Drive-By Truckers Tickets

There's a reason why these guys are known for their live shows. The only negative was the absence of "Ronny and Neil" and, more shockingly, "Zip City" from the setlist. DBT not playing "Zip City" is like Springsteen not playing "Born to Run." Only other issue was it took the guy on the soundboard about half the show before he finally got Mike Cooley's mic mixed loud enough so that you could hear him.

Always a good show with Patterson & Cooley banging out the tunes. Drive By Truckers sound good where ever they put on a show.

DBT and the venue were great in regards to the music and show. Drink prices were astronomical. Small cup mostly ice. Bottom of the barrel liquor was 8 and top shelf 14.

I am not a fan of the Truckers, but don't hate them either. I went to this event with a friend. I found the venue to be not overly crowded and the temperature was kept down low even though it was a sweltering night outside. I always hate when you are sandwiched in front to back and the place is a sweat shop. The Norva was not that at all on this particular night. The sound was abysmal. The crash cymbals and the rhythm guitar were too high. The vocals were too low and everything was getting lost in the middle. The end result was what felt like a wave of sound coming at you at all times. There were no highs and lows, nor was there anything distinct, just noise. Everyone that we went with, about 5 of us, said the same thing. The sound was way off. It's a shame.

This was my first DBT concert, I met a couple for whom this one made 42 total! And I can sure understand why! The band was just awesome, they are truly rockers. I will definitely watch for their next show somewhere nearby, and would highly recommend becoming familiar with the songs beforehand, because the lyrics are so good it really adds to the experience to know the words to the songs. Every band member put a ton of energy into the show, must give extra credit to the awesome drummer! My advice: buy some DBT CDs, get to know them if you don't already, and look for the next concert, you won't be disappointed!

I've only seen the truckers one other time and it was electric in more than one use of the word. I wanted more of that, so I was a little disappointed when I found out the tickets I had bought was to be for an acoustic show. Man was I ever wrong! This two set show was absolutely amazing!, Even better then the electric show I had seen. All of these musicians are so talented and played so tightly together.The sound was so clean. It sounded like a studio recording session. And these guys have such amazing voices and such killer songwriting. I also like how they told stories in between songs about how the songs came to be, it added a personal touch. The show would make for a great unplugged video. f you ever get a chance to see them acoustic don't miss the opportunity! This was a seatedevent, so I was worried that the boys didn't feel like they were getting their respect they were due. But at the end of the show everyone went nuts!

If you like to know the exceedingly boring details of how a song came about then this group is for you. I guess they don't get it that "you had to be there". The original songs were hard to differentiate from each other (except for the lead-in story). The only song that the crowd seemed to "get into" was elton's Benny and the Jet.......otherwise, very quiet. The theater was surprisingly empty at show time and the 30 minute delay to the start was evidently in hope of more walk ups. The fundamental music concept is questionable.....mixing was off as a piercing organ drowned out everything else, guitar leads were lost in the noise, the bass went in and out. Both vocalists had interesting voices, too bad they are wasted on poor song writing.

They played really well and the crowd was both enthusiastic and full of energy, but I only recognized a couple of songs. I have 5 of the their albums. Nothing from The Big To Do, really? Maybe that is why the small theatre was only 1/2 full. The crowd was into it though. I guess I am just a casual fan of theirs.

Any performance at the State Theater is a good time. DBT is a gang of very talented musicians, and possibly some of the most prolific songwriters of this era. A blend that is sure to please. I don't know anything about Eric Church, but his crowds are experiencing DBT as the opening act as they ramble about performing solo shows in between their arena appearances. DBT is known to glorify (rightfully so) some of their southern rock heros, tonight they came on stage and mentioned all of our Michigan rock icons, tearing into a spectacular and well received version of Alice Cooper's "18" to start the show. Fresh and fun. Good time.

This was a great show. The venue should be a success. The music made for a wonderful evening!

It was as good as a rock show gets. Each night it gained a little more momentum until they finally had to leave the stage at 1:55 Sunday morning because of the 2 am curfew. They'd have kept playing if they'd been allowed. That's the attitude of this band and that is why they are the best live show today (and have been for about the last 12 years).

I have seen many concerts over the years and this one undoubtedly one of the best. Every member of the band is so talented and the amount of energy they had was unbelievable!

A great band and a fun crowd. Our original seats were not the greatest and I moved up to the front where there was a whole section of empty seats until a very bitter and angry older woman (usher) gave me the boot. We then moved behind our assigned seats to another emptyish section. While dancing and enjoying the show from there, a gentleman and his wife came up to us and gave us tickets to seats up in the section (one row closer) that I had just been sitting in. The fans around us were awesome and a great time was had by all!!!

DBT delivered a great show as expected. Perfect venue for those guys to play and they didn't disappoint. Also really enjoyed Houndmouth, who opened up the show. If you've never been to the Filmore Charlotte, you got to check it out. Head next door to the VBGB for some great beer and grub before, then enjoy a great show.

I wasn't super familiar with their catalogue in that I am recent fan to this band and style of music, but that didn't matter one bit...it was awesome. They rocked my face off. The venue-- the Fillmore Charlotte is an awesome venue.

Greatest band on the planet ... DBT ... at the Ryman Theater ... nothing more needs to be said.

I've seen the Truckers numerous times since the late 90's. This was the greatest show of all for me. From the set list, to the amazing atmosphere of the Ryman Auditorium, everything was perfect.

Started off with a bang and just kept rocking all night.

Houndmouth was incredible...3rd time seeing them and even better. Left 4th song into Drive by Truckers, horribly boring. We left along with about 20 others.

The Truckers rocked the Mother Church of Country Music!! Loved the show, Loved the music!!
