WOW...Jim back to work straight on his solo shit only a day of rest from Red Rocks...I love how Jim never stops but...I just want the guy to be okay physically...but I guess he never feels better than when he's creating.
Love to hear the new solo songs, at the same time a live Jacket release, then August 2017 sees the release of a new Jacket record.
WHOA! Seth from Floating Action is on bass today! Unreal!

How's it looking over there? Is the street closed off yet? Do you think I'll be able to get in if I get there right around 6?
Sorry for the barrage of questions. Any insight you might have might help. I'm feeling a stomach bug come on, probably have to leave work early. I'm just trying to see how early

wow, the man is relentless!
i have to say, if Jacket announced a show in my back yard this afternoon i would hesitate to add my name to the roll call just because i'm so completely satisfied from Louisville and Red Rocks that it would almost be too much.
...he took two days to make his way all the way across the country to play with a completely different band and to play songs that he mostly has not played in a very long time.
Clearly, he's feeling it right now!

Ahhhhhh Candyman!!! Was hoping for that this entire mini-tour. Makes more sense that he would play it on his own since it was technically a Jim Solo cover.
Can someone please Periscope this? Dying to see if they play all of those covers.

Sorry did not mean Dead One, I meant Dear One!!
Nooooo!!!!!
I wish I saw this earlier or it was later. :cry:
This kind of thing is another great perk when living in NYC is this kind of stuff. I got to see the Foo Fighters in the mid 90s at HMV and the Virgin Megastore. I can't recall how it was publicized back then.
If anyone can post JJ highlights from tonight that would be great.

...think that was about it. They also gave out the bomb bacon Mac n Chesse and Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream sandwiches.
Not a bad way to spend a Weds night.
No Candyman though?
Such a random event but my office is two blocks away so I was lucky to swing down and check it out. Sounded great and the weather was perfect. Put up a picture and a couple clips on instagram if anyone wants to check them out: https://www.instagram.com/tremagazine99/
