[ffghtrs]

Yeah CHIMMJFAN...glad you made it after your fiasco.  I loved that set list...been obsessed with the Youtube video.  I'm only slightly annoyed with complaints.  if they didn't get it that's their own problem it was a spectacular night.  very fun.  dondante into the lay low jam was amazing as was the Steam Engine sequence.  its time to sleep i could spell engine for like a minute.  I'm OUT!

Thanks man, yeah it was a magical night. I can't say it enough those who get to experience Red Rocks on a consistent basis are very lucky. That place is a great venue and I will definitely have to get out there the next time MMJ play again. I'm looking forward to next years tour and the new album!

The past few years they have done a show at Red Rocks in late January.  I think it's been rap oriented most years, but I wouldn't rule it out.  I remember the first year, there was a huge storm and they had people shoveling the seats for hours before the show.  I wish I'd gone to one of them because I'm sure it was quite the experience.

hahahahahah i know im fucking nuts for suggesting all of that, but hey, i think it'd be fucking awesome! and to be honest, the winters in Utah and Colorado haven't been snowy the last couple of years, they've been cold and dry, and some nights it gets up to a frosty 50 degrees with dry feelings everywhere, sooooo it could happen....I'D BE THERE

 A show in the snow would be epic... The heat at Forecastle this year was miserable but waiting it out all day with the other diehards made the experience very special! Epic conditions make for epic shows; let's get them booked to play on the moon or something

Charles checking in from Uganda again. I can't wait to hear this show, and hopefully later to see it on DVD. I just read this whole thread and very much enjoyed the discussion about the merits of this show. As a few of you agree, we are a bit spoiled.

As my avatar indicates, I was "raised" on The Who and to this day still believe their 1971 (two shows in Denver), 1973 (drove to Dallas), 1975 (Front row, Kansas City), and 1976 (Front Row, Denver) shows were literally the pinnacle of live Rock performance. Yes, I am THAT old. But The Who have never varied their set lists much, each tour had its own static list, with a rare exception here and there..

If there were 500 roll call members at the MMJ Red Rocks show, that means 7,500+  people were watching MMJ for their only time that year. What do they care about what MMJ played last week?  So bottom line, the fact that MMJ varies their set lists at all is to their credit. These guys appear to be hitting on all cylinders now, so be happy if you get to see them multiple times during a tour.

Peace!
Charles

Wise Mr.Seeker knows his shit!!!

Wow, listening back to the recording this show was really smoking.  Sounds better than what I recall from being there (thank you legal medication).

Will likely become my go to official live boot

Are there better recordings from the tour I should be checking out?

Recording quality wise, nothing even close. But I really like the Raleigh, Meriwether Post, and Atlanta Fox shows. Charlotte is also very good with the Lucius collabs. I keep going back to Atlanta night 1 the most.

I do like the Athens recording quality probably the best for an audience recording,  but the set list doesn't have the diversity of the shows later in the tour.

Quality wise one of the 3 nights of the Chicago 3 run was streamed as a soundboard quality. Someone on here recorded it.

The video from Bonnaroo this year is better produced than the RR video, in my opinion. Audio recording... meh

i watched 'Roo again this weekend.  I thought you were just trying to be pure contrarian but I can appreciate that position because 'Roo was really well shot and produced. That Lay Low tho!!  One of the best this year (or any year)

The show in Manchester last Sunday was just amazing. A very tight small venue used for up and coming UK bands and bands from further afield trying to break it in the UK. The Ritz although small was crammed with fans from all over the UK. Genuine fans wanting to see the greatest band on earth. This lead to a superb atmosphere but we still got the pricks who would chat during the early part of Dondante. Unlike myself who was just awe struck listening my all time favourite piece of music from my all time favourite band.

Regarding the video of Red Rocks. The file is 6 gigs. My software allows me to burn it on a standard DVD, which is 4.7 gigs. The decline in quality is noticeable. Not terrible, but like the difference between a blue ray and a DVD. Anyone know if I burn it on a dual layer DVD disc, which is 8 plus gigs, if the video will retain the full quality?

That's what I did, with apparent success.

Did anyone get a reprint poster of the red rocks show? I ordered mine about two weeks ago, with 2nd day shipping, still have gotten it. Was wondering if there is a delay or anything.

My understanding was that the reprint was to be shipped some time in October, and was plainly stated as such on the order page.
