These guys blew the roof off of the HOB. If you want dirty southern rock at its finest, check these guys out, they are not to be missed. Not only are they amazing at what they do, but you can tell that they are having the time of their lives doing it, which only enhances the experience for the audience.

They came out and played guitar, drums, etc. They also did some singing and such. People clapped after the songs were over. Maybe it was the beer but it was good.

Just plane fun band with so much diversity and influence in thier music. Every song seems to tell a unique story. Ballads to jams were tight and professional all the while the band seemed to be having a blast doing what they do. The mix on Shonna's songs was a little light on the vocals but other than that production was ideal. Crowd was rowdy and as the show progressed, fed off of Pattersons energy -or was it visa-versa?? If you only have studio material of DBT you are only getting 2/3 of the greatness - you HAVE to go see them live!
(The only bummer of the night was the food and service at the restaurant of HOB. It sucked pretty much top to bottom."Skippy" the 19 year old manager didn't help. Great venue for the music though)

best show I've been too. i went to hob the night be4 for franti/counting crows and the place was jammed packed and the music mediocre. Next night DBT was awesome. Their setlist touched on all their different works and they seemed like they were having as good a time as we were. Can't wait to see them again I damn near drove to Richmond for their next show.

The band calls it the "rock show," and once again Drive-By Truckers left fans feeling as though they had just spent two hours themselves putting on a full-blown, high-energy rock concert. With most attendees singing along to every song, Saturday's show at The National in Richmond delivered all it had promised.

Coming off back-to-back gigs in South Carolina and Georgia, Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley and gang showed no signs of being tired or worn-down. They hit the stage with a fury, after a much-inspired set by opening act Tift Merritt. Taking turns as usual, Hood and Cooley ripped through a setlist that included much of their recent album Brighter Than Creation's Dark, plus fan favorites from their extensive catalog. Merritt, showing an unexpected harder edge to her country-flavored setlist, joined the Truckers for a song midway throught the evening.

Known for delivering one of the most exciting shows in rock and roll today, once again the Truckers left it all onstage.

This was my first DBT show. We were sure to get up front as I didn't want to miss anything. They were so loud you couldn't understand the lyrics unless you knew the songs they were playing. I love these guy's no matter what. A few of my friends commented on Patterson hocking luggies on the front of the stage saying it was nasty but I didn't care. I wish I hadn't gotten quite so drunk because I don't remember many details. It was just great seeing them live. They look just like they do on-line. I'll see them anytime they come back close and I can afford it. The House of Blues is Awesome AND the show was VERY affordable. BEWARE of the stairs when you leave. lol

Not a big fan of Drive by Truckers. Lead singer very off key and music too loud to really understand words. Thought Tift Merritt was great. Never heard her before. Think we will be hearing lots more from this lady.

This was my first time seeing Drive By Truckers and it was a fantastic concert. Not only did they play a good variety of their music, they also played a few new songs for the audience's critique. An excellent performance.

This was my third time seeing a concert at The National Theatre in downtown Richmond. This converted orchestral music hall is a great venue for live music.

Drive By Truckers love Richmond, VA, and not only did Patterson Hood mention this from the stage, they showed as much with an almost 3 hour show covering both new material for their soon-to-be-released album, as well as old favorites. I remember towards the end of the second hour, turning to a friend of mine and telling him that I think we were seeing an epic show, and he nodded in agreement. People throw the word "epic" around a bit too generously these days, but in the case of the Drive By Truckers show in Richmond on August 22, 2009, EPIC was indeed the best single word that can be used to describe it.

Also, having seen Tift Merritt a couple of times before, it was neat seeing her playing to the rowdy crowd at the National where she could rock out. Great seeing her sit in with DBT during their set also. Great night of music in Richmond for sure.

Rock show was great. First time at the HOB in Myrtle BEach. Awesome venue. Arrived early and found a stool behind the sound board. Great spot. The opener Tift Merrit was great. Really enjoyed her songs, great band. DBT kept the show moving. Not many slower songs in the set like the last time I saw them. They kept the Jack flowing. All in all, It was a great rock show.

DBT rocked, as usual, and I was not disappointed. Got there early enough to get my standard standing place right in front and from their opening number to their 6 song encore, they jammed. This is the 6th time I have seen DBT, with 3 of those six being at the National, what a venue, you can't beat it. Would love to see DBT at National or Norva with Sons of Bill as the opening act.
