Not so much "left"....

was she "asked to leave"??

No, it was her own decision to leave.

[ALady]

Glad to hear that's the case.  The rumor mill can be cruel...

[Tired Eyes]

Cooley solo show in Birmingham going on right now.

incredible! caught the tail end of Night 1 last night, tonight was ready and waiting at 9.

[MrWhippy]

Really fun three-night DBT stand in DC, and fun to see Penny Lane, Tired Eyes, and through them get introduced to the DBT forum folks.  Dave Barbee fit in very nicely on bass, and brought a nice heaviness and crunch to their sound.

I was a little shocked, though, at how many repeats there were when the band must have known that many people were going to all three nights.  For example, i can't believe I just saw three DBT shows and didn't get to hear Uncle Frank, Guitar Man Upstairs, Dead Drunk and Naked, Nine Bullets, Bulldozers and Dirt, etc.  Cooley in particular repeated songs all three nights.

Maybe losing their bass player had to do with the smaller batch of songs that were played, but if so that feels a bit lazy on their part to not have worked up a bigger reperotire.  Their songs are fairly simple all in all, it's not like they are Porcupine Tree or something. 

Anyway, a great end to 2011.  I'm not sure if I will again be as fanatical about DBT as I was during the first half of the '00s, but they will always have a place in my heart and soul.

Great hanging with you, Jon! I thought David Barbe was always the 6th member, anyway...and  he slid in there nicely...feel the same way about Uncle Frank--but feel okay knowing i'll see it in a couple weeks down in Athens. Probably my favorite Cooley song after Zip City.

I needed that blow out weekend. What a fun crew and not to mention Lucero, J Roddy and Alabama Shakes rocking balz off...couldn't believe i rang in NYE with Booker T on keys, Brittany from the Shakes up there and Green Onions playing...Holy hell!

Knowing her, shouldn't be all that hard. Just scan the rail!  ;D

I think we got us a drinking game!  :D

[mahg33ta]

I will be logged in, for the hell of it.   Never seen DBT live in any form.   I'm hoping they also show the opener, Alabama shakes, a band I've been digging lately.

See you in the chatroom?

A tepid "maybe."  I owe Mrs. Yac some facetime, as I'll be at my Dad's watching the Pats/Broncs game.  Perhaps later.  Would love to see the Shakes, too.  Start time?

I'm enjoying the livestream. Alabama Shakes are tearing things up.

Definitely agree on both!   

Just wish we had some video. Really wanted to play the "find Penny" drinking game.  ;)

I'm thinking I'll be at the Saturday night show. Bobby Keys is opening for them. I'd like to see him and I've never seen DBT live.
