Roll Call NYC 11/24-11/25 Beacon Theatre

Not a great show tonight..

Based on the setlist or were you in the building too? It does seem like it could've been a low energy show with its fair share of slow/deep cuts.

But, based on the setlist alone I would consider it a special show with just Librarian, Honest Man and Remnants being played. And the encore looked to be pretty kick ass. It's likely that many fans will consider this an epic show with such a smattering of seldom played easy going tunes. If the crowd cooperated I could certainly go along with this notion.

Hope everyone went home more than satisfied.

I was there... Show was just too slow, they were losing people quickly. It was my 10th MMJ show and in my opinion easily the worst. I know it's not going to be a popular opinion but I just being brutally honest.

Show never got off the ground. Too many great tunes left out of last night's show now that I see what's left. Ugh... Disappointed!

[crooney]

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but that was a smoking show.  rolin back, how do you know, honest man, twilight...slow?  not so sure.

I get it. Hope your going tonight also and it more than makes up for it.

I thought that was a fantastic show. I didn't feel it was any "slower" than say Tuesday night, and think the show absolutely did get off the ground. The meat of the show was rocking and I just think at times you had to pay attention. To be honest there were a lot of great songs but then take a song like "memories". When that started i kinda rolled my eyes but being in the first few rows I just didn't want to be a douche and take off to pee or something. I'm glad I didn't because they turned the almost laughable song into a monster with their playing. I was pleasantly surprised. Another new slower one, like a river, I thought had the crowd really into it. I was surprised how many people around me liked that song and sang the "ahhh ahhhh ahh ohhhhh ohhh" parts. It seemed like people were really into the "feel" of that song. I'm just focusing on the some of the slower stuff because I thought it worked great and there was indeed a lot of ragers sprinkled throughout, some great extended jamming and a smokin encore.

Can't wait for tonight.

I think I'd be like, "What... oh YES" with high fives all around multiple times when some of those songs started up.  Those were some amazing ones selected for night three.  Sure Day Is Coming isn't their best, and Memories can be a bit of a drag on momentum.  But overall that show looks incredible.  The Waterfall songs too!  I wish I was there.

I was going to write a list of songs still on the table, but thanks for doing the work for me.  A lot of great stuff for tonight!!  Have fun everyone.  And report back.

that image is my least favorite of the 3 so far.  Is that a foil edition next to it?  have they had them every night?  I am also happy that a bunch of the songs i want to hear are on the table for tomorrow night.  So excited.

Yup, 10-20 foils everynight for $100, $25 for the standard prints.

You hit the nail on the head. That's exactly how my reactions went last night as well as many around me.

Another thing that can't be overlooked is the actual quality of each song played. They are peaking, and each song is as well played as I've ever seen them performed. Fucking perfection!

I can't even count how many times this run I've said " that was the best (fill in the blank) I've  ever seen" Just amazing! I just hope they really are recording this and we get some type of official release.

That was definitely my least fave of the three so far. Not a knock on how they played, just personal song preference. A lot of songs that I'd skip when listening in the car or something. Oh well, it happens.

[rolliefingers]

the day is coming jam was one of the most incredible things my ears have ever heard....they turned that song into a classic last night

[Dangles]

Honestly it definitely was slow, but I liked it.

Finally getting to hear Rollin Back was so awesome.

It was my buddies first MMJ show and he had a blast...though the acoustic start definitely was not ideal for a newbie.

Last thing - I love Memories live. Beautiful jam.

[dookie shoot bandit]

To each his own I suppose...
I'm super jealous that I missed last night.
Honest man
Lowdown
Librarian
Lay low
Remnants
Rollin back
The right place
Etc... Etc...
Crazzzyyy set list!!

The only negative thing I can think of about the set, is closing with I'm amazed. But everything before that is pure magic.

[dexter]

That memories jam was pretty awesome. Who knew?

I guess a lot of people hate day is coming, hence they didn't like the show based on that one song? I don't get it. Love that tune and last night was so good.

i'm looking for a single ticket for tonight.  saw the first three and need to see the finale!!  have people seen prices come down on stubhub as showtime approaches?  anyone have luck buying tickets outside the venue?  thx for any info, have fun all!!

[Stevie]

That setlist is unreal!!!  Ive been to 35 Jacket shows and for those of you who didnt like the set because it lacked the heavy hitters or something...just go to any other jacket show and you will get that.  THAT setlist was for the guys like me who have been waiting a long long time for those old gems to resurface....except i was at home in Wisconsin lol.  I think Night 3 could be better than Night 1 just because some of those songs are so unexpected.

Yesterday they did, but not other days.  There are so few tickets available on StubHub for tonight - it is looking bleak.

[rolliefingers]

i got 2 tix at the box office at 745 pm for yesterdays show.......in the 12th row of the orchestra! 

people are selling outside and I've been monitoring stub hub from 7-8pm.....the prices really didn't drop at all for yesterday but they did on weds.......what sucks is that stub hub stops selling tix for that nights show at 8 pm......there were a bunch of tix still for sale at that point.... wonder if those tix wind up in the scalpers hands from 8-9 pm (showtime)....where do unsold stub hub tix go to die? lol

Don't get me wrong I was excited that the Beacon shows were going to be deep cuts, but last night was just a little too deep in my opinion, like another post said started slowly and never really got off the ground. I think the first two nights had a nice balance of deep cuts, mellow and standard mmj tunes.. Last night was very one directional, again just my opinion

They go back to the sellers as unsold. A lot of people often post tickets looking for a home run sale price, if they don't sell they just go themselves.

[rolliefingers]

stub hub should have an ebay-type timer to let you know how long tix will be for sale......its honestly scary waiting out for deals and not knowing exactly how long you will have until they aren't for sale anymore.
