The Meadow Brook Thread 8/16

[RobRoy286]

I just now realized that while it still says Row E seats 101-102, it also says "Type: General Admission Pit Ticket - Will Call only" 

What the hell?

that is strange.  maybe since you're so close you get a seat and can wander into the pit if you choose?  that would be awesome.  who knows.  mine just says "GA Pit (GA Pit)" and it was like 40bucks + 7in charges per ticket.  was there a price difference between certain types of tickets? lawn I assume was like 10bucks cheaper?  haven't been to meadow brook in a while.  great outdoor venue.  saw yonder mountain and the flecktones there and the acoustics sounded tiiight for outside.

I called the venue and ticketmaster, they assured me I would have a seat in the pavillion

when they come out for the encore you should rip that seat out and throw it at the stage.

What songs are you all hoping for?

War Begun would be nice...

War Begun would be nice...

With all the long-lost gems they've been pulling out lately, I wouldn't even be surprised! Fingers crossed...

[hcardenas]

First MMJ concert for me. I'm wondering if anyone is recording and bringing good ol Syd along! I saw the Mars Volta in 09 but no one recorded the show but shit happens. Just hoping there is a concertphile out there that'll give us other 'philes the good deed! Other than that I'll definitely be  :D

Would love to hear it makes no difference.

I would love that as well.

First MMJ concert for me.

This will be my first too. My son is coming along with me.

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

my friends head will explode if we get phone went west.  so that's probably my number one at the minute.

[robb]

i hadn't thought about it makes no difference until just now, but yes, please.  jim was born to sing that song.

also, it doesn't mean anything, but i had a dream last night that they covered hank's "kawliga"...

[oistheone]

After much deliberation, I think my one request for this show has gotta be Strangulation. Or maybe I Think I'm Going To Hell? Actually, It's About Twilight Now.

Clearly I still have some deliberating to do.

Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled out a tune that hasn't been played yet this tour. They've been whipping out surprises every night, no reason to stop now!

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

they mentioned the meadow brook show on the Craig Fahle Show today on WDET.  travis wright said something about them being the best live rock band alive right now or something.  I told craig the host he needs to setup an interview with jim or the band or something before the show since detroit music is such a huge part of their influences.  would be cool but I'm not going to hold my breath.  nice to hear them getting respect and high praise here.

[SmokinShootin]

I am debating whether or not to go, but I haven't found anyone to go with.  I have this day off work. 

[oistheone]

When in doubt, go alone.

I am thinking of the sound Scoob is making here:

I'm not sure when I'm getting there yet.  still waiting to hear back from my friends but you and everybody else is welcome to swing on by where ever we end up chillin til the show starts.  we might not get there until show time, which is my worry.  I need to energize with booze beforehand if I want to truly help the band get into the zone.  once the show starts nobody talks anyway.  maybe take a few doobies if you blaze and mingle with the people around you.   it's on a tuesday so it's not like you have to stay out late.  hit the show dude, hit the show.  you'll regret it if you don't.  get two tickets and take somebody, anybody who might like it.  sometimes money is the only factor for people and it's a good present. 

DO NOT MISS THIS.

i think i finally settled on the #1 song i want to hear tuesday:

i will be there when you die.

Good call.  It would be pretty sweet.  It was the runner-up choice to Steam Engine in the online fan poll for encore at Unstaged in L'ville 5/31.  I'd think the fact they offered it as a choice means they're itching to play it. 

[iLikeBeer]

iLikebeer and others from the other thread where you at?   

Hey man.  I'm still here and getting truly psyched for a beautiful evening in Detroit on Tuesday!  Been a hectic couple of weeks with some family camping sandwiched around last Monday's Jacket show in C'bus so I haven't been frequenting the board as much!

Any places close to the venue to grab a few good beers (Oberon or some other tasty Bells Beers on tap?) and some grub for some energy?  My wife and I are staying at a hotel off of I75 about 4 miles from Meadow Brook and I'm hoping to get there around 4 or so.

What songs are you all hoping for?

Gotta say, after seeing what they pulled off in Columbus just last week and seeing all of these incredible setlists they keep busting out, I am really excited to see what they pull out of their hats on Tuesday!

I've really been itching for Phone as that is one song that has eluded my ears live thus far.  And I about lost it when I heard them bust out Strangulation in C'bus last Monday as I thought there would be no way in hell that song would be played again so quickly after they played it at Red Rocks!

After Phone, I'd have to side with some of the other requests including IWSYS, War Begun and I also concur that IWBTWYD would kick some ass as well!

We've got pit tix as well for anyone else looking to meet up.  Anyone know when the gates open?
