The Album Review Club - Christmas Break Until 8th January

Now for the big musical news of the weekend...

Last night was the first night of the Drive-By Truckers' Southern Rock Opera Revisited Tour that kicked off in Indianapolis, IN.

Of course the setlist was pretty much going to (mostly) follow the album tracks like Rush did when they performed "Moving Pictures" start to finish that I quite enjoyed seeing years ago.

A few twists are present as seen in the below, including their new song on Spotify released yesterday: "Mystery Song - 2024 Mix".

For a few months now I've been debating on this show indoors vs. Gary Clark, Jr., also in town for the same night at an outdoor venue. However with DBTs' 28 songs vs. GCJr's 16 songs and my slight lean to the DBTs and the good chance to see them up close again as I did a few years ago, I think last night's setlist with this album always the focus was the clincher. 2 great selections each off of American Band and English Oceans is also a major bonus in my book.

I hope the DBTs can make it over to the UK at some point after this mostly US tour (1 in Toronto) for those of you who want to see them to be able to. I'm feeling pretty fortunate to see them this upcoming Thursday night. As an altered take on the famous song "Women Without Whiskey", "DBTs are hard to beat".


Must be nearly 10 years (jeez, where does the time go?) since I saw DBT live and I have cut back on gig going but I hope they will bring this tour to the UK.

Mine won't change based on what you submitted, but I will wait just the same as there's others still to go. I think I've had a few pegged early, and others have been pretty tough as Coatigan and I discussed a few pages back.

They have been locked in since Friday, and yes, based on that, I hope you got a few of them correct. ;-)
