LA Gibson Amphitheatre Roll Call

[nectars]

was there an LA poster?

[Sangban]

nice one.

were there any sit-ins by the dapking horns or anything like that?

[arhubs]

Seems like Jim went at least 4 songs in a row with little or no guitar. And, the extended intros and outros to cover for the techs working out the issues cutting into stage time. Those factors had to affect the setlist.
Hopefully, the upside will be a different set tonight (and minus issues)

That burwell is sexy.

It was such a fun show and they did a little bit different jamming in some of the songs, always good!   We got in the pit so that was super sweet.. real close up! 

War Begun was amazing as was Phone Went West!  It beats was such a sweet surprise and so was Evelyn.  During that break in the song they all froze like statues.  Movin Away was beautiful!  The last few songs had horns from the opener, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings.  Very Sweet!!! :)

Loved the soundcheck, what a treat.. it was hilarious hearing jim talk about how the simpsons ride changed his life!  Also the version of slow slow tune was most excellent!

Great show as I expected but was a bit shorter than I thought it would be, it went by so fast!!

p.s. i also loved jim's jazz hands and that he brought out the golden bear in his hands at the end while thanking everyone!

[gardenparty]

yeah, the early technical difficulties led to some extended jamming.  the jamming continued the rest of the night.   Really fun show and different than the last few i've been to

Highlights were PWW (played at much better tempo than they were doing in 08), Highly Suspicious and of course War Begun)   3 of my hopefulls!

sorry i didn't keep track of set but i'm sure it'll be posted coplete soon enough

It's incomplete and only 18 tunes.

is the video attached to these songs from last night? very cool if so and i wonder if there is a download for it?

[TalkofCircles]

Show was insane! Roll call was the best idea, as I got GA and it was worth every cent.

Phone Went West (w/ jams)
War Begun (w/ jams)
Smokn from Shootn (the steady kick drum was cutting right through me)

Didn't have Slow Tune on the setlist I found online.  Looks like an amazing time and a nice poster to boot!

[e_wind]

What were the sound check songs?

[jaye]

oh wow - I was so hoping for War Begun tonight in SF.   I keep thinking of that video where Jim is playing his solo with fireworks in the background.   Oh well - I'm excited for any surprises and still hoping for Strangulation.   Soundcheck in a few hours!  :D

[cre618]

5th show of the tour for me, and while it wasn't my favorite, I was surprised to hear some things I hadn't on this tour.  The people I was with who have never seen them were blown away, so the boys did their job.

Soundcheck was way cool.  Setlist was:

1. Golden (always nice)
2. Slow Slow Tune
3. I'm Amazed
4. The beginning of Victory Dance

No technical problems during the soundcheck!  It was a bummer to see Jim struggling throughout the show last night, but he seemed to take it well.

[SaraBananaBear]

Highly Suspicious! Eeeep! :D

[Reverend ToneZone]

War Begun!  Fuck yes!  Phone Went West too, I was so stoked!   :D

Even though they had all the sound difficulties I think we still benefited by getting to see the boys jam so many of the songs out.  They started jamming while shit was getting fixed but everyone seemed to enjoy it, especially Jim, so they started jamming almost every song during the 1st hour + of the set.  It was rad, very different.

So glad to hear It Beats For You again live too!  Missed that the last 4 or 5 times I've seen them.

They had the horn section from the Dap Kings for pretty much the entire encore, 2 saxes and a trumpet.  I was hoping for Masterplan right after Black Metal but no dice.  Got Highly Suspicious again instead, the only Jacket song that just doesn't really move me.  Loved the solo though, always do.

I thought it was a great show overall.  Lots of slow jams.  Would have loved to hear Wonderful somewhere between Golden and Smokin, that was a rad slow jam section though none the less.

Thanks again boys, for another fantastic evening!

p.s. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, PERFECT Jacket openner!!  They definitely got the crowd moving and ready to party.

My Morning Jacket "Phone Went West" (Dub Style) at Gibson Ampitheatre 2011-12-01

here's PWW from last night

[Ru-day]

Some awesome surprises. Evelyn! Phones, War Begun. Tons of technical difficulties. Seemed their frustration mounted through the night. So when they finally started going smoothly they seemed to play like they were getting their aggression out and felt better. Sound check party gave us three 1/2 songs. Perhaps not worth the extra cash but we did get a sweet poster signed by the band. Hoping for smoother sailing in sanfran tonight! Seems like they had to maybe tweak the original play list because of all the tech problems. I still had a great time regardless of all the problems.

It was great meeting you and Mr.Rizzos last night. Have a blast tonight and please send they boys my love! :)

[e_wind]

that PWW does sound a little more "fun"
