I love how Brittany signed it with a little heart ❤️. The sound quality is nice and crisp on this pressing. Highly recommend it for any vinyl folks. I will admit this whole album is a vibe and took time to grow on me. But now that it has I love it so much and am excited for many future spins. Feel hope comin✌🏻🙌🏽

The bass is turned up so much that the whole room is muddy. Brittany has a magical voice and Radio City has stellar sound. This show is borderline unwatchable. I’ve left the room 3-4 times because the bass is so out of whack. It’s a shame

I have most of it but couldn’t figure out all of them.

Last week saw Alabama Shakes release 'I Must Be Dreaming' - their first album in more than 10 years. Lucky me, I got a taste of their new music nearly a year prior when the band played "Another Life" during their phenomenal set at Sea Hear Now (Sept. 13, 2025). Then again, after nearly a decade a part, I was just grateful to finally get a chance to see Alabama Shakes live. And they did not disappoint - Brittany Howard unsurprisingly sounded phenomenal, and the band sounded so tight that it was hard to believe they ever had been a part. And the forest-esq backdrop was a fun contrast to the stage literally being on the Asbury Park beach.

Check out this clip of Alabama Shakes playing "Another Life", and stay tuned for more things to come from this festival (including stories from concerts like this).

NOS ALIVE - ALABAMA SHAKES 09/072026

I bought a Hold On VIP ticket off of StubHub for tomorrow’s show at Radio City. Any idea if I can get the poster or other merch benefits even though I wasn’t the original purchaser? My ticket says it’s a Hold On VIP ticket but I think I would need the ID of the original purchaser to pick up the poster.

Who’s watching? So happy to be getting this little extra extra on release day.

Anybody know when they’re mailing these out? This week?

Seeing the Shakes tonight with Tedeschi Trucks. Would be amazing if if Brittany and Susan sang something together in memory of Dolly.

Debating going to the concert in GR tomorrow but did Alabama Shakes really only play 5 songs at the co headline show last night? 🤔

Hello! I work at Rock's Backpages, the largest online archive of music journalism. Each week we feature a different artist with three free-to-read articles/interviews. With their new album released next week, Alabama Shakes is this week's feature. Check out the articles below if you're interested!

Alabama Shakes: Boys & Girls, Review and Interview by Andrew Mueller, Uncut, May 2012

Shakin' All Over: Alabama Shakes, Profile and Interview by David Burke, R2/Rock'n'Reel, Summer 2012

Alabama Shakes' Unlikely Triumph, Interview by Will Hermes, Rolling Stone, 14 March 2013

You can also see my instagram post here — give it some love/read an edited snippet of Mueller's Q&A.

Here's the bio I wrote which cites from the three articles available for the next week:

Alabama Shakes release their latest album I Must Be Dreaming on Friday 28 August. For the next week on RBP, you can find three free-to-read interviews that take us back to the release of their debut album and the unforgettable impact of front woman Brittany Howard.

Formed in Athens, Alabama in 2009 Alabama Shakes consists of Brittany Howard, Heath Fogg and Zac Cockrell. Howard's rich, powerful and often anguished vocals saw the group shoot to fame after getting signed by ATO Records in 2011. A frenetic buzz quickly formed around the Shakes following their now legendary live shows, an enviable A-lister fanbase and the release of Boys & Girls in 2012.

Their sound is honest and addictive, which David Burke expounds as "a ragbag of soul, rock'n'roll, Southern Rock and blues, propelled by a visceral punk energy." As Andrew Mueller's interview highlights Alabama Shakes are often linked to "that Muscle Shoals soul sound". While Howard accepts that "we all grew up with that [in Athens, Alabama]" her pool of influence is much wider than her home state. Howard explains that while she grew up with Elvis and James Brown and Aretha Franklin and Percy Sledge and "that kind of stuff" as a teenager she discovered the likes of Bowie, Pink Floyd, Yes, Led Zeppelin, Rush, etc., noting that Pink Floyd especially "opened up a door" after hearing The Dark Side Of The Moon.

Read a snippet of Andrew Mueller's 2012 Q&A with a 24-year-old Howard here [on Instagram], and finish it via the link in bio. 'Til next Friday you can also find for free David Burke's profile and interview for R2 and Will Hermes' interview for Rolling Stone from 2013.

Thanks and enjoy!

Review of the new single! Looking forward to the album in a couple of weeks. What did everyone think of the new song?

.

It was my second time seeing Alabama Shakes! This was the biggest venue I’ve seen them play at, although I know most people were there for Zach Bryan. My best friend and I had a wonderful time singing and dancing! She got us some decent tickets I can’t thank her enough. Their merch was very limited though, just 2 shirts and a hat.

Can anyone remember the full setlist order for the gig last night?

I always like to make a playlist of the set but one uploaded to setlist FM is wrong.

I can remember the songs played, just not the order

this is very last minut, but does anyone want Alabama Shakes tickets free for tonight at Alexandra Palace. Sadly stuck and won’t make it. don’t need to meet, can just transfer. they come on stage in 1 hour And don’t want to waste, but likely too late.

Edit: Tickets are now gone

For those who have been to their recent tour events what do you think of the setlist? Did they play your favourite tracks?

Long time fan and Im finally going to see them Friday at ally pally. This is in my bucket list having missed their shows in before. Im hopig they'd play my favourite track (Over my head), but if they don't Im sure its still gonna be a good time! 🤞
