Wow the Old 97s rock the stage!

[tigereye]

Great show tonight, and for free! Great lyrics, great hooks, great showmanship!



Rhett Miller is disgustingly hot - even though I'm old enough to be his mom! :hide:

[tigereye]

5. Lighting director?

they have quite a lot of shows on the tour....



I'd never seen em before, and I love Miller's songs. The band was excellent.

[Phillycat]

14. Yes.

He's really enjoying the tour - they're really nice guys, apparently.

2. I love them.

GOPisEvil and I saw them last 4th of July at the Willie Nelson Family Picnic. The lineup was Amos Lee, Old 97s, Drive By Truckers, Son Volt, and Willie. Awesome show - all of them!

3. nice line up!

I love Son Volt and Wilco...



It was a great time.

4. I HATE YOU!!!

I love the 97s. Would give my left nut, if I had one, to go see them in concert.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM! I'm so jealous!

6. we get a lot of free shows here since we have a great alternative radio station!

I'd never seen em before, and they get a lot of play over the years on this station.


I am sorry you weren't here, Maddy! Feel free to visit Pittsburgh any time! from what I saw of their tour schedule, they were playing everywhere, so you might get your chance soon!

:hi:


I think Rhett Miller is so sexy, but the rest of the band wasn't too bad, either. The lead guitar player is excellent.

[Maddy McCall]

7. I'll have to check their schedule, then!

Wow...how lucky are y'all to get free concerts...

And yes, Rhett is sexy with a capital-S. Yummy, delicious sexy.

I bet GOPisEvil will chime in on this thread. He's seen them several times in Austin at clubs, if I recall correctly. I started a thread several years ago, when I first heard them (They were on the radio--their song "The New Kid") and he said that a lot of their older albums are better than their newer stuff.

Hope he posts in your thread.

10. Madrone did up above..

I like the songs from Rhett's solo The Instigator, like Point Shirley, The El and 4 eyed-girl. I enjoyed listening to the EL last time I was in Chicago!


His songs are really fun to sing along with in the car.

8. They're a great band...

never heard them before I got XM 4 years ago. They play them a lot on Ch. 12 X-Country. Their older stuff is really great.

9. Where are they playing?

I just hooked up my daughter's band to record with the guy who did their last CD, Salim Nourallah/Pleasantry Lane.

[tigereye]

13. check the link in the OP for upcoming shows -

that guy recorded a local singer from a popular band here, as well.

I haven't heard the new CD so I don't know what the recording sound is like....


What kind of band does your daughter have?

The recordings are admittedly more than a bit rugged, but you'll get the idea.
