Come Closer Anniversary

[amskinz]

doood can you please please please describe what hearing Come Closer live was like? It IS THEEEE rarity I wanna see more than any other, besides maybe Oxen, please give me details: what guitar did Jim use? any weird effects on it? heavier sound than the recording? longer??

Dood Id say dont you miss one there, it seems the Jacket play a shit ton of rare stuff every time they're in Columbus, you my friend ARE A CHAMP :)

Unfortunately, I'm a drummer, so I can't remember what Jim actually played. Sorry. But it was indeed heavier and longer than the original! We can all hope it doesn't end up being a once in a lifetime experience. Oxen is definitely at the top of my list for the future too!
Magical things seem to happen every so often through the power of this board, so let's all pool our positive energy together for tomorrow's show. Hopefully this stream leads to more in the future (maybe future OBH's???).

i was at this show too, and as awesome as come closer was, i never hear people talk about pat's drum solo during the steam engine closer.

why do they play certain things for soundchecks but not in the show? i dont understand that....Chills is a beautiful song and deserves a couple plugs away at it a tour. nearly every song in their catalog is flawless and we're lucky they've explored a huge portion of it. I think this Friday night is gonna be an insane one for us Jacket fans!!!!!

Friday is going to be nuts.  I'd bet that there will be a rare song or an interesting cover with the lead singer of Sylvan Esso.

They soundchecked Chills at MPP while we were all waiting outside getting checked in for the fan club soundcheck.  These rare songs would be great to hear not for the novelty factor..... but because they are flawless... Come Closer, Weeks Go By Like Days, Just One Thing.

Who knows why they only play Just One Thing at soundchecks, but I'm glad they played it at one I attended.  I too love that song and after 30 shows that was my first time hearing it.  I'm waiting for some incredible personal firsts (Rollin Back....PLEASE!!), but it doesn't make or break a show if songs like that are included.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got the Stir It Up --> Phone Went West --> Could You Be Loved the band did with Amelia at OBH this year.

A heavier longer Come Closer? ???? Oh my god im shaking imagining that! !!

Perhaps keeping a few songs for only soundchecks is a way of making those experiences more special.  They're already intimate affairs, populated by huge fans who'd appreciate the rare track or two.

I didn't even know They were doing soundchecks that you could come to until ...like ...this year!  And it sounds like an amazing experience . It does cause a but of confusion as far as songs played / not played as stuff like Chills hasn't been done since 2010 but they've done it recently a few times at least.  But I guess that's what asterisks are for

Just One Thing at the Milwaukee soundcheck was definitely a highlight for me as it had been so many years since I have heard that live.
