Always a good time! A lot of deep tracks due to the 30th Anniversary of the band. Appear to still enjoy themselves, and give the fans their moneys worth.
This show was sooooo muthafkngoooood! LOVED Pigeon John and Eligh and Grouch straight up phenomenal
Top 5 concerts I’ve ever been to
These guys did a great job opening for Brothers Comatose. Started on time, played 8 songs over 45 minutes. High energy, tight sound. Song selection was really good. Overall great job. Thank you, Pixie and the boys!
That show was outstanding, start to finish. They nailed it.
Awesome show! Brand new Joe Samba fan now too!
Flat out fantastic, going to have to see him and the band again!
It was an absolute blast! Jay Farrar was powerful, and the band was incredible!!! I loved every minute.
Jay’s nephew Jesse Farrar open with a nicely done solo 30 minute set, setting the plate for Son Volt. Turns out young Jesse is part of a bluegrass band and wrote a song for Special Consensus that won a Grammy! A super confident young man, who played acoustic guitar, sometimes along with an electronic “loop” so he could demonstrate his flat picking skills. Quit enjoyable.
Jay Farrar has gathered a nice ensemble for this Son Volt collective. Journeymen Andrew Duplantis (bass) and Mark Spencer ( Norg keyboards, lap steel, and red Gibson E335-style electric) joined the newest drummer and lead guitarist. I’ll post the set list where it belongs on setlist.com. They played songs from the original 3 albums, along with at least 15 more from later albums. Highlights were Picking Up the Signal, The Globe, The Reason, and Driving the View.
Since I was parked stage left, in front of Mark Spencer, I was hearing his monitor more than the House speakers. I would guess the overall sound was good, not poor or excellent. I removed earplugs after one song by Jesse Farrar, so the decibels were tolerable, maybe except for the last 2 or 3 songs. The vocals could have been clearer, maybe better enunciation, or better mic and amplified sound integrity.
I give this a solid 4 out of 5. Not bad for my 2nd concert since COVID sequestration. Also, I always compare Son Volt to the original Farrar, Heidorn, Boquist brothers, with Heineman, lineup. And nothing compares favorably with that lineup and material, in my view.
Solid effort Son Volt. Good vibes Lucky You Lounge. Nice party Spokanites! Can’t wait for the Spook Sisters!
Dirtwire absolutely killed it, as usual. It was also fun seeing so many people having their minds blown by experiencing this band for the first time. The great news is that they've leveled up, playing a sold-out show with three times as many people as the last time we saw them at the Lucky You Lounge. However, that means, that they need a bigger venue.
I got a really cool shirt and another art print for my collection and hope to get another next time they come to the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area.
Tim was awesome!!! High energy the whole time!! Only reason it’s not a 5 star is he didn’t sing river kids. Haha. The venue was great also!! Great sound.
Fantastic and intimate show!
Singing was great as always
Noah is always someone I MAKE SURE to see whenever he's in town. It's always a good time and is heaven to our ears.
