What Show Did You Just See?

[FiddleCastro]

Interpol and Blonde Redhead tonight, great show, not as good of a set as the last time I saw Interpol, but still an excellent show.

Wilco last night at this place:



Outstanding!  :D

The Sword last night at a very small venue in Manchester.  I have very little hearing left this morning.  Setlist;


Acheron/Unearthing the Orb
Tres Brujas
Arrows In The Dark
How Heavy This Axe
Barael's Blade
The Chronomancer I: Hubris
Frost Giant
The Horned Goddess
The Warp Riders
Freya
Massacre (Thin Lizzy cover)
Night City
(The Night The Sky Cried) Tears Of Fire
Winter's Wolves

Encore:
Iron Swan

Excellent set in an increasingly hot and sweaty venue.  The Lizzy cover was excellent, and the encore melted faces.

No Maiden Mother and Crone? That's my favourite.

Roger Waters doing The Wall at the O2 in London on Saturday night - my second time seeing this show.  We had great seats, and the sound and visuals were once again spot on.

I missed this tour and really should have gone, considering Pink Floyd were the equivalent of MMJ to me back in the 80s, before the Grateful Dead entered my life. 

I stumbled upon a decent fanshot video of this show, from late 2010 in Chicago, available as download to burn (2 DVDs) or to watch online.  I'll post it later, when I can find the links.

The Junip show tonight was AWESOME!!  I was secretly (or maybe not so secretly...) pulling for "At the Doors," and they playedddd it!

Also wanted to hear their song "Howl," because the lyrics are just pretty bad-ass.  They played it the third song in!  And by some miracle I landed standing next to one of the only other girls dancing  8)

It felt somewhat whimsical, I've been wanting to see Jose for a long while now, and Junip brings out a bit more of his psychedelic sounding side... And my energy today has been a little over the map... it was pretty chilly down here today (I enjoyed that it wasn't super hot at work)  But the air smelled so clear and crisp that something about it pulled me way back to Woodstock last October... it just smelled like Fall and felt like it too... and to bring it full circle, that was when I was really starting to get into Junip in the first place! (Also some of my best memories of MMJ & forum friends, to boot!  8))

But they definitely were on point and grooving out in a real way.... glad to finally see them!  8)

That's beautiful.....

I'll never get over this.....

Glad to hear it was a good show! I only have Fields so I don't know the song At The Doors, and forgot they had a song called Howl. I had a wisdom tooth pulled today and have been completely out of whack all day.  ??? :-\

Oh no!  Sorry to hear about the tooth!  "You can't handle the Tooth!"  :-X  Meh, wisdom teeth are not a pleasant memory.... hope ya feel better soon!

Yeah I was losin' it at the show, sorry for the slight barrage of msgs!!  We were so close, the crowd wasn't large at all, and they sounded awe-some.  :)  Hey sweatboard I love  Heartbeats!  We weren't sure if he'd do any solo Jose tunes (which he didn't) but they rocked the place, and they encored with "Tide" and lastly "Always."

Tide lyrics are beautiful too..... his lyrics and his vocal stylings are transcendental...

Junip - Tide

All of the memories will return
In the sleep like shallow scars
Whatever remains will set you freeee
A crater left as a divide

There will soon be time to meet them all again
For once at eye level and for once as friends

There will be time
Time to return.....



And Howllll:

Junip - Howl

Now we could still talk about moral responsibility
We could still talk about our common human goals
What leads to happiness what leads to suffering
What leads to exuberance and flourishing of the soul

But it would help
To figure out
What's making us howl....

Tried to get out at the last minute and couldn't make it happen.   :(  Glad you had a good time!

"That pretty much sums up the night - a raucous, whiskey-fueled steam explosion among old friends." 

sounds like my kind of party

They were so on point last night. I'm a friend with the reviewer so I got to hang with her all night at the bar. It was great. For most of the openers set, there were maybe 20 people there tops. If filled in a little more but there wasn't a crush like at Angels or at Pokey.

Saw Avett Brothers with Nicole Atkins opening last night. Even though the show sold out, I still feel like they're underrated. Avett brothers deserve the kind of success Mumford & Sons have had. Avett Brothers>Mumford & Sons IMO. Avett Brothers have been around for awhile and Mumford & Sons blow up with their debut album, just doesn't sit well with me. Anyway, the show was amazing. Great energy and amazing musicianship, what's not to like? Also, I wore my roll call shirt and a couple MMJ fans stopped to shake my hand! It's amazing to see us MMJ fans stick together like that! It really is a community.
