VH1 Storytellers!!!

[Jon T.]

i cannot wait for you guys to watch the part about dondante  :D :D

I am most looking forward to this!

[grizzy]

FYI to those DVRing this event, you might want to record the show immediately following Storytellers as well.  I had set my DVR to record the entire series and the KOL show went over and cut off part of their last song.  I could care less about missing the end of the KOL set, but I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone for MMJ in case it were to happen again. 

BTW, I have watched both KOL and Death Cab episodes and  I have a feeling MMJ is going to blow them the fuck away!  I think the boys will be showing those tuning in that are not familiar with their live performances just how freaking good of a band they are!   8)

Thanks for the heads up  !

i'm sure this'll be up somewhere but kicking myself for not having cable right now... well, not actually, i enjoy not spending 60+ dollars for trash tv.

It debuts here tonight on the Westcoast on HDVH1 at 8 PM.

I'm really worried that they are gonna cut some songs out of the show. :(

i hope they don't but i'm sure they are gonna cut something b/c we were there for a long ass time .. i would think it was too much content for the show and has to be edited down.

Plans for this evening equal this....

1)  Drink a large amount of beer 
2)  Watch Eddie Vedder's "Water on the Road" dvd which just out on 5/31.
3)  Drink a large amount of beer 
4)  Watch video from the amazing Louisville Palace Unstaged show by MMJ on YouTube.
5)  Drink a large amount of beer 
6)  Watch VH1 Storytellers on MMJ.
7)  Drink a large amount of beer 
8)  Take a bath because this much self indulgence can't be clean   

I think that's about the best kind of night you can spend if your not going out anywhere and just chillin with the wife.  Be a perfect way to cap off this work week!

Unfortunately, they'll probably cut out quite a bit.  I remember with Pearl Jam, they cut out at least 4 songs from the original show.  Also, they dubbed a lot of the interview footage over the songs when being played, making it very distracting.  I mean, you want to hear what the guys have to say about the songs, but you also want to see them play the songs too.

Hopefully, they get it right tonight.

Perfect plan. Laying by the pool, drinking and listening to Circuital right now as part of the pre-game.

I really hope they don't play interviews over the songs.  That was the main reason I wasn't a big fan of Storytellers.  It's very cool to have them introduce the song and tell you about it, but then lets hear the music.

I really want to hear the Dondante story, so if they do cut it out you better have a good memory so you can tell it about us.

Dondante is for sure on there because Yimbo was talking about it on the VH1 commercial.

I just hope Golden and Wonderful make it on the show. I think they will cut 2 songs, which ones I don't know.

Pretty sure Golden is on there too.  Read somewhere about Jim talking about bars being dark and lonely with his grandmother.  Maybe I am wrong though.

[Clarkwork]

Golden and Wonderful should be on there since those are already viewable on the website.  I've seen those two. 

I'm just hoping it's as good as the concert the other night, being able to watch that live on Tuesday with my wife and a bottle of wine was outstanding, one of the best nights of TV we've had in a long time.

They've released the Golden performance online. However, for KOL I know they released "Knocked Up" online before the show aired on TV and it didn't make the cut. So, it's really impossible to know.

It's 50 minutes and probably 6 songs. You can't compare that to the Tuesday Webcast (3 Hours).

It's nice that we get this VH1 Special and also the live Mountain Jam Webcast Stream on Sunday Night.

That was an epic show Tuesday night.  Was very nice watching on our bigscreen tv hooked through our Iphone. 

Looking forward to the show tonight, and really hope they leave in Dondante.

I'll have Penny, Brooke & Bluesky over to watch Storyteller's tonight and we will be playing a version of the old Newhart drinking game, "Hi Bob" with them.

Anytime one of them is shown on TV, everybody has to have a drink.   

Guessing we may be mighty toasted by the end of the show based on the few previews I've seen!  :o

Ha! That sounds awesome!

Damn, figured it was an hour but was hoping they gave the Jacket an extended 2 hour Storytellers.

I wasnt sure if they were airing MMJ's set from Mtn Jam so thats good to know at least!

[capt. scotty]

I didnt realize this didnt start until 11pm, thought it was 9 for some reason. Shit, I hope my old ass doesnt fall asleep.

FWIW, the TV Guide write-up said songs include Gideon, Dondante, and Wonderful TWIF

Ice treys filled with ice, sriracha shrimp on the grill, cold quinoa salad, vodka and soda with lemon a plenty, medwakh in hand and listening to the madison square garden show right meow.

Suggestions welcome, though!

Pre-party in full effect.
