady. I'm not sure who the gorilla was.

March 2008 at the TLA in Philly. No idea on the set list, but I remember that they grabbed my attention with Uncle Frank and Company I Keep, and by the time they were done with Buttholeville/State Trooper my fate was sealed.

[gepman]

Didn't realize how lucky I was at the time... setlists just aren't this EPIC any longer...

My biggest memory was doors opened at 7pm. There was no opener. DBT didn't take the stage until after 10pm.
Wife went with me, was 7 months pregnant, stuck out the whole night. She was a real trooper... Thank God she had a stool near the bar...

RIP Recher Theater!

I found the set list on bt.etree.org. I went with one friend; he and I had been listening to SRO for months. We tailgated in a parking garage and got lots of funny looks; we were rednecks in Charlottesville. Much of the concert memories were pretty hazy the next day, but we knew that we'd found our favorite band and commenced to converting our friends! 9-20-08 was definitely a "Let There Be Rock" kind of night for me!

I wish I could remember what the "fight broke out" on Zip City was about. Maybe if i relisten to a recording of the show some memories will be stirred. Just thinking about that night has put a big smile on my face!

I have no idea but they did two short sets at the Local 506 in Chapel Hill on May 23, 2000 as part of Honkytonkarama; one on the main stage and one stripped down acoustic set next door at the Carolina Sports Lounge where they did an "Acapulco" version of "Bulldozers & Dirt". I have pro shot footage of their main stage set which needs to be transferred to DVD.

This shot of the set they did at the Carolina Sports Lounge ended up on the back cover of Alabama Ass Whuppin'. To put things in further perspective, Patterson was selling CD-R copies of Killers & Stars that were subtitled "First Draft, A Work In Progress" at the time. I also picked up a first pressing of the "Bulldozers & Dirt" single that night.

[Zip City]

Mine was the Dirt Underneath show I did the lighting for at The State Theatre in State College, PA. I remember they opened with "The Home Front" (a song I will likely never hear live again) and they did The Living Bubba, My Sweet Annette, LTBR and others.

Holy shit, that's a good one

Sure was. Honestly, it all was sorta one big blur at the time.
I was only familiar with Decoration Day and I think The Dirty South had just come out.
For me anyway, Live isn't always the best place / setting to hear a song for the first time.

Wish I could go back in time and do this again with the intimate knowledge of the music that I have now...

[Barely_Oakely]

I'm pretty sure this was my first one. I was a senior in college and after downloading a DBT show off of NPR I decided that I needed to seem them ASAP. The nearest show was in Chicago. Cue the epic road trip.

Manchester,UK 12 November 2010

Met Uncle Rickey and Cooleygirl in the queue (they were at the front ), who were discussing how dangerous the area where the show in Birmingham the next day was. Put them right on a few misconceptions and then ended up on the rail with them.

Horrible sound and thankfully I had a ticket for the next show in Birmingham otherwise I might never have fallen for the band. The second show opened with Lookout Mountain and I ended up getting very drunk after the show with Uncle Rickey, Cooleygirl and Craig and some guy who had come down from Newcastle for the show - it was Uncle Rickey's birthday.

First time I saw them was at the City Stages festival in B'ham, the summer before TDS came out. I remember we got Let There Be Rock, Where the Devil Won't Stay, Boys from Alabama...
First real time seeing them in a club was at Tipitina's in NOLA the weekend before the TDS release shows (which I was at the Friday show). Opened with "WTDWS", huge setlist, got the debut of "Back of a Bible", "In the Midnight Hour", pretty much all of TDS and most of DD, and they closed with Steve McQueen.
