Movie Reviews of Drive By Truckers - Dirty South - Live at the 40 Watt
Movie Review: a masterpiece, albeit slightly flawed
Summary: 5 Stars
Over the last year, I have become a huge DBT fan and have most of their CD's (including "Live at Austin.") Despite some tepid reviews seen here, it is no exagerration to say that it is one of THE best live concerts I have ever seen (in person or recorded). Let's get the downsides out of the way now: The lighting is mostly miserable. You feel that the club (the 40 Watt) got its name because the lighting consists of some guy in the rafter using a 40 watt bulb. The upside is that you can bet this was the same lighting the audience had to deal with, so at least the DVD gives you a "club feel." Also, on the strengths of the Austin and 40 Watt concerts, I think it's safe to say that Patterson Hood teeters on the edge of self-indulgence, occasionally leaping, not stumbling over (It's not like I'm not a fan of Hood's..his new solo disc is great). An example of this would be the choice and execution of their final encore song, the old Jim Carroll song: "These Are People Who Died". First, most of us who are familiar with the original, thought that Carroll, an acknowledge poet, decided he wanted to be a rock star and wrote songs like this. I don't mind covers, but pick a worthy one. Hood's repition of "they f@#&in' died" about 6 times was both annoying and self-indulgent. Patterson, we got it the first time.
OK, the good stuff (and there's lots of it): Mike Cooley and Jason Isbell are the best guitar duo I have heard since Clapton and Allman during the "Layla" sessions. Equally gifted,in different. Although Cooley is spectactualar, Isbell is the star here. It's a credit to the band that they could sustain his loss (on guitar,vocals, and songwriting) and still be the superior band they are. Also, they are one of the tightest bands I've ever heard. It's ironic when they claim they never practiced, with Cooley chiming in, "If you want to break up a band, practice." Their harmonies were much more noticeable here, and the sound,in general was spot-on. I think that every live song bested the studio version. Lastly, it was obvious they were having a ball up there, and that's infectious to the viewer, even one seeing it on DVD.
In short, I can't imagine any true DBT fan not wanting to own this, especially because it's the only live performance with the incomparable Jason Isbell.
