The Music / Re: LIVE VOL. 4

Last post by Nikkogino - Nov 30, 2023, 06:43 AM

I agree, one of the TTF shows.  Or I've always wanted Live from the Palms on vinyl. Such a wonderful performance.

I don't want anything until we get one of the TTF shows.  It is, in my opinion, the holy grail (unless the band re-records the album in the live style).

August is the time they usually do Red Rocks so yes I like your detective work. I sure hope you get to go, it's a bucket list place to see them.

The Shows / Re: Roll Call - Jim - Louisvil...

Last post by ranyart - Nov 28, 2023, 06:15 PM

We've seen Jim outside of MMJ several times, including a prior show at The Brown Theater that we had Roll Call entry for, but this is the first time it was just Jim so I was, ah, prepared for some howling.  And of course howl he did!  I am also a bit cringey on it, especially on the studio tracks, but hearing him get down like he did in that place with people being so quiet did the trick for me and sent chills through my brain and down my spine.  JJ even mentioned feeling like he was in a trance and I was right there with him.

But I totally understand where y'all are coming from.  5mg edibles probably helped.

Really cool evening. Lots of great, unexpected songs. But...

At the risk of blasphemy, the drawn out howling gets old after a while. Yes, it's Jim James and it's what he does. But I assume I'm not the only one who reaches a saturation point when he does it every other song.

I feel you, slappy. I'm on the fence with extended howling. Sometimes, it hits its mark as intended. Other times, it detracts from what preceded it. Still, its all how Jim expresses himself in the moment.

If you know where to look, then you know where to find him, dig?

Last night was supposed to be a long delayed Celebrating David Bowie show in Cincinnati, but it got cancelled after this show was announced.  Turns out that our friend ended up with a couple of last minute extras so we were able to go, and all I can say is I'm super glad we did because this was an amazing night.

First up was Kiana Del, who played with her usual guitar player, and she was awesome and I would definitely go see their band.  After that came the kids who shared some of their work which totally blew our minds.  If this is the sort of thing that comes out of the work of Young Authors Greenhouse then show me where to send my money (link below  ).

Then came JJ.  I can count on one hand the number of acoustic shows where people mostly kept quiet, and tonight was one and it was thrilling.  Setlist.fm is showing 29 songs and it's quite a list.

We're still processing everything but this was an amazing evening.  I'm so happy everything worked out and we were able to see it!!!

The Shows / Re: Z in Reverse

Last post by DaydreamNation - Nov 23, 2023, 04:42 AM

I loved that it sounds great in reverse, maybe a bit obtuse but I loved it. Dondante opener.....so strange

I hear ya on the Dondante opener. Strange but great.

I thought the previous weekend in Atlanta we got a crazy opening rarity with Honest Man but never thought Dondante would open a show. So cool and wish I was there for it but happy for all who were.

It was shocking haha. Really no way to improve a show that starts with Dontante and ends with Phone. Z in reverse was cool but those two songs bookending the night were what stuck with me the most
