Roll Call--Nashville 7/7/17

[SplatSplatSplat]

It was an OK show. Setlist started out pretty crazy and then quickly devolved into a rather bland outing overall, save Just One Thing.  I'm disappointed we got 2 covers even if they were the band basically covering the band (Carried Away, State of the Art) in lieu of War Begun and IWSYS. Especially since they could've probably played 2 or 3 songs in the time it took them to jam out both CA and SotA. All this is not to say i didn't have a great time or that the show was bad, it was far from it. They sounded great, looked to be having a blast, but it just wasn't all that either. I've seen them play better sets and I've seen them play worse. One of those.

Oh and yes, they should absolutely play a different set every night.  It's not even a debate.

Disagree completely. One of my favorite shows I've seen and the band was on fire. As the review put it, I was blissed out completely.

Love to see "senior members" that acknowledge this as being The Truth :)

Eh..may have to agree to disagree as I don't want to be argumentative. I do understand the desire to turn MMJ into the Dead as far as setlist variation but they've really never been that type of band so that could be an unfair criticism. This is coming from someone that has seen them over 35 times.

I do try to critique them on performance and I thought they slayed it in Nashville but if course, that is subjective. Love the mahgheeta opener, just one thing (personal white whale), great wonderful then carried away. Everything after that was just gravy. The pit was eating it up.
