Charlotte *8-21-11* Roll Call

[Robbman]

If it rains, it will make it that much better. I saw a show in the rain there a couple of years ago, and it was no big deal. Just come dressed for it and you'll be fine.

So excited they're back in Charlotte, I was up at 6 AM thinking about it. This is going to be stellar.

[Robbman]

Also, no real expectations, there's a lot of songs I'd like to hear.. but Evil Urges or Highly Suspicious would make my night. I'd say Touch Me part 2, but that appears to be a staple on recent setlists. That's probably my favorite live MMJ song. I'm sure I won't be disappointed either way.

went to get a couple of extra tickets this afternoon.  Saw Jim walking down the sidewalk, we waved, he waved.  It was awesome.  Carry on.

Hey I can't find my email receipt from Roll Call for the tickets for tonight.  We just pick up at the ticket window, right?  If someone could share the instructions, that'd be awesome.  Thanks!

We just got in to town and was wondering if there is a good place close to the venue to get some food and drinks?

The Venue is in a complex called the Uptown Music Factory. There are several bars and restaurants to choose from right there in the complex. There are a ton of great places nearby in the downtown area (officially called 'Uptown') but you have to find parking. I'd suggest trying your luck at the venue. That's what we're going to try to do.

Tear it the fuck up, Deja! Let the boys know you're there!

It does suck that that the delay had to happen. I don't think it was rain per se, as I've seen shows in the rain there before. There was a lot of thunder and lightning. The setlist was shorter than most, but the boys made up for it in their performance. The only disappointment was seeing one of my favs cut, Mahgeetah, but that doesn't take away the great time we had. The setlist on Tweetpicles had a setlist that was constructed after they made the delay decision, so who knows what we would have gotten. I really felt they chose to focus on concert staples instead of Circuital songs, so that made me happy.  There was no encore break.. they did all they could, and definitely brought the house down. Not disappointed.

awesome! given the crap elements you had to deal with it sounds like they poured everything they had into the abbreviated set.

They really did, but then again I've never seen them half ass it.

absolute bullshit having to stop @ 11, but given what they had to work with, these guys bust out yet another incredible fucking show, they can't control the weather, they can't control the law, but they sure know how to rock, obviously won't be topping my list of shows, but kudos to the fellas for bringing it

[DejaView2011]

Excellent (albeit short) show. Jim was magic and I'm selling everything I own to see every other show on this tour now. (LOL) The crowd was nice, but the band was SMOKIN!!!!!!!!!! People were dancing,singing and being swept away. I missed hearing "Wonderful, Outta my system and The way that he sings", but I ain't complaining. A night standing soaked to the bone watching MMJ tear it up is better than a good day at the beach. This band is going to save REAL music. Watch.
