Dopapod and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong Pay Tribute To Butch Trucks On “Blue Sky” In Denver [Video]

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong and Dopapod graced the stage at Denver, CO’s The Ogden Theatre last night to a packed house. The two bands put on non-stop, high-energy sets that had the crowd going wild for the entirety of the evening.

Pigeons played a funk-fueled set, with highlights consisting of a cover of Prince‘s “1999” sandwiched in between “Whoopie”, “Walk Outside,” and finished off with a monster “Spacejam > The Hop > F.U.,” the latter of which featured a sit-in from Dopapod keyboardist Eli Winderman.

Dopapod’s set continued in much the same fashion, as the band was locked in from the start of their own set. A touching moment came when the group invited Pigeons guitarist Jeremy Schon out to pay tribute to recently fallen Allman Brothers Band member Butch Trucks with a cover of “Blue Sky.” Dopapod guitarist Rob Compa eloquently stated that Trucks was now reunited with fellow ABB band members Duane Allman and Berry Oakley, so it couldn’t be that bad; certainly a positive way to look at it, given the devastating news from this past week.

The DopaPigeons combo continue their two-night Colorado run with each other at The Boulder Theater tonight. For more information, check out the Facebook Event page. To purchase tickets, click here.
