Slideshow: Drive-By Truckers @ the Pageant

My review at A to Z suggests I had a less than awesome time at the Drive-By Truckers this Saturday; in truth, I enjoyed the set, especially the second half, but felt that the band was just on cruise control. If you saw them last year at the same Pageant, you’ll instantly recognize the difference I tried to articulate.
