Celebrate Brooklyn "State of the Union" (Jim & The Roots)

[subinai]

Is this a rain or shine event?  Thx

sure is

[CountSA]

It looks like my ticket will go to waste, so if anyone wants a free pair they are yours.  One catch though, I had hard tickets mailed to me and Ticketbastard said they can't switch them to e-tix...I can scan the hard ticket to a pdf and email, which can be scanned a the door (confirmed by 2 separate TM/Live Nation reps).  Hit me up if you're interested.

To answer my own question....

Celebrate Brooklyn! ‏@CelebrateBklyn 17m

Set times for tonight: @jimjames 7pm, @theroots 8:45pm, Jim James and The Roots 10pm

curfew is 10:30 so don't expect a long JJ / Roots set

[itrainmonkeys]

great set from jim. figures that he leaves and the rain lightens up. anyone able to educate me on what that last song was? i didnt recognize it but it was awesome

[alexzbik]

Jim with the Roots:
Dear God 2.0
I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man
Use Me
Instant Karma

[subinai]

that dub'd/reggae'd version of i could never take the place was the highlight buuutttt i was expecting more roots/jim interaction than those 4 songs.

[BH]

That's a cool set of 4 though!   kev flaherty nailed it.

Man what a concert. Jim was excellent as usual    They only had to skip one song. (losin yo head) .  The Roots blew me away too what a band.

I recorded three jim songs and all of the jim/roots songs.


Big thanks to Dylyn for the ride home. Much appreciated

Indeed a teriffic show. To all who weathered the rain, it was an honor to be amongst you. To all of you with umbrellas blocking the line of sight for the first set from as close as 3 rows back from the stage, go f**k yourself.

Didn't bother bringing my gear to this show, but if you guys haven't seen my photo gallery from the Webster Hall show yet I invite you to check it out (www.ghostsoffilm.com/photography).

In addition, I have a very limited edition print of one of the more iconic images in the gallery available as a 20"x30" full-wrap canvas print available for sale on my Etsy page (http://www.etsy.com/listing/153034521/jim-james-of-my-morning-jacket-20-x-30?ref=sr_gallery_2&ga_search_query=jim+james&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all).

It's the perfect consolation prize for any of you without the time or resources to hoof it south of the border in January.

That's a GREAT shot.

if you mean the part where jim played with the roots then yes. I got all of it! just slow upload since they're 1080p vids. Also i got a baseball game later so i won't be uploading more till tonight.

[dp74]

cool.  just checking.  great job with them.

[marshmeli]

great video and awesome audio Dillsnufus, cant wait until you up them all, maybe we will be getting an audio-only rip as well? love to have this show on my iphone

That's a cool set of 4 though!   kev flaherty nailed it.

nailed it!

[mcredder]

Really great show. Aside from all the umbrellas, Jim's set in the rain was great, and Dear One never disappoints with the triple drum solo.

First time seeing the Roots band play live and they really owned the show. When Jim is involved with other artists, he usually takes the spotlight, but this was definitely a roots sound show adding Jim. Expected more collabs, but couldn't have chose a better 4 than the ones they played. I'm sure Dillsnufus videos will be way better, but I have Never Take The Place of Your Man that I will upload later

[justbcuzido]

Would love to see Instant Karma added to the mix going forward. Any video of that so far?

so awesome.  thank you.  currently watching this on the AppleTv and it looks/sounds incredible.

[Angelo]

Good stuff indeed, Dills. So glad you captured this, man.


It's too bad they only played 4 songs together. I was thinking they'd do a whole set but how realistic would it be to expect that knowing they probably didn't have much time to rehearse?

[Dillsnufus]

Good stuff again, Dillsnufus! Keep them coming! Thanks so much!

No Problem. I love the results this video camera spit out . It's gonna suck returning it tomorrow. I'll repurchase it someday when I can. 

I remember seeing a picture of the setlist and they had one more song they were planning to play Family Affair (Sly and the Family Stone song)
