For some reason I can't figure out how to add a video to this thread...and I've done it before (any help on this one) Anyways I'll just post the link to the video for " I Will Sing You Songs"

Hmmmm it looks like you used the "ftp" option, maybe?  You should be able now to just copy the address out of the search bar and paste it into your message without using any codes nowadays... let's see.....

Another amazing show by MMJ.  It was tough to follow being 1st row for them at Bonnaroo and first Row at Red Rocks but I love the pit at Merriweather.  I just wish there was a way to allow only true fans into the pit.  I did not enjoy the beer splashing and I'm assuming that couple you guys were talking about was the one that was making out on my damn shoulder and kept pushing their way up.  I don't know what they were on but it was not cool.  The fight at the end was horrible also. I thought I was holding my girl to protect her and looked down to see a completely different girl.  She thanked me and luckily I found my girl safe a few feet away.  Not sure how stuff like that happens at a MMJ show.

And was she all like, "Hold me close now Tony Danza?"  ;D

Oh my god Ky I think I just peed a little!!!   ;D ;D  Hahahahahh  it was SO FUN to see ya again right from the first hug!! And I'd love to see those couple crazy pics of us ya got with that crazy camera phone!!!  That thing cracked me up hardcore, I'm so gullible!!   :P

[ms. yvon]

just got back to l.a. 

FANTASTIC to see you ALL again!  THANK YOU for the impromptu birthday song!  can't tell you what a sweet gesture that was.  i was all ready to blow kisses and lavish thanks on you all but got cut off by a woman in the crowd.  really, that was lovely.  :-*
as the show progressed i wasn't standing next to anyone here, but got to share the astounding moments b/c we'd lean across the crowd. 

my favorite song surprise of this set was phone.  it struck some kind of chord with me that night.  couldn't sing it loud enough.  ;D

to those who i may have bumped into, pushed up on, or otherwise generally invaded personal space...many apologies :)  in particular to ms y and her richmond buddy, who i KNOW i thrashed into on a number of occasions.

;D don't give it another thought, trish!  most of us have gotten carried away at a show.  besides, your shouts made that show the closest thing to a beatles concert i've ever seen.  ;)

I vaguely remember during the show that I was super excited about the Mahgeetah that I had just heard.  After listening to the recording 2x this weekend, I now know why I was so excited. ;D :o

I am going to try sooooo hard to not let this happen.  I am going to fail, but damnit I am going to try.

Although I don't chime in often, it's always a great time with the crew!  Here are some photos...

Allow me.



Is that Anthony's chin I see?

[TheLurker]

Thanks Yac... and yup that is one Anthony Deathstick next to me. 

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

Thanks Yac... and yup that is one Anthony Deathstick next to me.

No pics of the empty bathrooms?  ;D

I'm so glad you asked!  I got empty bathrooms, empty lawn, empty seats, and plenty more that no one would be interested in... I've never seen Merriweather with such few people in it... eerie and awesome at the same time.  This past June I waited in the bathroom line a half hour at Phish.  This was a nice contrast.

Yeah. That picture is seriously sweet. Thanks for sharing Lurker and nice to meet you at MPP.

There are some forum folk!  Everyone else was in the lot...

Thanks for the kind words!  Great to meet you too Ky and others as well... I can see why everyone is so tight, it's a solid group of genuinely kind souls

Sweet, sweet pics Lurker. I said to Dan during the show that I wish I'd brought my camera because from our spot you could get the entire band into the frame. Glad to see somebody took advantage of it.

[Ghosts_on_TV]

Sweet pics lurker! I don't think we met but judging from your shots of Carl I was probably right by you.

[lil sis]

AWESOME pics, as usual, LURKER!  So good to see you and the Mrs. at Red Rocks and again the following week here.  Always nice bumping into the two of you!

I'm a bit late to this, but what can I really say?  It's always a fantastic time and it's the people that make it what it is.  Loved seeing my regular peeps, and it was def a treat to see Ruckus, Capt. Scotty and those that I had not seen for a while as well as meeting some new people from here as well.  I was coming down from my Red Rocks high and I couldn't ask for anything more than to spend some quality time with you fine folks and rock the fuck out again.  I won't get into anymore details about the douchebaggery that surrounded us, but I will say I've never experienced so many assholes at a Jacket show before.  On the other hand, this was my first time on Carl's side and I loved getting a different vantage point.  Might have to do that again.  Maybe.  :)
