    To me "The Dirty South" is their masterpiece that just album blows me away everytime i put it in. SRO being the second followed by DD. DD is great I just don't understand why people seem to like that the best and again don't get me wrong I absolutely love outfit, my sweet annette, and such I just find myself skipping through songs the most on that album. I'm not sure how ABAAC ranks up to the others yet but I'm loving it right now. Can't wait to see the truckers with the crowes in va beach.

    OK, I didn't keep a setlist but here's some of what we got last night:

    Opened up with Heathens, and then in no particular order: Marry Me, Decoration Day, Outfit, Feb 14th, Space City, Gravitys Gone, Aftermath U.S.A., Wednesday, Ronnie & Neil, Women Without Whiskey, Easy on Yourself, Let there Be Rock, and closed with World of Hurt and Lookout Mountain. I'm sure I missed a bunch but it was a great show. The few songs I would have like to have heard were Dress Blues, ZIP City, Living Bubba, and People Who Died. But theres always next time...
    "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.

    You can't go wrong with a concert that includes Women without Whiskey and Lookout Mountain........I suspect that Wednesday is a treat to hear live :D

    Sorry about the double post. 4 hours of sleep will do that to you.

    Got to talk to Shonna for a bit after the show too. One of the guys I went with is related to her. Very cool and down to earth.

    The whole show was great, no one particular highlight, although I would have loved to hear something off Gangstabilly. Patterson was in great form, you can tell he is living his dream up on stage. He's definately the center of the live show. He dedicated 'Let There Be Rock' to his 15 mo. old daughter, who just said her first curse word.

    That's flippin' sweet.

    People Who Died brought the house down when I saw them...I would have liked to see Zip City too.

    I've let you down boys...

    It came down to a decision: Do I spend my money on DBT tickets at the HOB, or do I see my beloved Brewers a few times this weekend while they are here in L.A.

    Baseball won out. I'll catch DBT next time around, but I didn't see my Brewers at all last year, and the schedule worked out perfectly... and I love my baseball...

    Agreed. Their live show is unreal. Great musicians...check out ABAAC...it's great.

    There's part of me that keeps thinking: PJ and DBT tour the south when PJ gets back from the land of Ausies...

    I know MMJ is getting favorable reviews from PJ fans, but I just gotta believe DBT would blow the roof off the opening set...

    Jason's got a new song he's playing live a lot called 'Dress Blues.' It's about a kid from his high school who died in Iraq.

    Yeah... that song is sick...

    Regardless of your political beliefs on the situation in Iraq, THAT SONG is a wonderful tribute to the men and women who die fighting for this country... and it should be shared...

    It's one of those instant classic songs...lots of emotion and imagery in that tune.

    Don't know if this has been posted, but my co-worker sent me this link today:

    http://blueroom.att.com/mainstage/index.php

    Go to the interview section and there is a piece with Jason and Patterson.

    I just got the link, so I haven't even watched it yet.

    Totally agree with this, and after all these years of PJ bringing out the opening act for encores, I can just imagine how fucking killer it would be to have PJ and DBT do a few songs together...

    Yeah, I'd love to see a PJ/DBT tour. How could Ed not help out on Lookout Mountain, Let there be Rock, Ronnie and Neil, or even Buttholeville?
