Happy Red Rocks everyone!
As usual, I will do my best to post setlist updates here tonight.
Song titles will be in ALLCAPS.
Commentary, if any, will be in regular writing.
If someone on the outside can edit their own post on the thread with the full setlist that would be awesome,
Have fun everyone!

That's all folks! See you tmw!
Jim promised no repeats an entirely new set list on sat!
Just got home and DAMN man. That was killer.
Dondante was STELLAR. so much evil.
Run Thru too. A real slow rendition and just absolutely epic.
Jim was on some weird shit about comparing red rocks to "the birth canal" and also regularly inserted the "where is the justice" into several other songs. thought that part was cool, the birth canal stuff was a tad odd but welcome to Jim.
Loved the couple of new setlist placements-Easy Mornin' in the first 5 and Masterplan in the encore were both great suprises.
It's so good to be back y'all. so. stinkin. good.
Anyone find all the chuckling by Jim tonight during numerous songs, to be a bit odd? Not sure what to make of that?

Mushrooms bruh! My crew thought it was great. He's looking up from the birth canal at Ship Rock to his left, and Creation Rock to his right (mother's legs ;) Stage Rock is the vagine, hence the birth canal. He's a freak!

full Run Thru?

It looked like he was just super happy to be back with the boys again. I loved it.
Any other new twists on tunes other then run thru?
Was hoping to see something new on the setlist, whether that be a new jim/Carl solo tune, fresh cover or most desired new jacket song.

The outro to IWSYS was a lot longer but it was just extended repeats of that riff with everyone, several songs got those end extension jams

Love that
Just watched a few YouTube clips, they definitely carried on where they left off, sound great.
Jim no shades or jacket
Tom no professional attire and growing the hair out again.
The new rough and rugged MMJ
I'm Amazed. Best version ever. Very metal in the second half. Also Dontante went on forever. Had to be over 30.
BTW, actual band setlist had At Dawn as first song of encore. Maybe tonight.

i thought it was really heartwarming. i don't think i've ever seen him so happy to be playing that he literally chuckles while singing. trey anastasio will also do this all the time these days and it's just infectious.

Classic Jim. Last night was the real shit. I would put it up there with Bonnaroo 2008 as one of the best MMJ shows I have had the good fortune of seeing. Can't wait for tonight. They are back!
Also cool-At the end of Golden, Jim asked the crowd to be completely silent ("not a peep"). it worked out suprisingly well and let everything just be silent (besides the occasional yeller) for about 30-45 sec before he said "we love you" and dropped into the most evil Dondante ever. totally awesome moment.
First Light had an extended jam that was very cool.
Last night's energy & look felt like a throwback to 2005/2006 era.
there was 26 minutes from the Dondante post to the next song, so yea, jammy Red Rocks special.
anyone see any tapers/recordists?

What a treat that so was. Band was spot on and having fun. Can't wait for tonight.
First Light Jam!
Master Plan, Run Thru, Easy, man, those were standouts.

Where/ when are they selling merch? Are there shirts?
Last night was just incredible. Jim was inspired, his voice was perfect, the band sounded phenomenal, and those versions of War Begun, I'm Amazed, Believe, and especially Dondante, which was like an epoch of its own— fanstastic.
Amazed was definitely best I've ever heard. Energy there was so incredible. Lots of extended Jams. You could tell they were having a great time. Confident and on point. My first time at red rocks was a fucking spiritual experience!

he has invoked the "birth canal thing" for a few times. probably in 2015 you're probably right.
Anyone not liking Jim's weird exaggeration of certain words and grunts and shit these shows, especially Saturday? Kinda weird.
27 minute Steam Engine jesus...the Get Back / Imagine sync was outrageous but they went a bit too far with Lean On Me as done by Lamb of God
Quote from: Lonndown27 on Aug 04, 2019, 08:04 PMAnyone not liking Jim's weird exaggeration of certain words and grunts and shit these shows, especially Saturday? Kinda weird.
Yes. But I found it to be more so on Friday than Saturday personally.
From being on this forum for over a decade, one thing I know is that folks don't take well to any criticism of the band or Jim. The band was on fire, but Jim was not Jim. I have very mixed feelings about the weekend as a whole, mostly Jim. It just didn't feel 100% right to me.
a friend of mine, he's on here time to time, said he wasn't a fan of Jim's "choppy sing talking". He definitely has a different vocal approach. I haven't listened or seen his recent solo tour work but is that something he was doing then? He was also WAAAAAY more chatty than usual, even for a Red Rocks show.

I don't know about some others, but I thought he was amazing. As far as how he plays a song or when he talks and what he says, I never really care. I go to the shows with no expectations and just enjoy the hell out of it. I just sit back and enjoy it and take in whatever mmj gives me. Also, I thought he was great. His voice was great, the music was great and to hear Dondante AND run thru on Friday, was the pinnacle for me. 2 of my favorites and both at red rocks for my first time. What an amazing experience!!!
The only 2 things I can say now is I wish I somehow could've gotten a poster, any poster. And number 2, I have been looking forward to this trip since the beginning of the year and nothing really afterward. So now, I'm kind at a loss for what to do with my time now. Nothing will really outdo mmj at red rocks. Guess I'll have plenty of time to think of something, at least until next time!

I can appreciate this reaction - Jim was definitely a different Jim than in previous Jacket shows. Having seen him a few times on his recent solo tours, his Red Rocks energy didn't feel off to me, though - just an evolution of his own personal journey. No sunglasses, front of stage and actually looking out at the crowd with eyes wide open, laughing at times while singing. I happen to love it, and he/the band seemed to be having an absolute blast while rocking out.
That said, as a big Panic fan, it would be really weird if JB suddenly started chatting a bunch or sharing stories during a show because that's never been his thing. In this case, though, I thought it made sense/fit in with my recent experiences of Jim.
It was definitely odd, especially Friday. I didn't love it particularly Friday (was kinda disappointed when he started saying silly stuff during Dondante-took me out of the zone for a bit but I settled back in) but it made Saturday pretty interesting with all the Beatles stuff.
I was a lot more concerned about the amount of key changes for this run-The Way That He Sings and Steam Engine both went down a full step, I'm Amazed was down a half step, and I think there were one or two more that I thought in the moment but don't remember now. + several times he noticably decided to forgo higher parts he normally does (the 2nd scream in Gideon was abandoned for instance). obviously voices dwindle over time and everything still sounded AMAZING but it is a little sad to see evidence that Jim's voice is losing some range.

I noticed, during Phone, Jim made the doctor female and and tried to downplay the sexual connotations in the lyrics.
Also, to address walterfredo's question regarding Jim's giggles, think back (not too far) to the prolific presence of laughter on Uniform Distortion.
It was obviously hard not to notice the difference in Jim's personality but i definitely enjoyed it.
I had a friend who got to visit with a man who is started a large festival (would rather not say) but that he said Jim just gets so unbelievably excited about playing at Red Rocks and that he was particularly excited about this big weekend of reuniting with the band and that he knew how much it meant for the band and the fans that he was just gitty with excitement. Couple that with the basic admission by Jim of being on LSD (instead of cocaine smile in Picture of you he said LSD smile) we got quite the unique and extremely memorable show for a LONG time by Jim and the boys. Enjoy it for it's uniqueness I say!

Yup! Very unique energy. I'm glad I got to be there for the reunion. Not sure why people are criticizing Jim for looking happier than normal.

I agree RobRoy286, I personally loved Jim's happiness and his energy. He just seemed to be in a good place which is the goal in life. I had a blast at these shows.

I think this somewhat reinforces my point I was trying to make. Anything even remotely considered by others to be criticism, people get all worked up. I made the top post because I was fairly confident folks would take what I said, and categorize it as criticism.
For the record, I actually never criticized or said anything negative. I was just trying to sort out and make sense of what was an OBVIOUS change in demeanor and approach to so many songs.

I had an amazing time both shows, fucking loved it. So glad they're back, so great to see them on stage rocking again. But...should be ok for someone to verbalize their feelings. Something was clearly different, and I was merely trying to process what was going on.
i think we're all happier to see a happier, more ebullient Jim. I think people are talking about his vocal riffing, some different phrasing, etc. I just liked that he and the guys are trying some new stuff out bc tbh it seemed to get a lil stale (imo) at points in 2017.
good point parkervb. That is the kind of response I was hoping to get, was just curious how others felt, as I was unsure how to process what I was seeing and hearing. Love to get others' perspective.

I gotcha. Maybe my post was obtusely worded, because I'm not "worked up" over anything, and I don't think anyone should be. Your "mixed feelings" implies both positive and negative, so I was just curious as to why the feelings were mixed instead of solidly positive. I didn't mean for this to be directed specifically towards you either. I've read/heard a lot of people say similar things. Jim's vibe was certainly different. I just happened to really like it and I wondered what other people made of it.
I'll admit, too, that some of the shows felt a little weird, for lack of a better word. I really think it's the beginning of the next chapter, and it's a little jarring after 3 years of touring the Waterfall. I'm excited for whatever comes next!
How long has it been since Jim has consistently played without sunglasses?
I honestly thought Saturday's show was one of the best I've ever seen. Sure some things have changed but I would expect nothing less from a band that's been off the road for 17 months. I thought the energy was electric, the band was dialed in, and they have the look and feel of a group that has a lot of life left in them.

I've been a fan for 15 years or so, and probably seen 20-25 shows.
I thought Friday was extremely off, esp the vibe from Jim. There was a lotta out of place laughs (to the point I wondered where his head was at) from him and I thought the energy and tempo was way down.
Now granted, I def was not sober but I had myself convinced that I was witnessing a bit of a band meltdown and it threw me into a funk for the after show and into the next day.
From my perspective, they redeemed themselves on Saturday but Friday was way, way off to me. Of course they hadn't played in ~16 months and I've written it off to rust but shit, Friday was just really fucking weird.
Pretty much how I felt
Didn't see Friday night but I also was feeling something was off as the show got started Saturday.
The Wordless opener was definitely different and I always thought that Jim would need to be warmed up to crush that.I was defiantly not clear headed and I am hard wired to want what I have, so the band could play anything and I would love it ( 35 plus shows so far ).As the show went on I commented to a friend I thought it sounded sloppy to me and i have always been super impressed how tight they sound live. Someone commented on the key changes and that makes a whole lot of sense now. I'm not a musician but I also felt that the pace was different on some of the songs.Like instead of 4/4 it was 3/4? As the show progressed it revealed itself to be absolutely fantastic and I am still thinking about it today.Industrial lean on me stuck in the middle of Get Back in the Middle of Steam Engine was incredible.
Maybe even some Imagine thrown in.I have not listened to the show yet so I am not sure about that.
Couldn't wipe the smile off my face that Jim paid tribute to the Beatles because of their history at Red Rocks.
Sad for a second that Dancefloors was cut but like said still a great great show Saturday.
Super happy to have seen it and looking forward to New York.
Also this was my second trip to Red Rocks and for me being up top of the venue was so much better than being in row 6.
Totally different experience
