I noticed the lights every night. The first two just felt right color wise, and there was a marked change on Thursday with ISM to bright and energetic
The whole Z night made me feel like I was at Okonokos
And my buddy was just blown away by how the Highly Suspicious yellow/purple combo fit right
Bravo.
"Make it dark, Marc-y..."
this was one of my favorite moments. the horns with horns.

the lighting was phenomenal.
Quotethe lighting was phenomenal.
It beats 4 u.....is always the high point for the light show. I loved alot of the single lighting for the softer songs.....it brought the songs to a new level.
the lights during gideon plus the glow sticks plus everything the band was doing made it amazing. i never really considered them a band with an amazing light show but this past week left me just as impressed as many other light shows i've seen. very good stuff.
maybe this has been discussed already, but it's as if the lights improved each night, sort of representing the stage of progression as they traveled through MMJ time (as pointed out to me by a friend at the shows). They absolutely brought out the sickest of the lights on the EU night, lights they hadn't used any of the previous nights. It wouldn't have been right to have those lights rocking for the earlier nights....that's not where the band was during those years. The lights during EU were off the charts!
i looooooved the lights....my "enhanced" state of mind really appreciated the lighting each night

The glow sticks were cool but the people throwing them at the band was totally out of line. I saw one hit Tom in the head. Come on, I know everyone is having a good time but don't throw them at the band.

Agreed, I don't understand why people throw them at the band, it just doesn't make sense to me...
The EU glowstick throw was such a failure, though, at least it appeared as so from the balcony, the sticks thrown weren't even glowing, they looked like they had been lit the previous night, and left over, so they were all dead. pretty funny.

i have a love/hate relationship w/ the glowsticks. they sure do look cool as hell flying thru the air, especially when you've done things to, ummm, enhance. looking back & seeing all those pretty colors was neat-O.
but when people take it to the point of winging them AT the band, i just don't understand the thinking behind that.
Lights were pretty fuckin awesome. Especially the last night.
Highly Suspicious!

Right on.
The back drop on staff for Z fit in real well. "into the woods"!!!!
the lights were cool... especially EU night.
I grabbed these lighting schematics on Z night I believe. Sorry for the crappy pics.

My friends and I brought the glowsticks on Friday strictly for the 2 min mark of Gideon. Was so pumped for that moment and loved it all. That's when the crappy part came in when the frat boys in front started throwing them on stage. Was so mad until Yim was cool about it and played the guitar with one of them.
Anyone have video of Gideon? Like to see what it looked like from outside
I'm claiming that this ^ is the same dude as hacksaw
Ha, no Hacksaw here. Just actually read the threads with the Hacksaw reference.
The person throwing the glowsticks towards the stage was actually the same kid who decided to crowd surf and fell straight to the ground

The frat boys were next to me and Steam Engine that night. Jerk offs. Your name is cool, I hope you're not a frat boy douchey douche. ;)

That's the fucker that kicked me in the face >:(
Yeah, it was a group of about 5 kids who started pushing their way from the front right moving back so we let half through. They decided to just stop in front of us. Guys were right in front of all the girls we were with and being extra rude. One guy had a full suit for some reason. This was my 7th Jacket show of he year and the first time I encountered fans like that. Figured I would have seen worse fans left over from Better Than Ezra when I saw them at JazzFest but even those High Schoolers were better.
From the 3rd floor, the I saw the glowsticks get distro'd. They seemed to originate from the area where the girls with glowing horns were standing.
There was a definite frat douche that got involved. He stood out in a pastel-yellow polo shirt and the kind of body that only results from years of consuming cheap beer

I saw the whole incident from up on the balcony. I just happened to be looking across the crowd when I saw that douchebag get over the crowd. I was pretty psyched to see him go splat but not happy to see he got you on the way down. I also thought Bob got kicked but later he told me it was a glancing blow.
Such an idiot.

It's not like I got a black eye or anything but I was doing my thing so the shot kinda took me by surprise when I'm rockin' out.

Way to go Bob.
Nobody messes with forum folk! Especially when there's a Jersey guy around. ;)
Motherfuck a glowstick, for real.
MMJ's light crew has been doing an amazing job on this whole tour but I thought they completely outdid themselves at T5. Leave the lighting to the professionals - fantastic work, gents. :)
I didn't take many photos but here are some shots (mainly from highly suspicious)
