Myrtle Beach Discussion!

[zrobbins]

Noob here. Went to the Myrtle Beach show with 7 others who have never seen MMJ before and we all walked out absolutely blown away. Fantastic setlist and performance. I really enjoyed War Begun, Dondante, Gideon, Evelyn, Magheetah, and Touch Me Pt 2.

Got a few pictures on my cell phone.  The full stage shots did not come out at all, but here are some of Jim James:

I was real close to you and Grinderman.Was grinderman the dude that snuck in the camera under his shirt?My g/f asked some guy how he got it by security and that's what he said. I was going to try and do that but was worried if they found it I would lose my place in line.

Great pics,thanks for posting them.

And yeah,the crash the barricade tickets were not needed if you really wanted to be up front.I saw plenty of folks push their way through.

Hopefully this is not the last MMJ show I will see, but if it was, I couldn't be happier.  Front row (Jim/Bo's side), Cobra, an amazing set all the way around, great friends, new fans, old fans, perfectly dreamy in all the right places, and then rocked into a frenzy.  They just do put on a perfect show.  I love those guys and I'll never forget this one.  Thanks to everyone, the band and all those behind the scenes and your sweet kindnesses...and Mike if you're out there reading..sorry about my air-brain in the elevator. :-)

What a great show this was!   It's funny because I think I was standing besides a bunch of you guys.  I think I was standing right next to a guy with a twins shirt at some point so that must have been jellyfish.  I was right up front as well, and had a great time.  

I agree the sound was a little muddy on some songs, but they still just put on an amazing concert.

Hey guys TF here, I too was at the Myrtle Beach show as well. I have to say it was an awesome show. I was right down front for the first half of the show, and it sounded....not very good. I decided to relinquish my place to go get a drink. I didn't feel like making my way back down through all the people, so I took up a spot directly behind the sound board, and ya know what? It sounded GREAT! Any idea at all on how this could happen? I just thought, the closer I am to the stage, the better it is going to sound, right? Anyway, it still rocked!

This is my first time posting here but does anyone know if there were tapers at this show?  I was right up front with alot of you guys right in front of Jim.  My girlfriend was a librarian.  She ended up getting the setlist from the band.  It was ser a kick ass show and I cannot fucking wait for New Years.

Hey, Hard Helmet. This is that crazy kid you talked to in the crowd.  ;)

It doesn't appear to have been taped. The security was hard-ass about things being brought in.

I've actually found that a lot of shows sound better when you're a little farther back.  When you're up front, there's a good chance that you're in line with, or even behind the house system.  Plus you're getting more of the sounds from the stage (amps, drums, etc.) and less of the vocals in the PA.  In theory, the sound should be the best near the soundboard because thats what the sound guy is hearing.  

And welcome to the board all you new peoples!

Whats up man! Yeah it was good meeting you guys.  We raged that front section.  That was my second show and have now decided that Ill definitely be hitting up most of the shows around the southeast next tour.  But yeah that makes sense about the security not allowing taping.  I couldnt even bring in my digital camera but maybe someone recorded it stealthily.

Haven't logged in for a while and posting about the show slipped my mind....

Great show, I was real close to the stage right in front of Jim, about three rows of people back. The energy was really high all night and Jim seemed to be really into the crowd. The HOB isn't my favorite venue, but I did the "jump the line" thing and got dinner and great seats for $10. It was so smokey that Jim started coughing during Librarian, which gave him and everyone a good laugh. Me and my buddy had a great time, I got War Begun, EV-O-LYN, and Cobra for the "rare" ones and they were each amazing.
