For those of you who didn't go to the DBT show at Fletcher's, big mistake. Packed, packed, packed, house in a small venue. Great energy. These guys rock!
I don't know if the 930 show will be as good. Might be a big venue for them. Worth checking out either way.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
How long did they play? What time did they start?
I'm wondering because I went to see Emmylou Harris instead, but she was off stage at 10:30..almost drove to Balmer..decided I needed sleep instead.
They will be fine at the 9:30, they are pros who can play to any room, whether full or empty.

Started around 9:30 and ended sometime after 12:30, although too many beers to know exactly.
They were into it last night, drinking PBR cans and Jack on stage, having a blast.
Great show.

Thx Nomad…you just ruined my Halloween. :(
I had tix for the show but all my cohorts started bailing - lame work excuses.
So I tossed around all day yesterday deciding whether to make the 4 hour drive or not. I decided no - made all kinds of rationalizations: be responsible, save $$, I've seen them 10 times, etc…
Now I hear this. Fuck. I just knew it was going to be a great show.
Guess I'll try to catch them again in Cleve or State College.

grotty: if it makes you feel any better:
Mid September: Emmylou Harris and Drive By Truckers on sale roughly the same time for the same night.
Late September: Well placed source tells me to see Emmylou cause DBT will come back to DC in november.
Early October: I buy my tickets to fly home for thanksgiving; leaving Tuesday, Nov 25.
Late October: DBT is announced at 9:30 for Wednesday, Nov 26.
Result: I miss them TWICE!!
I'm glad I went to see Emmylou last night, don't get me wrong..but… :mad:

I've got tix to see the White Stripes here in Pitt the nite before Thanksgiving or I'd be hauling down there to see DBT on Thanks eve.
I saw DBT in Birmingham last Thanksgiving in an even bigger venue than the 9:30 and it was great - I'm sure the 9:30 show will be very good.
To make me feel better I just bought tix to go to the PSU show next Tuesday - hope it's almost as good.

Saco - that sucks - that's what you get for planning things in advance :D
Going to SXSW this year? It's been a DBT fest the last couple years.
