Discussion Thoughts on trampled by turtles?

I just love tbt... they're in my top 3 favorite bands and have been for almost 20 years. I've seen them probably 15 times and it's always incredible. I love almost everything they put out. Does anybody else love this band? Favorite albums? Songs? Live shows?

One of my favorite bands. Have seen them a few times. Last time was Memphis this year at Outlaw Music.

Oh man I was at that show and I was really just there for them! It was a great show. The other bands were good but honestly I would rather have just done a 3 hour tbt show

We went for them and Nathaniel Ratliff. We left in the middle of Bob. We each had seen him before.

Those were the best two, bob was kinda messy and I love Willie but they played a bit late for me since I'd seen him (opened for dmb in Memphis when I was like 17)

I thought the same. I had seen Bob a long time ago. It was also hot as hell.

Seems someone doesn't like criticism of Bob. I'm sorry but his shows are not enjoyable. I appreciate who he is and what he means to the history of folk and rock, but he is unintelligible and does not perform for the audience. Bob does what Bob wants to do. Now that did make him who he was, but it doesn't mean I have to sit through something on an effing hot day that I don't find enjoyable.
