Ahhh shit I forgot to ask the box office what time MMJ went on while I was there.

Anyone get the lowdown on start time???

If Chicago is any indication, Hiss Golden Messenger plays for 1/2 hour, and MMJ hits the stage 30-35 minutes after them. MMJ hit the stage between 8:30-8:35 every night.

I am jonesin' for a full setlist because I can't remember everything! I will say that Phone and Steam Engine were the best versions I've ever seen. And O?! You kiddin me?! I was groovin next to a garbage can and almost threw myself in it because my moves were so filthy. 21st show and by far the best ever!!

Firsst off Hiss Golden Messenger is fucking good. Never listened to them much but that's definitely going to change. Been listening to them since the show

MMJ was sick as always, let's see. I don't remember much, I'd have to see the Setlists to remember everything. Believe is a great opener.. As far as other Waterfall material, didn't like Tropics too much. In Its Infancy was a good one. Only Memories Remain had a beautiful beautiful lead out jam, got a bit trippy. Speaking of trippy/amazing in general, the jam out of STEAM ENGINE. WOOO, that was fire. I'd say the whole song was the highlight of the night for me.

What else played.. First Light, Lowdown, What a Wonderful Man, Golden, Off the Record, I'm Amazed, It Beats For You. Believe/Tropics/Infancy/Memories/Steam Engine has been mentioned, was Phone Went West before the encore? This is in no particular order, someone could organize if they remember it better. I'm probably missing a few

Encore was Hopefully, Victory Dance, Touch Part 2, Gideon, Mahgeetah, I think this may be the right order.


I felt that, and I'm not saying this in a bad way because I was one of these people once and everybody has been, a lot of the crowd were casual music listeners who didn't know MMJ too well. Some people were totally into it, quite a few weren't at all. I'm used to jam band shows where everybody knows every word of every song and thus is extremely into the show, so this was a bit of a different scene. I know some people went home today as newly discovered MMJ fans so that's great

I'm not saying this in a bad way either but MMJ isn't a jam band, hence the different scene. That, and I think the BIG buildup to "The Waterfall"LP, has brought out a lot of curious people/casual listeners. The band themselves have actively avoided being pigeon holed with the "jam band" moniker. Although they do have followers and people who know every word of ALMOST every song...
I don't even think Jim knows what he's singing half the time :)
Hope you had a good show :beer:

Nor do I expect a jammy show (though Steam Engine and a few others were jammy with extra sauce), I just noticed more casual listeners who weren't really in the MMJ scene at all and seemed to be there to talk over the music. But I digress. Music was fantastic. Gotta drive up to the UP tomorrow so can't see night 2. Judging by the songs not played it's gonna be tight

I saw the same type of crowd response in Cleveland. There were a lot of people there that just stood there, no dancing or singing, as if they had just wandered into the theater not knowing what to expect. It was such a different vibe then the Athens show where the venue was filled with super fans from top to bottom. I guess the new exposure is a good thing, but it makes for a very different live experience.

The first half of the set was a bit blurry for me, but I'm 99% sure the set ended like...

Steam Engine
Only Memories Remain
Off the Record
Phone Went West
--
Hopefully (Jim solo)
Victory Dance
Gideon
Touch Me Part 2
Mahgeetah


And yeah the crowd was super boring unfortunately.

This was only my third show, and first in four years. First time seeing them indoors. My god. Like I said the crowd was really lame, at least on the balcony. There was hardly anyone up there and EVERYONE was sitting down the whole show. Didn't let it discourage me too much though. First half of the show had very little jamming - I remember Lowdown was super short and crunchy.

The second half just blew the roof off though. Steam Engine went straight into Only Memories, it was beautiful. And the encore was insane. Never thought I'd get Hopefully, and Victory Dance will always be one of my favorite. I thought Gideon was gonna close. Then I thought for sure Touch Me was gonna close. Then Jim picks the guitar back up at the end, and starts noodlin around before Good Intentions. Then "okay, cool" STRAIGHT into that crunch Mahgeetah riff. So great, can't wait for tonight.

Was anybody in the pit for the MMJ/Wilco/Dylan show a couple years ago? There were around 30 people in the pit definitely there for MMJ and Jim James was basically playing to us as we were all raging, it was fucking awesome. When you've got a high energy crowd, there's an energy that's gonna get absorbed by the band and they're gonna feed it back to us.

I was back at the seats for that show and definitely noticed the higher energy from Jim from the start. I felt like this show built momentum. It wasn't til It Beats that they really caught their stride.
