The Great American Todd Snider Taxi made a stop in Atlanta Friday night, as a packed Variety Playhouse took a very fun ride that included many favorite tunes and a few surprises along the way.
Following the Taking It As It Comes opener, the setlist seemed to build and pick up momentum with every tune. Be sure to check out an extended Alcohol And Pills, first time played Crash On The Levee, the Everything Is Alright Story and a very special birthday wish. The show closed with another jammed out version of Gauranteed and the JJW classic Will There Be Any.
Chattanooga’s Rhythm and Brews was rocking on this Sunday night as The Trishas took the stage to a full house and a sold out crowd.
Todd’s set opened with Can’t Complain and Is This Thing Working followed by the 18 Minutes Intro. Along with the 45 Miles and Bill Elliott stories, this show also featured fantastic sing along versions of Stuck On The Corner and Runaround Sue. The final show of the 2011 Torpedo Of Bullshit Tour closed with Will The Circle Be Unbroken.
Saturday night’s show in Huntsville had a very intimate vibe, as Todd took several requests from the crowd and granted a few his own.
The setlist featured rarely played tunes Lonely Girl and Hey Hey, along with a great version of Looking For A Job. The encore began with the premier of The Elvis Story, as The Trishas joined Todd for Will The Circle Be Unbroken to close out a memorable show.
The Trishas had no trouble warming up this fabulous audience in Athens and the rain didn’t deter folks from filling the Melting Point and bringing the show to a rolling boil. Todd’s set opened with a relevant cover tune before Age Like Wine, Alcohol and Pills and the 18 Minute Intro.
Following crowd favorites Looking For A Job and Stuck On The Corner, the old “Keep Your Hands Off My Daughter” chant returned during Keep Off The Grass. The encore began with Relax Your Mind and soon segued into Far Away Eyes and finished with a Straight To Hell sing along.
The sold out Thursday night crowd full of new and old fans alike, graciously welcomed The Storyteller to the Workplay stage.
A fun show kicked off with Can’t Complain and Is This Thing Working, before a raucous 18 Minutes Intro. Highlights included Looking For A Job, East Nashville Skyline, Easy Money and a very very brief version of Carla. The show finished up with two classics, A Very Short Time and Stoney followed by Conservative Christian…a Capella due to some technical difficulties.
A lively Sunday night crowd in Austin was treated to a fantastic show, as the final Todd and Great American Taxi show in Texas was arguably the best one of the week.
This unique, hits packed setlist featured tight jams in every song that kept everyone dancing throughout the night. Highlights included East Nashville Skyline and the Hill Country Goodbye Story included in Alright Guy. The Texes run fittingly closed with a jammed out version of Guaranteed and the entire band singing Will There Be Any acapella.
With a return to one of the most historic venues in the country, came one of the most memorable shows of the year. Great American Taxi had no trouble warming up this sold out crowd, as this was their second appearance at Gruene Hall with Todd.
Rockin versions of Takin It As it Comes and Looking For A Job opened the show, as the energy in the house continued to build with every tune. Following JJW classic Sangria Wine, came emotional versions of Play A Train Song and Waco Moon. An eleven minute Alright Guy featured the Look At Me Now Mama story, before the show closed with Going Down The Road Feeling Bad and I Saw The Light.
The Big D stood for dancing in Texas on Friday night. With a few seats off to the side and an open floor that filled quickly, this exuberant crowd welcomed Taxi for their opening set.
Todd began the show with a solo Age Like Wine as the Taxi followed in behind for Sideshow Blues and D.B. Cooper, before the 18 Minutes Intro. This was a very fun setlist and after Good New Blues, Ballad Of Cape Henry and some Jerry Jeff tunes, Todd lead the band into a full version of Long Haired Country Boy during Moondawg’s Tavern.
A four show run in Texas with Great American Taxi kicked off in Houston and it was a rocker. Each song took on a whole new life with Todd driving and sometimes taking a ride on the Taxi.
This set featured one of the most rock n’ roll versions of Devil You Know, along with three Jerry Jeff tunes and Barbie Doll. Everyone was surprised by the encore, as Todd played mandolin for Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues and Will The Circle Be Unbroken.
No doubt it was Friday night at the historic Handlebar. Todd returned to the Greenville area to a very excited, packed house that welcomed him with open arms.
Following Just Like Old Times and Sunshine, there was a great version of Keep Off The Grass and Bob Dylan story, before the set closed with Don’t It Make You Wanna Dance and Conservative Christian. Peter Cooper and Eric Brace joined Todd for The Last Laugh and Fire On the Mountain during the encore.
The enthusiasm this sold out crowd brought to the Carrboro Arts Center was unbelievable. It was in turn, matched on stage with an unforgettable St. Paddy’s Day performance.
Along with 45 Miles, Bob Dylan and the Tunnel stories, Todd granted many requests which included Sunshine and Horseshoe Lake. Be sure to check out the Arlo and JJW teases in Ballad Of The Devil’s Backbone Tavern, just before Stoney. Everyone helped finish the show, joining in for sing along tunes Runaround Sue and Relax Your Mind.
A week in the Carolinas kicked off with a school night show in Charlotte. The Visulite Theatre was not only filled to capacity, but also full of great energy. Following an unforgeable version of Betty Was Black (and Willie Was White,) Todd told a side-splitting version of the Bill Elliott Story.
Momentum continued to build throughout the show with Sideshow Blues, Alright Guy and Looking For A Job. A Jerry Jeff Walker classic, Stoney helped close out the set, before a Can’t Complain and Relax Your Mind encore.
A very enthusiastic crowd was treated to an intimate show at the area’s finest live music venue. With the storyteller’s first trip to Huntington, The V Club was packed early for this Saturday evening performance.
Right of the bat between Greencastle Blues and Is This thing Working, the energy in the room was very high and somehow continued to build throughout the night. This show features must hear versions of Stuck On The Corner and Alright Guy. Carla also make an appearance, along with an encore song from The King himself.
Night two picked up right where we left off as Takin’ It As It Comes and Mission Accomplished opened the show. The energy on stage and from the sold out Celebrity Showroom crowd was amazing.
With a completely different setlist and hardly a repeat to be found, there are once again too many highlights to list. No trip to Reno could be complete without Moondawg’s Tavern, Folsom Prison Blues or an appearance from Elvis. Continuing with the blues theme, the classic I’m Ready and Sideshow Blues help close out the show before a full band version of Stoney. Fittingly, the weekend ended with everyone singing along to Lean On Me.
