Boston BoA * August 14 * Roll Call

[johnnYYac]

Heading out soon.  Mom's here to watch the girls.  I'm doing myself and my wife a favor and leaving my new laptop home, so no forum posts until tomorrow.  Maybe I'll sneak a tweet here and there.  See you at Remy's or at the show. 

We love you, Patrick!  Hope you're well.

Ugh tix are available wish I had the money to go from ny. I could prob get the tix but wouldn't have the money to get there

[Bigsky]

Another rainy night at the pavillion...it should be a nice steamy show...

Get some rest Patrick...we're going to need you tonight!

[themarsvolta]

Eating @ Bertuccis.... No rain yet!! Bring it on!  :-X

[woodnymph]

Wish I could make this lovely show on my b-day!  But the past couple shows have been plenty of gift enough  :-* :-*

I hope you guys get a mind-blowing set and hope Patrick is back in good health again!!!  :-D

[foomex]

1)Didn't make it to Remy's, we changed plans and went to see a Vinyl record exhibition at the ICA and then went straight to BoA.

2) Hope you guys actually got to meet, drink a lot, and enjoyed the meet-up

3) Got me a lion tshirt :D

4) Lay Low was MIA, serious bummer, but I had an UH-mazing time, I grooved ALL over the set, specially in black metal, and OBH obviously.

5) I found Dondante's  intro a bit strange... was it just me?

6) I forgot 6, I'm really tired. Oh yeah, the freebie 420  airs near me helped a bit  :dankk2:

Can't wait for the next MMJ, sadly it'll probably be on the next release... or maybe if they lay some TX dates.

THANK YOU!

Feel emotionally drained but so fulfilled at the same time! Another unforgettable night!

Man, what a great night! Setlist was pretty much everything I could have wanted, a few surprises but ultimately it doesn't really matter what they played because it was amazing nonetheless. The seats I grabbed from the Roll Call were way better than I imagined and the people behind me were really grooving all night. Sweet stuff!

[Bigsky]

The boys were pumped and ready to play last night. Carl was so impressive with his energy, and I can't believe Patrick was even there after a bad lobster roll...loved the clock-arms. They sounded so good and the new songs just filled the venue. I was 5 rows from the stage and it was nice to see them having so much fun. It was also nice to have the sea breeze coming off of the water. Sunday night shows are always a bit tough, but this one was wonderful. Thanks MMJ!

I'm there...with gear!

I think you are the guy that taped the 08 BoA Boston show, and if so, Bravo - I listened to that many many times over the years.

I'm guessing you are the gordo55 from expressobeans, and if so, I sent you a PM there 

The one and the same.  Got your note on Expressobeans, I'll have to dig thru the Hatch file and see what we can work out.  Make me an offer.  I AM looking for last night's Burwell if you have any leads and have some pretty good old school MMJ posters as trade fodder.

Taped last nite at the corner of sbd (stage left).  Much better situation this time around...mics weren't handheld like last time.  Thanks to the folks who let me join 'em in their seats to get this done.  Show will be on Dime and Trader's Den in the next couple of days.  Nak700's -> DR100 / RC, corner of SBD / ~12 ft high.  I basically set it and forgot it so will be listening and mastering tonite.  Finger's crossed.

Amazing night! I got kicked out of Jerry Remy's and lost my iPhone, and I'm still in a good mood! They were ON POINT, loved hearing the new stuff. Highlight for me was probably Dondante, it was played in a way I've never heard before (almost futuristic?). You could smell the salt water in the cool breeze, great venue and great crowd energy.

[e_wind]

kicked out of Remys? Cant really just start a story off like that and not elaborate

[YungYave]

Haha well I'm told I was belting out MMJ songs at the top of my lungs doing my best Jim impression, and when the bouncer tried to intervene I attempted to dance with him? Got escorted out by the manager, probably had a bit too much of that Kentucky whiskey.

Sorry I missed everyone at Remy's. Traffic was brutal. Backed up from Concord to the MA line. Got parked around 6:45 and headed in. Think I passed some of you guys in front of Remy's taking pics(thought I recognized Yac). Bummer.
Thought the show was fairly pedestrian. Super basic setlist. Seemed like they were looking for a comfort zone with Patrick back. It Beats is always really nice. Surprised at a back to back night Dondontes. Really enjoy that they are stretching that tune out more and more these days. Was cool t hear it move and build a bit different that usual. This end of Run Thru shit is annoying. At least transition into it out of something and make it interesting. Just starting the end jam from nowhere is a complete waste. The whole power of that tune and the end jam is lost when they do that imo. By far the highlight for me was the Honest Man. Crazy big version. Carl was absolutely killing it. Best version I've seen. Was really glad to see Jim leave some of the scripted theatrics out of Worldless (no stage slide). Thank you. That was getting really annoying. Just be honest on stage. I, for one, could live without the theatrics. If it's honest and you're just moving and acting the way the music moves you, great. If you doing a schtick, stop. It's cheap and silly. Band sounded great. Could have been louder, but they nailed everything as usual.
As for the venue, never again. $10-12 beers? FUCK YOU! No smoking anywhere in the venue? FUCK YOU! Thought the sound inside was really boomy even though it managed to hold the low end really well. And good lord, how bout a little space in the seating. You can barely move if your row is full. Finally moved to some open space so I could dance. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a flailer, but I would like to be able to move more than my head.
I love this band and to me it has the potential to become one of the most powerful live acts ever, but they have got to start changing up the set lists. They are so stagnant. Why would anyone see them on consecutive nights? So many repeats. MMJ has more than enough material and have been playing live together long enough to start performing without the net of a set list. It really makes the shows feel generic and predictable. Would love to be surprised more than once every few shows. Getting bored.

[Sweet Nothing]

If anyone has an extra Burwell from the Boston show they would like to part with please let me know?  Have a Fung from the MPP show if that is of any interest to anyone with a Burwell, but either way will buy it from you if you are looking to move it?  Thanks

Why? Are we just supposed to blow smoke up their ass all the time? Not ok to say something negative about the band or the environment?
