Saw The Dandy Warhols at the Gov in Adelaide last weekend.Great show, great venue, packed house, crowd eating it up and easy to get a beer without missing a thing. Had a ball.

Went and saw Tedeschi Trucks a few weeks ago at the Palais. My old girl Snuppers likes them and a couple of our friends love them, so off we all went together.
I enjoyed it. I’m not really the biggest fan of bluesy rock. Tend to find it all a bit samey. Too much slide guitar, yokely lyrics and such. But Derek Trucks is an amazing guitarist and Sue has an amazing voice and is pretty handy on the guitar herself. Both are very talented.
The sound was good - as you’d expect in the awesome Palais - and they played really well.
Interestingly though Snuppers said to me afterwards that it was a bit repetitive and the long solos by Derek on most songs got a bit tiring. “Could he at least use a different guitar every now and then ?” Hah hah hah. But like me she still enjoyed it just the same.
Pleasant, enjoyable but probably don’t need to see again. Not really my thing.
Aficionados of the band and that style of music would have loved it, I’ve got no doubt.
Note: I watched some You Tube clips on Derek and the band days after and he seems a really good guy. Very humble and well grounded.
