Jim Nashville 2/1/13

[Fully]

It wasn't like that where we were in front. It was a great show. The album translates very well live. Very well. The jam at the end of God's Love to Deliver was amazing. The entire show was like that. Jim's suit is a big improvement over the brownfit too. Jim looked alternately like a preacher there to deliver us a message and a sixties soul singer. Carl's set was so good. I could have gone home a happy woman after his set, but there was more. Also, with Carl there, it made it seem less like we were seeing a husband out cheating on his wife when Jim played Jacket songs with another band. I was so lucky to get to go to this. Thank you so much Waddy Peytona for asking me to go with you. I feel so lucky to have got to go to this show. I'm looking forward to May 2 when Jim comes back to Nashville. I"m even thinking about getting tickets for the Louisville show now. It comes at a bad time for me to take off work, but I'm going to have to seriously consider going.

very heartbreaking to hear about the no show roll callers.

so jim played sax and guitar and...?

[slappymoe]

wow.   what a treat.

thrilled and honored to have been there. 

[Sheets Of Clay]

so jim played sax and guitar and...?

Jim didn't play sax. Keyboard guy did the Know Til Now solo. Jim had a sax but he was faking it. It was hilarious.

Okay here's what I have to say: AMAZING. The whole day was awesome: I went to Grimeys first and bought a couple old PJ 7", a Phossy record, and BFs Damaged. Then hangin with Beth and Seth and Brad and Chap and meeting two cool ass people from this board for the first time: Sheets Of Clay and dapguitar. You all ruled.

Carl's set was awesome. It really shocked me how normal he was, but also how he has the persona that could totally front a band. He's not the shy little man I thought he was! I loved it and I love Carl.

Jim's set... Just wow. The album came through GREAT. Dear One and GLTD both rocked SOO hard. the album ended with a Dondante style jam. Really really awesome. The record definitely makes sense to me now. And, like Jim wanted, it was definitely a danceable event!

And the encore: I don't think I have to say how awesome it was to see Jim Carl Ratterman And Givan to fucking rip through some jacket songs. And I definitely recognize the bassist and drummer. I wonder if they're in bands here in Louisville?


Thank you thank you thank you Clay! I look forward to hanging out in Nashville and Wrigley (hopefully). You are awesome.

I was wondering if any of you who were let in we're on the forum. Good job folks!

For future reference whoever was yelling the entire fucking show about how much she loved Jim and creamed in her panties every time she yelled his name and Carl's name during his set, that shit got old after the first three times. If I had known who it was I would have gone back there and told her myself.

Also, I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed hanging with ewind, scosby, caroline, timescraper, dapguitar, sheets of clay, waddy peytona (thank you so much again, it was so nice of you   Maybe we can do another show soon) pattilovesmmj, and I'll never forget meeting mamakel - very memorable encounter, chicka. We have some great forum peeps and I got to finally meet and be photobombed by the Branch too. His wife Kelley is lovely too. Also, met our allyclover too. Nice to hang with you Ally! You got a lot of eye contact - ha!

As far as the phones and shit, that did not go Down up front. I gotta tell you as far as annoying crowds go, that was about as little as you're ever going to get. One yelling bitch in the back that you knew was annoying not only you but everyone else ain't too bad. I've definitely had to Stand near much more annoying shit than that. For the most part, people appreciated the experience. But, there are always going to be in-greats fucking annoying the shit out of you and I got none of that (essentially) last night

Well, I wasn't at the show last night, but yelling and screaming repeatedly during the music should be added to the list of annoying concert behaviors if it is not on there already. 

I understand the occasional yell or cheer, but anything beyond that is just obnoxious and rude.  Other people are trying to actually, you know, hear the show.

Had a similar experience at the SF New Multitudes show. (two girls screaming at Jim the entire night) Not cool when it's a more intimate performance or a quiet song. Makes it uncomfortable for everyone... We all get excited, understandably, but knowing when it's appropriate is being respectful to the artist and  fellow fans.

Happy to hear all the glowing reports! I had no doubt!

I wasn't going to travel out of town for this tour, but the show was so good I've already bought a ticket to Louisville. There's another rumored date that may pop up close by. If it does, I'm going to that one too in addition to the other two I've already planned on. Having Carl there really made the night special. Carl should open for all of Jim's solos shows. It would be awesome.

Seriously.  It's just basic respect and common decency (not just to fellow fans as Val points out, but to the artist that the person so adores).  Get ahold of yourself and take some time to just, you know, listen.  Or in the immortal words of Ice Cube:  chickity-check yo self before you wreck yo self!

Glad to hear that the songs are translating well live.  Can't wait for the PDX and Seattle shows (The Neptune looks like an amazing venue)!

Mr. White, it isn't hard to get on the front row when there's less than 100 people in the crowd. Or when you are forced to go to the front when you'd rather stand behind some really tall guy; isn't that correct scosby?

Great meeting all of you forum members! It was truly a magical night!  Great time standing next to scosby and fully. As far as the yelling, etc, it was a bit anoying at times but I've def been around worse situations. I think a few had a few too many is what is boils down to. Also, in case you didn'tknow , Mamakel wishes Carl a very happy birthday! Haha.

Once again, so so so many lifetimes of thanks to rjlemons for making it possiblefor me to experience last night . So gracious. And such a positive person. Just cant say enough about it.

I think my favorite part of the night was when Jim stated how much it meant to him to hear everyone sing along on Wonderful. The lyric ... The feeling... The night... Wonderful the way I feel.

Got a few pics I'll share when i get back home. Also gonna upload a few videos to youtube.

@ dapguitar... Can you send me the pic you took of me and Ratterman? Email heyeazy@me.com
