Thanks for the link. Kudos to the taper, nice capture and a quick turn around.

[AlwxanderD10]

Missed it last night, hope somebody was able
to capture the stream !

[Shug]

How 'bout that jammed ending to What The World Needs Now?  I love Jim's sincerity and I love Burt Bacharach's songwriting, a pop genius.

OK, just arrived home from a great night.

Having been to OBH 1 & 2, Red Rocks 2015 & 2016, Lewiston, Merriweather and a few others I cannot necessary recall right now - very tired and hoarse - last night was by far the BEST single night I have ever seen! 

That set list was insane and they turned it up way, way past 11.

I have to imagine that all who were not too familiar with them were in complete and utter awe - I was and still am.

It was the kind that you read about.

A great big thank you! 

[raheuer]

Man, I hope this bodes well for Hulaween! What a set list, holy smokes.

I normally don't go to festivals, but to m it was huge and very open with lots of lots of space to move about.  We went in for Phil and part of TTB and were immediately behind the sound board.  We went back out to our tent to grill up some food, etc. and then arrived back in about 5 minutes before MMJ started.  We were able to easily get to about what I would say was 1/2 way between the stage and the sound board in front of Carl without any problem.

The vendors, beer and bathrooms were a bit of a hike from the stage, but once we were in front of Carl, there was no way we were moving.

Longtime lurker here. I love MMJ, but I also love Phish and other bands that value a great love performance. What I saw yesterday from MMJ might have been the best show I've ever seen. It's up there. I was like 8-10 people back from Carl. Mind blown. Might need to make it to Hulaween and give them all my money.

[Stevie]

I'm a little worried about phish heads that never gave them a chance, but were forced to go tonight as their band was playing Friday and Sunday and we're just "there" suddenly getting hooked and making our shows that much more crowded. Obviously I'm sorta kidding, with music, the more the merrier, but maybe not totally kidding.

My experience with Phish heads has taught me that the ones that are super into Phish will probably never get into Jacket just because they scoff at the notion that anyone else is really worth their time.  Plus, Jacket doesn't really jam the way Phish does so it is destined for failure.  I could see us getting some of their more casual fans, though. 

Not to worry, though, I have noticed that MMJs tends to suck in the "good kind" of people and filter out the BS.

You should look at a Phish forum. That show converted a lot of people. I guess it took MMJ playing a festival with Phish for them to notice... You'll get the good guys who are into music not just the Phish "scene."

THE JACKET ARE BACK!!!!! 

[slappymoe]

gary clark jr was great, can't wait to see him in mexico.

he'll make a perfect headliner for MMJ's night off.

[oistheone]

That was it. That was the best Jacket show I've ever seen.

MMJ's headlining set at Lockn was the musical equivalent of a home run derby. Banger, after banger, after banger. I've seen them a LOT over the last decade, but this set was unlike any MMJ show I've ever seen. There were no dark or quiet moments to be found, just a pedal-to-the-medal 140-minute dance party that soared past their curfew and kept going to damn near 1AM.   

On top of what seemed like the most powerful versions of each song I've ever heard, it was the very unexpected covers shot the energy into the stratosphere. "What the World Needs Now..." was pure saccharine joy. And they probably made a couple thousand new fans with that "Phone"/"Could You Be Loved" transition alone. But when they tore into "Rebel Rebel", the place just about exploded. Or maybe it just looked that way because of that juiced-up, fucking HUGE lighting rig.

If they ever return to Lockn, I urge everyone to go -- great festival and great crowd. SO WORTH the drive from Toronto! Before the show started, my girlfriend and I started talking with a guy next to us. He was contemplating heading back to his tent after Tedeschi-Trucks, and we urged him to stay, basically telling him he'd be making the biggest mistake of his life if he missed this set.

He turned to me after every song, making this face:



We'll be seeing him at a show again soon.

[LBSUNFLWR]

Nice!!

[dexter]

crazy how many people that have been seeing them for a long time on here are calling lockn the best show ever.  this band has had so many great shows and moments and a lot of times they have different feels.  but even at home on the stream by myself the energy and the FEEL of that performance came through loud and clear.  when im home watching a stream i tend to be over critical, its just different sitting on the couch than being there.  but i got none of that for this set.  and i wasnt able to sit on my couch either. 

they crushed it

[APR]

They certainly crushed it as they always do.

I was standing near a couple who had never seen MMJ before, and they were going bananas pretty much the whole night.  A few others didn't know AEIOU when it started, but when I turned around and saw them it was clear that they were totally digging it. 

I was on Jim's side of the stage (therefore probably more in tune with Jim and Bo and watching/hearing them more), and from my perspective he and Bo seemed to be on fire the entire night.  The keys were right up there in the mix and were so awesome for the Marley tune.  What the World Needs Now worked so well and then they went into the ripping guitar jam.  Sooooo good.

As great as many of the slower songs are, I liked the set without any of them.  It was non stop rock with great smooth, flow right into the covers.  I was totally surprised to hear new covers thinking that the band have not been together this summer to work up anything new.  But obviously they found time to rehearse and learn those songs.......total pros that love music and challenging themselves.

Greatest band.  It's hard to say which show is the greatest show because the most recent one usually is.  I thought Steam and Part 2 were unusually stellar versions.   But in reality all their shows are at such a high level that there isn't much difference between them.

I hope the stream is viewable because I'd like to see the show again.
