I'm going for sure…..saw 'em at Fletchers last year and they kicked it! Some Patterson Hood storytellin' will be a great follow up to the X show on Saturday night!
Drive By Truckers: Roll Call
Also…..the new album is pretty damn good…..not the classic that "Southern Rock Opera" is but great anyway. I've been listening to it for about a month or so and it's cool…..

My wife predicts she will be one of about five women at tonights show. Do any women go to DBT shows?
Originally posted by Rhett Miller:well, i can think of 3 women who will be at the show, so just 2 more have to show up. . .which i think will happen. and if the wallflower comes, he counts as 2 girls.

Well you know the men at alt-country shows are always going to be hot, and they're always going to drag along their hot wives or girlfriends. But I'm wondering if hot single women choose to go, or if all the hot women are just wives/girlfriends. Not that it really makes any difference to me personally…

Are you saying I'm going to walk into a room of testosterone when I go to the show tonight?!
By the way, the Immortal Lee County Killers II were picked by the City Paper. Am I the only one going mainly to see them?

Anybody have any idea about set times? The show is listed as 8:30 on the Cat's website, but obviously the openers won't go on until later…
Anyone know if this show is sold out? Cat's website says nothing, but Ticketbastard says no tix available.
I just called the Black Cat, they said there are still lots of tickets available. It is probably just to close to the show to buy them from ticketmaster.
Eh?
Ohhhh, you used the telephone. I get it.
Great news, thanks.

Well, the Immortal Lee County Killers II were all I could have hoped for and more. They fucking rocked. I made the obvious mistake of thinking they were from Detroit but I think they may hail from Alabama? Bought the latest album and it is fantastic also. How kick ass was the drummer??
By the way, Kosmo, I think they are called ILCK2 because this is the second drummer and so a new incarnation of the band. Just a theory.

Well, I guess we all have our own tastes! My friend loved them, too, but I found them unlistenable (if that's a word)
The Truckers DID rock and put on a heck of a show, but I, for one, can take only so much of them. Hard-working, talented bunch of fuckers, though…

that was a marathon performance last night. . .the only thing i can compare that show to would be a gbv show, but with more guitar solos. i thought it was a fantastic show. . .all 2 1/2 hours of it.
I agree. Great show, but then again the truckers ALWAYS put on a great show. Very happy I made the effort to get there early to see the killers too.
And thanks again Eddie.
And thanks again Eddie.
I liked the punchy rockers, but was a bit bored by the bluesy ballads. "Shut and and Get on the Plane", "Let There Be Rock", and "People Who Died" combined to make it work the price of admission.
The opening band was reason enough to visit the Red Room. Thanks for the root beer, Lulu.
I must say that I can with certaintly say that I prefer the Truckers pals/labelmates Slobberbone over the Truckers. Reasons why:
1. Slobberbone channels Neil Young, the Truckers channel Skynard.
2. Slobberbone's lyrics are far superior.
3. Slobberbone is nicer to look at.
Very much looking forward to seeing Slobberbone again next Tuesday…

i too liked the up tempo stuff from drive by truckers… the alternating between fast and slow was wearing a bit thin by the end of the evening. they certainly have released a lot of new material since i saw them last in 2000. i only recognized three or four songs out of the whole 2.5 set. will have to pickup of the southern rock opera discs. i was disappointed by the lack of storytelling by Patterson and missed their old guitar player who looked like he came straight from deliverance country and sang all the low harmonies. good show could have used a slightly tighter setlist. and a tip of the hat to eddie as well.
