MMJ GO UNDER THE SEA FOR A 2 NIGHT PROM IN ATHENS!

[Anu]

The band played a heck of a show but I must be honest.... the sound in the venue was really, really bad.  Durring the first 3 songs, the speakers were crackling probably due to the fact that they busted a speaker or two or three!  There never seemed to be a good mix of the instruments with the vocals and you could hardly make out the words (if you didn't know them already ;) )as the vocals were fuzzy.  

Call me spoiled but after seeing them at the Ryman 2nd row, I do not think anything will ever compare!

I am another spoiled veteran of the Ryman and 'roo, so i pray they get the mix right tonight.

Was it way too crowded?  I'm concerned that I am going to be hot as shit in my tux and the amount of people will multiply the heat.

the 40 watt does a really nice job of not over-selling shows.  every sold-out show that i have been to there has never been overwhelming.  it gets crazy up front, but there is always copious amounts of room to wander around in the back if you get too hot, etc.

looks like last night was crazy.  i hope everyone that was there had a great time.  i'm coming up from augusta tonight & just heard about the "Under the Sea" prom theme a few days ago & was wondering what the deal was with the attire.  are they actually not letting people in who aren't in tuxes or have i misunderstood.

can't wait for tonight it will be the first time i've gotten to see MMJ!

thanks, travis

They will let you in, but most people dressed up.

They will let you in, but most people dressed up.  

yeah, they will let ya in, but i would say 90% of the people there dressed up...which was really cool...also, it does get hot up front, but it is the place to be and def worth it

meg, kory spotted the mics of a taper back by the sound board.  we'll see what surfaces

Yep, the show will probably get posted on digitalpanic.org or archive.org or both in about a week when the taper gets back from vacation. When the sound is shotty though, you can probably blame the drunk prom dates to our right that bumped into the microphone several times last night:-)

But such is life.  Anyway, hey y'all. First time posting here. Those of us that live in Athens sure had fun last night. I would respectfully disagree with the person above though and say that it was not 90% of the folks dressed up, more like 50-60%. Good times.

The show may or may not be taped tonight. It was pretty dodgy back there last night and we'd like to just have a bit more fun tonight and not worry about it.

What are the chances I'll hear my favorite MMJ Prince cover tonight?

[Kory]

Thanks for taping jayne! If me helping in any way gets a tape out of tonight, I'll do what I can but I know it's gotta be hard, thanks for your effort and I look forward to reliving the experience.
Brian was supposed to make it down and tape but I haven't heard from him in weeks...

anyhow, my brother and I have been working on a new website and we've posted pictures from last night with setlists and ticket pictures on there for now, check it out!
Thanks for the setlist yvon!

It was actually not me taping, I was just helping.

I think he's gonna just make a last minute call on tonight. If you do see the mics, and you don't mind helping form a circle around it, that would be great. That would help. And say hi while you're at it.

[Kory]

cool, thanks! I'll stop by tonight, I'll either have a fake plad prom jacket on and a "prom king" sash or I may just be in my louisville tshirt....
have fun!

[putty]

too bad Sloan Simpson wasn't taping it. he's at the 40 watt a lot.

i'll also disagree that it was all out of towners. there were a bunch of us from athens.

can't wait for tonight.

yeah i could be wrong but i was up front and everyone there was dressed up...skewed my perception a lil

[ms. yvon]

kory!!  rad shots!  if i wasn't so ansy to get into town, i'd look at them all.  there is a terrific bo playing/beaming shot.  well done!   :D

[ellisintransit]

Has anyone mentioned the Prom Pictures?  For 5 bucks you could have your picture taken and placed in a screen printed card/photo holder that was personalized for the Prom theme.   And they served cake.  Hehe.

From where I was, against the barricade in front of Jim, the show was the bomb.  Those first few songs with the noise distracted a little, but overall I didn't think the sound was that bad.

I finally got me one of those Jim James #34 guitar picks with the Orangutan from Okonokos on the other side.   Brucie actually handed me two, so I gave one to Kelly and Mark who I met from Philly.  (Hey guys!).

I so wish I could make it to the show tonight, but it wasn't in the cards.  All in all though, an excellent show.

He's one of my best friends. He wanted to come but wasn't feeling well, and the drive from Atlanta can be a bit much some nights. I thought about getting him to put the mp3s up on his site, but there's no point to it really when they can just go on archive.org just as easily (that is, IF MMJ is on there, i think they are).

Hello Friends,

I'm on the computer at the Holiday Inn in Athens.  I did in fact tape the show and it came out pretty nice.  I will post it when I get home.  I met the guy behind the soundboard that had the mics set up.  He said he will post his recording as well.  He is also taping tonight.  

[sweatboard]

If anyone wants to meet up tonight you could pm me your phone digitz and I'll check the computer before we leave tonight.  Annabeth and I will be getting there early tonight.  I will set up my taping equipment and then we will stake out our spot close to the stage.  Athens is amazing what a beautiful day we had here today.  I can't believe all the awesome stores.  I really wish I was rich right now. The selection of Vinyl records in this town is astounding.  I'll post about the show at a later date.  Time to start getting ready!!!!!!  They really went all out on Run Thru and added some new twists.

ahhh! kory! the first picture on there breaks my heart. i am sending you a pm to explain.

[aMD]

so, did they end up playing this magic moment?

You know all I'm interested in is the covers!  ;)

Sounds magical.  I'm jealous of all those who attended.

[Anu]

Tried to sleep but I couldn't sleep.

Got prom night on the brain.

[whothrewthecake]
