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.

That would hinder their business, same way they do not let you submit offers to the seller, same way they eliminated showing you how many tickets are left. Their goal is for you to buy them now, not wait for a deal. For what it's worth, it looks like there are about 30 tickets left for tonight.

Tickets are removed automatically once the time listed on the ticket hits... So 8 PM for tonight

I understand the momentum/setlist flow discussion. At the end of the day, MMJ's early catalogue has a lot of slower tunes, and so to pull off no repeats over 4 nights, there are going to be some slower runs. The only alternative is really shorter shows with less songs overall, or else playing a few staples as repeats over the run. I much prefer what we are getting.

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.

Yes, Night 3 was the best setlist I've seen since 2012. or maybe since T5.

This board is hilarious. If MMJ hadn't played Remnants twice already (at Philly and Boston) everyone would be freaking out and going "Show of the century!" or "Oh my god! Fucking Remnants!" but since they already tried it out, people just go "meh." It's the same deal as Red Rocks, where MMJ put on a freaking amazing, mindblowing 3+ hour set and everyone just complained that they "didn't play enough deep cuts" and "it wsan't special because they tried out that run of songs earlier in the tour." This time around it's "they played too many deep cuts." There is no pleasing this crowd. Good grief.

MOWJO8185 · Nov 28, 2015, 03:00 PM

I think there were maybe 2 people that said anything like that.

danimal · Nov 28, 2015, 03:33 PM

Sorry to generalize and pigeonhole the complainers, don't mean to keep them down too much - It's just my opinion that MMJ has played some amazing shows this year that I have attended (Red Rocks and Shrine/LA) and basically everyone just com;ained about the setlists not being varied or "special" enough. Then I see a crazy, deep-cut filled setlist pop up like last night's and I mostly see complaints again. It just seems like this band can't win with 70% of the fans on this board.

dookie shoot bandit · Nov 28, 2015, 03:50 PM

It is all based on expectations.
If you go in there expected to get all deep cuts, or if your a newer fan and expect the greatest hits and the waterfall, you may get let down.
We have discussed this on many seperate threads.
If you go in with an open mind and just enjoy and appreciate the "music"
You will leave so much happier.
Sure on the way home u may think, I wish they played this or I wish they played that... But just be grateful for what you did get to hear.
This Beacon run will be some where around 92 songs in 4 nights. Unless you went to every night? They are not going to please everyone.
Just enjoy the show and the music... Tonight will be the last time we see them until next summer (maybe?)... I'm not taking tonight for granted, and want to enjoy it for everything it is

A lot of interesting opinions coming out. To those of you that went you are truly lucky. Everyone have fun tonight!

powers29 · Nov 28, 2015, 04:51 PM

I'm still glad I went, playing was great, but like I said it's just personal song preference. Whether it's a deep cut, rarity, staple, or rocker, there are some songs I just don't care for, and some were played. Like I said, oh well, it happens, and I'm looking forward to the next time I get to see them.

tippitoes22 · Nov 28, 2015, 05:47 PM

Everyone should feel lucky to be there. Seems like the only complaints are coming from, for lack of a better term, "Waterfall'ers".
You're gettin gems!

Just one guys opinion,

powers29 · Nov 28, 2015, 06:53 PM

Not quite. Been listening to them for ten years. Not sure why it's hard to believe people like some songs better than others.

Kinda arrogant to presumptuously equate post count with tenure as a fan, don't you think?

Glad you're with us at this late/early hour!

Hell yeah I am! :) If you can't be there, the next best thing is to "hangout" with you fine folks here (and drooling on my keyboard over the setlists updates...)

No live audio popping up on Twitter yet. Nothing on Facebook either...

Major bummer! Fingers crossed.

Crap. Well at least we have someone kind enough to give live set list updates on http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/my-morning-jacket/2015/beacon-theatre-new-york-ny-1bf2ad78.html
