Forecastle 2015

[kholl44]

Just read through all these posts for the first time since Saturday and all I can say is what a trip! Camping out on the rail for 7+ hours with all the other diehards was amazing and just made it that much more special to be able to share that experience with you all...
If anyone saw the dude with the Waterfall flag in the front, that was me

I was going to type "Sometimes an MMJ show cannot be judged by its set list." Then I realized that removing "sometimes" from that sentence makes it ring true.  What they brought to that Forecastle stage last night was magical and epic.

Well said, Woldie.

That was one hell of a show! No deep cuts and nothing too far out (bananas, anyone?), but the boys brought it as always! There was something really special in the air: the sunset, the festival grounds and toys, all of the sights, the bridges, the planes flying overhead, the lightshow... whew, it all combined to make Forecastle a truly epic experience.   

Jim's vocals were PERFECT and out of this world! All of the Waterfall songs have matured since I last heard them in Athens and Knoxville, and the addition of the symphony strings really added a special touch to some songs.

I'm hoping that MMJ releases an official bootleg of this show, but if not, I'll keep my fingers crossed for a taping to appear on archive. I missed the cult pamphlet but I would love to see its contents!

It was beautiful, just beautiful. LONG LIVE MMJ.

I hope someone had a fresh shirt for Pat. My man put in major work Saturday night.

Did anyone else get a copy of the MMJ cult pamphlet as they exited last night?!? MMJ references throughout!

No, but that sounds interesting.

On a side note, it seems Sunday was the most crowded day of the 3 and it seemed to me, bc I was in the way back behind the walkway and the vendors, that Modest Mouse got the biggest crowd of any show I saw all weekend. I was on the far right side for MMJ and so I really didn't see how far back the crowd went, but seems like Forecastle could have made Modest Mouse the 3rd headliner and left the debacle of Sam Smith out completely. Though looking back it was for the best considering Sam Smith only got to play 4 songs.

I also know Widespread Panic has a huge following so between them and Modest Mouse I guess that's why Sunday seemed more crowded than the other 2 days.

Once again I thought the festival was very well done. They didn't seem to run out of water or anything and even the bathrooms seemed to be well maintained. Highlights of my weekend were MMJ, tweedy and Widespread Panic. I thought tweedy sounded great and was thrilled they closed their set with California Stars! Worst part of the weekend, and obviously out of anyone's control, was the unbelievable heat and humidity!!

p.s. this is some sort of religious pamphlet and really not my thing. I have seen as much as I wanted to see of it. If anyone seriously wants to have it send me a PM with your address and I will put it in the mail.

Has a New Year's YUM show been announced or confirmed?

That's what I wanted to ask...?
I think this is wishful thinking?
But, curious if someone with even a semi legit source has heard this rumor?

Please & Thank You

[slappymoe]

nothing but wishful thinking on my part. and the possibility only crossed my mind after i read this:
