charlottesville set list 8.24.2011

[BH]

Anyone see any taping rigs?  I didn't even think to look.  I'd like to have a copy if one surfaces

Saw 3 rigs and talked to one of the tapers named George (nice guy) and he said he will post to bt.etree and eventually to the archive.

Review and photos to come...driving back to the Jerz in a downpour and trying to manage my post tour blues...

How old would you guess this George was?   Wondering if it was an old forum member that I have not heard from in a long time.....

Thanks for the kind words guys!  Trish and Eric too bad I didn't catch you guys in Philly, I think our paths will cross again in NYC mid September  ;)  But I did get a great conversation with Philly's own J Rudd and Dan just before the show started, you know when you have all that nervous energy and you're kind of freaking out.  That's the best.

whuuhh?

Oops that's a big typo, I meant to say mid December.  DOH!  Just in reference to the rumors, that's all.  Sorry bout that!

Dunno, don't remember exactly, I was basking in the post show glow... I would say he was in his early 40's, had grayish hair, maybe a beard.

The show was a great time, as always. I definitely wouldn't venture to say they had an "off night" at all. They still rocked out hard. But I think what they did in Philly the night before really set expectations high. It was a shorter set and was fairly vanilla. There weren't any surprises or rarities thrown in there or anything and I guess a lot of us thought they would go nuts for the last show of the tour. Still no complaints over here, though.

Yeah only saw a couple peeps in Philly but I was mostly lost in my own world.  Mid December sounds good to me!

I see me in the picture of the stage pre-concert. I got the setlist that was at Jim's feet.

Agree with Lurker's reflections - great pics btw.  I also went to the Merriweather show so was hoping to hear Lay Low and a rarity or two (still waiting to hear War Begun live).   

Now for my small rant -  my wife and I were on Jim's side right by the speakers and there was a group of very LOUD talkative frat boys in their polos that only paid attention to half the show (so distracting when your trying to get into the slow building songs like Dondante) . I believe it was the second to last song that a guy was trying to 'dance' his was up to the front row and some woman turned directly to him and said 'no fucking way your getting by me.' The dude played it off by proceeding to try to grind up on the woman at which point her husband grabbed the dude and said 'get the fuck off my wife' and shucked him out of the way!  Def had bad crowd experiences this tour (see the various Merriweather comments) .... nothing will top 'Roo 2008 for best crowd in my mind

I loved the vibe of that crowd as well at the 'roo '08 show also but i guess it may just depend on where you were located in that massive crowd.  Went to Merriweather also and didn't get the usual "chill" interactions that i have at MMJ shows but it could have just been where i was or my mindset at the time.  However i enjoyed myself at every MMJ show i have gone to regarless of what was troubling my mind, these guys really know how to put you in a great mood. ;D

Have to say to the Lurker that you took some good pictures and my favorite has to be the black and white one where you took a picture from low that is showing Jim over top of you with the guitar and the rest of the band at the base of the shot, absolutely the best shot in my opinion!!

Here to another show not too far down the road!!  Hopefully  ???
