re: I hear David Allan Coe concerts suck. Any truth to that?

Any DAC concert experiences?

Yes......At Texas Club about 5-6 years ago. He came on about 9 ish I reckon. He had a handle of Jack Daniels in his hand and poured himself some in a cup (yes a plastic cup) when he got to the mic. He talked for a good 5 minutes before his first song and by the end of those 5 minutes had finished 3 cups of straight Jack which equated to about a third of the handle I'd say.

He played 2 songs in about 20 minutes. IIRC one of them was Tennessee Whiskey (irony I know). By the time those two songs were over he was loaded. His third song was a song that I don't think anyone knew....I know I had never heard it and I figured I had heard every DAC song by that point in my life at least once. He slurred his way through it and when it was over people were kind of like OK. I mean people cheered but it was noticeably less loud than the first 2 songs.

This pissed him off. He lectured the crowd for about 10-15 minutes which elicited some boos from the drunks in there. That pissed him off.....he told everyone in the Texas Club to F Off, flipped everyone off, walked off stage and didn't come back.

Everyone there paid like 50ish buck for a 45 minute concert that consisted of 2 songs that were relatively understandable. The natives were restless. I don't think TC refunded any money. If they did I never heard about it and didn't get mine or my dates back

Everyone was pissed....I thought it was pretty humorous to be honest with you.

Although I have heard people since then say he has put on decent shows at TC.
