SXSW scene report: Drive-By Truckers at Stubb’s
In front of a packed house, the Drive-By Truckers took the stage to a recording of Big Star’s “September Gurls,” yet another homage to the freshly departed Alex Chilton, who was slated to perform with his seminal pop band Saturday night.
Vocalist-guitarist Patterson Hood also dedicated “Let There Be Rock,” one new song in a set loaded with tunes from the band’s new one, “The Big To-Do,” to Chilton saying, “I’ve been a big, big, big, huge Big Star fan since I was way you…So I want to dedicate this song to Alex Chilton, and this song is about how rock and roll saved my life.”
Highlights: The opener, “The Fourth Night of My Drinking” and “The Flying Wallendas.”
