The first two nights of Deer Tick’s tenth anniversary run at the Brooklyn Bowl saw the band perform a pair of classic albums in their entirety, starting with NRBQ’s Tiddlywinks on Friday night. During that show, the band welcomed out special guest Marshall Crenshaw following the album performance for his own “Someday, Someway” and Deer Tick’s “Trash.” Following a cover of Paul Anka’s “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore,” the band launched into “Ashamed” and performed their debut album War Elephant in its entirety throughout the second set.

December 27 saw the group start the night off with Lou Reed’s 1972 album Transformer. Throughout the set, the band would be joined by Sharon Van Etten, who led vocals on “Perfect Day,” Ian Felice and Robert Ellis on “Walk on the Wild Side” and Patrick Stickles on “I’m So Free.” The second set would be comprised of Deer Tick originals.

Last night at Brooklyn Bowl, the band reconvened to play The Beatles’ Meet the Beatles! with several guests including Tommy Stinson of The Replacements and Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes. Goldsmith handled vocals on “Don’t Bother Me” while James Felice added accordion to “Little Child.” Stinson joined in later in the set for the closing “Not a Second Time.”

Following the performance, Goldsmith hung around for a performance of some Middle Brother material, a group he was in with Deer Tick’s John McCauley and Delta Sprit’s Matt Vasquez. McCauley and Goldsmith performed “Thanks for Nothing,” “Daydreaming,” “Million Dollar Bill” and “Middle Brother.” Stinson also reappeared later in the set for “The Kids Are Alright” and “Not a Moment Too Soon” before the entire ensemble closed the show with “Goodnight Irene.”

Deer Tick returns to the Brooklyn Bowl tonight for a full set of Devo’s Q: Are We Men? A: We Are Devo! as well as a set of their originals.
