I caught his latest PGH show two weeks ago at The Byham Theater.
Steve's really on a roll. Washington Square Serenade was excellent, and he performed it faithfully. The show was really long. He played his old faves, then basically played all of his last two releases.
Steve's lost a lot of weight, and obviously he's been clean for about 10 years. He's been writing and touring incessantly - he's really a powerful performer at this point.
His wife, Allison Moorer, has a great voice and is smoking hot - maybe not as hot as her sister Shelby Lynne, but damn close. Allison opened - her own songs are nothing to shriek about, but some of her cover tunes and her appearances on stage with Steve are really something.
Particularly interesting was Steve's DJ. I am pretty skeptical of that medium, but Steve works it in perfectly.
I was pretty much blown away by this one, and would recommend catching him next time you can.

If there are any better songwriters than Earle and John Hiatt, someone please make me aware of them.

Re: Steve Earle
Slightly OT, but Steve's kid, Justin Townes Earle, released his debut CD earlier this year. It's old-school twangy country and really fuckin' good. Pick it up if you get the chance. (Or you can steal it here: http://rapidshare.com/files/109387605/j ... _2008_.zip)

Re: Steve Earle
i tell you something funny and Dinsdale style...i did some cocaine with one of Townes Van Zandt's daughters and we spent the night together at her place at 6th and Arapahoe near Eben Fine Park. Music fans will lament that this was one, minus the Townes angle, was one of the last live shows played by one of the greatest indie bands ever: Baldo Rex. at the Fox Theatre in Boulder. Ted wore roller skates and Ace Freeley costume.
she played the banjo, Townes daughter.
