it's at least 20 degrees cooler than the last time i saw them (bonnaroo), so no complaints here.

Ok I phoned in and a very nice lady by the name of Heidi informed us that the guy we talked to was just being a tool. They let people show up @ 3:30.

well, it rocked hard.  look me off guard at times.  took me beyond where I expected to be.  knowing Phone Went West was suppose to close sucks BUT war begun took it so far past perfect.  touch me pt. 2->touch me pt 1 ending->war begun.  jizz factory.   lowdown, bone bone bone boner.  perfect.  it was a blur I was disrespectful to those around me in the pit, danced way too hardcore probably.  I'm exhausted.  sweat drenched.  Lay Low->Dondante had a legitamate Jam in between.  a LONG jam.  nothing I've ever heard them do.  suuuuuuuuuuper psychedelic.  have no idea what that neko cover was but my friend mug knew it and said neko FUCKED it up big time in a bad way.  it was decent. would have rather had phone went west.  quality show.  I kept making weird faces at jim.  i hope it tripped him out.

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

oh yeah I almost forgot.  Wonderful was accapella until the drums kicked in.  Jim played no guitar during the sound.  he pushed the guitar tech away when  he tried to hand him his guitar.  it was awesome.

[e_cooper]

Wow... It was indescribably epic! We were front center and we can longer hear or feel our legs.

[robb]

we must have been really close then.  i was on the rail right in front of jim.

Yeah, you must have been at least two people over from our right. We were next to a blonde & a brunette girl. I can't remember the names of the couple that were to their right & i think next to them was a girl named Devon(?) and a tall guy in a blue shirt.

Well I am still trying to wrap my head around last nights show. It was great to see Neko Case, she has an amazing voice. Her band was solid. Since I was so amped, I kinda felt like I was floating outside my body. There is something truly magical about being able to see the guys from the front row - I can't even explain it. Besides watching the "show" and absorbing the music, I got to see little nuances and expressions (facial and musical). As one song ended, it morphed into another song and I was totally enamored.

It seemed like there were many tech problems during the show. Jim pretty much had to sing Wonderful acapella due to multiple issues. He really ran with it and it was pretty intimate with him singing right over us in our faces.  Lay Low into Dondante into Gideon - oh my word. I agree with Sticky. He said it was nothing he'd ever heard them do. I agree. I have seen the guys 7 times (and of course each show is different), but it really felt magical - it was magical. It was ecstasy.

And as always, the fans are great. I always run into the nicest people at Jacket shows. Personally, being around a nice crowd makes the experience even better. That's my take.
