It will be rescheduled soon. Sucks, but will be worth the wait. Speedy recovery to Patterson!

listening to night 2, solid, seems like a great way for the band to really refine all the Cooley and Tucker repertoire. Love the new arrangements on Cottonseed and I’m Sorry Houston. Thanks for posting the Archive.org links, this is a rarity, just the same, get well Patterson, it’s strange to hear a Truckers show without your voice.

Both nights were incredible. Luckily there were tapers there to document the shows. Cooley and the rest of the band really stepped up, even if it was partially with the help of Jack Daniels. Night 1, the band was visibly nervous going in, but steadied themselves and brought an amazing show. Highlights definitely included pulling a lucky fan out of the crowd to sing with the band.

Night 2 was just as good, but a lot smoother. Despite them never using a setlist, they still seemed to know where they were going with the show–complete control.

Not sure of what his name was, but one of the guitarists from Bloodkin played both nights with DBT, presumably playing Hood’s guitar parts. He definitely is owed part of the success of the shows.
