Roll Call - Columbus - August 10

[DaydreamNation]

Kinda glad I skipped this one. I'm sure it was a great show (always is!) but that setlist is almost entirely songs I've already seen at least once this summer

Pretty stoked to get this tape in 2022.

Agreed with Beer.  I had the same experience.  They seemed so in sync and the energy was so reminiscent of 2012.  Its certainly the venue.  Saw them in Cbus in 2015 at the Palace and the vibe was no where near the same.

Probably the highlight of my night was bringing another couple with us for their first show.  They are fans of good music but, until last night, they weren't big MMJ fans.  Had two extra tickets and invited them along.  They were in a state of shock and awe on the drive home.
Was cool to witness that.

Always fun to bring newbies to a MMJ show. You can try and try but you cannot explain this band to someone, they just have to witness it for themselves before they get it. Glad you got two more hooked

I'm not one to complain about setlists, and sure, there are always gonna be songs I want to get at a show and others I'm not as thrilled about when they're played. However, I respect artists talent and right to choose what they want to play on a given night and when I'm at a show, I'm thrilled to be there seeing them perform live.

Having said that, and looking at last nights setlist and seeing (end of) Run Thru instead of a full Run Thru I can't help but be bummed. I can't stand when it's done like that and would prefer a full Run Thru every 4-5 shows than a balls cut off "end of" every show. For me, a big part of what makes that song so amazing is the first part and lead into the ending.

I've seen other bands do similar things with songs and I feel the same way then. Either do the whole thing or not but "part of" never works for me.

OHHHHHH Shit Run, I agree, that song starts with that one guitar note by Carl that is bone chilling and you know immediately what's coming. Do not cut it in half. My first and only "Rollin Back" was a 1:08 intro then cut off into "The Way He Sings" it was like getting kicked in the ....'s

End of Run Thru needs to DIE. That is all.

Brilliant minds......   

I'd certainly prefer the whole song as well.   But...its much better than Steam>OMR>Steam

I don't know about that. I'd definitely prefer Steam straight through but at least with the Steam>OMR>Steam you get the whole Steam.  Just End of Run Thru makes a gelding out of a Stallion IMO.

This was my 8th show (9th? I'd have to do some serious thinking) and I decided to bring my uncle who has great taste in music. He was pretty much unfamiliar with all their material and didn't want to get there too early. We started past the pit area and wound up right in front of Carl after people cleared out in before the encore. He left comparing them to when he saw the Who and the Kinks (his favorite bands) in their prime.

Fully agree.  That being said, of the 5 or 6 I've seen, it was the best (end of) run thru by a wide margin.  Seemed to have a whole other energy
