Edgefield, anyone?

[ms. yvon]

ok peeps, don't forget your rain jackets.  this one could get sloppy.

[ms. yvon]

just home from this show.  the sun came out just in time for everest's set, and gave us a gorgeous sunset/twilight start to mmj's show. 
[disclaimer]i know i've been bailing out of posting notes after shows this week but i've got to get an early start tomorrow.[/disclaimer]

show synopsis in 3 beats:
1.  hilarity
2.  badassery
3.  perilous brass bear positioning

huge props to phoebe whose exuberant fandom was such that it brought change to the set list! in place of the scheduled dancefloors, they played her request, highly suspicious!

THANK YOU to everyone who made this a terrific time! i loved the edgefield before today, and now my crush has deepened.  vespa, matthew, phoebe, rizzo, rizzo's girl, le barba de castro, wizzard: you kids bring the quality to the neighborhood.    hope to see you all real soon!

just realized we missed you, lucylew!  :-\

[keyfur]

woo hoo!

we were right up front on carl's side for the show.  my voice is shot today.  such a great experience.  many of the new songs sounded even better live.  loved the victory dance > citcuital opening.  it seemed like you want to freak out was a challenge to the crowd.  you want to freak out?  well take these 10 songs and have at it.  that was when the show really took off for me.  steam engine was the one song i really wanted and the boys came through.  just when it looked like they were pulling that to a close, it went through the roof.  the run thru > mahgeetah was just incredible!  i was not expecting mahgeetah to follow and the jam/badassery was full on.  and what a surprise war begun!  i had not been checking set lists, so was unaware that rare gems were being hauled out.  that was so special.

everyone killed it last night, especially carl.  too bad the sun didn't go down til 9, as a lot of the light show was lost on us.  damn these northwest summers!

what did the rest of you think?

DAMN IT!!! That's where Dancefloors went! As much as I may bag on Highly Suspicious, it was a great time live. Wife said it was like they were trying to prove how awesome that song can be.

From now on I'm carrying a "Play Dondante" sign to every MMJ show I attend. Maybe I'll get a really big sign and make an entire set list!

hey rizzo & r.g:  thank your brother & sister-in-law again for the post-show tater tots.  the arrival of those snacks will live in legend!

It helps to be a cute 9 year old who misspelled "Higly".

[ms. yvon]

that song will forever more be "higly suspicious."

[Crispy]

that song will forever more be "higly suspicious."

I, for one, am looking forward to the next chance to scream "Higly Suspicious!"

what do i think??

what's a keyfur?

[La barba de Castro]

Many thanks for those tater tots! Tots should now be a standard post-Jacket show event.

[Rizzo]

We are currently researching our tater-tot options in the Red Rocks area - if you need a little more incentive to make the show ms. yvon & la barba. Reliving the shows through your recaps from those detailed notes you took. What on earth would we have done if your pen didn't get saved in Seattle?  Both of us are struggling to turn off our MMJ post-show Brains and focus on our real life. 

All I want to know is why weren't we offered to touch the golden bear?

what's a keyfur?

opening doors?
opening minds?

Please tell me that some industrious person taped this show, and then immediately let me know where I can find a copy..

..please  ;)

THIS!

sadly, i did not see any taping set ups in the crowd.  rain was forecasted and maybe the tapers did not want to risk their equipment.  one can hope, tho.

if you don't have it the edgefield show from 2008 is on archive and really kicks ass!  been trying to relive tuesday by listening to it for a few days.

hopefully some virtuous patience will pay off.

Just coming down from my 2 and a half hours of perfect happiness at the Edgefield show. I can't imagine a better venue for my first MMJ concert...such great vibes from everyone; and I was right up front. Sorry I didn't get to meet my fellow MMJ Fanatics, it would've been a hoot! What a great show. I was totally in the zone. Think of all the joy this band spreads all over the country and the world. Positive Energy! Okay..I needed it, that's for sure. I received and now I want MORE.
