Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit Live in Concert

Jason Isbell was born into a musical family in Green Hill, Alabama, in 1979. His grandfather and uncle taught him to play various musical instruments, and the young musician started playing the mandolin when he was just 6. Destined for a life in the spotlight, he joined the Drive-By Truckers in 2001 at the age of 22. Isbell was a member of the Drive-By Truckers for six years before cutting out for a solo career. He released his first solo album, Sirens of the Ditch, in 2007. Some of his most notable work began when he assembled a group of musicians that would become known as The 400 Unit. The group consists of Sadler Vaden  of Drivin' N Cryin' on guitar, Jimbo Hart on bass, Derry deBorja on keyboards and accordion, Chad Gamble on drums and Isbell's wife Amanda Shires on fiddle. The 400 Unit is playfully named after the psychiatric ward of Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital in Florence, Alabama. Isbell and the band's first collaboration resulted in the release of the self-titled album Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit in 2009. In 2011, the collaboration continued with the release of Here We Rest. The track "Alabama Pines" was named Song of the Year at the 2012 Americana Music Awards. The Nashville Sound was released in 2017, winning the Grammy Award for Best Americana Album, with Isbell winning an additional Grammy Award for Best American Roots Song. In 2020, the group released Reunions, with the song "Be Afraid" hitting No. 5 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart. During the November 2020 election, Isbell announced he would make a charity album if Joe Biden won the state of Georgia. When this came to pass, Isbell worked to release the cover album Georgia Blue the following year. The album was a collaboration by various artists, and Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit contributed a cover of the Metallica song "Sad But True." Isbell has won four Grammy Awards between 2001 and 2007.

    Jason Isbell and 400 Unit at Radio City

    by Descher on 2/27/24Radio City Music Hall - New York

    JI is my current favorite artist. His extraordinary song writing speaks for itself. Combined with the absolute brilliance of the 400 unit, and the fact that this show was in the iconic RCMH, the expectations were very high. Aimee Mann was a great opener. I have been a fan of hers for about 40 years! Despite her drummer missing the gig, she was phenomenal. The obvious connection to JI is her deeply personal lyrics over fine musicianship. JI took the stage at about 9:15. The band was blazing. Early soaring highlight was King of Oklahoma. It dripped intensity and emotion, and the warmth of the audience singing along created a very cool atmosphere. The audience for JI knows his music, and it is remarkable that in between songs there was no audience noise. The crowd is fully engaged. After the big electric start, the band went back and forth between his acoustic classics, and blazing southern rock. This is a band that has great fame for the tender classics like Strawberry Woman, Alabama Pines, Cast Iron Skillet, and super hits If We Were Vampires and Cover Me Up. This was mixed with 24 Frames, Overseas, Decoration Day and new scorcher This Ain’t It. If you know about Jason, you know. If you don’t it’s simple. If you think there is no new good music, and you love old CSNY or The Band, or The Allman Bros and Grateful Dead, you owe it to yourself to check out Jason. He is on the road to absolute legend

    An Amazing Night

    by Rich H. on 2/27/24Radio City Music Hall - New York

    Jason Isbell is one of our country's best singer-songwriters. He is also a dynamic performer. The band was on fire this night. Every song is wrought with emotion. The musicianship pitch-perfect. A fantastic event. Highly recommend grabbing a ticket when Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit roll into your town. You will not be disappointed.

    Mind blown

    by MrBredal on 2/27/24Radio City Music Hall - New York

    The vocals were crystal clear over very loud music. Bass was full but not overwhelming. Staff of Radio City were helpful and courteous. Jason and the band's performance was stellar. Special kudos to Aimee Mann for putting on her show in light of losing her drummer to illness just prior to the show.

    Well worth the trip

    by Audio Jack on 2/27/24Radio City Music Hall - New York

    Never seen Aimee Mann before so that was fun even if her drummer was in the hospital. Never seen Jason Isbell live before either but it was a great show. The set was well constructed to pace through a portion of his catalogue. The band left room for all musicians to showcase their skills. Great sounding mix with great balance in a very nice venue.

    AMAZING!!

    by cam92460 on 2/27/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    This was my 4th JI400U concert and it was the best one yet. It was scorching hot, but also emotionally heartbreaking. The big burly guy next to me was in tears for most of the show. I'm not much of a crier, but man it was raw. Highly recommend seeing these folks if you can. The Met was a great place to see a show, and the sound was excellent for Jason and crew; unfortunately, the sound for Aimee Mann was pretty muddy, at least up in the Loge.

    Phenomenal!

    by Tracy C on 2/26/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    One of my favorite concerts of all time! Performed for 2 hours and his songs, singing, musical talent - is off the charts. I've been a long time fan and to finally see him live exceeded expectations. Loved seeing Aimee Mann too!

    Pretty good

    by Big Fan on 2/26/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    Great show with many new album songs and several older hits. This was my 4th time seeing Jason and the 400 Unit. Jason’s voice was clearly shot. He had trouble hitting some notes and sounded strained at points. Still a great show, just not the best I’ve seen him.

    Outstanding

    by Russ on 2/26/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    I've seen Jason & the 400 Unit about a half dozen times (plus when he was in DBT's) and this might have been Jason at his absolute best. He and Sadler Vaden were on fire with their dueling guitar solos. The top end of Jason's voice was a bit shot -- high notes seemed to give him difficulty, I assume from either being on the road or a cold -- but that did not detract at all from a stellar performance.

    A Great Artist and Venue

    by Mary Ellen on 2/26/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    Now is the time to see Jason Isbell. Both his song writing and guitar playing are one for the ages. The Philly Met was a beautiful venue, great sound and seating set up. Lucky M.E.

    Isbell never disappoints

    by Pete K. on 2/26/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    Second time seeing Jason Isbell and 400 Unit at the Met. Initially, this is a great venue. Sound quality, sight lines, comfort and really cool aesthetics make it a great place to see a concert. Isbell was once again awesome. He’s one of the greatest lyricists of this era, and his and his band’s music playing is excellent.

    Great Show, Poor Timing

    by ThicketDan on 2/26/24The Met Presented by Highmark - Philadelphia

    If the show is listed for 8 pm, don't have the opener go on before 8 pm.
