Very Funny Ms. Y. Yes, I'll miss my PC line buddies for this one, though did Paul tell you that we bumped into each other at a Nels Cline show in Oakland last week?
If only this show was a week earlier, I may have made it, as I likely will be in D.C. then. D'oh!

I knew what you meant. I was just trying to be funny.
What time are you getting in line? I'm already in line. I've got my tent, Whippersnapper and I'll need you to send over some food a couple of times tomorrow. If you want to come spell me and let me go to your house to shower, please feel free. I've only had a few beer cans thrown at me and I've made some spare change.

Fully, I think I'd like to spell you, but I'm not sure how one does such a thing or what it actually entails. Is it hygienic? Do we need latex barriers, etc.?
Also, if you spent the night in front of the 9:30 Club, you would be lucky to wake up still in possession of all your limbs.

Yes, you need a latex barrier. In fact, I'm covered in latex right now. It's hard to drink anything through it. If you really don't know what it means to come spell me, I'll just see you on Tuesday. I might be able to pay this guy who's sleeping in a box beside me to save my spot while I find a bathroom to take a whore's bath in.
If everything goes according to plan, this will be me at about 11:30 PM on Tuesday night.

You have a lot to look forward to. So far, there are seven of us down here. We've been passing around the box wine all day to make the time go by faster. I'll probably be ready for Flake to come pick me up soon. I don't think I'm cut out for this.
Tuesday should be an awesome day, Roll Call Tix on sale that morning and then this show that night. Now just hoping that the crowd is at least decent for this show since it is at 9:30.
So its not looking like there's going to be an early entry for Roll Call or at least they haven't sent anything out yet. Just means more time out in the rain tomorrow night.
What time do doors open and what time does the show start? The ticket and website only say 7.

A general question for roll callers going to tonight's show - our tickets are at will call and we bring an ID and the credit card used, right? Thanks!
Anxiously waiting to see if we get early admission tonight, seems late compared to other venues.

Email about early entry for tonight just showed up, but the times given are wrong. The email says doors at 6, early entry at 5:45, but the 9:30 club website has doors at 7, and they are never wrong about that, and doors there never open more than an hour before showtime.
So, how it should actually go is doors at 7, Roll Call early entry at 6:45.
Will be there! May have an extra ticket... Also, anyone have good tips for parking? Last time I was there I parked in the ghetto (oh shit, run).

Actually the info didn't end up being too wrong, just confusing, and obviously shared way too late.
The 9:30 club has a downstairs bar area and on show nights they will open that bar one hour before the doors of the venue open and let the first 30 people in line hang out in that bar for that hour until the doors open and then those people get let in first.
What they did last night was open the bar area at 6 (venue doors at 7) but opened it up only to roll call people. So at 6 they pulled the Roll Call people out of the line and let us down into the bar. Because the bar was only Roll Call people, even people that got there after 6 could still get into the bar because it didn't fill to capacity.
It was actually a great setup and the early entry worked very smoothly. The 9:30 club is usually good at pulling stuff like that off, probably the most competent venue I've ever had the pleasure of attending. They never screw anything up.

Amazing, incredible show!
Having already seen Jim's show once (at McKittrick Hotel), I had high expectations, but as usual with Jim/MMJ even those high expectations were completely blown out of the water.
Got to share the rail with my dear Flake, Mr. and Mrs. Manonthemoon, and APR, which made it a great night as well.
The big surprise of the night was the "acoustic" segment of the encores was three songs: a Willie Nelson cover (anyone know the name?), Wonderful and HOPEFULLY :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:.
I think Jim was inspired to do Hopefully by someone who was holding up a sign for it for the whole main set. We were kind of laughing at this person's persistence and dedication (they literally never put the sign down), but I guess it was rewarded.
It was great to see how much the band had gelled and the performances of the ROLSOG songs have continued to expand into epic wonderfulness, particularly the ending of Dear One, and the jams on All is Forgiven and God's Love to Deliver.
I'm also so, so happy with what the encore segment has become as opposed to the first few shows where it was MMJ songs. It was great to hear the MOF stuff again, particularly His Master's Voice. What an incredible new reading/interpretation of that song with this band instead of performed solo. Losin' Yo Head lived up to it's title with a great jam at the end. In the middle of the song, Jim broke one of his guitar strings (the high E string) but didn't miss a beat and still played a crazy jam. I also loved the harder, jammed out treatment of Changing World as compared to how it was performed with New Multitudes.
If I had the option to do it all again tonight, I would do so in a heartbeat, and the night after that, and the night after that...
So I'll see you in Nashville Thursday night, Whippy? I've got an extra ticket ;)
Another great show, sounds like, and Hopefully! Sweet!

HOPEFULLY!!! holy crap that is awesome. I may have to bring a sign to the next few I'm going to.
Damn, I feel like the second half of this tour is getting much better encores! I be jealous. :shocked:
Got to say, it was indeed a great show. Re: the person holding the Hopefully sign -- I guess it's cool that they played it, but man, that was annoying being the person behind them and constantly having that sign blocking my view. And not only that, but when Jim would walk off to the side of the stage and let the band do their thing, those people would stalk Jim trying to flag his attention and point to the sign. Kinda rude IMO. I eventually moved. Ok, off my soapbox, blah. Kinda enjoyed the view the balcony even better.
I haven't heard/seen any live clips from this tour so I was really surprised how they do an extended jam on God's Love -- didn't see that one coming.. was really awesome.

But...But....But.... Hopefully!!!
I agree thought that it would get old fast... Then again, HOPEFULLY!!!
It was a terrific show. Being on the rail was pretty awesome. Of course, Mr. Whippy and Flake are great to hang out with. But everyone around our area that I met were really cool and so stoked for the show. It does seem like MMJ fans are quite cool and knowledgable about music. Of course there were a couple people yelling things inappropriately but not often.
Almost every song from the album was extended with some interesting and rocking jam. I am not the biggest M of Folk fan, but I liked those songs better in person. I didn't think Changing World would be a great closer, but it turned out to be a great one thanks to the last few minutes when Jim grabbed a guitar again they blew out the ending with some loud, sonic crazyness.
I watched the last two songs from the center balcony and glad I did. It was a different but also outstanding perspective to watch and listen from there. I'm going to try to remember to get different vantage points again. There is a reason Rolling Stone just named the 9:30 Club the best large room venue.
Some funny Jim banter..... some people yelled Happy Birthday. He said thanks. He then told the crowed that before the tour started he had his band sign a contract that says if anyone has a birthday during the tour, then the celebration must last a week. Since this show was within "that window" of time, celebrating was "mandatory" and they are partying hard.

Of course, Mr. Whippy and Flake are great to hang out with.
Quoted for posterity and awesomeness :thumbsup:.
I agree about the Hopefully sign would have been really annoying if you were stuck behind it, and trying to bother Jim when he is offstage is really inappropriate.
It's cool though, that it got us a great and rare song selection, though. I just hope it doesn't start a trend. Anyone who has seen Springsteen in the last few years can tell you about sign requests going way too far.
One other minor gripe is how people seemed to need to yell stupid shit almost constantly through the Willie cover. It was almost like it was impossible to achieve a moment where all you heard was Jim. Luckily Wonderful and Hopefully lulled people into submission.
Forgot to mention..... there was a taper there. I'm no expert, but it looked like a pretty good rig, and it was right next to the soundboard.
And Manonthemoon, good meeting you and Mrs. Manonthemoon and hope to see you at MMJ/Wilco/Dylan at MPP.

So glad to hear you had an amazing show! Sounds similar to the show in Louisville. Sort of leaves you aching for more as the experience is almost otherworldly. I can't believe I missed this by a day :cry:
I'm only scheduled to see this tour once more, at Newport, but I'm wondering how it will translate in an outdoor, daylight setting.
The show was flat out awesome and it got me through a 17 work day today on 4 hours of sleep. I really loved how they streched the album out to about 1 hour and 15 minutes worth of music and IMO improved on the album version of each song. The Dear One was just sick in person and the drummer had an awesome solo that was pretty impressive. Was so glad to get Hopefully, but hoping for a Bermuda Highway Friday in Asheville, love that song. It was also awesome that there was no real space between the rail and the stage so we were super close to Jim the entire time. I think there were a ton of ET moments going on throughout the night.
The one thing that did bother me was the tall hipster who was the one shouting through both Cold Specks and JJs sets. Both aren't the loudest of music so it was pretty distracting to everyone as they were trying to listen to the show.
Other than that it was great seeing everyone again, Jon and Kevin, and meeting you Adam, Jeff and wife IIRC. Rob, you and your wife were missed, but being abroad is a pretty nice consolation prize. Now we can't wait for MPP this summer, keeping the fingers crossed that Jacket will get the headlining nod for that show. Cheers.
Oh and I just wanted to chime in that the Roll Call early entry thing worked great last night, could not have been easier or better. Now I just hope that the next time MMJ tours solo they follow the same format or plan. I always tend to gripe when they screw stuff up so wanted to actually mention it when they got something right.
Taping is up!

Yes! That guy was so obnoxious and annoying. He would shout "Love You!" in the middle of songs during Jim's set, and it even turned in to "Love you, you sexy beast," later in the show. People can be so utterly oblivious to how their actions might affect others.

Jim James @ 9:30 Club, Washington, DC 2013-04-30 (FLAC and MP3) (http://www.mediafire.com/?8fibjusmd329hza)
MrWhippy. The Willie Nelson cover is Funny. Can`t believe he played it and how lucky you were to be there. There,s a great R&B cover of that song by Joe Hinton on an LP from Rhino Records released in the 60`s. called Soul Shouts. Priceless. When i saw the set list i wondered if he did Willie`s version or Joe Hinton`s. Also very disapointed we saw him the night before. good for you.
So it looks like this, tracklist-wise, was the show of the tour so far.
I'm sure it was an amazing time as well.
Out of all the songs that they would realistically play from their catalog, Hopefully is probably my whitest of wales. Some day... Until then I refuse to listen to any recordings of it :)
