Who cares about the PJ setlist! What did the Jacket play?!?
Still no setlist, but MMJ were onstage for Rockin' in the Free World
Okay, the reviews are coming in slowly to the PJ boards...
One Big Holiday opener, "about half of what was pl;ayed was from Z, the rest was a mix"
Quotebut MMJ were onstage for Rockin' in the Free World
Fucking wow! I'd LOVE to hear that...
QuoteStill no setlist, but MMJ were onstage for Rockin' in the Free World
I called it!!!
Okay. Holy crap.
This is from my memory and it's not in the right order.
One Big Holiday
Mahgeetah
Gideon
Wordless Chorus
Anytime
The Way That He Sings
Wonderful Man
Golden
I think that's it... They were awesome. The sound was actually way better than I would have thought. I could hear everybody's instruments clearly, which was very very cool.
The god damn rockin' in the free world cover was crazy fun. Jim and Patrick and Carl came on stage with tambourines, and sang. It was pretty fun.
It was a great night. Now I need to prepare to do it again. :)
I'll talk about PJ later. That was some intensity, holy shit.
NICE!
how did the crowd respond to them? how many people were in thier seats by the time they came on?
I somehow get the feeling that she either
a) went back to sleep
b) went back to work
I've been on the board all morning anticipating the setlist and I never saw her name at the bottom, so she was apparently only on long enough to post the set.
She may be at the doctor getting her face sewn back on 'cause it sounds like she had it melted off last night.
hahahaha. No, I had to talk to my roommate who played a show last night to five people and wasn't feelin' too happy about it. I explained that possibly everybody was at the Air Canada Centre seeing MMJ and PJ, but I don't think it made her feel too better. :(
Crowd was really into MMJ. It was about hmmm 30 or 40% when they started, and got fuller and fuller. I was sitting near Daniel Lanois (!!!) and he was INTO it. Big time. They really rocked. It was scary in there. Like, at one point, me and my brother just looked around at everything (people, lights) and we were like "holy shit. i'd be scared." But they were awesome. I mean, of course they were awesome, they're never not awesome, even when there're sound issues and stuff. (Which there weren't, except for one tone that could've been feedback every once in a while, but it happened for PJ, too).
People were singin' to the songs. It was a very very fun time. Seriously, though, I need to get some fucking ear plugs or my head will explode tonight.
At least then it will match my face. ;)
PJ:
I'm not really sure that I could say anything you guys wouldn't already know. I remember seeing them when 10 first came out. It's not that different. They've still got the same intensity and energy and they still get into their songs and have fun. EV takes "breaks" during instrumental parts to go and smoke and drink wine. haha. That's pretty fun. My brother and I were at the side where he took his microbreaks, and he's all "That's fucking awesome."
I mean they do totally rock. They're really tight and they sound good and they REALLY seem to make sure all the fans are taken care of. They look all over the place so that people feel like they saw them, Mike McC was TEARING around the stage. EV jumped on one of the big speakers at one point, and it looked very rock and roll. The crowd were singing along, and I haven't heard a sound like what came from that cheering... possibly ever in my life. Bonnaroo kids went crazy, but there wasn't a ceiling there. It was an intense energy.
I liked PJ a lot. You feel like they're just some dudes who try to do the best they can to keep everything out of the stupid realm (ie ego and iconoclastic) and they can play good and they have some serious rock songs that people can freak out to. It was fun. I would say that would be the word of the night: fun. Everybody had fun. That's awesome. That's a lot of people all having fun together.
There was a fucking lot of weed. The ACC was a hotbox. No shit.
this thread is sexy
what time did they take the stage?
Quotethis thread is sexy
what time did they take the stage?
MMJ started at 7:30, and PJ started around 8:45 and went until 11:15 - they had two encores. When RITFW was played, the lights in the whole stadium were on, so it kind of felt like everybody was rockin' out in your friend's basement or something.
If your friend was a sultan.
And I know you guys love stuff like this, so the boys were totally rockin' out and running around stage, and Jim kept hitting PJ members with his tambourine. At one point he hit EV in the head. Which EV seemed to like. :)
The god damn organ that they use is AWESOME. Holy crap. That is some exciting shit.
AWESOME!!! Thanks for those posts EC. Glad you had a great time! And you get to do it all over again TONIGHT! :D
QuoteAWESOME!!! Thanks for those posts EC. Glad you had a great time! And you get to do it all over again TONIGHT! :D
A few more weeks and that's going to be us bro. Meg's got me really excited. If they are already doing Rocking In The Free World with them they'll surely have some new covers worked out together by the time they get to East Rutherford. ;D
EC gets the rock star award! Gets to see the Jacket 2x within a month, spanning 650 miles and sitting near Daniel Lanois (wonder what a Jacket album would sound like with him????)
Great review, I was there with you all the way; you and your bro on the side, me looking around in the crowd for people older than me...
Fantastic! You have a great life!
there is a small thread over at the Pj boards:

;D ;D and 1/2 for mylifeisought and ;D ;D and 1/2 for EC. Nice work guys! Keep it coming tonight!
easily the best concert ive been to. ithe energy was so much that i think i lost about 10 lbs. MMJ were awesome but i was seriously pissed that not enough were in yet. my whole section was almost empty, but i never sat down. me and my buddy were rocking so hard all night my neck is fucked.
and as far as the crazy amount of weed that was smoked, oh man. i was so high, and this is no lie, when i opened my eyes(i rock out with my eyes closed alot) i forgot where i was, and almost fell over everytime. check out PJ setlist too, barely a slow song to be found, which was crazy.
i was hoping the RITFW would have had the boys and there instruments, but tambourines will do.a beautiful show, i cant beleive its over......
i called my mom during "the way that he sings" cause she loves it, and i have it saved on my answering machine,hahahha i could go on forever, but im sure no one will read it cause theyre at it again as i type this.(wordless chorus was awesome!!!!!his voice in real life is just as incredible)
rockin in the free world...

what'd they play last night?
Quotewhat'd they play last night?
yet again i meant to write it down to be accurate for all of you, and yet again i was so absorbed in the rock that every other brain function disappeared. it was a totally different set list with a couple of carry-overs.
At Dawn
The Way that He Sings
Lay Low (hot)
Wordless Chorus (included much strutting. ho.lay)
Off the Record
One Big Holiday
Run Thru
shit shit brain shit c'mon
oh god i'm an asshole. that's all i can remember for sure. ryan corpse, can you help me out?
At Dawn was the opener. And it just set the tone. It was spectacular. The whole set was ridiculous. It was wonder.ful. I think the set was longer. But I didn't time it.
There was no MMJ/PJ collab. last night, but PJ were awesome. They were definitely longer.
I wore earplugs. They were good.
It was awesome. You people who're gonna see this, you get yourselves prepared and put a seatbelt on. :)
*sports wood*
Lay Low. Sweet.

great pic!! :D
I only went to the second show, and I really wish I had gone to the first. Mostly because RITFW is my favourite non MMJ song, and they were out there rockin out to it! fuck!!
I also wish I had read this board before the show, cause then I would have known to show up before 730, rather than 745 and miss the first couple songs. I came in during one big holiday. I still saw about 6 MMJ songs, but I would have killed to see that At Dawn opener.
I was a bit dissapointed to not see MMJ out there at all during Pearl Jam, but once the PJ energy got up, I knew they were gonna ride out the show solo.
Did anyone hear Eddie thank MMJ for coming out, cause I didn't. That would be a bit dissapointing.
too much complaining. Still an amazing show. nice pic too!
i want to sex up ed and jim. and well...everyone else on that stage.
they better play tons of songs together in hartford!!!
cc baxter you win....

God bless this thread. I'm going to see them on the 30th in DC and reading this just gets me all worked up and antsy. I'll make sure to bring a pen and paper and let you know the set list from DC (i know better than to rely on my memory alone).
I hope everyone who got tickets has as much fun as i plan to.
be good all

Ha, I know it's from the heart, but it damn sure is out of key!
There's also a funny (and quickly abandoned) attempt at singing seven seconds into wordless chorus.
Thanks for posting the clips, damn the arena in Toronto is like a huge reverb chamber for Jim. Whoa.
Just found this on you tube. Eddie's band before PJ "Bad Radio'. What the funk is up!!! Cool to finally see Eddie in action pre PJ. :D

Damn jrat, if I knew you were going to make some clips I would have chipped in for some better seats! ;)
Just kiddin, thanks for posting, I eat that shit up.
OK New York, your on the clock. I'm not feeling to good about you since I havn't heard from anybody that's going to the show. Is there anybody out there? Is there anybody...................OUT THERE!?
hahahha that failed attempt at wordless chorus, was yours truly. the difference between me and my friend......i know i suck. i also scream "off the record!!!!!!" during, of course, off the record
and as far as my seats, they do seem to far away, but they were actualy only 14 rows from the floor, and one section from the side of the stage. besides, i hear eddy's only 4'3", so he just looked tiny from no matter where. ;)
COMMON NEW YORK!!!!!
oh, and my same buddy is hitting up Hartford tommrow, and taking more footage from 5th row centre!!!!! so ill have some more to throw at you guys!!!

WELL, I don't really know what to say about all of that but..............THANK GOD For STONE and JEFF. There is Bad Radio and then there is BAD RADIO, it's a close call as to which one is worse. It makes me feel good that you can progress from THAT into something truly magical.

It kind of sounded like early chili peppers! I can see just a touch of mother love bone in there somewhere too, but yeah, pretty scary!
