Drive-By Truckers

We're writing a group concert review this time.

The last time we saw DBT in Denver was a few years ago, but the memories still linger of a rollicking, good time that went on for hours while the band drank on stage.

This time, we went to the second of 2 nights that DBT was playing at the Ogden at the end of a bunch of tour dates before they head back to Georgia. They were mellower this time, but it's hard not to appreciate them because they won't quit and will always be interested in putting on a good show.

On Saturday, the Truckers kept things slow for about the first hour. The people in the back by the bar were singing along and dancing to the lovely "Everybody Needs Love" but we were itching to be at a rock show. So it was great when the band revved up for "Birthday Boy," "Drag the Lake Charlie" and "Get Downtown" before things slowed back down. (R. was at the show Friday night too and was surprised DBT didn't keep the tempo up.) But Saturday was more of a journey.

As expected, the encore kept going and going, but we figured DBT was fixin' to have us leave once they started playing "Angels and Fuselage."

If you missed it, someone put a vid up on YouTube:
