DBT @ the 40 Watt, 1/16-17, Athens, GA

Let's just say I was very excited to see some Truckers. The only other time I'd seen them was at Athfest in 2007. I felt I needed a 40 Watt experience and I got one.

Some backstory. Within the last two years I've come to really like DBT. For the longest time I couldn't stand them. I just couldn't get past the twang in their voices. Plus I've never like southern rock. But after watching a live DVD and coming to be grateful of southern heritage, I became hooked. I have my old friend Jason to thank for not letting up in getting me to like DBT.

Anyway, the shows were quite good. And loud. God, was it loud. The 40 Watt may be a cultural icon for Athens but it's not that great of a concert venue. In fact, I think it sucks. But it's got cheap stovepipe PBRs so I can't complain too much.
