just setting up this thread as a place to post all observations on the Beacon Shows that begin tonight.
Looking forward to all 4 of these special shows and sharing it with so many of you.
Gonna need a vacation when this week is over.
I'll start. I've observed that I'm in fuckin' Iowa City and will miss yet another epic multi-night MMJ event...
I am, however, very happy for all of you who can manage these shows.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Great Idea Headhunter!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thoughts: CAN'T WAIT
Observations: It's only 2PM
Reviews: This afternoon, although busting with anticipation, is moving too slow.

Amazed

Around 9:10
Yeah, night one played out pretty much how I expected it to (very similar to SF and Austin night 1, but even better). Didn't see Into the Woods coming though, especially after Jim just talked about it being in his dog house in that interview. Maybe that was his way of messing with us.
I'm guessing tonight will be pretty great as well, just no idea what direction they will go.
I said on Twitter that "Never miss a Night 1" is Jacket's "Never miss a Sunday show"
Night 1 was as good as any Jacket show I've seen. Ever.
No one sat and that setlist was insane. Gonna be a helluva week!

It really was. I got a handful of tunes I was dying to hear and really wanted Into the Woods. The entire set was killer.

Can't add much more to this! Count me in as being blown away AGAIN!!
It was great seeing so many familiar faces and sharing this show with everyone. Kudos to a helluva crowd last night! The joint was packed to the last row, standing and rocking all night. Here's to doing it agian, and again, and again! :thumbsup: :beer:
Review: http://www.dubera.com/blog/review-my-morning-jacket-kicks-off-beacon-run-with-deep-cuts-photos-setlist
Thoughts on Night 2:
- ISM songs will replace heavy Z night 1.
- Will probably get a bunch of EU as well
I predict they open with Mahgeetah, to start off the It Still Moves night :drum:
I wonder if we will get one more night of the slower start to knock out a few more of the deeper cuts. A start like Wonderful, Hopefully, By My Car, Death is the Easy Way, Get the Point, Like a River before going heavy. I don't think we'll get the slower start on the weekend shows, but there's still a lot of slower, acoustic material to get though if they are in fact shooting for every song.
I called At Dawn as Night 1 opener and I Mahgeetah is a good choice for Night 2. I could see Believe opening as well but maybe that's Night 3.
So many highlights to choose from, but was that not the best version of Picture of You that anyone has ever heard. It's crazy to see what that song has become... God I can't wait to do that all over again tonight

There is a nice recording of the SF1 show in the Tapings section of the board which includes Picture of You.

Night two kicked SO MUCH ASS! Walking out, I said to myself that was the best show I've ever seen -- Jacket or not!!! What a night!
Phone was out of this world. And that power ending of State/Anytime/Mahgeetah was the perfect way to cap an all out barnburner of a show.
Need to hear this show again right now. Still ridin' high!!
I'm thinking and hoping that they will bust out another song from Regions of Light in the next two nights. Either God's Love to Deliver or All is Forgiven, one of the two they REALLY jammed on on his solo tour and I would love to see what the full band could do with it.

Not to be a downer, just for matter of debate, i'm not a fan of what Jim has done to the War Begun solo. And that used to be my absolutely favorite song. In my opinion when he goes all "metal hands" it often falls out of rhythm and breaks the enormous momentum that the band had going (and to me comes off as cheesy). To me, it was perfect around 2011-2012 (first time i heard it live at least) but maybe this an ugly duckling phase on the way to something even more spectacular. /unasked-for-critique

i think this pic is from Tuesday night right?
Anybody sit row a loge for these shows? Looks like an awesome spot fronm this pic and it appears people stood behind you so as well?
I have B tonight and have sat in A before. It's a killer vantage point and the sound is amazing.
That pic is from Tuesday. :thumbsup: :cool:
Reading these Beacon setlists stings- I had tickets for months and it was all systems are go as recently as the beginning of November. Then, life happened. I hope everyone that made it to this mini-NY residency enjoyed the shows- can't wait to hear them (I assume they'll harvest audio from the soundboard and throw them up for purchase like Port Chester/Red Rocks/One Big Holiday).
These have to be some of the craziest set lists in a while
These past 4 shows were truly outstanding.
The energy last night was spectacular and the show was one of my all-time favorites.
Nights 1 and 4 were my favorites for sure. MMJ totally owned the Beacon crowd. I've seen dozens of bands at The Beacon over the years but don't recall seeing shows were basically no one sat the whole night.
One for the ages. This run was up there with T5 and the 3 Port Chester shows for me. Great to see so many old friends and meet some wonderful new peeps.
Happy holidays everyone. Thanks for sharing the love.
The moment of silence was special. At first I thought some idiot was gonna ruin it, but Jim got everyone quiet to reflect. To hear such silence was remarkable. Glad everyone showed respect.
What a great run. Each night was special in its own way, with the night one and night 4 really standing out.
I think the last hour and a half of night 4 may be the most intense Jacket moment I have ever had. It was beautifully relentless, and basically knowing what was coming, what was left that needed to be played, really created a wonderful anticipation. At least for me.
The moment of silence was profound.
As for the Beacon: I have be going for since Jimmy Cliff in 1984. I thought the staff was fantastic, the sound supreme, drinks easy to acquire and always just so convenient to get to. And I will echo Headhunter: The Jacket absolutely owned the Beacon. I was just a little worried: The Beacon is not always an easy room. But no one sat the whole time - not something I ever remember being the case. Owned it.
Takeaways from the 4 shows in no particular order (I went to all but Friday)
-Jim made it pretty clear at the beginning of the moment of silence that it was a moment of silence. Since there are always a handful of idiots at any concert people began screaming their "Freebird!" or "I love you Jim" nonsense the moment it was supposed to start. Jim super smoothly reiterated what was going on and the moment of silence succeeded mightily.
- Covering I love you all the time was incredible. I honestly had never even heard of EODM before the tragic events but this song is INSTANTLY likeable and just an awesome song performed by this band. It fits so impressively that I predict it enters regular rotation (whenever that rotation starts up again).
-Every member of this band is so amazing on their respective instruments. For each member to play at the level they played throughout this run (literally PERFECTION) just amazes me. I never really developed my bass skills so I can't appreciate it to the same extent that a professional musician would but these guys do not flub. There were-without exaggeration- no mistakes I can think of.
- My final comment for the time being is that this Beacon run was awesome BUT I hope they don't play there again for a very long time. I much prefer the concept of them making their way around NYC between now and 2025 and performing at a) the new Loew's in Brooklyn b) Irving Plaza and/or Music Hall of Williamsburg (due to its size which would just be insane) c) radio city again and d) Port Chester again. Yes, eventually hopefully many more Beacon runs are in store but variety is the spice of life.
- I think that Night 1 was significantly better than the other 2 nights I attended with Saturday coming in 2nd and Wednesday in 3rd (despite the insaaaaaaane PWW). I think this was partly do to the energy spilling out of this legendary run starting, the wonderfully gradual pickup of acoustic to mellow to hard eventually and 20 non-Circuital non-Waterfall songs. I'm not gonna rehash previous discussions about this and I'd rather not be hated but after having seen every Waterfall song performed live multiple times over the 7 shows I went to on this tour it was nice to have a little break.
-Every member of the band seemed extremely comfortable in the setting of the Beacon Theatre and almost needless to say at this point its obvious that they love playing NYC. This could be because of the higher concentration of knowledgeable fans or just because its NYC but whereas Philadelphia felt almost perfunctory the week before and a very STANDARD show every one of these shows were very special.
-I know their are EE haters out there but the live shows alone WILL eventually transform everyone's opinion on that great album. Whether it was a) the desire on the part of many to get a Librarian, b) my profound disappointment in not having a Sec Walking and Thank You Too and Two Halves (not upset they were not gonna play every song and the 89 songs were an incredible selection) or c) the INSANITY that was Aluminum Park live or d) the popularity of the two Touch Mes this album this album has become LEGENDARY. In pretty typical fashion for a single I'm Amazed has now become my least favorite song on the album (but still great live). In sum, if there's ever 7 nights at some venue again playing all studio albums (or 8 or 9 or 10 nights) I might feel most desirous of going to the Evil Urges night.
If anyone has a 'death is the easy way' vid, I would love to see it
To me, a definitive ranking of shows is impossible. Even with the most bitchin' setlist on paper, everyone's experience will vary greatly. I've found that it really doesn't matter what they play as much as where you are and who you're surrounded by.
Having said that -- these were the moments that blew me away:
[Full disclosure, I was only at night one and two and listened to three and four thanks to the very gracious soul who streamed]
I Love You All The Time -- is there a classier bunch of dudes than MMJ? Not only paying tribute with a moving moment of silence (which THANK GOD succeeded), but then OWNING the song!
Phone -- GOOD GOD! Best version I've seen, hands down. Never seen 'em add so many rockin' crescendos to the end of this song. Holy shit. Carl was going fuckin' nuts, pounding it like he was playing the world's most rockin' version of whack-a-mole. I've never seen him be so musically violent with his axe.
State of the Art!!! Works sooooo well as a Jacket tune, hope this one sticks around. THE POWER'S GOIN OUT!
Picture of You -- the jam ending NEEDS to stick around and be played WAY more often, it turns a soft number into one of the most powerful jams in the MMJ canon.
The triple-headed power punch ending of night two -- who could not leave the Beacon absolutely BUZZING after the BEASTLY PUNCH of AEIOU-Anytime-Mahgeetah?!
IWBTWYD -- complete silence during a JJ acoustic tune = complete bliss. You could hear the texture of his guitar strings it was so quiet in there. Transcendent.
All the Basement Tapes tracks. Down on The Bottom is a personal favorite but Nothing To It and Quick Like A Flash EXPLODE live!
CARRIED AWAY!! Anytime Carl gets extra space to rock, WATCH OUT! I swear Carl kept looking at Tom and Jim as if to say "I'm done soloing now" and Jim and Tom DEFIANTLY shook him off and sent him to new heights! Also, is there a better backup singer in the world than JJ?!
Just Because I Do!! Jim strummin' the chords leading up to the blast-off intro was the ultimate "buckle-up" moment.
TOUCH ME PT1 from night two -- Carl screaming I NEED A HUMAN RIGHT BY MY SIDE in my face while Jim prowled the stage like some sort of possessed cosmic wizard was INTENSE
TOUCH ME PT2->COBRA->RUN THRU from the final night. Only heard the audio from the latter but HOOOO MAMA I could feel the rock from 500 miles away. What a segue.
There were very few talkers night 4. The only jackasses were literally right behind me. 5 people jammed into 2 seats just non stop talking and partying and the annoying 45 year old drunk womqn with them. Go to a fucking bar and listen to some George thoroughgood on the jukebox and talk for 3 hours straight. I looked around the entire orchestra and aside from a few random people whispering a few words one to one, I had the misfortune of being near the worst jackasses in the place. Everyone else in the venue seemed to be quiet and focused. I tried to not let it affect me, really tried for the first half of the show to tune them out but they ruined any slower song. Then I had to grapple with do I ask them to please be quiet and risk it's worse? Finally I couldn't take it and asked them to be please speak quietly during the slow songs. The guy was understanding but his lady yells "what did he say? Really?!" It worked for about one song, they actually tried, but then it just went back to annoying. Oh well, still really loved being there but it really sucks how clueless people can really negatively affect a show.

Happy holidays everyone. Thanks for sharing the love.
back atcha, jeff!
Here's to the guys getting a long, overdue vacation.
Hope they get energized and healthy and once ready get back into the studio to revisit and rework the "lost waterfall" tracks. I foresee this album not seeing the light of day until 2017, but we should see a Jim solo record, my guess sometime mid summer? And maybe a couple random appearances by the band, and possibly Jim touring behind his solo album next fall/winter.
But I do want to thank them for a great tour (as always!), and for bringing it every fucking night, and finishing off the year with a bang! Beacon run was amazingggggggg!!!! So glad I was able to pull off night 1 and 4. After seeing many different of the iconic shows (bonnaroo 2006, 2008, and all 3 Port Chester nights), these 2 will be put right up there! Even if By My Car was left on the cutting room floor;)
Over all great energy by us the fans and the band!! Great week... Great year!!!
Here's to the future :beer:
I figured that I would at least get my post count up to one on here. :tongue: Such an amazing run although I still can't decide if night 1 or 4 was my favorite! Also, so wonderful to meet so many more of this community over the week. Cheers and hopefully I'll see you guys again soon!

Hey Bonzai, it was awesome to see your smiling face every night at the beacon. I agree with the indecision. After night 1, I thought that was one of the greatest Jacket shows I had seen. LOVED the energy of night 4 and the rocking set list but geez, the first hour of night 1 - WOW!
I too go back and forth.

Thanks for these detailed highlight recommendations, gives me stuff to listen for in the recordings and vids. I appreciate it!
i cant pick a favorite.. but im obviously way in the minority leaning on night 3. everything kinda lined up for me, could be a function of who i went with and where we sat and the people arround us.. but if i pick one as a favorite, whatever finsihed 4th is by the slimmest of margins..

I can't pick a favorite either, and like you it's too close to call. It's like asking which one of my children I love more. I have loved one for a longer time though, so night 1 gets that same place in my heart. Night 4 is like my last born child, and who doesn't have just a special kind of love for their baby! :wink:
I was able to attend Night 1 and Night 4. The energy of Night 4 was fantastic but man, Night 1's setlist was just incredible in my opinion. "I Will Be There When You Die" is one of my favorite songs but at this point I wasn't sure I'd get the chance to hear it live. Then throw in "Bermuda Highway", "Nashville to Kentucky", and "The Bear" all basically at the start of that show, just amazing. "Dondante" was also phenomenal.
As for Night 4, favorites were "Death Is the Easy Way", "Smokin' From Shootin' (love this tune), "The Way That He Sings", "Steam Engine" (my favorite MMJ song) and basically the entire encore which was just off the charts. "Run Thru" was probably the best version I've ever heard.
The moment of silence (which was probably like 10 seconds) for the victims of the Paris attacks was a really classy moment and I'm glad nobody yelled out, you could hear a pin drop which was just a very cool moment. Thought they nailed the cover as well.
I don't know how many bands could pull off a run like this, four nights with zero repeat songs. Incredible. Such a great band, feel fortunate I could attend a couple of these shows.
I want to thumbs up all these posts. What a run. Some more thoughts...
Re-watching the Phone videos, I am blown away by the textured soundscape they created. After Jim kinda flubs the "There'll be a knock on your back door" part and they start building up instrumentally, is that Carl doing some CRAZY loop shit, or Bo? Looks like Carl might be playing with a legit two-to-three second delay, or maybe it's just a synth. Either way, it's psychedelic as shit.
I also wonder if we might get a soundboard recording of their EODM cover pretty soon. As in the next couple of weeks. Josh Homme says that royalties from the sale of all covers will go to victims. Makes me think we might see this pop up on iTunes before the end of the year.
Either way, I am getting giddy at the thought of the officially released audio. Syncing it up with the plethora of quality YouTube videos will satiate my appetite for a video release!
Dexter , were your seats in the balcony?

No orchestra, right in the middle. At one point I did a 360 and could see a lot of the orchestra and saw no one going on like the people right behind me
Really not trying to be down on the evening, it was amazing.
Only went to the last night of the Beacon run and while it was only my 9th time seeing them it was easily one of the best shows I've seen. They are so on top of their game right now makes me wish they were doing a New Year's run.
Just curious. We had 5 guys in the balcony doing the same thing. Interestingly there was a 45 year old woman who told them to be quiet 2 or 3 times. So did I. Finally I put my hand on one of their shoulders and said if you guys wanna have a fuckling coffee clutch there's a ladies room down stairs. They quieted down.

Ha! maybe my favorite quote ever on this forum. In ATL there was so much talking going on during what was probably the best, most monster of a Dondante this year (in my opinion). Gets on my last nerve
i understand talking to your friends during a show, everyone does that. its just the continuous nonstop chatters that came for a social outing instead of the music that make it terrible
You hate to cop an attitude at an MMJ show.It's so why you're not there. But why are these people there.

You ever hear Jim James voice? You ever hear Jim James voice...... On Whipp-its?
It was INSANE seeing / hearing the tanks literally right outside the front doors of the Beacon. It's mafia type chit in the northeast.
Ive seen similar nitrous situation right outside the Hammerstein Ballroom, out in the open on the street. NYC Cops don't give a shit. Probably receive a little kick back.

It was same outside of Orpheum in Boston.
Walking past the Beacon in the early hours of the morn and seeing dozens of shredded balloon remnants, I had no idea what kinda celebration they were associated with. Didn't even THINK there were balloons like that anywhere outside of Roo.

I just want clean video or audio of Touch Me Pt 2>Cobra>Run Thru
There's a 2 minute video on the FB fan page of the jam at end of Touch Me. I've watched it at least 10x. Bo was on FI-YAH!
@parkervb ~ It was one of the best encores I've seen them play. Seemed to go on forever, Jim was cruising the rail giving index finger touches with a super chill vibe. Then they melted everyone's face for about 45 minutes. Proper close to an unbelievable tour and 4 night run.
COBRA!

Good Lord that Phone is just ridiculous! I thought RR 2012 was at the top of the heap but I think it has now been surpassed. Carl was all fired up!
Despite seeing MMJ a lot this year, it was still a bit painful to miss the Beacon shows. It has been fun to read all the comments. I will soon make time to watch some You Tube clips with PWW being the first on my list. Everyone has been raving about that version. Thanks for posting links mfc17.

Well Adam it's my belief this was just the first Beacon run. :thumbsup:
I'm seeing this as just the start of something Allman like we'll be looking back on down the road,and discussing which run was the most epic! :beer:
I said this last week but in the fall of 89 the Allmans started their incredible 20 year Beacon run with four nights! Gotta love that symmetry. :grin: It was also the smallest run they ever did there with most runs going 8-10 shows. Topping off with the epic 19 shows in March of 99!
Now that the Allmans have wrapped up, March at the Beacon has a void that is gonna need filling. :thumbsup: With the success of this run, I'm hoping and praying the powers that be will jump at the chance to get our guys there every year. :cool:
That would be amazing, but my only hope is that it not be wrapped around T'giving. I realize it's a fun time of the year to be in NYC, but living on the far other end of the country, it's rough getting to NYC that week when you have kids. First world problems I guess.

No question Walter. If it wasn't NYC or somewhere close to that, I most likely wouldn't have been able to make it. That said, being able to tie it into Thanksgiving for those of us lucky enough to be close, it was truly an amazing,unforgettable week. I was definitely one of the lucky ones who was able to come home for Thanksgiving, and get back to NYC to do it again. Very thankful for being able to do that, and extremely fortunate as well.
My hope is that they slide into March so everyone who wants to can make it. Plus that might enable them to expand the run as well. :thumbsup: :beer:

Was it mine? LOL
I was honestly afraid to record entire songs. 1) I had to hold my camera over my head a little which meant blocking someone else's view - I hate to do that. 2) I had no idea if security would be pricks about it.
Most memorable moments for me....
First time seeing Librarian live - and I waited all this year for that moment.
Cobra-->Run Thru OMG
Covering Eagles of Death Metal
Meeting Jim
And never in my life have I seen guys so ballsy as to stand in the street with nitrous tanks like that. OMG - all those balloons!! Then, when no one else was buying, I heard one guy tell the others to wrap it up; they were moving to another location (a bar I think?). Incredible.
Niiiiiiice, some more videos are poppin' up! Hoping some more continue to trickle out!
Here's Hell:
And Sooner:

These are all wonderful. I feel like I'm there. Very well done by you and the band!
If you haven't seen/heard this PWW, do yourself a favor and check it. One of the greatest if not the greatest version of PWW (or dare I say one of the greatest versions of any song). You can hear the crowd at the appropriate times getting more and more into it as the song goes on.

1 week or so later, of the 723 current views I'm probably 50 of them
As someone who has also re-watched/listened to this PWW in an effort to recreate my experience from 15 feet away I just wanna give props to mfc172 whoever he may be for incredible videography skills.
is there legit momentum that a beacon run may become an annual event? please let that be the case..
I actually emailed mfc172 and asked what he used to capture the video and audio and was slightly taken back by his answer, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70, which is a point and shoot camera.

That camera captured the sound really well. The video was excellent for amatuer video too. Lots of clarity.
MMJ End-of-tour runs/shows in NYC
2015: Beacon
2012: Port Chester (one night in Boston for NYE followed)
2011: MSG
2010: Terminal 5
2008: MSG
2007: Beacon
in 2009, there were only 13 shows. In 2013 it wasn't "their" tour. In 2014 they only played OBH.
So in the last 8 years, when they have actually toured and it was their own tour, they have mainly capped things off in NYC. However the venue has been constantly changing. Seems unlikely that they would go back to the Beacon again right away but that would be INFINITELY better than MSG.

i'd be 100% down with them alternating b/t the Cap and the Beacon. Best MMJ shows I've ever seen at those two venues. And I completely agree on MSG. The Theater at MSG is another story though. Saw Radiohead there in 2006 and it was really cool.
More immportant question is where exactly were they shot from?it seems like lodge for heaven sakes.Thats a monster camera esp w low light.
yes. it was loge row a. he shot a few videos not posted here (i'll find them) from orchestra 1 row b or c from night 4.

Side note, did you see Jim at those shows in 06 at the theater. Forget if it was night1 or 2 but he was sitting right near us

I did not! bummer. I did sit near a screaming woman from Colombia who kept yelling for Idioteque. That was nice.
mfc172 here. thanks for the nice words regarding the videos....to answer some of these questions, night two i was sitting in row A of the loge which worked out great because i had the low wall and railing right in front of me which allowed for unobstructed views and i was able to brace myself which definitely helped with the image stabilization. The camera itself does most of the work but it is somewhat on the larger side but the results make it all worth it.
i went to night 3 as well, but sat way too close and center to take video. wouldve felt really uncomfortable doing so.
did not go to night 4, so you must be thinking of someone else's footage from that night....
i may have 1 or 2 more videos from that night, but i posted what i thought was the best....
ive been to a handful of shows in the past and have taken video at all as well. if you search on youtube for "mfc172" or "MFSYNC172" you should be able to find those videos as well (note that the MFSYNC172 channel only contains videos that have been synced with either soundboard or superior audio). All the raw video files can be found on mfc172 YT page....

Thanks again. We need to collectively as a board get you row a loge for every beacon show ever
This was the video from row BB on Carl's side. Good enough to have been mistaken for your work.

I watched a few more clips last night. All good stuff! I checked your YT channel and realized I probably watched some of your PJ20 clips years ago. Also good stuff! I hope we're at more of the same shows in the future so I can go back in time (I wasn't at Beacon but we overlapped on some PJ).
dont mean to derail everything, but to make it easier, here's a few links worth checking out....

that's right. damn, I thought there might have been some secret sbds out there
There is a live compilation floating around called My Moni. That has all of the released live cuts from T5 plus some other gems.

When I get home tonight my viewing is set!
Almost thanksgiving time in nyc. I walked by the beacon yesterday and just salivated at the idea of 4 shows there again sandwiching turkey day. I friggin loved that run.
I was fortunate enough to meet and talk with Carl for a few minutes after his Boston show about a month ago. I asked him what was going on with the Beacon recordings and he was surprised they weren't up on nugs/livedownloads. Needless to say, it seems there isn't some grand box set on the horizon, or if there is, Carl is totally out of the loop on it.
