does it make sense that the NYE shows have surfaced first? DON'T MAKE ME MAKE A "FREE THE CHICAGO SHOWS" t-shirt with balki and cousin larry on the front.

in all seriousness, to those who taped, i would be very appreciative.

I understand your impatience but I think you need to take a few deep breathes.  It makes since that NYE surfaced first.  It was simucast on the radio and it was a "bigger" show than Chicago.  It hasn't even been a month yet, I know you want YOUR show, but there's a lot of great live jacket to tide you over.

But seriously, I really want to hear these shows, I hope they surface soon.

thanks for the lecture.

I'd be grateful for a confirmation of the recording of Sunday......as long as I know it's out there, I can wait as long as needed.

I assume it takes a little time to do these things, and as most people....the taper probably has a day job, and maybe even a family to tend to first.

I don't think I was lecturing.  If I were lecturing I would have said something like this:

You should just be grateful that someone likely taped your show and it will likely show up soon.   Tapers spend thousands of dollars on equipment, tickets, and travel for nothing in return except for the ungrateful ramblings of impatient fans like you. Tapers have lives, too.  The more people respect that, the tapers more there will be.


That's for my boy Kory!

Well put, all this begging for show that aren't even a week in the books is BS. That kind of shit only does two things, pisses tapers off and can potentially make them keep the show just to prove a point. Like Dylan said, they spent the money and pretty much ruined a carefree show experience so other could experience what we all feel is so magical.

That said, Dylan... I'm on a beer break for another week or so (http://www.theh2oproject.org/) but after that, we need to organize a nice two hearted get together with the local crew. You going the the Follow the Train final show this Saturday?

Yeah, I'm going to try to make it.  Did you go to Wax Danny Glover MF cover band for NYE?  I'm sorry I missed it.

you're right, that's not lecturing at all. and good catch on my  ungratefulness, i realize now using words like "appreciate" is kind of an asshole move. how high is that horse you've got yourself there?

I'm on my high horse?  You start a thread called "for the love of god, RELEASE THE CHICAGO SHOWS." and want to lecture me because I have to gull to suggest you be patient with the kind soul who taped your show. Well, excuuuuuuse me.

All that other stuff was just me saying what I would have said had I been lecturing you in the first place, in case you missed that.  :)

I'm chuckling that someone is trying to tell someone named "big hungry joe" to be patient.

I read this thread last night and I too chuckled!!!!

I do agree with Dylan & Kory.......I made a post the other day asking if anyone taped the Chicago shows.  All that is really important is that the music get archived.  If I am fortunate enough to get to hear it, that's just a bonus  ;)

Kory and Dylan,

You guys crack my shit up!  Seriously though  they are right.  

Look at it this way.  Remember when you were a little kid, and you wanted a toy soo bad.  You knew you would get it for Christmas, but it was August.  You wanted that DAMN thing so bad.  It hurt to see other kids play with it.  Then you got it for Christmas!  You were soooo excited you shit your pants!  your parents payed a $100 bucks for it, and you only played with it for two days!

Just remember, the anticipation is the best part

At least the Saturday night show...Where To Begin

hold the phone...Sunday was also very nice. I WANT THEM BOTH! please

air jordan

waiting for tapes sucks!! i'm still waiting for asheville 07. best show i've ever seen my mmj.  where's it at? i saw at least one taper. maybe two. so the chicago shows might go down as an epic shows that will never be circulated, which really, really sucks!!

big hungry joe

careful: wanting these discs means you hate tapers and are disrespectful to dirt.

Ruckus

Did ya guys see some tapers?  I'm guessing you did but I heard the Chicago Theatre has a strict no taping policy.  Maybe I'm wrong and well damn, I would kill to hear that 2nd night.

Is anyone thinking they didn't allow any taping becuase MMJ wants to release another live album...I would shit my pants.
For anyone at the shows: How good did they sound? If it was tight and hot, than maybe they know something we don't.

Not now, but maybe in a couple of months a live album would be just right.  ::)
