Bonnaroo 04 recording

[saki]

I've been listening to this one alot lately and I have at least 4 or 5 more complete shows (including toronto opera house 04, and louisville 9/26/03) and it's weird to me that I find that this is my favourite show to listen to.  Because I think the opera house was a better show.  But, still I like the roo 04 show better and I listen to it more.  Unlike alot of you that was my first and only Jacket show.  Maybe it's because it transports me back to that time.  Anyone else feel that way?  Is your favourite show the one you went to first?  

oh yeah and here's some more stuff from listening to that show all the time...

anyone else hear some of this?

Jim James:
"You're a very brave, and a very beautiful gang, and I salute you."

some girl:
"we salute you."  (sarcastically?)



Jim James:  "you guys feel that breeze?"  before track 7 (o is the one that is real)

some dude:  "rain's comin' Jim!"

I can hear myself (i'm pretty sure) goin'  wooooooo!  before the start of lowdown!!  (I'm the first guy, not the second :)) and also someone calls out "lowdown" before they start it.

some guy yells: "medium rare" sometime during the show (I think it's towards the beginning) sorry I can't remember

Some dude yells "Black Sabbath!!!" before the start of "Dancefloors."  

"That feels fuckin' great"

-Jim James (before the start of cobra)  
I believe that is right when it started to get real eery out there with the thunder in the distance and the wind blowing.  It did actually feel really good and it was the coolest feeling the way the air felt.  It was electric!!

This show really is just kinda average accept for the sound quality.  But, the show really gets awesome from cobra to the end...and steam engine is just amazing, brilliant, phenomenal, and everything else!!

"this is return to thunderdome"

:)  i have a few live shows that lovely people have sent to me, but i have to admit that i hardly ever listen.

except for the nashville '04 exit/inn show.

that was my first my morning jacket show, and it was the end of quite a special weekend.  i can remember almost everything about that show (including what people beside me looked like at various points during the show - those are triggered by the songs).  i didn't really know what anybody looked like, so i was AMAZED to see such hairy dudes rocking the hell out of my world.  (for some reason i had thought they would be kind of ... kind of what?  i don't know.  not what i saw.)

i can hear myself shout "yeah!" when jim asked if anybody knew who gillian welch was.  

(i've heard other shows that i've been to, as well, and i can hear my spazzy screams when i know what song's coming and i'm gettin' excited.)

i remember tom heinl and how surprising and wonderful that was.  i remember bobby bare jr and how much i liked him, and i remember thinking certain thoughts throughout the show.

i remember thinking that i was absorbing everything through my chest.  i was so sober.  believe me.

and when i listen to it now, i get all those feelings back, which is really neat.  the amazement of what was happening in my life, the excitement about seeing this humungous force of wonderfulness before me.  all kinds of stuff.

it's nice.  i like it a lot.  :)

funny, too, because it's not the same for the other shows.  i think i've heard the cat's cradle show from last year (or parts of it), and i can't remember if i've heard the birmingham show or, i don't know how ever many shows i saw last year. (i have never in my entire life seen one band as many times as my morning jacket.  unless you count local bands.  i didn't think i had that side of me.)  

i know for sure that i hear myself a few times during the toronto show.  ;)

but yeah.  none of them have the same affect as the first one.   but i definitely don't mean for that to sound like heroin, ie nothing is ever as good as the first time.  because that's not true.  i don't know what it is, but every time i see a show, i feel so great.  like really great, and really happy, and really glad to get to be there.

the end.  jaysus what a fangirl.   :-/

Actually I got my copy from the Bonnaroo website and I don't know how it's possible for them to get a better recording than that one.  But, I'm sure the one CC listed is probably just as good.  Yeah, and I paid for mine so I'm not a criminal ;)  Anyway, I don't know if it's still available for download at the bonaroo website but that's where I got mine from and it sounds perfect!

It's funny the first thing I did when I got home from Bonaroo was buy that album from the website.  I also purchased Del McCoury and Dave Matthews that year.  But, MMJ was the one I still listen to today and I think I lost the other two ;)
