Avalon show

[matt freitas]

Here is a setlist to another magnificient show last night. Middle of the set maybe a little out of order because at that point my mind was completely in it. Just one thing with the starry strewn backdrop was unreal, it should be that songs permannent backdrop. I also always forget how beautiful golden is when it is performed live. Thanks again for another perfect evening.

Please tell me someone out there taped this show (Avalon Boston 10.15.05)?!?!

It was an incredible show. I'd love to hear it again if possible.

I'd be open to a snail-mail trade or B&P. I've got some Boston area Wilco shows to trade if you're interested. I didn't feel like lugging my recording rig to the show last night, and now I regret it.

Thx.

hey its matt the original poster, i forgot to ask because i did not see any rigs either however, i was on the floor so i did not have the best view. It looked like their was a camera setup on the soundboard which was on top the balcony. Does anyone know what that was for? Dare i suggest potential dvd?


If i do come across a copy ill let you know.

Thanks, Matt. Just shoot me an email if you come across a recording of this show out on the net.

And thanks for the set list.

that's a pretty cool site man.  yea, the show was by far one of the best mmj shows i have seen and the sound was great.  i hate that they end so early, but it was good and i was wasted by then anyways.  kind of glad there was no acoustic songs as they were jamming.  where the heck was Fanatic?  i looked for you man but didn't see anyone with a peg-leg or crutches or wheelchair.  hope you made it.  hope this show does end up online sometime.  kathleen edwards, thanks for playing so little. :-/ nah, she was ok.  peace.

Kathleen Edwards was excellent. Very impressed.

[mickshrimpton]

Kathleen Edwards is the real deal. She and her band played an outstanding opening set (especially given the fact she went on before 7 pm). I've seen her several times and she keeps getting better and better. She's also been known to play an AC/DC cover or 2, which only gives her even more cred in my book.  Check out her albums...you'll hear a really talented young songwriter who also knows how to rock out live. And her band is ridiculously good.

Great Show! New songs sounded great. This was my 1st MMJ show and i was shocked how hard they rock. Run thru, and dondante were the highlights.

[mackhazel]

As far as the songlist goes, the second or third song in the encore was I want to make it with you by Bread - unbelivable cover of a beautiful David Gates song.

man, this show was amazing, these guys just keep getting better. i was hopin for some more TN Fire and At Dawn, but i've never left mmj feelin disappointed.

the Just One Thing was really nice to hear in the encore and the Gideon-One Big Holdiday-O-The Way He Sings stretch was amazing

run thru took no prisoners


got myself a new t-shirt and i'm pumped to see this was taped, hope it ends up on BT soon.

can't wait til the spring after europe, hope they come around again and play some more old stuff after the initial Z frenzy wears off a bit

Super!  Thanks.

If we could only make the unitiated read all these killer reviews.

[gitfiddle]

any word on the taping of this wonderful show?

[synapticblur]

I'm usually not that big a fan of Avalon, but they did a hell of a job there.  When they opened for Doves back in the day, the sounded great at Avalon too.

Their show at Paradise didn't do them as much good.  

I had a hell of a time sippin booker's from my flask the whole time. :P
