Better late than never: I had a hell of a good time at the Drive-By Trucker’s show at the Opera House last Wednesday. They played for 2 1/2 hours (!) and their set list was pretty varied. They didn’t play all the songs I wanted to hear, but with Jason Isbell no longer in the band, that’s too be expected I guess.

That aside, the only song with their current line-up that they didn’t play that I wanted to hear was “Carl Perkin’s Cadillac”, but seeing as they played “Where the Devil Don’t Stay”, “Sink Hole” and “Shut Up and Get Your Ass on the Plane” I guess I can forgive them that.

Not to harp too much on songs from The Dirty South, but a big highlight for me was “Putting People on the Moon”, which I think is one of Patterson Hood’s best songs.

And, of course, no DBT set is complete without Hood’s tale of ’70′s southern rock adventures in “Let There Be Rock”.

A DBT fansite posted the set list of last week’s show. I think it’s a bit jumbled but I could be wrong:

1. The Living Bubba
2. A Ghost To Most
3. Two Daughters and A Beautiful Wife
4. Daddy Needs A Drink

6. I’m Sorry Huston

9. Puttin’ People On The Moon
10. Self Destructive Zones
11. The Company I Keep
12. Hell No, I Ain’t Happy
13. Checkout Time In Vegas
14. You and Your Crystal Meth
15. Goode’s Field Road
16. Women Without Whiskey
17. The Opening Act
18. Where The Devil Don’t Stay
