Drive-By Truckers performed at The Fillmore in San Francisco, on Wednesday night. Ryley Walker sat in during the latter part of the show for “Angels and Fuselage.”
Wednesday night began with a taped recording of Sly & The Family Stone’s “Everyday People,” followed by the band breaking into “Slow Ride Argument” and “Santa Fe.” Next, they played a couple of fan-favorites, followed by full-bodied “Grievance Merchants.”
The single-set show continued with “Gravity’s Gone” off 2006’s A Blessing and a Curse, followed by “Hell No, I Ain’t Happy,” “Women Without Whiskey,” and “Plastic Flowers on the Highway.”
Next, Drive-By Truckers played a new number, “The Driver,” first performed on Feb. 5 at Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Okla., and continued with “Zip City,” “Tornadoes,” and “A Ghost to Most.”
The Athens, Ga. natives then performed “Marry Me” before breaking into a cover of the Ramones’ “The KKK Took My Baby Away,” followed by “Let There Be Rock” and “Surrender Under Protest.”
Ryley Walker, who is currently on tour with Drive-By Truckers, took the stage for 2001’s “Angels and Fuselage” off Southern Rock Opera. Before Wednesday’s show, Walker has supported the band with opening sets alongside Andrew Young (bass) and Ryan Jewell (drums).
The band closed out the show with another taped recording, Big Star’s “Way Out West.” Next, Drive-By Truckers will perform their rescheduled Portland, Ore. dates; the two-night stand will take place at the Wonder Ballroom on Feb. 17 and 18.
Tickets are on sale and can be purchased here.
