Hey readers – it’s Ryan. I will now be covering stuff around Denver/Boulder, CO as that’s where I’ve moved. You probably didn’t care or need any explanation.
So I’ve been a fan of Drive By Truckers for less time than I probably should’ve. I’ve seen them a few times plugged in, a couple of times drunk, and now finally – acoustic. They played on Sunday, 4/19/15 at the Boulder Theater in the similarly mentioned city. Without an opener, DBT took the stage around 9pm and greeted the near capacity crowd, beers in hand, smiles plastered across their faces.
This isn’t the first tour they’ve done acoustic, and I certainly hope it isn’t the last. They played songs from nearly their entire discography. Personal favorites of mine aside, I would say The Living Bubba and Love Like This would have to have been the highlights of the night for me (though they’re also two of my favorite DBT songs). As per usual with these guys, the only break they took from rocking my ass off was for the encore.
The only thing that could’ve potentially made the night any more enjoyable is if Jason Isbell would’ve come out and sat in for a couple of songs, though that’s probably never going to happen.
