twoshedsjackson Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Saw the show @ Toad's Place (New Haven, CT) last night. I had seen Blitzen Trapper before (in support of Furr). They're a much tighter band these days. I liked them before, but they were excellent last night. I would strongly recommend you check them.They were great, weren't they? It was my 4th time seeing them. Where were you standing? We were on the rail in front of Erik Menteer. DBT were ok. I can take them or leave them, to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites

I see at the Richmond show DBT did 32 songs, which seems like a very long set after an opener. Did BT play a full hour opening set? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks.BT went on at 8:30 & I think they probably played for 45 minutes to an hour. Could be different at your show though, so I'd follow Tim's advice. Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 At the Richmond show BT went on at about 8:15 and played about 45 minutes, I think. I wasn't paying that much attention to the time, but they were excellent. I'm with twoshedsjackson re DBT, though--I really prefer BT even though I'd never heard them before. There was something about their songs that felt instantly resonant, like I'd heard them before, even though I know I haven't. Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 When they play here in June, the opener is Water Liars, who I've never heard of. Would have liked to see Blitzen Trapper, though. Link to post Share on other sites

Good news for you--they're playing a few dates in FLA in May as headliners! http://www.blitzentrapper.net/shows Easy driving distance. You're welcome. Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Soulive was great. Seen them lots of times in Boston, NOLA and DC, but never on their home turf during their own Bowlive run. Great vibe from the get go. Fantastic venue.

DBT were ok. I can take them or leave them, to be honest.They were very good. I was about 16 "rows" deep between Erik and the Napolean Dynamite-looking multi-intrumentalist.

worldrecordplayer Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 How was the show?That was a Rock Show! I brought a bunch of friends, none of us had seen them, they lived up to all our very high expectations. Right from the English Oceans opener through the Grand Canyon feedback drenched closer. Thought BT was ok, good for an opener, wouldn't rush to see them as a headliner. They did a great a Rocky Mountain Way. Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah that was the best of the 6 times I've seen DBT. The band is really clicking. Loved the slight rearrangement of Puttin People on the Moon. Link to post Share on other sites
