Good chance that I can't make this show.  I have front row seats with sound check.  2 of them.  If anyone is interested send me a message.

Kudos to Clark for hooking me up.  I got 3 tickets with a friend I flew across the country 2007 to drag him to see a band he had never heard of before at the Orange Peel.. My Morning Jacket.  I'm so glad we got a pre-Evil Urges (with hair) show.  What an epic night.  Since then him and I have seen them at Red Rocks (awesome) and Cary (eh).   Looking forward to next Monday, big time.

Rowdy you lucky bastard! Glad to see you scored some tix. And thanks for sending me the email to rub it in  :'(  Hope y'all are having a great time!

OK, so bear with me here, it's 1:30 a.m. and I just rolled back into Charlotte. Might get a little long-winded because I'm operating on a good amount of caffeine. To sum it up, the guys absolutely set fire in Greensboro. Just an amazing show. Energy was high, acoustics were incredible and the band really played and fed off the crowd.

To start off, now, I won't take full credit, but all I'm saying is that I did send this tweet out to the band this morning:

Hey @mymorningjacket - since you're playing at War Memorial Coliseum tonight, it's only right we get War Begun. Looking fwd to the show!

Ask, and you shall receive. One of the highlights of my night, hadn't heard WB since Myrtle Beach. And it was spectacular!

As far as the soundcheck goes, it was pretty cool once we got in (lot of standing around to begin). They checked If All Else Fails, Easy Morning Rebel and I'll Be Home For Christmas. Easy Morning Rebel sounded fantastic, and that's when I knew the sound/acoustics were going to be great inside War Memorial. Jim said I'll Be Home meant a lot to the guys because they were nearing the end of the tour and looking forward to seeing their families during the holidays. Maybe that's what had them giddy during the show because as I stated, they really played off each other and the fans, which made for a great time.

Some highlights:
1. Of course, War Begun.
2. I was glad to see the setlist continued to be mixed up (i.e. no Victory Dance>Circuital>OTR to open the shows anymore. Hadn't seen It Beats 4 U in a while, just a reminder on how great that song is.
3. LOVIN the new extended jams on Golden and Touch Me Part 2. The guys really let loose tonight.
4. Best Easy Mornin Rebel I've ever heard, they killed it on that one.
5. Jim and Carl interacted a lot with us in the pit (which was a great party, everyone was groovin on down). There was a girl in front of where I was sitting who got a lot of love from Jim; he even did the E.T. finger touch with a few fans.
6. Was able to snag a setlist and got a Tom pick (both firsts for me).

Full setlist is below. The only one they didn't play was Nashville to Kentucky, likely because of said extended jams. All in all a tremendous show. I was a little let down the last show around these parts (Charlotte, which had to be cut short due to lightning, which was certainly not the band's fault, but still), but this more than made up for it. I have a feeling they're going to ride this hotness into Madison Square Garden, so you folks up north are going to be in for a treat.

P.S. I also am attaching a pic with my take-home goodies for the evening. Autographed soundcheck poster is a great thing, and I thought the local poster was pretty well done as well.

[liverustdave]

Wow, the encore is still rattling through my head. They KILLED the Wordless/Day is Coming/Black Metal/OBH run.   I'm speechless really.  Impressive show and LOUD.

[kotchishm]

Anyone know if there were tapers there?  I would love to hear that War Begun

[Penny Lane]

So happy for your big bday night, GABS!

to you, too Matt! of course they played War Begun for ya....

what a setlist..

[Chief Mageeetah]

I saw tapers, at least three.  Don't remember the guy's name that did the Charlotte show but I'm pretty sure he was there.  This was our 5th show and in the small venue it was by far the loudest.  Great to finally see them in NC without curfews and noise ordinances.  Great times had by all

[poochismyhomeboy]

Thanks, Penny!!! War Begun was ridiculous. :D

Just two of us last night.  I was up towards the front and the fans behind me complained so I had to move back.  About to get mine tracked and uploaded and i'll post a link in the taper forum here.  Both of us were at the Charlotte show as well. 

Show was incredible also!
