Louisville...

[getinthevan]

Sounds like good times were had by all.  Personally, I like the setlist from Nashville a little better but I have absolutely no doubt that the energy in Louisville was way beyond what it was in Nashville.  I look forward to hearing both these shows.

A mere 24 hours after I left, and Im back home in Philadelphia. Have a ton of great pics from the front row that I will post later, but Im in dire need of a shower and nap. Quick impressions...

-Louisville is a beautiful city. I completely fell in love with it in the short time I was there.
-I cant explain how intense it was. Afterward I felt like I got the crap knocked out of me. We had to sit on a bench outside the venue and drink a few bottles of water before we could go anywhere lol.
-Cobra...Cobra...sweet Jesus, Cobra...
-Special thanks to LoveDog and his friend at Bearno's.  We hung out there before (downtown) and after (Bardstown Rd) the show and had a great time.
-It was great meeting everyone. LoveDog, AngryEwok, ms yvon and everyone else who I know Im forgetting (apologies, but the past 24 hours have been a freaking blur), I look forward meeting up with you sometime in the future. It was a great way to end the night.

I'll have those pics up in a bit..damn...what a whirlwind :D

there were 4 of us recording up front. I listened to it a bit last night and it sounds pretty good. Thanks to those who were polite and went around instead of straight through us. Also nobody tried screaming into the mics! Mine will be up on archive after I get back from Red Rocks. Hopefully the band will notify the venue that taping is ok and I'll try and get a smoking recording there too!

...oh, and here's the finalized setlist that I came up with.  I'm uploading my audio source to the archive now.  It'll run a little longer than usual due to my piss-poor upload speeds.  I'd expect it to be done by this afternoon.

For now, I really should think about going to bed.   ::)

thanks for the setlist. What an awesome night.


My only complaint was the line situation.  The process of getting beers > using the bathroom took upwards of 45 minutes total.  I spent at least an hour of the evening just simply waiting in line.  Finally I realized the better approach was to just quit drinking altogether, quit using the bathroom, and just enjoy the show and go to a bar afterwards.  Other than that, it was a magical night.

[slappymoe]

what a night!

beautiful weather, full moon, incredible show, a joyous time for all.

thanks for the setlist, i needed help putting it all together again in my jacket-addled brain. and finding out that there will be recordings of the show available........that makes me so happy i could cry.  thanks a million for that.

i agree that the only flaw of the evening (aside from abe losing his head) were the lines for both the acquisition and disposal of beer.  same thing for me.....i lost four and a half songs to line-waiting (thank you too - lay low) so i just gave up beer for the rest of the night and dealt with some powerful cotton mouth. ;)

Oh yeah, don't forget the one song (2?) with the horn, sax I believe.  Also, One Big Holiday with the Squallis Puppeteers.

Intro by Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson.

[dupis1013]

this was my 10th show, and by far my favorite. the show was a baptismal of reverb, and funky bass lines (even though one girl beside me complained the entire time about it being too loud). in my opinion, it was nothing short of magical.

my husband got approached by velocity because of his bizarre indian head-dress get up. apparently he's going to be in an issue. everyone was taking pictures with him, and giving him free beer. it was hilarious.  ::)

i do have one complaint, well really two.
the trash after the show was heartbreaking for me. i saw everything from batteries, to old whiskey bottles and abandoned blankets. and a sea of plastic cups. what happened to "going green"? i guess when it comes down to it, people talk the talk, but cant walk the walk.

and the glow sticks. i personally had a blast with them, but i can tell you that the band themselves did not appreciate hoards of glow sticks being chucked at them. they are trying to a put on a monumental show for their home town, and they get pelted by painful glowsticks. seriously, i was up front, center, two rows back, and i saw jim, carl, and tom get hit several times, including in the face. thats pretty immature and shitty in my opinion.

but hope everyone had a blast, and stayed safe. i witnessed two people in front of me over exert themselves and collapse from god knows what. hope these incidents were few and far between.

great show boys, louisville finally got its show. and boy did you bring the house down!! :D

Glowsticks suck period.  The band always end up getting hit with them.  Perhaps if you're on psychedelics or have never been to a music show like this then I can see the novelty of them, but they're pretty annoying if you ask me.  And people don't realize that when you're on stage and you get hit with one of those things, it actually hurts as those things are coming with strong velocity.

As for the trash, yeah some people are just too lazy to throw their shit away which is a dame shame.  But I wouldn't worry too much about about that.  I guarantee a cleaning crew was there first thing this morning and the Waterfront is already back to its pristine state.   8-)

Glad you had a good time.  I definitely saw your husband.

[Penny Lane]

save the glowsticks for the Widespread Panic shows. (although at bonnaroo they were perfect but ONLY at just the right moment in Gideon)!!


i also heard the beer line set up ridiculous, otherwise, sounds like a great show! i heard the mayor introduced the band?

mp3 of Cobra from last night.  Like I said, should be finished uploading this afternoon sometime.  

Enjoy!

[ratchetisfake]

I would agree with that; the same thing happened in Nashville. You can see it on the awesome War Begun clip, Jim gets nailed twice.

They look cool but I wouldn't miss them and I know the band wouldn't either. Plus the logic is odd: Hey, there's a guy on stage pouring his heart and soul out through his music, I think I'll throw something at him...  :-/

yeah, its a fucked up logic. the glow sticks are fun, but throwing them AT the band?? Whats the purpose??
maybe i just have a little more respect for them and their music.
and LowDownLuvDawg, seriously... sober up bud. i jammed out harder than most of the high schoolers that were around me, so me being too old "for glow sticks" is ridic. im only 22.
psssh. ::)

Carl always plays sax on Dondante, so I didn't think it was worth noting here.  Also, the mayor was doing fine until he called the band "Our Morning Jacket"   :-X

Yeah, you're right.

The slip by Mayor Abramson was kind of apropo though as this was a not only a monumental night for the band but also for the city.

And it's real cool that with the $1 in proceeds from each ticket they were able to donate over 10 thousand dollars to the Louisville Center for Women and Families.

maybe he intended to say Our instead of My, inferring it was Louisville's own (maybe?)

Wow what a wonderful gesture. That just made me and my girlfriend feel good. I think it's very important to help those that are a little less fortunate. If only MORE important people were more gracious.. :) :)

[Kapila]

Several things worth noticing:

1.The band is tighter! I've never heard them jam like that on stage before.

2.They really love Fender Twinamps. I saw about 4-5 of them on stage along with some Soldano equipment.

3.Their light show is fucking incredible. I had an intense psychedelic experience when Wordless Chorus hit. Maybe the joints helped that.

4.10,000 people doing drugs worthy of Bonnaroo status. I saw one dude in a jester suit and an accordion. Madness.

5.3-and-a-half hour show. That's Zeppelin status right there.

6.Giant-ass puppets dancing during One Big Holiday

7.People throwing glowsticks high into the air when Jim sang "Oh, this feeling is wonderful" on Touch Me Pt. 2. Beautiful.

Fucking fantastic show, easily the best concert I've ever been to, and I've seen over 30.

Is this he? (snagged from Louisville Courier Journal site)

[Kapila]

Does ANYONE have a recording of this?

[ARoush777]

I've been to over 100 shows of all kinds and this was the greatest show I've ever been to... except for maybe Jacket at Bonnaroo
