Picture Of You was the highlight of the night for me

[walterfredo]

Was that the first Mercy mercy me and/or America?

Was that the first Mercy mercy me and/or America?

absofruitly that was! Jim had covered America maybe once or twice solo this last year, but the ban had never done it and maaaaaan my girlfriend who absolutely LOVES that song thinks the Jacket did a PERFECT version.

Jim: "it's almost New Year's Eve"

Don't forget what he said next. "Get the Fuck out of here 2017"

[Shug]

Like this one?  Niiiiccce!

Great pic John and it was good to see you again.  

Very cool you got to hang with the guys for a few, and I'm happy for ya. 

[rkwedge]

That is so cool John. So happy to finally meet up with you myself. Same to you Eric, you guys are such My Morning Jacket and forum leaders I was happy to be in your presence. Until next time 

[ericm]

Good to meet you too rk. Sorry we didn't have more time to hang but I'm sure we'll meet up again down the road.

Night 2 won the weekend for me. Greatest show I've ever been to.

I always like hearing fans come away from a show feeling this.   

Me, I've found that over time I've come to look back at a whole run as one long show. Nights 1&2 combined with the encore set of night 3 has definitely put this run right up there with any other for me, save T5. That one is on its own level and not really fair to compare any run to that IMO.

Although I have my fingers crossed they someday decide to do a Beacon residency similar to the Allmans and we can rate one of those years as being on that level. There were years the Allmans played two days on, one off for a whole month! MMJ doing a two week run like that is a dream I want to see become a reality.  🙏 🙏
