Stubb's was the first date night for my wife and I after our oldest was born. She just started 7th grade and now I feel old.

I love checking this thread! Random tour dates come to life when reading everyone's cool stories about their show experiences.

I agree... this has been such a fun thread to check out during this live music DROUGHT!

Ahh man I'm glad you do because I had a nice little story I wanted to post a couple of days ago about my first forum get together at a show. It was at Champlain Valley Lawn in Burlington, VT on 08/20/2010

There were quite a few Jersey Jacket fans on this board back then and several of us decided to meet up at this show. We get there and look around wondering where the hell is everyone? It was way undersold and they ended up putting Grace Potter on the bill to help sell tix.

After her set, I take our poster tubes back to the truck and on my way out there's groups of people leaving.  I asked them where are you going and they all said, we saw who we came to see and aren't interested in MMJ!    I was stunned but managed to tell them..BIG mistake, I mean REALLY BIG!

That night's show has to be without a doubt the most underrated Jacket show I've ever seen. It's hardly talked about (no surprise since there honestly was maybe 1,000 people there on that big lawn) and I often wonder if those who left ever realized what they missed? It was an amazing show with a kick ass face melting setlist that was well worth the drive up from Jersey.

Check out the setlist on the archive here when you get a chance. It was packed with great tunes including Mahgeetah, Honest Man, Carried Away, The Way He Sings, Dondante, Steam Engine and a lot more.

We still get a kick out of some classic stories from that meetup when we get together at shows now, and I still shake my head knowing all those Grace fans missed an incredible show.

By far the best taping I've been to. So much electricity in the studio that night. The poster hangs over my desk and I still think his nose looks like a dick. Ha!

listening to the 2006 Glasgow show right now. Decent recording so far.

you're right, fixed! had this archived on the 28th but it was 27th

[MPP]

That was a superfun Saturday at Lockn.  Enjoyed my first Phil Lesh gig, Tedeschi Trucks Band was good too. 

But MMJ blew that lineup away that night.  After 10 hours of jammy, Victory Dance felt like a thunderbolt of energy.  Awesome setlist too.

My 5th show.  Really unique setlist w/maybe the best pound for pound encore I've seen. They played almost everything off of Evil Urges, 12 out of the 13 album songs (Thank You Too being the only exception) and 11 of those were smack dab in the middle of the main set!!!

I still distinctly remember Remanants followed by Aluminum Park standing out as big heavy hitters in an atypically laid back first set.

Setlist

1. Anytime
2. Off the Record
3. Gideon
4. Evil Urges
5. Touch Me I'm Going to Scream Pt. 1
6. The Way That He Sings
7. I'm Amazed
8. Thank You Too!
9. Evelyn Is Not Real
10. Two Halves
11. Sec Walkin
12. War Begun
13. Lay Low
14. Remnants
