I don't have a ton to say about this one but am including it for the sake of completeness. The wife and I decided to do something different for New Year's and had been wanting to see Del McCoury for some time. We arrived fairly early and quickly noticed the strange generational split between older, long time fans, most of whom were in the seated section of the club on the left, and the younger, hippy-vibe fans who were standing on the right. Not totally what I expected.
Keller Williams came out and did his thing, opening with a song of his that I actually know ("Breathe") and doing some cool Dead covers including "Cumberland Blues" and "Bird Song." The latent Deadhead in me loved it.
Then the full Del McCoury Band came out and just tore it up. It was pretty non-stop but, being as it was a long set, kind of loose by bluegrass standards with a lot of request taking and things of that nature. The sound wasn't that great, which can be such a killer at a bluegrass show. We were probably there for almost 3 hours and then decided to head home before the show was over, mainly because we are old and can't hang anymore. Fun time ...
