Nice setlist!  Congrats to Johnny Yac and others there.   I assume they really played IWSYS if LP is listing it.   Good to see EU too!   Seems to be fairly forgotten these days.

Yup.  IWSYS, Honest Man and Evil Urges?!  Ha!  I never thought I'd be excited with an Evil Urges appearance.  Nice :thumbsup:

MY THOUGHTS: This is only the second time I've had the pleasure of seeing this band.  I arrived in halfway through Jake and the Leprechauns who were a solid showing from Sherbrooke, QC.  Lots of fellow countrymen and I would think new fans showing love at the end of their robust set.  Short Break, smoke, more catchy but keep-me-guessing music in house.
Dim Lights.  Without need for introduction these five guys instantly became our hosts for the evening, one by one unfurling their own blend of the good vibrations that we love-- they quickly put the crowd into a frenzy.
Personal highlights for me included hearing Evil Urges again (what a solid tune) ; Honest Man really connected and got EVERYBODY moving, my gosh what a serious anthem of the people; Dondante was as long and strong as I have heard it (Big Jim spot and big Carl Ending) and I Will Sing You Songs was a smooth shot I suppose rarely seen today.  Legit MMJ Hitlist in 2011.  I jumped and stomped and clapped and hollered and shrieked Yip Yip Yip a lot.  Metropolis is a really solid venue... it is with mixed emotions that I acknowledge that Metropolis was maybe a little over half full-- floor only-- great because we were only all among our people, but its too bad so few and far between are on board up here!  Nonetheless  I definitely appreciated the chance to LOVE IT in an intimate setting.
Great show guys, thanks again and godspeed on the Euro trip!

I cannot stress enough that despite the fact that my ears loved hearing this music sound as beautiful, fueling and moving as ever, it was more the general vibe I felt among the event tonight that keeps me coming back.  At one point early in the night, donèt remember where exactly, perhaps at the end of Anytime or so when things started getting really warm: Jim had his back to the audience sorta standing in front of Bo, and he made this motion like a cat cracking his spine and shoulder span just getting ready to loosen up and unleash.

I will not forget this image.  I donèt know if it was deliberate on Jimès part, but for overall effect, that was a money shot.  Figuratively it set up the whole night (for me at least).  Literally, I feel like I cracked 6 or 7 vertebrae just watching the guy afterwards.

I donèt know what else to say other than the fact that MMJ really knows how to bring it across all lands, venues and crowds.  High fives to all I bumped around with in there.

Ièm not sure why me keyboard is trying to be french right now this has never happened before

He actually said he scored 2 posters, not "both".   I'm pretty sure there was only 1 version... he bought one for himself and one for his good buddy whom he knows collects these things  ;)

Penny Lane obviously failed the "reading comprehension" part of the SATs.

oh and PS Homeboy just tweeted again "Carl's pedal steel sings across this urban bleakscape...You Wanna Freak Out?" (he's obviously sitting in class waiting for the bell to ring so he can go home and rehash his night.)

ha!  he was first in line, but he also got the posters signed #1 and #2 (not always the case - sometimes you get random #s or they start at #21 becuase the artist has kept 20...) pretty cool.   Guess I'm getting #2 as there's no way to pry #1 from his omnichord-callused fingers.

I emailed branjo a few days ago about extras, cause hes my favorite artist currently, but still no reply.. ahhhh

Northern Neighbour

I saw Johnny briefly yesterday, but we were separated by a few people.  He said that he wouldn't have access to the internet, so we'll all have to wait for his review of the show.

In typical Jacket fashion, the band put on an epic performance.  I'm glad that we went last night and enjoyed the 2 hour 40 minute show as tonight in Ottawa they only have 1 hour 45 minutes.

I took a couple videos during the encore of the Montreal show.  Holdin' On To Black Metal and Highly Suspicious.  Awesome show.  Bring on Boston.
