Wiltern Will Kick Ass!

[AsAboveSoBelow]

Does anyone know about how long last night's Dondante was? The jam they added before it was so heavy.

[tee-dub]

It was my first time experiencing the Jacket live, and what a great start.  I was sad not to get "Bermuda Highway", as that was the one of the few specific songs I was hoping to see which did not make it.  Oh well, just gives me a reason to go see them next time.  I can't say too much that hasn't already been said in the previous 8 pages.  Night 1 I was in the back of the lower floor, then Nights 2 and 3 on the rail in front of Carl, and I'm glad I moved up there because I felt much more energized.  Dog tired today after not getting to bed until 3:15 and being up 3 hours later for work, but will definitely be recovering over the weekend.

I've seen night 1 referred to as the "dark" set around here and night 2 referred to as more "rock n roll" - well night 3 to me seemed like The Awesome Feel Good/Everybody Love Each Other set.  The band was just smoking (as they were all nights) - but last night was a real party at the Wiltern.  So much dancing and fun had. 

Lionel Richie - All Night Long -!!!!!  Holy crap was this a great version of the song...

Loved the horn sectiong - Dancefloors was killer.

Dondante was magnificent!!!  This was my favorite thing from all 3 nights combined - so psychedelic and epic.  Well done.

Outta My System was the shit live.  What a great song!

I also want to give some love to Oh Sweet Nuthin - which rocked my socks off.

My girlfriend and I managed to make it to all three nights.  We were in the pit closer to the center of the stage on night 2 and we were right in front of Jim last night, which was a great place to be.  We got setlists from night 2 and 3, thanks to my girlfriend of course (they don't hand those things out to guys it seems...)  I can't pick a favorite of the 3 nights, each was unique and special in it's own right.  It was a ridiculous, fun, psychedelic experience overall and now I can say, with certainty, that I will never miss another My Morning Jacket show when they come to town.  This band is seriously on fire and love what they do.  And they kick serious ass, as well.

Thank you to everyone at My Morning Jacket for a kick butt week!

Yeah!  That was totally me!  Great to meet you.

Dancefloors with the horn section was my favorite performance of the entire run and that is saying a lot.  But for me '72 Stones-style rock 'n' roll with a horn section is the holy grail.  Dancefloors is already nearly there, but when you add the horn section into an already pounding Chuck Berry/classic soul riff, it just doesn't get any better than that!  Jim's high kicks ala Van Morrison in The Last Waltz are so freakin' awesome, I love that man!

Coming into Dancefloors from a horn-driven Highly Suspicious was brilliant, too.

So the horns (three piece section, trumpet, trombone and sax, I believe) were never introduced by name, but they played on Highly Suspicious, Dancefloors, Black Metal, All Night Long, Move On Up (which because of horns was way better than the really good version at Red Rocks) and One Big Holiday.  All Night Long had that place DANCIN'!!!!!, so much fun to see a hipster LA crowd lose their seriousness and let it all hang out on that guilty pleasure of a song.

Night 1, as the hardest rocking and most energetic (at least from my perspective) was still my fave of the run and also my fave Jacket show out of the 9 I've seen now (not  having been around for the epic shows of the past).  I thought Night 2 was mellow and folky and then night 3 was funky, putting the flavor of each night's Jacket show in line with the openers.  Portugal  the Man were damn good, they came out slamming a Sabbath-heavy riff, tight as hell, machine-like in their precision (exactly what I love about MMJ and Wilco).  Vocals were the only weak point for me, but the music was excellent.  I was not into Iron and Wine or Shabbazz, to put it politely.  But I like straight up rock, that's just me.  So not my favorite openers for MMJ (would've vastly preferred Everest or Sharon Jones again) but MMJ's sets were nothing less than amazing each night.  We really scored and feel super-lucky to get to see MMJ when they are still on fire playing three nights of brilliant rock.  Night 1 had me feeling like MMJ are for sure the best live band on the planet right now and probably in the top ten of all time rock bands who kill it live.

21 Minutes

I looked at the clock on the side of the stage, I was on the Rail in front of Tom last night.

Night 1 was my Favorite of the 3 Shows. Sam threw me a Rock The Casbah Lyrics show Poster and I got Night 1 and Night 3's setlists.

I'm kinda deaf right now. Really great time. Everynight was a different feeling.

BShep: My Morning Jacket "I Will Sing You Songs" live @ The Wiltern 9/11/12

Check out this video from the first night, especially the end (around 6:00). Jim gets up close and personal. Pretty cool.

HOLY CRAP! That's some crafty camera work...

the guy that filmed that was busting a nut all night long, just going nutzo; I thought Jim would back away when he kept, putting his camera ON JIMS GUITAR, but he didn't.  That guy's face is extremo melted, even still I bet.

And I'm just reading the comment above my previous one and I have to agree with DanceFloors. During/After that song show just got flat out fun after Night 2's more laid back Tone.

[Shug]

Oh, yeah, the other highlight  of the run was seeing Ron Jeremy holding court at the Rainbow Bar and Grill on Sunset at 1AM on a Wed night!  Just kidding, but that is a fun bar late night.

If I had to pick one I would say dancefloors is my favorite mmj song...that's saying a lot

[Non Sin Breaux]

I've never seen Carl get into the show as much I did at other MMJ Shows. This was only number 9 for me but he was sort of on MVP Mode Every Single Night.

All I'm hoping for is one MMJ LA Show next year and a Jim solo show at Spreckles Theater in San Diego.

I would definitely do Santa Barbara again if they did 2 nights back to back there.

I was sitting at the bar chairs in the back until Dondante. I wormed my way up to just second in front of Jim for OBH. During the solo he kicked his boot out and a girl grabbed the toe of his boot, and Jim let her hold it a couple of seconds directly in front of me. Was that your girlfriend?

Glad you got up to the front Dale, I was thinking about you down on the second level rail, but just couldn't break away to switch up.  Was thinking you should have just muscled your way down, we would have fit you in somehow.

I loved every minute of the three nights, from every vantage point. I got some more pics that I will send you from last night. Glad to have met you, Shug, Tubetop again, Yvonne, missed ChiefOkono, that I met at New Multitudes, and very sorry Penny Lane did not make it. Maybe I will meet her at a DBT show. After 33 years of concerts, I have never seen anything like that. My friend Bill was blown away, as was my son night 2, and he never listens to my music. Ironically, Frank, my musician friend that I took to night one, thought they gave too much, which is why we love them.

[Non Sin Breaux]

I got a finger touch during Touch Me Part 1 and Victory Dance from Jim on Night 3.

But at the end of Night 2 Jim gave me a huge high five right after the closer Mahgeetah.

So I was the only one he touched during the show except Sam during the George Harrison song.

nothing wrong with a Ron Jeremy sighting.   How was the drive home today Shug?

Nice to meet you two this week!

I remember reading this in my room before the show Thursday and enjoyed it:
