First off THANK YOU for providing these....fucking awesome!!!
-That moment at 3:07 on I Will Sing You Songs from night 3 when Jim says "Thank You", It makes me smile big time......CLASSIC JIM!!
Night 3
There will be bigotry, and there will be open minds
There will be days of peace, I hope you have the time
As long as you keep a straight face....
I Will Be There When You Die
As long as you keep a straight face....
I Will Be There When You Die
I laugh at that Elvis thank you too. I love the opening of Masterplan. I keep finding things on these recordings that I love. I'll spend a some time with each night. On night 1 there are several moments. Heartbreakin' Man, The jam after Outta My System, Octoplasm. There are more, but I'll let someone else get to discuss them. Even hearing certain people scream out from the crowd. I feel like I hear Danz several times, but I was right behind him and I don't remember him ever screaming all of that. Maybe blue sky can confirm since we don't see much of Danz on here anymore.
I like Jim's "That's Mr. Tom Blakenship everybody" shout out during the part of Honest Man that is mostly bass. Seeing Tom's reaction to that at the time was hilarious, as he seems to really hate being in the spotlight. Hearing that on the recording brings that moment back.
I also love hearing Jim sliding his finger up and down one of the lower guitar strings during the later verse of "I Will Sing You Songs" (raunchy comment from Fully coming in 3, 2, 1).
Love the IMMEDIACY with which they take the stage on night one and go right into Heartbreakin' Man full force.
Love Jim's vocals on night one -- not that I don't love his vocals always, but you can tell that some time off did a lot of good for his vocal cords, as his pipes come out swinging for the fences.
Love the excited guy in the crowd just as Off the Record is starting on night one -- "fuckin' eh! Not stoppin', not stoppin'!"
Love the precise way in which they go right into the funk jam before the final line of Evelyn.
Love the guy in the crowd calling for Tyrone during the opening drums to a tremendously emotional version of Thank You Too.
LOVE the mini-riff jam before O Is The One That Is Real, and absolutely ADORE how prominent Bo's keys are during this song. Really takes it to a new level.
Love the pinch harmonics Carl is rippin' during "Lay Low". Maybe I haven't heard enough live versions of this song, but I've never heard him get those harmonics ringin' like he does during PC3. What an axeman.
Most of all, I love that we are all able to get our hands on these pristine recordings so quickly after the shows took place. We are very spoiled!

Good prediction, Whippy. Watching Jim sing IWSYS is probably the closest any of us will ever get to watching Jim f@ck. He makes love to that song when he performs it.The voyeur in me loves it. The MMJ fan goes nuts; I don't think I need to say how the woman in me feels about it.
I'd like someone to point out a show in the past 3 years with a more interesting opening setlist than PC 1:
HEARTBREAKIN' MAN
XMAS CURTAIN
OUTTA MY SYSTEM
EVELYN
OCTOPLASMIC JAM
I don't think there is one, but....

I'm here Fully! I couldn't tell you if I was screaming on not - during shows like that I spiritually black out. But maybe those recording devices were able to pick up the sounds my body was making in reaction to the experience that just couldn't be heard by the mortal ear. Or something like that. I'll have another listen.
I really like the lyric change in Sooner:
For all your days I wish you protection
From all the evil in the world
Heartfelt and powerful

I went through a bunch just for fun and I stand by my comment. Second place goes to Red Rocks night 1 this year.
Good Danz! We need you around here! I like that lyric change too. It sounds so loving and makes me feel peaceful.
Here are a few...
Jam at the end of Touch Me 2;
How they dropped into Thank You Too;
Horns on Victory Dance (love the intro!)
Good call on the guy getting all excited as they go into Off the Record. Cracks me up every time...
The segue from War Begun into IWSYS is flawless and amazing

Jam at the end of Pt. 2 was great! Very Cool Closer
Exatly like Mr. Whippy.....The shout out to Tom and his reaction was what came to mind when I saw this topic.
Touch Me Part 2, Easy Morning Rebel, intro to Lowdown, and a few other intros and trying to figure out what song it was leading to.
The excess crowd noise is bothersome. Anyone else wish it was minimized? The chatter distracts and is annoying during quieter parts of songs or entire quieter songs, like Sooner. I don't mind the guy yelling out for Tyrone. It's just the din of tons of jumbled voices that you can't understand that irk me.

You read my mind, Kyle. When I saw your original question, the immediate thing that came to me was the opening five-pack of Red Rocks night 1:
Rollin' Back
The Way That He Sings
Heartbreakin' Man
The Dark
Lowdown
I remember at some point during that run of songs, Crispy taps me and Haldon on the shoulders and says "Are you guys freaking out? Because I'm freaking out over here."

Yes, I also wish it was minimized and I feel a little annoyed by it when listening. Reminds me of how frustrating concerts can be in that is seems impossible for a crowd at a rock show to achieve silence, even for a minute. Almost any real quiet part of the music or brief pause in the music and someone has to yell something.
I feel the same. I'd prefer SBD recordings or at least a matrix mix of SBD/AUD. In a venue that size, probably all the instruments are coming through the board, so you'd think it'd sound good. Or even better, they could do a separate mix for the recording. I know, I know, picky Jacket heads! :rolleyes:

As it was the first night of RR as well...
Just to be clear. You can only minimize the Audience levels so much as it's part of the mix. Reducing them completely leaves you with only a board mix. The warmth and bottom end come from the the sound of the room mic's picking up the P.A. and ambiance of the venue. This is why they are called Bootlegs. You have to consider the length of these sets and the amount of time it takes to process and upload by the next day.
Just saying :wink:

These are Matrix recordings. 4 audience mic's plus SBD. Six tracks mixed and mastered in post. :smiley:
I really can't get enough of All Night Long and Carried Away.
It also blows my mind how epic War Begun is compared to TTF version.

Toboggans, are you the guy who recorded these? If so, great job!
Not Tobaggans, damn autocorrect! Sorry Toogans.
How about "Condoleeza said she wants rice" during All Night Long (at 3:46)? Not sure if he always does that but it was great. Almost as good as bananas, nanas at T5.
if you were there, you understand how close Carl came to not breaking into Steam lead because his board crapped the bed. Literally a few seconds from plug in to full face melt. He is a God.
from front row of the Loge, this was a terrifying thing to watch, but the outcome was everything and more than any of us could expect

I wasn't sure if that is what he was singing at first, but then I when I heard it a second time I was cracking up!

Was right there beside ya! A wee bit distracting but an interesting distraction, he definitely pulled that solo off in the nick of time. Not sure but I think he pulled the sax out to replace a solo on one song due to the pedal board.
night 1 - Sooner>Thank You Too>Nashville to Kentucky
night 2 - lowdown.
night 3 - Evil uRges thru Run Thru.
My favorite overall moment though was when they went into the Outta My System ext jam and then Octoplasm after Evelyn... At that exact place and time, I was re-assured of how epic of a run it would be and how right this world can be, sometimes.....
I could do without the omnichord on Sooner. Acousticcitsuoca is the best version.

As much as I loved Red Rocks, I think they might have been better. I'm enjoying these boots way more than Red Rrocks, and I loved those.
It's hard for me to choose between Red Rocks and these as which I like better. I do notice the quality of the PC recordings are better sounding, I downloaded the ALAC. The RR I got last year were mp3s. Is that the difference, do I need to upgrade?
In addition to what others have mentioned, for me a great moment was Carried Away. I had not heard that song before.
Thanks, TOOGs, for the insight on the audience presence on the recordings, and thanks for all the work you guys did to get the recordings out to us.
Now that you've explained it, makes sense why the audience is as present as it is. Now, our work is to just get our fellow audience members to shut the F up while the band is playing. Tasers might help.

FYI- The Red Rocks 2012 show's have been re-posted at Nuggs.net.
These are basically the same board mixes plus audience mic's remixed, edited and remastered. I think these versions are superior to the original.

RR is such an amazing place. At times the warm summer wind felt like it was pulling the music along. And maybe that's just it, RR is about the natural environment.
PC was about the connection between us and the band at a temple to rock and roll.

Electric mascara sounds painful.

i'm a little surprised to not see much mention of possibly the BEST incarnation of Dondante these ears have ever heard. those horns! maybe it is covered in some of the other threads -- too many to keep track...but once it ended the first time i listened to it, i hit repeat. i spent almost an hour with ol' Don.
i also played this show last week while in Park City with some buds. and as the magic often lines up while playing MMJ, this Dondante came on and perfectly filled the entire trip from Snowbird down to our SLC hotel. several goose bump moments as we descended the road and a layer of clouds covered Salt Lake in the distance. silence from my friends thru the entire jam, but once we got out of the car, both (MMJ newbs) asked "What was that song???"
In the "not so great" moments, anyone think Jimmy sounds strange at the beginning of the Bear? When I first heard it I said what the heck is that? Like he's doing some lounge singer singing outside his range impersonation?

I really like the lyric change in Sooner:
For all your days I wish you protection
From all the evil in the world
Heartfelt and powerful
So late in the game & finally listening to the Capital shows. I have to say I think I did ask almost every night "What did they play" I have never had the experience I did at this run where I was somewhere else spiritually listening to the show. I really love that I get to take it all in again. I was on another planet and after re-listening to the shows I know why. Everything felt different. Especially after the 3 night run at the Wiltern, which was amazing in it's own way this took me to another place. Simply beautiful, reminding me of the Dead twisting and turning everything you think you know into something new and unreal!

Absolutely, and being able to relive these shows, where the "blackout" was so prevalent afterward, is wonderful! When the shows are happening, I am simultaneously living right there in the present and also sort of an out-of-body experience, but I often wonder what it was I just saw right after it happens, wanting to remember every single moment and unable to do so.
um I don't know if this has been said but it's not Octoplasm after Evelyn. I recently listened to Octoplasm and it sounds pretty different to me.

I have to agree. Its funny how the media ran with this ("My Morning Jacket Debuts Live Instrumental!"), but while there are some similar elements, I never thought the band consciously thought they were playing that song. I didn't want to bum anyone out, there was so much excitement. And, honestly, who give a f*ck what you call it? It was awesome!

Good point, and probably why it's called "Funky Improv Jam" in the downloadable recording.
there's a funny part from PC1 and its as they start Off The Record and you can clearly hear this guy ecstatically shout "fucking A, they're not stopping, they're not stopping". Made me laugh.

I may be partially responsible for that seeing as my YouTube video has it called octoplasm. Will be changed lol
Didn't someone from the forum get a setlist that night? What does the setlist say?
The setlist just has the way that he sings right after evelyn
I still want to believe it was Octoplasm.

25 min Dondante's (w horns) For Life!!
the horns throughout the last 2 nights are great...

Were there tapers at Port Chester? I wasn't aware of any tapings other than the official bootlegs. Also, what "fix" was needed? I have all three (as mp3) and they seem fine.

Does anyone have a link for the taper recordings from Port Chester? Also, have the official bootlegs been fixed yet? I really like the setlist from night one and would love to have it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Were there tapers at Port Chester? I wasn't aware of any tapings other than the official bootlegs. Also, what "fix" was needed? I have all three (as mp3) and they seem fine.
Oh sorry, I thought I seen somewhere it was mentioned that there was also a taper recording, but I may have misinterpreted. The fix was in reference to the problems with the downloads being super slow, having multiple copies of each song (I think), and something about remastering.

i'm a little surprised to not see much mention of possibly the BEST incarnation of Dondante these ears have ever heard. those horns! maybe it is covered in some of the other threads -- too many to keep track...but once it ended the first time i listened to it, i hit repeat. i spent almost an hour with ol' Don.
i also played this show last week while in Park City with some buds. and as the magic often lines up while playing MMJ, this Dondante came on and perfectly filled the entire trip from Snowbird down to our SLC hotel. several goose bump moments as we descended the road and a layer of clouds covered Salt Lake in the distance. silence from my friends thru the entire jam, but once we got out of the car, both (MMJ newbs) asked "What was that song???"
I'm sayin e-stone! I was in fuckin heaven during that! And when we saw the horns... forget about it. Also, the stars projected on the walls? Whooooo. I'm spent just thinking about it
25 min Dondante's (w horns) For Life!!
was it just me or did the trumpet player on the far left from Antibalas have problems with his horn the whole track?
they did horns at JazzFest last year and that probably rates as my personal favorite Dondante.
+ 2 on the "Love the excited guy in the crowd just as Off the Record is starting on night one -- "fuckin' eh! Not stoppin', not stoppin'!" "
Also, to echo most, these boots sound so f'ing good. It just makes me angry though that I wasn't there!! IMO, MMJ is in their prime right now!
Just listened to "Carried Away" from the All Birds Must Sing Album and then the PC version.
Both are great but the PC version is a beast off the charts. It alone was worth the price of admission that night.
I agree heartily with you!!
Fuckin A Right! I've seen Carried Away Six times live (two of them were Carl solo with Trampled by Turtles) and the PC Carried Away was UNFUCKINBELIEVABLE!!! Carl started slowing it down and Jim came over and was stamping on his foot, and they were facing each other just CRUSHING that song (always a personal favorite). I get all amped up when you can tell Carl's gonna play it. He starts stepping up as Jim noticeably backs up a bit. It's a Carl song that has become a MMJ song, and I'm so happy thats happened.
I also echo the sentiment that night 2 PC was one of the best Dondontes I've seen as well. If Dondontes not at least 18-20 min long, it seems like they're cutting it short. I think it was 24min at PC.
So to make a long rant longer. Those were too definite highlights of night two.
P.S. I'd suffer through another Trampled by Turtles show again just to get 45 min of Carl, but I wouldn't recommend it. I'd like to see more solo Carl. If you dont own All Birds Say, I cant recommend it enough. It's just a beautiful, folky, happy, sad, Beatle'y, Pet Sound'y, GREAT album.
I forgot that was the song Jim was messing up Carl's white shoes. Thanks for reminding me. I loved reading what you just wrote, tippitoes. It took me back to that feeling that washed over me during that song that night. I wish I could feel like that more often...
I still think that LAY LOW-ANYTIME-WAR BEGUN-I WILL SING YOU SONGS might be the best 4 song run ever. The War Begun was breathtaking.

I've got the signed version of "All Birds Say" - ordered it as soon as I could and it's a wonderful album.
If you want to relive Port Chester's Carried Away here's my video. I'm not sure there's another posted. You just need to get by my freaking out when I realized what was about to come :cheesy:

I agree as well, but you could easily just make it a six-er and put that insane Honest Man and Aluminum Park (which kills live) on the end of that list. And right before that we had Evil Urges with horns.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Night 3 was one slab of MMJ perfection from beginning to end.

Sorry, Rob. :grin:
I fixed your video embed, too. If a YouTube url comes up with "https", take the "s" out and it should embed fine.

Yes, agreed. That whole run from EU on was insanity. I am a huge fan of PC3. All the shows were awesome but this one just had so many of my personal faves all strung together.

I could totally get behind them throwing this and even a Jim solo (A New Life) into their rotation on the regular.

Hey, thanks for fixing that link John. Glad that you and Fully (and hopefully some others) enjoyed reliving Carl's moment that night. I try to capture a few videos each show to remind me of how great these shows are and contribute to the collection of videos for all of us to enjoy.
And sorry for those first few moments which probably qualify as "annoying concert behavior". I got "carried away" but did settle down down eventually.

Yeah PC3 was pretty much a perfect show all in all as the band was fantastic and the crowd was so energized throughout. The other shows were fantastic, but this one was probably my favorite of all time.

I've been watching this over and over. It just takes me back to how awesome that performance was. I texted scosby telling him that I wanted to watch the PC DVD and then I remembered that there wasn't one. This video is about as close as we will get to that. I like that the camera doesn't bounce too much- at all really.

Oh that Honest Man... Hope you make it on this earth :evil:
If you listen really close to the start of The Dark on night 2 you will hear me say Here we go!! Bc we all know that's when the show really started...and right after the first guitar strum of ITIGTH you can hear me say YESSSSSS!! WOOOOO!!! Haha, there are many others scattered around all three nights but those two are easy to spot
Scosby, your comment about The Dark just made me realize I didn't have it for some reason. I don't know why I don't, but whatever. I have it now.
I also do not have The Dark! Weird! :shocked:
It didn't come with the first downloads, I had to go back in and re-download it after we got home
I find myself smiling at the same spot every time--a few notes into Off the Record---someone says 'they ah not stoppin, they ah NOT STOPPIN'' !!! Need to find out who that is...read my mind..
I like that too, Penny! I keep thinking it's Danz.
DON'T STOP, DON'T STOP
listening to PC2 right now...
1. Carried Away
2. the Poison blurb at the end of Rocketman (i think)

I also heard Whippy having a convo with somebody just before the band took the stage. :grin: No question, those mics had to be pretty close to you guys.
There was one right in front of us. I was yelling that hoping that one of you would hear it. Plus, I had been around scosby so long, I was pretty scosbied myself ;)

Have you become as proficient as him at naming the tune ? Seth is scary good. :cool: :thumbsup: It's one thing to get it on a note or two, but an entirely different thing to get it by just what guitar the guys have switched to! :grin:

Ug, let's not have any more details about that, please. There was a mic right in front of us but I'm still surprised you could pick out my voice, as I have a very quiet voice.
Actually, you might have heard me on the phone with Flake. During that horrid pre-show trivia segment he called me worried he wasn't in the right place, saying "I'm trying to find the show and all I see some video of stupid drunk people." I explained to him that he was in the right place and the show would start soon.

No problem Jon. It was only a brief moment there that I could hear you, and couldn't really tell what the convo was about, only that I definitely recognized your voice. Having hung out with you enough times to know how calm, and quiet your voice is, and even though I figured you to be on the rail, I was surprised to hear you. My thought at the time was Damn, that mic has to be super close in order to pick up you up. :grin: Once the music started though, I never heard you again. :beer:
Touch Me Part 2. I just gave it another listen. Insane version. I remember Jim dancing all around the stage all alone to the music after the rest of the band left.
I love having these recordings so, so much.
That is all.

Really tough to pick a favorite moment as there are so many mentioned on here (IWSYS, 26 min Dondante, Heartbreakin Man intro, Carried away) but I am continually blown away by the Phone every time I listen to it. It's one of those that I knew it was good when I saw it but the more I listen on the boots, it blows my mind. Makes their version at Red Rocks in august seem like it wasn't that great and it was amazing too!

Agreed100%. In addition to PWW, PC3 versions of tonight, IWSYS, and a few others seem to represent the full evolution of each song played live. Can't get enough and listen to bits of these 3 shows every day
CARRIED AWAY
I've avoided listening to these shows knowing that I would be pissed at myself for not making the effort to attend. I took my wife and kids to the NYE show, but couldn't afford to make it to the Port Chester run. When I renewed my roll call membership I downloaded night 3 (I own all of the other shows except the PC run). After listening to the show I immediately bought the first 2 nights. Sigh... so much for self control.
These shows were totally amazing. After listening to them multiple times I now feel let down by the NYE show. It was good.... but it wasn't epic like all three of these nights.
It cannot pick a favorite moment. The shows are just perfect. The opening jam to Mahgeetah hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet, thought it was pretty cool. The jams at the beginning of night 1 were also great. War Begun is always amazing live, and the one on night 3 was even better.
I won't miss the next 3-night run. Wait a minute... I can't make it to OBH in Mexico so I guess I am missing another one. ARGHHHHHHH!!!
At least I get to see them this Saturday in Atlanta. I don't expect anything of the PC caliber shows, but hopefully a few rarities.
I guess I can't complain... I was up close for the Soul Superjam at Bonnaroo. That's qualifies for epic!
Bhyman, if it makes you feel any better, the NYE version of Phone was even better than it was in Port Chester. Which side were you in at the superjam? I was on the rail in front of Jim and Carl.

I was about midway between the rail and the sound board, toward Jim and Carl's side. We could have gotten closer (we got to the tent before PHJB's set) but I was with someone that gets claustrophobic. We had a little bit breathing room in our spot.
Yeah, NYE wasn't a bad show by any stretch. We still had a blast. There were some really good moments. You Never Can Tell was a great surprise cover and I had never heard them play Rock the Casbah live. I'll have to give PWW from NYE another listen.
The Port Chester run was pretty special though... :thumbsup:
I put All Night Long from PC3 on my beach playlist and every single time I hear it, I think of the older gentleman with a head full of white hair who was in the front row of the Loge that was ROCKING away during this song and then seeing him outside the theater afterwards where he had a "these guys blew my mind" look.
If you haven't heard, Check out Touch Me Part 2, in a while, you should check it out again. It is the greatest!! That plus a long PWW and a super Dondante with horns all during the same show. Unvelievable. I hope another three night run happens somewhere soon.
