new song...??? hell yes!
QuoteMove On Up (new song :D :D :D)
Are you sure it wasn't a cover of the Curtis Mayfield classic? The boys would kill that, especially with an orchestra!
It could have been, but it mentioned that there was a new song on the other thread and unless it's missing from the setlist... :-/

I'm almost positive that this is a cover and not a new song. It was fantastic with the orchestra.
i read on Rolling Stone that it was a Curtis Mayfield song called "Keep On Pushing"
It was definitely some solid gold 70's shit......so I'm going with a cover.
I have about a minute and a half of footage of it. As well with the whole
runt time of "Anytime" ( which bolsters a rare Carl fuck up ) ? I think it was
Carl......anyhow, I got Gideon too, and some of just one thing, and the end
of Run Thru, and the cover.
I'll have them up soon, oh yeah, and all of Laylow.
And a little bit of dancefloors too! But you probably don't
want to hear about it much, and would just rather I post
it already......I'm working on it.
Oh yeah, Jim accidentally came out and said lovely "shitty" of Chicago...so funny
total accident, but funny none the less.
And to a many displeasure, I was not in viewing of Bo, or Patrick. :-[ But what
can you do? There were so many people there, and I arrived in the middle of
KOL..........The boy's made me proud though. You could tell they were stoked.
Alright, next time I post, I'll be putting the youtube links up.
Cheers for now,
-MJ
Quoteand the cover.
THAT'S what I wanted to hear!
Thanks Jernigan!
Sounds like it was fun! How many kids were in the orchestra? And are we talking little kids of 17/18 year olds?
I saw a couple pics on Getty - with the Candy Land(?) backdrop. Could you decipher the "theme" Carl and Patrick mentioned they were working on?
Jernigan, can't WAIT to see your clips & photos. I haven't got one good shot. :(
The show was so truly electric & Fun. There was a anticipatory buzz before they came on.
They all came out wearing purple suit jackets (velvet?) with black vests, pants and ties. They seemed so humbled but at the same time truly owning that stage. We couldn't see really well. We had gone to see Iggy & the Stooges set (which was pure Iggy craziness, he invited half the audience come up on stage to dance....and they did!). So we booked over to the other side of the fest ( a good half mile) and tried to get as close as we could - an hour before the show. We sat in the midst of a bunch of PJ fans. They were very cool, afteward they were nodding and smiling. One of them said to ChiefOkono and I that he was now a believer! :)
Anyhow, it was really hard to gauge what was happening on stage but the sound was incredible. The candyland backdrop was a surprise and very fitting with the kids theme. Opening with Anytime was a good choice - the crowd got into it. I think Jim has a new black guitar - it was so shiny and the sound was crisp. We were dancing our asses off, I always feel like non-Jacket fans might think it's a bit much but we didn't care. It was a great night and the skyline was gorgeous.
Obviously, Z was the record of the day - Gideon with the Children's orchestra was moving. They showed clips of the kids as they were playing and so many of them had these HUGE smiles on their faces. I couldn't see how many were up there but when we saw them in Chicago it seemed to be about 20. One of the highlights for me was Just One Thing....right before the show it looked like it was going to storm and suddenly the skies were clear & blue and there was a nice breeze...ahh, the Jacket outdoors is truly wonderful. The accents by the orchestra gave the show an almost brand-new take on songs like Golden - which was clearly impressive to the PJ people.
The other highlight had to be Move On Up - the soul was front and center. Jim was singing so sweetly. I love hearing what they cover, it's never predictable. Anyhow, I am hoping this one was taped. It needs to be heard by all of this forum.
And a quick note to the forum members we did meet - Sky, Collen and Ms. Yvon. Good to see smiling faces and meet some of you. Missed seeing the others but we just couldn't get that close - and we didn't want to be "those" kind of people. All in all the Jacket set was the high point for me....and that's sandwiched between Iggy and PJ.

Nice review Jacketgirl. Thanks!
Jim kinda looks like Yusuf Islam with that haircut.
I'd love to hear him do "Don't Be Shy".
All I can say is the Boys done good. My two highlights were "Just 1 Thing" (Actually my highlight of the entire fest) and "Dancefloors." I have always loved Dancefloors live and having the horns playing behind them live made it even better. As far as Just 1 Thing, it was amazing how in a huge crowd and festival setting, that song didn't lose any of its intimacy, I loved it. The whole show was great and should have created a whole new batch of fans.
QuoteJim kinda looks like Yusuf Islam with that haircut.
HAHAHA
Looks like he buzzed his hair back down since telluride. he must be diggin the short hair.
I'd like to see pics of this new guitar. Thanks for the review, Jacketgirl and for the setlist, thedark. good work, peeps!
Before Pearl Jam came on, we were standing next to some guys who were telling their friends (who had watched Modest Mouse instead) that they thought MMJ was the best band they had seen all weekend.
I'm so freakin jealous that they played Just One Thing. I love that song. It's in my "white whale shortlist," which includes:
Just one thing
At Dawn
Hopefully
Still haven't seen any of these live. It's just a matter of time...
Will someone please second that Jim and the boys would absolutely MURDER
Goodbye Yellowbrick Road by Elton John. If I ever meet him I'm gonna tell him.

That's not a bad suggestion. i know that jim loves that song, you should tell him if you meet him. I don't think I have a white whale song but I have some songs I haven't heard in years that I'd love them to bring back:
honest man
war begun
tyrone
Unbelievable set. I really hope this show somehow surfaces...... but I havent seen many torrents up from Lolla shows in the past :-/
Will be a shame if there is no recording of either show mmj did with the chicago youth symphony orchestra
Yo aMD,
I've seen a lot of complaints lately about Honest Man. I love that song. It always makes me think of a smoky honky-tonk bar in the middle of nowhere. I have a recording of it that's pretty recent (can't place it at the moment, it's a taping) and they rock it so hard. Big fan.
Unrelated, I maintain that the version of Run Thru I submitted is better than the current one posted :P
In the Lolla program it said that later this year (Sept. maybe? I don't remember for sure.) they will be selling recordings of various sets on iTunes and that last year they had 25 main stage bands that they sold. Hopefully this year they have MMJ. Pearl Jam would be sweet too.
Can anybody say Dancefloors?

very nice.
getinthevan, i wonder if since the powers that be didn't see fit to broadcast the performance in the AT&T room, will they bother to sell the MMJ performance as audio? It would seem like a no brainer, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were looked over. >:(
Here's the cover.....

Cheers Jernigan! It's a shame that the clip didn't run to the end. The song finishes with an amazing lengthy instrumental wig-out. Let's hope a taping surfaces soon...
Just one thing.......this vid is pretty bad, but given with what it was
taking with, the audio is damn good.

thanks for posting that! i wish i could have been there!!
Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. Me and my bro got to the AT&T stage pretty early about half way thru the Dax Riggs set, which wasnt to bad. We staked out a spot about 25-30 yards from the stage left-center. We met a group of PJ fans that were really, really cool and we saved spots for each other for bathroom/water/digital oasis runs. Lupe Fiasco was more entertaining than I had expected, I wasnt really familar with any of his work. KOL really got the day going for me. They sounded tight and played a good mix of songs and brought Ed Vedder out for the last song which kicked ass. The last half hour before MMJ came on honestly felt like about 4 years. After KOL was done it started getting extremely packed. MMJ put on one hell of a show, very high energy. Also I dont believe I've ever seen a band having more fun on stage. Lots and lots of smiles especially from Jim and Tom. Highlights for me were Dancefloors, One Big Holiday(how could you ever get sick of this song live?), Run Thru( fucking amazing), Move On Up, and Jim's fantastic POWER SLIDE during Wordless Chorus(which I can't believe no one mentioned yet). After MMJ was done clostraphobia was setting in so we bolted for the back. We grabbed some food, caught a couple songs of TV On The Radio set, and found a spot to sit on the grass for PJ. We didnt see PJ so much as we watched them on the big screen and listened :). During Alive they started letting off fireworks and they lasted for about 3 songs or so. The fireworks were amazing with the Chicago skyline and PJ playing. Perfect way to end an amazing day.
Cheers 4 the review Jeffro! :)
QuoteCheers 4 the review Jeffro! :)
The end of Move On Up was killer DB. I'm not familar with the original, but they brought the rock to the end of the song.
Someone asked earlier about the age of the orchestra and to me it looked like they had kids as young as 12 or 13 up to 16 or 17. I couldnt tell for sure, but it looked like they all were wearing purple hospital scrubs. The conductor also must of been a fan because he was rocking out and I even saw him singing along to a couple of songs.

Here you go Jeffro! This is for you & anyone else who hasn't heard the original - shame on you! ;)
Just make sure you go out & buy some Mr. Mayfield, the album 'Curtis' that this song is on is an excellent starting point :)

:D :D :D
jernigan you fucking rock!!
man, that version is so on the money. bo shines and shines laying down those sweet keys.
when they started that groove yesterday, it just blew my mind.
AAAHHHHHHHH!! more jacket shows soon, please!
I can't believe I forgot about Jim's power slide!
I'll just keep my fingers crossed that they'll still sell a recording of the show on iTunes. Or maybe the band will release it as something to hold everyone over until the next album. After all, a recording of them with the CYSO would be pretty sweet.
Thanks Jernigan, a nice little taste of what I missed.
A short piece of Golden with very good audio....

5 posts! Sorry....
Here is 3 minutes of movin on up, again crackly sound but wow, what a great cover! Man, I hope somebody taped this. Check out Jim at the end, it looks like it's just getting started at the three minute mark.

Oops, thanks man. (a few too many glasses of wine last night.)
Man was it freakin hot. We got in just as Kings of Leon started. We got up about 20 yards from stage and could have gotten closer if we really wanted to. I thought they were a big letdown. I've never heard anythng by them, and I liked a couple of their songs immensely. But they had no stage prescence together at all. I don't even think they interacted together. And the drummer was out of his gourd. Anyway, who cares. I got to go to wrigley and see mmj destroy it. Only 2 things I noticed that they could have done better. 1) I think the cover should have come earlier, it was kind of a letdown after run through. Not that it wasn't freakin awesome, but they had actually got the pj fans going hard during run thru, and the energy from the crowd kind of dissipitated for the curtis cover. Second, they didn't lead a mutiny and keep playing all night. It was great to see them, I can't freakin wait for a new record.

Here is my version of Run Thru ( starting at the climax )....same
crappy angle, decent audio.

I have a short clip of Wordless, and all of Laylow in it's entirety that
I should have a link for in a few days.
I was on cloud 9 the entire set. I finally made it up front for a show. The pj fans next to me who weren't entirely familiar with mmj let me stand in front of them so i could see better. I took so many pictures, but my camera isn't the greatest.
Jernigan...judging from your video shots, it looks like we were standing near one another. I was the girl between kol and mmj holding up a green umbrella so my friends could find me. Thanks for posting the videos.
mmj with an orchestra sounded more amazing than I would have ever dreamed.
Quotethe energy from the crowd kind of dissipitated for the curtis cover.
Quite right, it's only one of the greatest songs of all time covered by the best band playing today, backed up by a big-ass orchestra ::)
Pearl Jam fans confuse me sometimes.

SPECTACULAR!!!! holy cow! i love watching them beat the cheese out of that song from this perspective.
sweet jesus!
sitting here at my desk i threw my arms in the air, and threw a few metal horns. YOW!
(security just walked by. i wonder if someone called... ;D )
QuoteI was the girl between kol and mmj holding up a green umbrella ...
amybee--i used your umbrella as a point of reference when trying to describe to jacketgirl and chiefokonokos where i was standing. i wasn't near you, just used it in a "do you see the green umbrella, i'm to the left..." manner. ;D
am now binge viewing okonokos. am gonna ride the high of this show as long as possible. these non-tour seasons are tough to get through. ;)
holy hell, this dvd is fantastic. beautiful.
forgot to mention: during one song i thought i saw seanmurph up on the big screen. i shouted "MUUUURPH!" right in the middle of the song. ;D

Yeah...I made so many new friends because of that umbrella! That's so funny! I hope they found you. I'm also happy to know that there were actually some mmj fans in the vicinity. At the time I felt like I was surrounded by pj fans and I was that girl who was way too into it ::) Everyone was really cool though.
