Drive By Truckers w/ Bobby Bare, Jr.


Recommended Posts

$15 is worth it just for Drive-By Truckers. They kick so much ass live. I went to their New Year's Eve show in New York a couple of years ago just because I was in town anyway to see Wilco at Madison Square Garden.

 

It turned out to be one of the best concerts I've been to. I hadn't heard any of their songs before that show, but I loved it so much that I bought The Dirty South and some of their other stuff. (Plus I'm seeing them twice on this tour!) You should definitely go.

It's $15 plus whatever Ticketmaster wants to gouge me out of.

Is it worth it? Tell me about your DBT and Bobby Bare experiences.

 

i can think of worse ways to blow $20.

 

i have only seen DBT once but loved it, and they are supposed to usually kick ass live.

 

bbj's new album is really good imo. saw him play both in chicago with louieb and in nashville warming up for this tour, and thought he sounded great.

 

if the venue is a good one, i would go.

GO !!!

Haven't seen DBT yet but am planning to see them this tour. I have seen BBJr twice and consider him one of the best live performers out there. The $20.00 is worth it for him alone.

DO NOT SKIP THIS SHOW.

Like Nobody Girl, I went to the NYC show the night after Wilco on NYE, and although I had a couple of their albums nothing could have prepared me for the 3 1/2 hour onslaught of amazing rock I witnessed. I'll be seeing them next week with Bobby Bare Jr as well. Can't fucking wait.

A word of warning though, bring earplugs. Seriously.

"Pfffft"........ YES!

 

Tell me about your DBT experiences

Seen them three times this year; (DBT I mean).

In February I was left with tinnitus and the accompanying obligatory "ringing" in the ears for weeks later.

 

As soon as that cleared up I saw 'em again. With ear plugs.

Go to this show.

Hahaha, I think we're talking about the same show here, Zepp.

 

Dang, I don't like earplugs. I guess I should also get to know DBT before I go. The new Bare CD is pretty damn good. Way better than the last one, although Motherfucker is an awesome song.

If we're talking about the Lancaster show (that's the one I'll be at), what better thing can there be to do in Lancaster on a Wednesday (or any day of the week for that matter) then see the DBT & BBJ? Seriously. Plus the Chameleon is a good small place to see a show.

Yeah, I think I'll plan to go. I really want to see BBJ. I wonder what the odds are that it'll sell out?

 

And yeah, the Chameleon's alright. It's nice to see they're getting some decent shows again. They were really stinking it up for a while, there.

Me too. I saw DBT once and dug them (take earplugs) and BBJ serveral times. BBJ is worth the price of admission alone. But if you really aren't into "country music" (whatever that means) neither will be your cup of tea.

 

(Hey rareair, which BBJ gig was that?)

I would call it "Southern Rock" before I'd call it "country". DBT anyway.

 

Even if you've never heard a note, do yourself a favor and check them out.

Well sure it is Southern Rock, which was what some country rock was called before it was called alt.country, which is basically what BBJ is, so I was going generic I guess. Neither could be really classified as "country", but both have roots in country. Neither twangs very much since both rock more than twang.

 

Either way I concur, I would like to see this show.

The show was at the Old Town Folk Music Hall (I think that is the name) around the end of May, and he played with his dad. great show and loved the venue. He played several songs off his new album, which I believe was recorded in one day.

 

i cannot quit listening to it.

I still need to get the new album.

 

Of course I NOW remember that gig, that was very memorable. In fact it was a gas particularly when we went to the bar after the show and hung with the band.

Yea, its not like I can't find it; Laurie's has the complete Bloodshot catalogue or I could just drop by the Bloodshot offices too. What was I thinking?

 

(Oh yea it must be that pile of as yet unheard CDs and LPs I have at home.... :lol )

 

Come on back to Chicago sometime too....

Jes because they have a southern accent don't make it country music.
