Title: The official Albany review...they blew...
Post by: The_Bear on May 15, 2006, 12:17 PM
The fucking roof OFF!!!!!!

It was the greatest musical night of my life!!!!

HIGHLIGHTS:

They opened with my favorite MMJ song..."At Dawn"....when Jim started singing i could NOT believe it was really happening...i looked over at my best friend and he saw the look on my face "favorite song??" :)

Fuckin One big holiday.....i don't really listen to that song anymore on record...but let me tell you....the crowd that was slowly gathering to see what the fuck was happening cheered like crazy at the end of this one.

Wordless chorus was fantastic...this is my favorite off the new one, and they nailed it!

Mahgeetah...what else can i say....they closed with this one and it was one of the highlights of any concert i've been to :)

ONLY PROBLEM: they were just getting warmed up when they finished the last song on the set....the crowd was into it just when they left...

cheers,
Matt

Great post!  I was like, "He better say "the roof off" or it's on!

Glad to hear they pulled in a crowd with their "tasty riffs".

Leave 'em wanting more!!

I have a feeling the boys are going to be gaining a lot of new fans on this tour.

And what a great setlist they've picked to play!

Peace,
