Drive-By Truckers "Live From Austin" = A Great New CD/DVD Co
Gary Covington | Louisiana | 07/10/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a review of the DVD portion of this new CD/DVD combo. THIS IS A VERY WELCOME NEW RELEASE FROM THE DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS. I loved their previous DVD "Live at the 40 Watt" filmed in Athens, Georgia, a few years back. Now, this release, this is an outstanding 13 song, concert DVD, that was filmed for the award winning Austin City Limits TV Show. It was filmed on September 26, 2008. It has an approximate running time of 82 minutes. Its GREAT from beginning to end!!!!



This concert DVD showcases some of their classic songs, plus some new songs from their recent album CD - "Brighter Than Creation's Dark".



The Drive-By Truckers are legendary for telling great stories, either, just by telling the story itself, or by telling the story through song. They certainly continue that GREAT story telling legacy in this DVD/CD Combo.



Most of the Drive-By Truckers band members, are from the Muscle Shoals, Alabama area. Their music is played in a genuine "Southern Rock" Style.



The line-up consists of the following:

Patterson Hood - Guitar, Vocals

Mike Cooley - Guitar, Vocals

Brad Morgan - Drums

Shonna Tucker -Bass, Vocals

John Neff - Guitar, Pedal Steel

Jay Gonzalez - Keyboards



The song set is as follows: (Note - ALL these songs are originals, written by the Drive-By Truckers, themselves.)

1.Perfect Timing

2.Heathens

3.A Ghost to Most

4.The Righteous Path

5.I'm Sorry Huston (Sung by Shonna)

6.3 Dimes Down

7.Puttin' People on the Moon

8.Space City

9.The Living Bubba (Patterson introduces the song by telling a great story about the man he is singing about, in this song)

10.Zip City

11.18 Wheels of Love - (Here you get an "Over-the-Top" 11 minute version of this great song. It contains a great, great story!!!)

12.Let There Be Rock - (This is their classic song, not ACDC's. It's a story that goes somewhat like this, "I never saw Lynyrd Skyrnyd(the original version), but I sure saw Molly Hatchet, the Johnny Van Zant Band, and ACDC with Bon Scott singing 'Let There Be Rock'"). Its a great story song.

13.Marry Me.



In summary, this is an EXCELLENT DVD/CD Combo by the Drive-By Truckers. If you are familiar with this band, you'll love every minute of this DVD/CD Combo. Even if you're not familiar with this band, if you like Rock & Roll, you'll love every minute of this combo also. This is a GREAT one, and I highly, gladly recommend it!!! Thanks, and Enjoy!!!!



P.S. The CD contains the exact same songs as the DVD, however, they edited out some of the story telling, in between songs, like the story about the "Living Bubba". It does contain the great story and full length version of the fantastic "18 Wheels of Love". Overall, its a great "Live" CD!!! Thanks, again!!!!

Hell was raised once again in Austin, TX

"I have say, it is tough for DBT to mess something up. Their hillbilly-rockabilly scene in the southeastern/southwestern United States is un-parallel in talent. If you are looking for cutting edge music look no further. This CD/DVD combo gives a great interpretation of what DBT is all about. I have followed them since Gangstabilly to Brighter Than Creation's Dark. This cd/dvd is a hybrid of samples from Cooley and Hood in their true form. The setlist is obscure but delightful. "A Ghost To Most", "Marry Me", "Zip City", "Space City", and "Three Dimes Down" are quintessential Cooley songs that epitomize the Northern Alabamian's style and draw. Hood comes and rocks out on his opener "Heathens" and highlights the album with the extended version of "18 Wheels of Love", elaborating on the ongoing epic tale of "Jan and Chester." "Puttin' People on the Moon" and "The Living Bubba" are mainstays on the Hood playlist that are deserving of every opportune time of playing. I would recommend on getting this album to anyone who is in for a delightful evening and an eye-opening experience to good music in this era of MTV. The Truckers offer a talent that is unseen by people who are brainwashed by the modern media."

"This puppy was shot in high definition widescreen video, and DTS HD 5.1 for the audio ! MAGNIFICENT !!! ALL 5 channels get a workout, and unlike some concert DVDs, the rear channels are actually used ! John Neff's slide or lead in the left, Cooley's lead in the right...a damn fine surprise when you love surround AND The Truckers AND DTS as much as I do. BUY IT !!!"
