Jasons last show with the Drive by Truckers.The Living Bubba

[gonesavage]

Thanks for this video.  Was it known that night that it was his last show?

[patchouliskye]

@gonesavage ..... no it was not...we found out a couple days later.

You so call fans piss me off! You either love a band/artist, or you don't ! If your a fan, a true fan, of an artist, or band, the line up does'nt matter. Writing styles, playing styles, even the sound might morph a bit into different territory, and change a bit, but this is part of evolution of a band. And the comment to give this song or that song a rest, come on, that is B.S.! Go back to listening to your same ignorant BULLSHIT commercial crap. These songs are far to deep 4 your brain!

[reyrico1969]

I'm still bummed out about Jason leaving DBT. I still love DBT and they sound better than ever, but that was a killer lineup when they had Jason in the lineup.

[kilowattnc2]

I was there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kilowattnc2]

I was there!!!!!!!!!!!!

[outlawtorn31]

dbt sucks ass without isbell, he made the band

[ttraynor1]

Re: DBT with and/or without Jason: This band is STUFFED with talent IMO--and Jason flowed over the edge and out. Now Shonna shyly taking more of a songwriting role, and ALL guitarists can blaze pretty good. I love them--and Jason, too.

[ruseter84]

I was at this show ... I still say Isbell was to D-BT what taylor was to the stonz! Neff played with them while isbell was with them so you actually had 4 guitars on some song and his steel on others.

[Triumph100Rider]

Regarding Jason, we have to remember that with any DBT album he'd have 3 or 4 songs while w/ his solo albums he has 11 on each. Pick out your favorite 3 or 4 songs from each album and they stand up to everything he did with DBT. I think the song Sunstroke is about his marriage ending and leaving DBT. If that is true he probably would have eventually left, but I wonder if he left on his own terms.

[jtmoney606]

i love jasons new band there amazing don't know if it's as good as dbt but its pretty damn good that 400 unit new album is great!!!!

[steelybear]

I miss the days of DBT with Jason. They are not nearly as good without him, in my opinion. I still appreciate the hell out of them but it's not the same. Jason added that extra something they were needing. And as for "The Living Bubba" - it is time to retire that song. Give it a rest already. Every now and then is great to hear it: but every show - no thanks. Time to fill that slot with something else.

[dylanBPK]

DBT rocked before Jason, and is rockin fine without him.

how can you miss jason? hes on tour right now!

its a win win situation for the fans cause Jason's solo stuff is amazing! his replacement, John Neff, is a founding member of DBT and rules the slide.

[Hamburgers585]

honestly jason's solo stuff isnt as good as the stuff he did with DBT. his best song is "dress blues" in my opinion, id still go see him live but he plays "john henry" acoustically which just doesn't do it for me. its gotta be played on electric guitar.

[dylanBPK]

youre crazy...jasons solo act rocks! both albums are FULL of great tracks!

it doesnt matter how you think a song "should" be played...thats the artist's decision.

[Hamburgers585]

yeah? and i get to decide what i like and don't like....thats the listener's decision. calm down thats just my opinion it doesnt have to be yours but thanks for caring about it.

[olebrent]

I miss Jason too, superhaloaddict , they are still amazing, but I wish he were here..........

[superhaloaddict]

i was at that show it was mind blowing! i was right next to mike cooley. i miss jason

[themack22]

Ahhh. It's good to hear what it was like when the truckers sounded good. Jason is a beast on the guitar.

[WeMustBeStopped]

If anyone can enlighten me as to the back story behind this fucking incredible song...it took me forever to ascertain it was about a musician with HIV/AIDS ("...sick to my stomach from the AZT...") Is it just another brilliant narrative they concocted or is it based on a real individual? Thanks for posting, patchoulieskye

[patchouliskye]

Gregory Dean Smalley was a part of the redneck underground in the Atlanta area in the late 80's and 90's,he was the founder of Bubbabalooza and he died of HIV but he continued to perform until he passed away...doing over 200 shows the last year of his life...R.I.P Gregory.

[Tx18Wheels]

@WeMustBeStopped

Gregory Dean Smalley was a mainstay of the Georgia music scene in the 80's and 90's, playing in the Diggers, the Blacktop Rockets, The Wellsprings of Hope, and Whisper Garden not to mention his numerous solo shows. He was taken way too early from this world, and Patterson Hood wrote this song, "The Living Bubba," to honor our fine musician.

[fragilebeaster]

Why Jason left the band??

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

He left to pursue a solo career.

I guess not enough of the songs he wrote were ones the band wanted to play but he still had enough faith in them to release him on his own.

[yomommasbedbuddy]

please come back jason

[harmsd]

I'm pretty sure he wanted to release them on his own. Kinda do his own thing you know. His songs are in a different vein than Patterson's and Cooley's. They meshed well with Patterson's and Cooley's but, I think that DBT is still great without Jason, and Jason is making great music on his own. If either band comes within a hundred miles of where you live, you need to go see them!

[patchouliskye]

to go out on his own and make music with his own band ..you can find him under Jason Isbell and the 400 unit ..ck them out!

[reester12]

@patchouliskye also he was married to shawna and they seperated hope it goes great for you jason

[Fleagle]

His ex is their bassist. Patterson always knew Jason was a force to be reckoned with and that he would only be with them a short time anyway. You don't kick the righteous Shonna out just to keep Jason under those circumstances. It's how it's supposed to be. That's life. Kudos to Hood for seeing how it's gotta be. And rock on, Jason. You da man.

[toterola451]

That is a very adult way of analyzing this situation. I agree 100%. Excellent points.

[ebutouykcuf]

I love watching concert footage on mute :tard:

[ruseter84]

Didn't relize it but I was at Jason's last show on 31 Mar. You know he's playing in charleston New Years eve

[mvoils27]

i miss isabell....but they rock jsut fine without him

[dickcheney420]

I've been a fan for a while, and have seen a few changes, I'll miss him too (I've the same wine colored/pearl fender as him)

[chipdevourer]

there is absolutely no point of watching this.

the quality is shit.

[THEdbtman]

please stay over there or where ever you people come from

[dickcheney420]

Amen, if you ain't a fan, then this won't matter to you

and if you ain't a fan, you don't know

[blasstone]

«YEAH!!!!

[Fleagle]

That show was even more special than you realized at the time. I don't know if they played any more shows after this, but as of 4/6 Jason Isbell is no longer part of DBT.

[arcaspiff]

AWESOME!
