    I'm bumping this thread to remind myself that DBT is on Conan tonight.

    They'll be playing Aftermath USA.

    Was it only my shitty local station or did the network clip off the start of the song? I suspect it was my local station squeezing in some extra commercials because their election night coverage probably cost them some ad spots earlier in the evening.

    Great performance...............Stroker Ace was really cookin' at the end of the song. Damn, EZB looks like he belongs in ZZ Top or the cast of "The Ten Commandments." :)

    For some reason they never posted it on the page over at ninebullets, but there is a link in the forum:

  • Sure thing.
    I think it's the same as the one you posted, but...
    Good Neil's getting the word out.



    Looks like the Black Crowes tour ain't goin so well.
    They were seriously giving away free tickets to the show in Atlanta.

    And have already cancelled a number of dates.
    I'm gonna hold off on buying tickets to Philly for the Crowes (+ DBT, Robert Randolph...) if I can maybe get em free.

    Or go home to see them in Saratoga the next day

    Nowhere near a full house in Birmingham, Alabama..........in fact, Ticketbastard was offering "Buy three, get one free.." in the weeks prior to the show. They offered the same deal for Nine Inch Nails about a month earlier. Our outdoor venue is located in an overgrown section of town that makes it a bitch to get to on a weekday, which may explain some lackluster ticket sales for events there.

    Can't wait for Thanksgiving..........DBT's annual show in Birmingham!!!!!

    If nothing else...they're getting their name out there.

    It was a smaller venue in Nashville, but it was packed when I saw DBT back in February.

    Can't wait until they get back on their own and play some more 3 hour shows.

  • For anyone here on Facebook - made a global group (just allowable) called "Drive-By Truckers" so get in on the action over there too..

    That video was excellent - to steal a line from PBM, that Isbell guy can write a damn good song...
