Drive By Truckers on Friday
They were great in Austin last weekend and I look forward to seeing them play much longer set.
And now for the question that everyone asks��what are the chances of this selling out? I haven't had a chance to make it down to the box office yet.

will there still be tickets at the door? i am debating going, which usually means no :o
according to the FAQ's there will be tickets available tomorrow.
I'm playing it by ear…if my HH is over, I may head to the club and assume there will be tickets.
I'm there.
I think it will sell out or come very close. It's a Friday night - the show @ the BC last year had a nice size crowd on a school night - & the buzz around them is greater than ever.
The show I just saw here in Pittsburgh would rank as one of their best for me (prob seen 15 times). Hopefully it's an indication of what Friday night will be like.
Anyone who doesn't go to this because they think they don't like country music is doing themselves a huge disservice. I think you'll miss one of the best rock shows of the year if you don't go. I defy anyone to listen to Lookout Mountain on the Dirty South & then argue that they are a country band.
Even if you think they aren't your thing, I'd recommend that you check them out. Seeing is believing.

Honestly, I don't think I've ever heard a DBT song before. R they suck?
Enjoyed the show at Black Cat but I really think they play too long. I lose interest in most all bands after 2 hours.
True for me too, unless it's a band where I have all the albums and know all the songs. And now that I have the last 4 DBT albums (I only had one at the Black Cat show), I'm ready for the long shows.

From the City Paper's "City Lights"; By David Dunlap JR.
"My little brother, bless his felonious, curly-headed soul, owns some bad music.
Still, despite his lack of discretion, our common blood means that his approval of a band I like means more to me than that of any hip tastemaker.
Thus, among the proudest mooments of my year was the one where the li'l pubehead got hooked on the Drive-By Truckers. But even better was the news that the Truckers were a hit when he played them for stock slack-jaweds at a gen-yoo-wine Arkansas fish fry. (For the uninformed, that's where real rednecks in nonironic trucker hats cook catfish, drink kegs of Bud, and debate the merits of SEC football teams.)
Aint gonna hear no Fiery Furnaces or Shins blessed by fish fryers, are ya, Captain Coolbreeze?
It was a relief: As much as I love the Truckers- for whom I feel as the Oak Ridge Boys felt for Elvira- I've always worried that their main appeal is to those pasty rock writers who are too timid to actually listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd or David Allan Coe. Because, unlike those acts, the Truckers have taken great pains to avoid appearing like Confederate flag waving crackers. (Guitarist and singer Patterson Hood refers to it as struggling with "the duality of the Southern thing.") But the band's latest,The Dirty South , is as below the Mason Dixon line gritty as their last one, Decoration Day , was bleak. This time around, Hood and Co's subjects are straight from a hicksploitation flick: alcoholics, dirt-track stock cars, suicical rubes, and rural drug dealers. Hell, they even have three songs about stick-wielding Sheriff Buford Pusser, who inspired the first three Walking Tall movies."

aha…I get it…
It's a late show:
Friday, September 24
Doors Open 9
Allison Moorer 10
Drive-By Truckers 11:30
Crowd should be plenty rowdy by then.

I'm listening to Alabama Ass Whoopin right now, with the Skynrd cover. Woohoo!
It is going to be a late show but it will be the DBT set will be starting at 11:15. Sorry for the misinformation I posted up earlier. DBT's at 11:15 rather than 11:30. Of course now there will inevitably be some technical issue and they will end up going on at 11:30 so…as you were.
should i assume that catching the metro after the dbt set is out of the question?
Originally posted by muke:It runs until 3:00 on weekends, no? Shouldn't be a problem. Only concern to keep in mind is if you're making a connection fairly far out from Metro Center that will be an earlier "last call" then the last train times downtown.

Talk about getting your moneys worth. That was $15 well spent. Allison Moorer played for an hour & DBT played for 2+ hours. I really wasnâ??t all that familiar with Allison Moorer, but by the end of her set, I was really impressed. Her lead guitarist is amazing and sometimes he seemed to steel the attention away form Allison.
During DBT set there was a lot of fist pumping with a beer in hand going on (their music encourages that). All in all they sounded great. Some people must not enjoy a long set because the crowd started to thin out at 1am. But, DBT continued to play till 1:45am.
They did one cover song. Who was that by?
