That was my buddy and me.  I remember being so amazed that you had that show already.  Thanks for the ride again, so clutch. I'll repay one day

Speaking of which... How about Evelyn > Masterplan > Steam Engine from night one at OBH!? Shit was Banas-nanas! Wish I could be listening to that right now. Best Masterplan I've heard them play..

That was just from the first set of the first night! What an awesome week! It was the first time I've gotten a chance to meet other MMJ fans and everyone was so cool and nice (usually don't speak to anyone while I'm rocking out, so the free time in between shows was an awesome time getting to know folks). I'm excited to see all my new friends again at the 2014 tour stops - I'll be at several shows. I'll bring La Mota

One of the best weeks of my life!  Amazing!  That cover of "Dear Prudence" with Bob was one of the coolest things I've ever seen!  The set lists were unbelievable and got better each night, which didn't seem possible

Sure was nice of them to let that homeless dude on stage (just kidding, Bob - go back to your trash can. I still love you)

Rider and Brown Eyed Women were my fav Weir collaborations

not sure if this has been posted yet...

My Morning Jacket - OBH - Dont Do it & Anytime (Riviera Maya, Mexico January 29, 2014)

[SpaceWrangler]

JUST GET THAT PWW ON THE INTERWEBS PLEASE!!!!!!

+1 ... best p-dubs(Phone Went West) I've ever heard them play

Based on these last three shows, I think 2014 is going to bring more jams like PWW the other night

[SpaceWrangler]

My highlight was the entire 2nd night

The Dark opener
Sing You Songs > P-Dubs
Sweet Nothin > black metal > TMIGS pt2
And every other song for that matter

Head exploded the entire night... So Thanks IMeMine for posting all the set lists to help my memory.

They played like 3.5 hours I think. Felt like a lifetime

[KittyKy]

Carl was El Fuego, totally right ImeMine, he destroyed everything he picked up!

Night 2 was the night for me!

What a fantastic couple of days...

See ya'll this summer!

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

wait - they didn't play on the 28th at all?

I've lurked here off and on for a while, mostly just to get up to speed on gossip for shows I'd be attending.

I just got back to work after 24 hours of travel hell...delays, cancellations, stand-bys, sleeping at ATL, still don't have luggage.  And boy do I hate this job I've come back to.  So I keep daydreaming about the past few days.

One little thing from these shows stands out to me, in my pondering retrospect, of what a cool experience this was.  The little thing was all those wonderful glow-sticks.  I don't know who came up with it, if Cloud 9 was involved, or folks from here who planned ahead, whatever.  What I did think was so damned cool was that, here is this band, certainly popular, but not widespread, and it's relatively challenging music to get into as far as rock...by that I mean you've got to put in your time, listening, enjoying, seeking out the rare stuff, all of that.  So anyways, they take the stage, and no matter what they are going to open with, everyone is ready, all on the same page, we know the song, we know when it kicks, we know the most epic moment to throw those beautiful sticks up in the air.  9 bands out of 10 at MMJ popularity or better, they're going to have their own sparks or lights or whatever to accentuate the songs.  But here we had this beautiful symmetry of spirit, we were their special effects, shooting up into the sky at just the right moments, and then there decorating the show the rest of the night.  Victory Dance the last night was the best example of this.  I was just smiling ear to ear taking it all in.

Anyways, I'm delirious from lack of sleep, so maybe I'm on my own with this happy thought.  But to me that one fun little idea exemplified the vibe of the entire event.  We were all there enjoying the band and this music, that for whatever reason, clicks with us, I think in pretty deep ways for a lot of us.  Everyone there was into it, and loving it, and was going to stay 'til the last drop every night, soaking it all in.

Good times.  Thanks to anyone reading this who had anything to do with making this happen.

good post here. I am dying to see more video from the bands perspective.

There's a short 20 seconds of OBH from a keyboard tech out there on instagram. It's amazing. Many times, I sat there thinking "man, I wonder what this looks like from their perspective". Night 3 the glow stick throw caught Carl's eye and drew a quick smile. There were a few more moments like that when you just knew their minds were melting just a little too.

The energy they were throwing out was being tossed right back at them. Pretty surreal at times. So good.

Glad to hear everyone had a blast, but glow stick throws?  Really? 

What's next, beach balls?

[Come Closer]

All three nights had some incredible batches of 4 or 5 consecutive songs.  Night three had the hardest rocking Dondante I've ever heard.  Picture of You was a highlight and not because it's rarely played, but because it was simply awesome.  The jam at the end WOW.  The last several songs of night 3 weren't particularly rare  or special for those of us who have seen MMJ a lot, but they were a ton of fun and well placed in the show.  Well Dancefloors and Highly Suspicious were pretty special with the Pres Hall Jazz Band horns in the mix.  I gotta say the sound was perfect every night and for every band.  They nailed the mix down just right.

Agree on all fronts. Night 3 might have been my least favorite show, but Dondante was off the hinges. Dancefloors was tasty too. As some others are saying, night 2 was the most memorable for me also.

Definitely the best week of my life. Obviously the shows were just unreal, but even little things like 5:30am room service sitting in the hot tub to the music selection by the pool every day (tons of live Pearl Jam, Ryan Adams, MMJ) made me feel like they just took my iPod and used it. And let's talk about the drink service during the shows... If they had people walking around in GA with beers here in the states That would be awesome.
And yeah I forgot they have the Phish mgt people now. And as for quality, their mp3 'a sound as good as any other but you can wait and get the physical cd later on if you are into that. Exciting news for sure.

There was a beach ball too....

If this is made into a DVD I think I would watch it twice a month. I would make people that come over watch it with me. I would even buy 5 plus copies and send them out as Xmas gifts. Then make those people watch it and ask questions about it.

I'm such a difficult person.

Dude were you there?  If you were how did we not see you???!

The longtime manager has formed a partnership with a rather large company that happens to also be affiliated with phish. This is far from being managed by the same folks as phish. Greater resources but the same team, for the record. And the whole bootleg thing is still very much in the process of refinement and will streamline and improve. Phish has a bigger audience and infrastructure and budget and thuos can approach it in a different way, but MMJ is very excited about the future of their live releases and everyone is going to keep striving to make it as great as the music deserves. The feedback here does not go unnoticed tho;)

[Penny Lane]

Did they band say they'd be back next year or sources at the resort?

I've heard from multiple sources that they want to but nothing booked yet --might be different location, or different hotel. Heard the first day from a Cloud 9 higher up more like every two years..who knows. It was incredible.  Would do it again if I can afford it.. And even if I can't.

[bartel]

Every 2 years would make more sense similar to Wilcos solid sound festival
