at least we got good reps to report back later.

rumor has it bluesky charmed her way inside .....

Oh HELL YES!  This makes me so happy.  YAY BLUESKY!   

She DID get inside..it was something to see..Lots to tell.
Jim had lots to say, at first I think he was wishing he could just play music, but the more he talked, seemed like the more comfortable he got. Lots of funny moments, I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but I will say that he got emotional when he was talking about Dondante, it was really heartwarming. I had heard that story before, but to hear him tell it like that was really something to behold. I guess VH1 asks all the artists to do one cover song at least, so they did Lullabies, Legends and Lies.

Somehow Brooke and I (and Steam Engine) thought we were walking to the back of the line and ended up cutting the line and got in first..no idea, but no one questioned anything. Then I was so excited that I accidentally headbutted Brooke, we thought maybe she had a slight concussion but she turned out to be fine.

The whole sitting standing thing was weird at first. We would sit when Jim would tell a story, then stand when the song came on (except for Wonderful). They played a new song called "Moving" and ended up having to play it twice because the audio was bad or something, another time Jim asked if he could start over with Wonderful.

I don't want to say too much. Just wanted to report back. I'll try to remember all the stories. Thanks again, Brooke. It was something I'll never forget. Oh yes, I got a setlist, BUT the setlist I was eyeing all night was a setlist for Jim that had this notes for his stories on there. Another girl saw me looking at it and said "Don't even think about it, it's mine." So right when the show ended, she beat me to it (she was closer in proximity on the other side of the studio) and they ended up telling her she couldn't have it. now THAT would have been a collectible..

How was the new song?!!?

[br00ke]

AHHHHHHH-MAZING !!!!! i still can't believe that 1.) we got to go and 2.) we sat in the freaking front .. just a few feet from jim  :o this was our view...



christine did a great little recap and i'm exhausted and starving so .. full post tomorrow 

[bluesky]

Unbelievable that I got in, really did not think it was going to happen!!! :D

Moving Away, as I think Jim said was about moving for love and leaving ones you love and and ones you don't love. It was really amazing to hear them in such a small studio. You really could pick up all the details in the sounds. When they had to rerecord it  Jim said that trying to recreate that same feeling again was like telling a really funny joke and having everyone tell you to tell the exact same joke again. It's a country waltz.

[bluesky]

Hope Brooke's feeling alright now ???

[EasyRyder]

It's a country waltz.

Oh yes...I like the sound of that (or how the sound of that would sound  ???)! I look forward to hearing the other stories y'all have to tell about the stories.

So glad y'all shared that experience  :) Thanks for reporting back so soon!

2 things: what's the Dondante story? And this is off subject but at the appilachian vox show in Lexington I snagged a set list with Jims notes on how to play the App Vox songs.

I can't wait for this thing to air! I'm sitting here at work in Bama thinking about how cool it would have been to be at tonight's taping. Im so glad Jason and Penny got to attend. Congrats to you too bluesky! I know if I had tried to go without a ticket I would have been form tackled and sent back to alabama. It's gonna be great to hear some detailed reviews of this thing. I love the fact that the new song has a country flare to it. I was really hoping they would go this way with some of the songs on the new album after the statements were made about the album sounding "kind of dirty"  and all of that other stuff. I'm sure they are still gonna rock our faces off with some new epic masterpiece of a song...Oh and guess what else just hit me? It's under 3 months until THE HANGOUT!! This year is about to get gooddddddddddddddd!!!

[TEO]

PENNYRAIN getting competition for most coveted setlist is SO lol..... ;D

[headhunter]

just reading all the comments makes me happy. must have been a truly special night.

[ynwa]

woah - sounds pretty dreamy for sure!  i'm torn between wanting to know every detail RIGHT NOW and biding my time til the air date so as not to spoil the surprises.  will tiny morsels tide me over til then???  :D

just looking @ the setlist as it was coming thru on jason's fb & then to see the complete list from penny's pic sent my head spinning.  i'm drooling over what these stories were...are...errrrr...will be.  i got emotional thinking about dondante...

thanks for all the updates gang!  so happy that you got to be part of such a special event.  this most certainly is one to tell the grandkids.  hope to hear some inside scoop stuffs soooooon.  see ya when you come back down from the clouds  :)

[kydiddle]

I would have given my right arm to see that little exchange between Penny and her setlist-grabbing nemesis.  ;D Soooooo happy for you ladies!

[johnnYYac]

So, Jim is looking out at this audience, with two young ladies in front, eyes glazed, drool from mouth's corner, and the slightest hint of bruised forehead.  :D

I hope you two are okay following the noggin knockin'.   ;)

Sure it was an epic moment.  Val, nice score slipping in.   

I'd love to see pics, setlist, etc. since I'm out of the Facebook and texting loop.

I'm torn as to how much detail we should hear before the show airs.  Maybe you can write down memorable moments to share once the thing is broadcast to cover stuff that didn't make the final cut.

Wow! Talk about once in a life time. Very cool.

[touchingmept2]

[TSarge]

After the initial setlist grabfest died down I saw something white near the drum set...
