philadelphia set list 8.23.2011

[Penny Lane]

Oh man.  Last night I was texting ynwa and said "one of you better get a setlist".  I woke up this morning to a text on my phone saying "got one!" and a pic of my sis holding a setlist.  So proud.  Throughout the day I've been getting some snippets of what went down last night and I've been avoiding this thread like the plague all day.  I'm so bummed that I couldn't be there--the worst part of it is that I thought I couldn't make it because of a work priority and I realized yesterday I could have totally made it work.  Oh well.  Not in the cards for me.  So happy that you guys had such an amazing time!  I know it was the last show on this tour for many of you and it really does warm my heart to know that it went out like a bang for you guys.  I will keep praying that we get an nyc show announced soon so I can see all of your wonderful people in one place again!

Missed seeing you last night lil sis. Doesn't seem quite right looking at the  stage and not seeing you right up front.  ;) You'll be glad to know that your replacement really ROCKED THE HELL OUT,and did your seat (though it wasn't ever sat in) proud!  8)

I'm convinced that the good karma around here will come back to you, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see you pull some prime Roll Call seats for your next show or two. I hope to be right there next to you, but if not it'll be great as always seeing you and Liz rock the rail!

Here's to a NYC announcement soon.

that stinks, Lil Sis! you were definitely missed and i really appreciate you giving up your seat to me. i really did make the most of it!  ;) i know we'll get something soon, i know it...

I've read a few reviews of shows I've missed that had such universal raves I wondered if everyone was in on a joke to make me feel bad for missing.   Could everyone really all enjoy the same show that much?   YES – Philadelphia WAS that good.   WOW.   Easily best show I've seen in 2011 and will have to let a little time pass before I figure out more than that.

Highlights:
-   Seeing so many smiling faces and friends tailgating in the parking lot
-   The first beer of the day from Trish and Bob
-   Roll Call seating – thanks again!
-   Watching ynwa and Penny rocking out the whole show directly in front of us
-   When the above-mentioned turned  it up an extra notch for Anytime
-   When the above-mentioned magically appeared in the front row at some point in the concert
-   Lay Low goodness
-   Middle jam in TWTHSings
-   Mrs Magh33ta having a great time (although Dondante still takes the wind out of her).  She also mentioned "jim seems a little silly-dancing tonight" which I agreed with but better still, that she is starting to make such distinctions
-   Seeing random people I recognize from the boards, either from meeting briefly at prior shows ("I think that's Danz") or never even meeting but just recognizing (that's j_rud from the merriweather picture)
-   Cobra into movin away- bo getting a little spotlight / solo action
-       gideon late in the show when I'm good and warmed up (actually thought they were closing w this before PWW hit)
-   Great great setlist.   Every MMJ show I've ever seen has had a new song for me.   Was wondering if my streak would come to an end after many years and shows tonight but nope, got movin away for the first time.   I've now seen all of Circuital so next show might be tough.
-   Add back magheetah and swap Dondante for steam engine and that would have been the perfect show, pretty much.   Still was fantastic- just seemed to go on and on with great song after great song.   Getting anytime/lay low early and then that whole run at the end was just ridiculous.

Thanks, Eric!  Missed seeing you and your smile along with everyone else.  Def keeping my fingers crossed for an incredible NYC announcement.  And WHEN it does happen and we are together again I'll do whatever I can to make sure we can enjoy it together in the front! 

Penny: I heard that you absolutely did make the most of it and I'm so happy the seat went to someone who I knew would not disappoint!  So awesome that Jim gave you a high-five.  Would have loved to see your reaction as I can only imagine what mine would have been.  Happy to hear you guys had a blast...can't wait to do it with you again!

Dondante - My Morning Jacket @ Mann Center

Oh my.  I'm just sitting here stunned.  That could have been the best dondante ever and I didn't think I'd ever say that again.  unbelievable.   I guess that's the "spooky" beginning.  Bo is the fucking star of that Dondante.   Well maybe Patrick.   And then there is Carl's longest sax close ever......OH MY!

[peafunk31]

Did anyone see any tapers? I honestly wasn't looking for any as we were on the lawn. I really hope someone captured the magic of this show

There were two camera operators, one stage right and one stage right.  Not sure what that was about though.
