Drive-By Truckers and Deer Tick brought their co-billed Charm and Decadence Tour to the Ogden Theatre on June 20 for a packed show. Deer Tick’s set was highlighted by crowd-favorite throwbacks like “These Old Shoes” and a rocking cover of Warren Zevon’s “Play It All Night Long.” Drive-By Truckers finished the night off with a classic set from its earlier catalog and included a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “State Trooper.”
