They're not as good live as you'd expect.

Not terrible but still a dissapointment

Yeah I already had a feeling it was gonna be loud and drown out any kind of vocals.

Serious question-- does Patterson Hood even know how to play guitar?

Last time I saw them, Patterson had a broken arm. I've never had a problem hearing the vocals in the mix and I've usually had an absolute blast seeing them, though I will admit it was better when Isbell was still in the band. They played Fort Worth this week but I didn't go because of the little Mowgli.

But anyone else see the irony of The Doc trolling the hell out of multiple DBT threads but being the same guy who is forever getting his knickers in a twist whenever anyone dares say something bad about a Varsity show? People have different tastes, get over it.

Hope you had a good time. I've always had a blast seeing them, especially once Mike Cooley is a half bottle in.

Never had an issue with the vocals either, and I've seen them a ton of times at a variety of venues.

Was a good show lastnight - mostly older tunes. Only 2 songs off gogo boots and big to do total. The rest was heavy on southern rock opera and decoration day. Could tell jay was still getting used to filling in for the recently departed John neff who joined shonnas new band.


One of the best setlists I've seen out of them on a long time but seemed a little more stiff than normal. Good show overall.

What the hell?

I just don't like DBT and find them boring.

And there's a bunch of shows that the varsity books that I'm not into so I don't get your point at all.

That's kind of a shame. The last two albums were recorded in the same sessions, and I think if they cut the chaffe, you could make arguably their strongest album with the best cuts. They just should have edited a little better and left some songs on the cutting room floor. But stuff like This fricking Job and Cartoon Gold are among the best things they've ever done. And I'll admit, Drag the Lake Charlie cracks me up.

i think thats a fair take - i loved tracks but didnt love the albums. They were recorded together, and released as the two seperate records, as you said...

i like go go boots a lot more than big to do, although i always enjoyed birthday boy and a few others off big to do a ton. they walked out of that session with the potential for 1 great album, about an album and a half of good enough tracks, and unfortunately put out two full albums. i think especially with some of the gogo boots stuff - until they replace neff and have a slide guitar and jay back on keys we wont hear a ton of that live.

Show was great... but I'd agree...

I guess I need to catch Cooley solo to get this stuff...

Fight me but every song Cooley played was great but "Get Downtown" is my least favorite Cooley track ever.

I don't know how much I like the rotation between Patterson-Cooley song in and song out. Seems kind of predicatable, especially the first 3 songs of the encore. The last jam, Patterson rocked.

Agree.

Too many $3 rolling rocks.
