David Allan Coe's annual performances at Billy Bob's Texas draw fans of all ages, and this enjoyable concert finds the singer-songwriter acknowledging his diverse audience with frequent references to old pals (Waylon Jennings) and new (Kid Rock). Coe's set even includes Jennings's concert staple, "Storms Never Last," and a pair of simple boogie shuffles that Coe (with apparent pride) co-wrote with Rock. Memory, and overbearing self-lionizing, are key to Coe's show. That strategy has a downside: There's a suite of six or seven songs (including "Nothin' to Lose" and "When I Was a Young Man") that amounts to a bluesman's bragging rights. Much better are the shattering "Heaven Only Knows" and "Lay My Money Down," which breaks Coe's lean, country-rock monotony with welcome bluegrass textures. Coe's "Take This Job and Shove It," a massive hit for Johnny Paycheck, becomes more than a novelty song in its composer's hands. --Tom Keogh

Summary: The best music DVD I own. 2004-07-27
Comment: I have about 40 music DVDs, including rock, country, bluegrass and blues. This one is the best. I have watched this DVD (according to DAC it means Drunk Very Drunk) about 20 times in the last five months. The music is great and the crowd is so into it. They know the words to the songs and just when to hoot, holler, gesticulate, etc. I envy those who were at that show. David Allan Coe is in top form here. I love all the name dropping. DAC is obviously a very smart guy who knows exactly what he is doing as a showman, and of course as a songwriter. (I bet there are incidences where people have underestimated his shrewdness to their own detriment.) The most important comment I could make to a potential buyer is that it's a real cultural thing. People of a narrow city-folk mind probably won't get it. Too bad for them. The last two tracks alone are worth the five star rating...and that's just for the shock value they provide. A note worthy of mention is about the production quality of this DVD. The camera work is very good, the editing is superb, and the sound (especially the DTS soundtrack) is outstanding. Hat's off the David Allan Coe and to Billy Bob's Texas.
