    Some other good ones here too, Iron & Wine, Cat Power, Sigur Ros being webcast too.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Thumbs down on switching before they were done. I know they have to cater to other bands, but that was a tease.

    No kidding, especially to go to an empty stage...

    I would rather them show an entire set than switch back and forth...especially when Cooley was about to fire into Guitar Man Upstairs...that's just cruel. :D

    Well, Merkinball, am I missing anything (order not exactly right):

    That Man I Shot
    Self Destructive Zones
    Where The Devil Don't Stay
    Life in the Factory
    Puttin' People on the Moon
    The Company I Keep
    Dead Drunk & Naked
    Three Dimes Down
    I'm Eighteen
    You & Your Chrystal Meth
    Righteous Path
    I'm Sorry Huston
    Guitar Man Upstairs
    Marry Me
    Checkout Time in Vegas
    Let There Be Rock

    Ghost to Most
    Lookout Mountain
    Steve Mcqueen
    18 Wheels of Love

    Surprised we didn't get Zip City or Women Without Whiskey. I can't argue though - hell of a show. You got a couple of tunes from Gangstabilly.

    Front row is definitely the place to be - that was great... but my ears are still ringing at 10:30 AM the next morning - next time: ear plugs.

    The ride back to L.A. was fine, but the eyes started getting heavy the last half hour or so... but we made it just fine...

    Add in The Tough Sell between Self Destructive Zones and Where The Devil Don't Stay, and it looks about right. That was a hell of a show, Patterson was definitely fired up for a rock show, no slow songs for him. And yeah, I got my Gangstabilly tunes. First time I've heard 18 Wheels live, and Steve McQueen was the icing on the cake. The encore order was

    Ghost to Most
    18 Wheels of Love
    Lookout Mountain
    Steve McQueen

    Even with the earplugs, my ears are ringing a bit. Kids still got me up early (7:30), and my son is running around the house in his new DBT shirt.

    only songs i really remember.. the man i shot, puttin' people on the moon, im sorry houston, ronnie and neil!, let there be rock

    i guess they barely made the show.. had to haul ass overnight to make it from vancouver... but im glad i finally got to see em... hopefully they realize the fans they have here and come back for their own show!

    did anyone else catch any of the canadian shows?

    Just saw these guys for the first time last night.

    Holy fritting shick, they rocked hard. Aside from PJ, I've never seen a band take such primal joy from playing loud rock music, and playing it well. Also, as a huge Cooley fan, my brain was literally melting from hearing Where The Devil Don't Stay, Ghost To Most, Women Without Whiskey, Zip City and Three Dimes Down in my very first show. :D
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    I bought BTCD and tbh, I didn't think that much of it, apart from A Ghost To Most which is an absoutley incredible song. I'll give the album another listen or two.
