I was at Lockn this weekend. I know this isn't news at this point, but MMJ killed it. I saw them this year in Raleigh and it was like two different bands. So much energy. I had been listening to so much music up to that point and it gets hard to reach the big highs as the night goes on. But as soon as Victory Dance ended I involuntarily slapped the strangers back next to me and said "now this concert is actually starting!" Really need this video through payment or otherwise. Thank you MMJ!!

Great photo above.

I listened to https://archives.org/details/mmj2016-08-27

And after listening to a good part of the show, I agree with myself that Bo was insane......during Could You Be Loved, Touch Me Part 2, and Steam for examples.

Interesting catch.  Yes it sounds just like that.  I don't think it's played like that normally (at least not like that on the live versions of WC I have in my phone)

i may have been a little too buzzed at that hour on my couch but it almost looked like jim gave a wtf look as he/they were SO in the zone that whole show..

I'M AMAZED that barely two days after the show, we've got two PRIMO audience recordings and a webcast rip. Thanks so much everyone! Still can't tell which recording I like better -- they're all great! The stereo separation is nice on the stream rip but the CM recording packs a serious punch that takes me right back to that magical field in Arrington. Think I'll keep 'em all in the rotation!

Agreed! We are very lucky to have access to so much and very lucky there are still great tapers out there!! :)
I am loving the archive.org version currently but will make my way through them all.

Also, is that webcast rip out there now?

[RobRoy286]

Holy hogs...

That was the best Jacket show I've ever seen (Bonnaroo 2011, Detroit 2011, Detroit 2015, Red Rocks 2016, Lockn').

Unbelievable seeing them in a jam band festival environment. I think they made a lot of new fans. I was with a group of Phish/Umphrey's fans, and they all came out of the weekend saying Jacket was their favorite set.

I think I'd take Victory Dance opening every show. Compound Fracture and Off the Record were both SO rockin.  Maybe hard to tell from a casual listener, but being there, it just felt different right away. They JAMMED. Best Steam I've ever heard, and maybe the best Phone too. I will never forget the feeling of seeing Jacket absolutely shred in the middle of a field, with such a huge stage setup. Unforgettable.

Just wow.

It was a super sad and lonely night for me to begin with until friend reminded me about the webcast at the last minute.  My night was instantly turned into something more akin to Victory Dance.  I was just coming off of being at Pearl Jam at Wrigley and Fenway and tried not to set my expectations too high.  Boy, was I wrong. 

A one man one webcast party blew my mind and elevated me to a place where I was once again in touch with the music of the spheres...

Thank you MMJ.

BAM!

I'm KeepVid'ing the shit out of this!

Getting goosebumps reading everyone's comments...

I've finally come back to reality from my weekend at Lockn.  I will first off admit that I am now a Phish fan.  I never really gave their music a listen before the weekend, and they still blew me away.  That being said, as Saturday night approached, I started getting worried that the Phish masses weren't going to stick around or appreciate Jacket's set.  From my perspective, there really were not too many Jacket fans there. In the end, my anxiety was unfounded...I can attest several dozen random Phish fans that approached me after the show (was wearing my Jim James kimono replica) and said that their minds had been blown.  At one point, a guy next to me turned to his friend and I said "I have never heard this band before, and they are f***ing killing it right now!" - not something you expect to hear from too many folks after 2.5 long days of incredible music.  I learned that Phish fans pride themselves on being harsh critics.

I went with 4 Phish fans, all of which were excited to show me a good time for my first Phish show.  I think they felt obligated to watch MMJ out of respect to me.  However, they didn't get in close to the stage with me, but stayed and watched the whole set.  When I met back up with them, they were all holding their hands on their head with eyes wide, pondering what they had just experienced and why they had waited so long to do so.

The setlist was just banger after banger.  We got extended cuts on every song, and new/improved jam sections on most songs.  Best I've heard Jim's voice in some time.  The moment I felt the crowd was finally ready to admit their new found love was during "Could You Be Loved" - just wow...I turned around and watched the masses.  The energy was incredible.

Long story short, the band definitely gained several thousand, very intelligent, new fans from a Phish community that is extremely dedicated to their music.  This can only be a good thing.

any word on getting the video? i see a torrent on Dime, but they are super annoying with their user rights and one can't just join without a lot of hoopla.

BAM!

YES!!!  Thank you!

[DireWolf]

Thanks!!

Thanks for having us! I've listened to Jacket's albums for a long time, but never went out of my way to see them live - so I was really interested in what they were going to do. I'll definitely be jumping on the bandwagon next time they tour. Hope they keep bringing the heat!
