I actually just got back into watching it this summer after a ten plus year hiatus.  This will be my first event, and I am very excited for it.  It also ends my drought of going to shows (music, wrestling, comedy, whatever) due to me finally leaving "under-employed" status. 

Last night…Lucero proved they are one of the most boring bands in the planet.

And the Truckers killed it. Anybody know the song that namechecked "Sweet Home Alabama" toward the end? I'm not talking about "Ronnie and Neil", which they didn't play.

And who know "The Living Bubba" and "Used to Be a Cop" were makeout songs? Saw two separate bros put the "choke hold/ram tongue down the bitches  throat for extended periods" move on their women during those respective songs.

And there were more beards there last night than…insert your favorite bead reference joke here…

Lucero were great. I was a little concerned when eight of them took the stage, but they pulled it off.

The only thing that DBT killed in the first 45 minutes was apparently the attention of the crowd, which dwindled by roughly half on the floor. They finally kicked it up near the end of their set.  But look how many times the roadie had to come out to ask the crowd to make some noise if they wanted an encore.

I was wondering if you (or any other boardies) were there. Having not seen you for a few years, have forgotten what you looked like.

There was a really tall guy with white hair obstructing our line of vision at one point during Lucero. Was wondering if it was you and how you could have aged so much in just a few years!

If that was you I knocked over with my walker, I apologize.

The crowd would have stayed if the DBT hit the stage at the scheduled time of 9:30 instead of 10:15. I bet people who left are the ones who took the metro.

Perhaps. I still thought that the first part of their set lacked some energy and didn't really get a head of steam until Carl Perkins. After that they were great, but they played much less time than I expected. Maybe that's the drawback of seeing a band on the first night of a three night stand. They were pacing themselves.

Nonetheless, a sub-par DBT show is still a very good thing.

I've noticed their setlists have gotten shorter in the last couple of years. Hence,  shorter set times. They are becoming geezers like the rest of us.

Aston Barrett was phenomenal..what a bass player!

The rest of the "Wailers" were rather meh although one of the others on keyboard was apparently Keith Sterling.. no slouch

Huge crowd at the State Theatre just as was the case the last time I was there for Devo. They're expanding the upstairs; looks pretty close to done.

I found it hard to pay for that Devo show given I had just seen them a bit over two years ago at 930 for significantly less. Hope it was good.


Just the noise thing in Fairfax tomorrow for me.
And The Plums were very good as always on Tuesday.

I once shared a spliff with Family Man.

True story.
