Not sure, but I think you may be right. 

Thanks for posting the setlist. Good to see Masterplan getting played a decent amount this tour.  It was one  of the highlights of the Bridgeport show for me.

Fully, I think I've made it pretty clear whether I will or will not shit my pants.

You're such a tease. Are you or aren't you?

I was proud of section 7 at SPAC. There were at least 10 people standing in my section during MMJ's set. Way to represent. During Steam Engine and Old Sept, the crowd was pretty dead but Circuital got people moving and clapping and cheering. The workers at SPAC were being MEGA camera nazis. I have never seen it that bad before. I found myself spending most of my time watching the workers yell at people rather than watching MMJ. By the end of the set there were a decent amount of people standing and cheering. I can't imagine that Anytime was the planned closer... maybe. Seemed to be missing that epic closer like Phone or Magheetah or OBH. I was surprised how quickly my interest dwindled after MMJ left the stage. I'm not a Wilco hater but I just can't really get into them. Having said that their set was pretty good and I enjoyed Garth Hudson. By the time Bob came out I was pretty much ready to leave. Not to disrespect the legend but his voice was awful and I swear during the first couple of songs none of the sounds he made were actually words. It sounded like the sound your stomach makes when it is hungry, but coming out of his mouth. It pissed me off to see the people who yelled at the MMJ and Wilco fans to sit down earlier, now standing and trying to dance to what was going on....while people behind them were still sitting. The mix of older Dylan fans and younger MMJ/Wilco fans didn't work out very well in my opinion. If I ever go to something like this again, I'll just stick to lawn tickets as I honestly don't feel like it was worth the $96/ticket for the pretty junky roll call seats I got. The people in the section behind me upgraded their lawn tix to pavilion tix for an additional 10 bucks. So they spent $60 less than me to sit right behind me. I'm trying to put a positive spin on it but between the stubborn fans everywhere, the camera nazis, it being a sunday night and knowing I had to wake up at 5 the next morning, the $11 beers, the short rushed sets and Bob's hungry tummy voice I just can't really say I enjoyed it as a whole. There were certainly highlights but I have definitely had more pleasant concert experiences. Maybe it was just where I was sitting. Curious to see what the other SPAC attendees thought about it...

I thought it was a pretty great show. I was on the lawn though, no way I was spending $96 to sit inside & deal with that. I had a pretty good glow on by the time Dylan came on, so I enjoyed it. I did however find those "cheap" $9.75 draughts. MMJ killed it as usual even w/ a less than stellar crowd. WILCO was very good, it would have been nice if Dylan allowed the big screens to be used for the people on the lawn who couldn't see the stage.

Thanks for the recap, Joey! Felt the same way about Dylan but out of respect don't want to post too much. Wilco fans took up the whole rail in CT and were on their phones during MMJ's set. (I love Wilco, no reflection on the band). I think it was a weird mix of a crowd.

The only thing weirder was that Black Crowes/Oasis/Spacehog brotherly love tour that summer! I'm totally dating myself but remember?!

honestly thought more wilco fans would be MMJ fans are vice versa.. I know I'm massive fans of both.

This idea was flawed from day one. As good as these shows may have been, somebody`s walkin away unhappy. I love MMJ, like Wilco and remember Dylan when he was young and dangerous. There`s a reason why The Who and Led Zep never opened for Elvis in 1975.
