Hey Flumper!! - Anhil8tor - 10-25-2005

I picked up my DAC tix yesterday.

What should I expect on a scale of 1 to 10?

Are you a fan?

Yes.. but he is a bit older and rougher around the edges now.

Well, here's my short list of expectations:

1. Expect him to look much worse than you ever imagined.

2. Expect his band to seem half assed and cheap.

3. He will sound worse than you imagined and probably will be drug/drink induced.

4. He will probably not play for nearly as long as you had hoped.

5. He will probably be more easily available for an autograph than you imagined.

6. He will amaze you with some of his songs, both good and bad.

7. You will leave glad you saw him and probably even buy some biker t-shirt with his picture on it.

My parents saw him at the horseshoe a couple of years ago. He was playing the slots next to him and he began conversing with my father. They became "friends" I guess you could say.. about as good of friends as you could be with the guy for first meeting him.

Anyways my dad had moved away from DAC and my mom to play some other slots... This guy sits next to my mom and starts talking to her. He says something that DAC takes the wrong way... DAC walks over to the guy and tells him to watch his mouth..

DAC then finds my dad.. tells him the story and asks my dad if he wants his help in rolling the guy..

They went to his concert there. He owed the horseshoe for gambling debts.. he played for about an hour and fifteen minutes and he never played one of his songs.. most people left really early.. after the show my parents went backstage and he was cool.. .like nothing was wrong. I guess there really wasn't... espically if he didn't want to play the show.

I have decent hopes for this concert... its going to be downtown and a real young crown.. 18 to 25 or so.. and I think that is more what he likes.. espically because of the $$$$

He's a really fucked up guy. He has written some really amazing songs, most of them sung by other artists. But, he filed bankruptcy many years ago and lost the rights to those songs. He was getting about $50k per month in royalties back then and gave it all up to settle a $25,000 debt in bankruptcy.

Right now he pays around $8,000/month in child support because he had four wives (at the same time) and all had children.

Don't be suprised if there are a bunch of bikers at the show. They comprise about half of his following now.

When was the last time you saw him?

About 15+ years ago.

1. He looked very badly. For the first 45 minutes he just sat there on some old leather chair. I don't even think he was playing or anything.

2. His band was actually very good. Someone said he just picked them up at biker fest. His oldest son (17) played lead guitar. All of the guys couldn't have been older than 25 or 30.

3. He sounded awesome. No problems with his voice at all. He was completely sober. Very coherant..

4. He didn't play but an hour. I expected an hour and a half.. I thought he may even go over that. At the end of his hour.. he stood up and walked off stage. That was it.

5. Didn't hang around

6. I have to admit he blew my mind with his songs. He only played two of his songs.. Tennessee Whiskey and Will you lay with me. They both sounded great. He opened his show with silver wings, followed by I think I'll just stay here and drink. He also played that Uncle Cracker song... fly away or something like that. He closed the show with a kid rock twofer that was unbelieveable. He started with only god knows why and closed with the song kid rock redid to Metallicas song. On both songs he first sang kid rocks version than song a completely new song written by DAC, Uncle Cracker, and Bob Richie (AKA Kid Rock).. He also sang a new song.. so between his long new song and the two kid rock songs they lasted easyily over 30 minutes.

7. I was glad to see him. He sounded better than I could have imagined. For the first 30 minutes or so I thought he would die on stage. He just sat there and twitched.. but when he started the kid rock songs.. he jumped up.. kicked his chair down and rocked out harder than any 66 year old I have ever seen. His versions of the kid rock songs were awesome.. I am gald I went.

He must have a new band. I haven't seen him in a long time, but his band used to look like the cleaning crew for the Hell's Angels. And I was kind of guessing at what he would sound like. I figured surely after another 10 or 15 years of that life he would have to begin to sound like crap.

I'd like to see him.

David Allen Coe. He's the guy in the picture above. Real wild man, but a great song writer.
