I also thought the Austin shows were great. Are there songs I wish they’d play more often? Of course. But that is what makes bustouts like Careless at Homecoming so special. I’m also a big Pearl Jam fan and have never seen the band play Dirty Frank. I know I will enjoy my shows this year whether or not I see them play that song.pearlbeer wrote: ↑Tue Mar 01, 2022 4:05 pmFWIW the two shows in Austin a few months ago were great and high energy (or was it that I was high?). If you don't think there is going to be some weirdness after two years of shows being mostly shut down, than you aren't thinking. Hell, people can't even figure out how to fly on a goddamn airplane correctly these days. I attended my first in-person business conference in two years last week and while refreshing to get back out there in the real world, it was a bit odd and I questioned whether I was doing it correctly, and kept checking to make sure I remembered to wear pants. The band, I think did a great job keeping on during the lockdown(s)...streaming shows, we got to meet Brownie, learn more stories and get a bit more personal with the band. And we all got the Daddy's Cup we ALL figured we would never get.Bill in CT wrote: ↑Sun Feb 27, 2022 10:41 pmI’ve actually been going to the shows with friends and talking to other fans. They all are loving the shows and the lineup.
I’ve been seeing DBT since December 2001. In all that time they have never been a 4-person band.
Go back to complaining about Mariners ticket prices. That is a topic you actually know something about.
As a guy who leans stage left at the Rock Show, I understand the frustration with Cooley not rolling out all his old numbers. I suppose I've come to realize that it's just that all of his songs...really...ALL of them are just so goddamn good. They are all worthy of playing at every show and have special meaning to each of us in different ways. That said, I've seen Space City, Loaded Gun, Panties and Carl rolled out more often than he gets credit for. Cartoon Gold are Jimmy are both songs that, sure I'd love to see more often, but it's only because, damn I do love those songs. (she's like a talking leather couch)
There's a flip side to this. Pre-Pandemic we all saw Zip starting to regularly slip from the rotation. And while I'm totally okay with that to make room for other stuff, I don't know...at the show or in the parking lot after, I'm not going to get through a DBT show without screaming 305 Engine. But, you know me, I ain't got no good intentions.

Re: Seattle 2/19 & 2/20
I am in general agreement with your "Let Cooley Be Cooley" sentiment, but I am reasonably confident we haven't seen a full-band Carl Perkins' Cadillac since, like, Revenge of The Dirt Underneath in 2015. I could be wrong. Definitely seen him do it solo a few times since then, though.
All it takes is one wicked heart, a pile of money, and a chain of folks just doing their jobs

It's such a good song. If he doesn't play it for you at Homecoming, I will.Mundane Mayhem wrote: ↑Tue Mar 01, 2022 4:57 pmI am in general agreement with your "Let Cooley Be Cooley" sentiment, but I am reasonably confident we haven't seen a full-band Carl Perkins' Cadillac since, like, Revenge of The Dirt Underneath in 2015.

Re: Seattle 2/19 & 2/20
Well this escalated in a strange way. Bubba said what I was thinking. The guys haven’t played live much at all in a really long time. Are we really surprised if they’re a little bit off balance and maybe slightly off their game this early back into things? I mean as great as they are they’re just people. And slightly off their game is still better than most bands on their A game. I have no doubt they will all eight cylinders, all twelve gears very soon. Gotta give them time. There’s bound to be a little rust.
