Would anyone who has seen DBT's care to comment on their show? Do they extend their 3:30 minute songs into 12-15 jam sessions? Is it a marathon 3 hour set? Are they disassociated from the audience or engaging? Clearly, this will be my first Truckerâ??s show.

Why don't you just go with no expectations and enjoy it for what it is. Do you ask people what happens during films before you watch them?

This will also be my first time seeing the Truckers...do they ever play Demonic Possession anymore? That's been one of my favorite songs for years.

Dress Blues is a Jason Isbell solo work. Let Me Roll It is probably a Paul McCartney cover. I don't know about Rebels -- maybe a Petty cover.

i am guessing lots of people read movie reviews before going to see them
-
Why don't I go without any expectations? I like songs of the 3-5 minutes, verse/chorus/verse variety. DTB fall into this category. If they take these songs and make them into 12 minute jam sessions, that's not the Trucker's experience that I would choose and would sell my ticket to someone who would enjoy the show more than myself.
I'd rather hear 12-15 songs per hour vice 5 songs with extended guitar solos per hour. Therefore, if I ask what to expect before hand I can avoid a potentially unpleasant night or be prepared for a great time.
Thanks for trying to place an ounce of wit into a pound of sarcasm.

Any word on when his solo album is coming out?
-
They will be streaming Saturdayâ??s show on NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5546929).

I don't know what's more strange: DBT on All Songs Considered, or Pabst Blue Ribbon beer having a banner ad on NPR.org...

Lots of love for Mission of Burma, but I'll get to see them in Chicago and this DBT tourstop at the club is a treat too nice to pass up.

oh i rememeber it, some guy came on here complaining about not getting into a show with wine-stained lips, right?

best songwriter: Isbell, Hood, or Cooley?

Cooley gets my vote

ding!
Oh, and NPR says tune in "approximately at 11 pm"...Eddie states 10:30 pm start time (remember to confirm day of show). Approximately doesn't mean 10:30 to me, I feel the need to clarify for the people at home. :D
Maybe I'll see you all there!
-
Have to vote Isbell, although I think he and Cooley are helped by the fact that DBT does less of their songs, so we get the cream of their crops, so to speak and never get Isbell and Cooley tunes that are just good. With Hood, we get so much that we get his great AND good songs.
-
Best Truckers song: Something's Gotta Give
Patterson has MORE good songs, but Cooley hits the mark a higher percentage of the time. Not crazy about Isbell's writing, but he gets the best guitarist award.
See y'all at the rock show.
-
Wow, I just re-read one of my replies and it sounds like I can't take a joke, my bad. Anyway, I'll list my top 3 DBT's songs at the moment. It's always subject to change.
1. The Deeper In
2. Heathens
3. Daylight
-
'let me roll it' is indeed the mccartney/wings song. jason isbell sings the hell out of it.
no idea of 'rebels' is the tom petty song or not, but if it is i wish they'd drop it in favor of 'daylight,' which for my money is a much better tom petty song, even if he didn't write it.
to the guy who asked what a dbt show is like - i saw them new year's morning in nyc last year and, um, they rocked. little bit of chatting, mostly from patterson - a born frontman if ever there was one - and not a lot of long jamming. not nearly as much of either as on their great live set, 'alabama ass whuppin.' here's hoping patterson has some more great stories up his sleeve.
and a personal top five-
outfit
dead drunk and naked
do it yourself
let there be rock
goddamn lonely love
(i like cooley's songs a lot too, btw)

Seeing as you and your wife are planning on starting a family soon, isn't it best that you refrain from going to clubs and concerts and the like?
-
We will refrain from going to standing only, smoking clubs, when she's pregnant. Thanks for your concern.

I know most of my top five are Hood songs, but I'm going say that Cooley is my favorite just because there isn't a single Cooley song that I dislike, while there are definitely a few Hood and Isbell songs that I don't like.

What a phenomenal band and a great show!!
Closing with Jim Carroll's "People Who Died" was priceless,certainly didn't see that comin!!!
-
Native Athenian and old school DBT fan, I was shocked and pleased! to see the 9:30 sell out. Great sweaty drunk rock show. Happy girl. If anyone is still reading this, maybe clue me in to some good local-ish bands.
-
great rawk show, but it was the hottest/most humid i can ever remember 930 club being ... felt like a sauna in there!
truckers were everything i was expecting, would have liked to have heard "something's gotta give", but they played ALOT of songs
-
Great show from start to finish I thought. They have become a bit more polished but without losing any of the fun. Although there appeared to be a lot less swilling from the bottle.
Hot, sweaty and packed to the gills.

See if you can beat this story.
We were on the balcony, with rail spots. This nut job was dancing around harassing people around us. He was bumping into everybody, myself included. We did our bet to ignore him and watch the show. The next thing I know, he's seated on the risers behind me, and starts repeatedly biting my ass cheek. I turned around and slapped him in the head, and he looked at me and exclaimed, "I just wanted to eat some ass."
He's lucky he didn't do that to a homophobic redneck. If that had been the case, he could have ended up with some serious injuries.
-
There are a couple of lossless versions of the show here (http://digitalpanic.org/btforums/forumdisplay.php?f=10). (No membership or password required.)
-
Hey WLSLM. I was behind you at the show, i think. I saw that weird dude bite you. I was very impressed with the club for ejecting him. An excellent show in all!
-
I'd like to know how much beer was sold @ this show.
And hopefully the AC was broken. Because that was one of the most thick days I can remember in DC (maybe I've just acclimated to life outside the dirty south) and that was before stepping into an even more hot/humid packed nightclub.
Still a great show by a GREAT band. Not the same band I used to watch in half full tiny clubs, but it's been fun to watch them achieve arena rock readiness.
Moonlight Mile was superb.
"You all sound like you are gonna explooooode!'
-p.h.
-
i had a good time, even though i was very very far away

That is priceless! I will not even attempt to top that one. Of all the things I can say have happened at shows over the last 25 years...I've never ONCE been bitten in the ass!...I got there right as the band was going on,dumped my extra ticket outside in about one minute.....the place was sweltering hot!......the band just seemed to be rolling with the crowd.....and we were having a great time.....I could barely get in the door by the merch table at the beginning....I stayed there for about 45 minutes and then grabbed a beer and headed upstairs....I was on the right side facing the stage on the third step up with some college jam band fans who were really toasted.....one hell of a show,but I still miss seeing them at IOTA and Fletchers.....
-
DBT are my alltime favorites (or one of them). SO pissed I was out of town this weekend. Thanks for the comments on the show, you all. I'm listening to NPR recording right now.
I've been watching this band grow for years. They will always represent for me a band that writes from the heart and live what they write... write what they live. It's all real. It's all rock.
What I dig most is the fact that they have three amazing songwriters. All different and all have their strengths. No stepping on toes... they step aside and let the truth come alive.
OK. I'm preaching. sorry.
ROCK.
-
I don't know if I completely buy into the whole Truckers living what they write about bullshit.
Patterson Hood is the son of David Hood, Stax session bassist extraordinairre.
Granted, that doesn't mean he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. But I'm also willing to bet he grew up as a typical punk rock loving middle class kid, not some scruffy loser who gets his sister pregnant. I'll bet he doesn't have a 350 lb mom who married a trucker named "Chester" either.
