After the new EP came out, I couldnt help but think of when they played those two nights with the Boston Pops and how awesome that would have sounded. Does anyone have a decent recording of either of these nights?

It never surfaced.  A few board members hinted at possibly getting their hands on it.  If they did, they didn't share.  The only thing I saw from these performances was a handful of crappy youtube videos.

I'm glad you put a ? at the end of that subject line.

My.....well, you know, was aroused!  :-?

I apologize for the false arousal.

I can't believe I didn't go to this. I could have, but I'd just learned about MMJ and tickets were expensive, or something. Still kicking myself.

I do believe Ryan (of recent Candles and Panties fame) records every show live from the soundboard for his own personal collection. A recording, therefore, does exist. Whether anyone beyond the band has gotten their hands on it, that's an entirely different matter. I've not heard anything thus far.

I hate the Drake!  >:(



Actually that was our code word for our useless boss, whenever we felt like complaining about her without using her actual name.

I assume you are not useless (you are a MMJ Fan)

Anyways, the Boston Show was my first MMJ show, I had great seats on the floor, with waitress service and the like.  Run Thru was unfucking believable arguably the best song I ever seen them perform.  

The only problem I had with the concert was Patrick's drums.  For some reason he had to play 80's style electric drums.

   * George: Hate the Drake.
   * Elaine: I *love* the Drake.
   * Jerry: How could you not like the Drake?
   * George: Who's the Drake?
   * Elaine: "Who's the Drake"?
   * Jerry: The Drake is good!

Elaine: Drake gave her the TV?

Jerry: He gave her all the gifts; he felt guilty.

Elaine: Well, she can't keep it, it's not fair, that's *our* TV!

Jerry: I know it is!

Elaine: Boy, I am really starting to dislike the Drake!

Jerry: I hate the Drake! Maybe the whole thing was a scam. Anybody can just get engaged and get
presents and just keep them all. Maybe they're on their way to Chicago tomorrow and do the whole
thing all over again.

Elaine: They don't know anybody in Chicago.

Jerry: Don't worry, they'll make friends fast with that nice TV.

(George enters)

George: Hey.

Jerry: Hey, guess what? The Drake broke up.

George (excited): The Drake broke up?! That's fantastic! Now we get the TV back! It'll help defray
some of the cost of the wheelchair.

Jerry: I don't know about defraying.

George: Why?

Jerry: We're not gettin' that TV.

George: What do you mean? The engagement is off, we get the TV back. That's business.

Elaine: The Drakette took it.

George: She can't take it. It's not hers, it's theirs. Once there's no theirs there's no hers, it
should be ours.

Elaine: Well, she has it!

George (upset): I *told* you the Drake was bad! I hate the Drake!

Good stuff!  It took 100 posts here before someone made that connection.  Good work, sir.

The YouTube is the best we've got, I fear
There may be clearance issues with ever officially releasing it (namely, the Pops would take a HUGE fucking cut), but I could see a Trent Reznor-style "oops" leak happening
