Encore: Whippin' Post
I have only two negative things to say about the show.
1. It ended 2. They don't have any plans right now to do another one!
Southbound
sold out House of Bricks last night and for good reason. James Biehn
solidified himself once again as the best guitar player in the city of
Des Moines. At times if you shut your eyes it was like you were hearing
Duane Allman himself with James's playing and singing. The drum solo
during the last set was just as sick as anything I've ever seen. Joe
and Joel were phenominal. Vercel was on point at the keys as always,
and Jordan held it together on the bass nicely all night. Don't
worry...I didn't forget about Seth. Him and James complimented
each other VERY well just like Duane and Dickie, or even Derek and
Warren. I think if Derek Trucks or Warren Haynes ever go down they have
two worthy replacements! I wish I could rattle off the set list but I
can't for a number of reasons...most of them chemical! I can tell you
however, I enjoyed every single song they played and a few moments
stuck out.
First of all...Dreams was freaking ridiculous! They
could have played that song for the entire two and a half hours they
were on stage and no one would have noticed. Come and Go Blues has
always been a favorite of mine, and they nailed that one too! In fact
they nailed everything. Of course the encore had to be Whipping Post
all in your FACE! I swear they played it for forty five minutes. It was
every bit as unbelievable as the first time I heard that song on the
Filmore album.
All in all I can't remember ever watching a
cover band and enjoying it this much. If these guys felt like making a
living as a tribute band there is no doubt in my mind they could do it
and do it well!
