    Had my first taste of Jason and the 400 Unit live last night....damn good show. Everything that we saw advertised them as the headliner, but they were actually the opener for Will Hoge. They played for about an hour and 10 minutes. "Brand New Kind of Actress" was the show opener..scorching version. Other high points included "Try", "Chicago Promenade", "Grown", "Hurricanes and Hand Grenades." The version of "Dress Blues" was a little slower than the album version, but still well done. For his fans from the DBT days, Jason broke out "Goddamn Lonely Love," "Never Gonna Change," and "Danko/Manuel." There were two songs with which I was not familiar, but they sounded great. The band was smokin'.

    I can`t believe he is opening for Will Hoge ....... that really blows. What time did Jason and the Unit take the stage? I`m going to see them in Raliegh tomorrow night. I was planning on a 10ish arrival but if he is the middle band that`s going to be late. Any thoughts on Hoge?

    Jason came on stage a little bit after nine last night...the scheduled start.

    Hoge, I had never heard. My wife really liked him...his band is also very talented. It took awhile for him to grow on me....I don't hear real well, so the unfamiliarity with his music made it hard for me to pick up on his words. Both acts put on blistering sets.

    Looks like they are switching it up. Will was the opening act in Huntsville, AL.
    2 great bands together.

    It seems like those are the only DBT songs he has been consistently playing live lately.

    I've been starting out with Rockin' In The Free World...doing the verse, then switching up to Never Gonna Change for the chorus.

    Danko/Manuel is an easy one to play. I can't play guitar very well, but once I found the tab for it, it was really easy to figure out.
    "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.

    It was the first time that I had seen Danko live...so, it was a treat. :D

    Interesting that him and Will are switching spots each night...the crowd was bigger for the opener last night.

    You're in luck then...those three songs are pretty easy.

    Check on the tabs for Goddamn Lonely Love and Never Gonna Change...there are a few changes here and there but, for the most part, they're easy to play too.
