Cooley did play Sounds Better in the Song, on Thursday night (I think you need to hire a fact checker Zip, those reds and blues must really be getting to you).Zip City wrote: The lack of songs from The Big to Do and Go Go Boots is unsurprising, as most of those songs have fallen off the set lists long ago. That said, I'm surprised that Everybody Needs Love didn't surface
It's disappointing that English Oceans is going the same way
Shocked that there was no appearance of What it Means, Ever South or Kinky Hypocrite
Cooley really stayed away from the quiet stuff; while he did play Imagine, he avoided Sounds Better in the Song, First Air of Autumn, Loaded Gun, Space City, etc.
No World of Hurt?????

As for the rest of yall's back and forth on the setlists, in the end they play what they play and it's all fuckin glorious. When I see the truckers, I honestly really truthfully 100% do not give a damn what songs they play because - esp at homecoming - it's all great. Would it be nice to hear this song or that song, yeah but that's always the case with any band at any show. But in the end so what. IMO homecoming weekend always scores 100 out of a possible 100 and you can't improve on that.

These aren't complaints, just observations. Based on past Athens runs, there are certain songs you sorta expect to organically appear. As the band's catalog gets deeper, it's harder to fit all those inbeantownbubba wrote:

100% with you, It simply doesn't matter. You always get a few you don't expect and they bring the Rock every fucking night, like you say, especially at Homecoming. No complaints from this corner.Clams wrote:Cooley did play Sounds Better in the Song, on Thursday night (I think you need to hire a fact checker Zip, those reds and blues must really be getting to you).Zip City wrote: The lack of songs from The Big to Do and Go Go Boots is unsurprising, as most of those songs have fallen off the set lists long ago.

Absolutely. I get it. I like talking about this stuff more than enough to have earned my DBT geek badge and I appreciate you doing the work for your post.

See how easy it is to repeat a song?LastLawson wrote:Just a few which may have balanced it more: Eyes like Glue, Lisa's Birthday, Daddy's Cup, Carl Perkin's Cadillac, Filthy and Fried, Kinky Hypocrite, Cartoon Gold, Hearing Jimmy Loud, and Cartoon Gold.
Amen to that! I know everyone has their "favorite side" to stand at a Truckers show, but put me between Patterson and Jay. There are times that he is sitting at the piano, but playing guitar... you can see Cooley and Patterson playing guitar but hear a melody or lead out of nowhere, and see that it is Jay playing guitar sitting at the piano.LastLawson wrote: ...I can't believe I forgot to mention Jay's outstanding contributions on keys and guitar. First time I've heard A&F close w/ just piano (Bubba agreed, but someone correct me if I'm wrong), but it was fucking awesome. I also didn't realize how many guitar solos from the American Band songs were his - his playing is so catchy yet tasteful, I can't help but think of Mike Campbell. Of course, Matt/EZB were a force of a nature as always, but no surprises there.
