Detroit Show Oct 4th Anyone going?

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

the energy is going to rock at this show crowd wise for sure.  even with this many people that into it, it's going to spread like wild fire once the show starts.  I seriously can't fucking wait for saturday to get here soon enough.  can't believe it's actually here almost finally.   I hope they're ready for a rowdy crowd I have a feeling it's going to be very.. intense.  hopefully I won't have a voice from screaming "you fucking rock" or "fuck yes" after every song, I might just start screaming bloody murder inbetween.  fuck it, time to rock out is coming up finally.  mmmmmm my morning jacket.

Just so people are aware, Jay-Z is doing a free Obama Benefit show Saturday night at Cobo.  Thank god it's not at the Fox!  I imagine this could affect traffic a little bit.

I'll be coming up from London ontario with a buddy, can't wait haven't seen mmj since Lolla 07' and I love the state/fillmore great venue.

should be a great show, anyone know if it's sold out.  I checked about a month ago and there seemed like lots of tickets still available

Ok so quick question...Am I allowed to bring binoculars in if I want to? And is my girlfriend allowed to bring in a purse...I was going to try and sneak in some special cookies, just wondering how hard it is gonna be.

Does this mean we'll be seeing you Detroit?

Good luck.  In my experience, it depends on how lazy the security people are.  Sometimes its no problem to get anything in, other times, its impossible.  It all depends on the person who checks you.

Another heads up!  Robin Williams is at the Fox Theatre tomorrow night.  If you don't know, the Fox is right next to the State Theatre.  Hooray for traffic and parking!

That is fucking awesome.

Since it looks like theres a good chance that I won't be getting anymore sleep before the show.  Yes, I know its tomorrow night but I'm going to Oktoberfest this evening, then working all night, then we'll see if I'm able to get to sleep tomorrow morning for a few hours before heading down to get in line.  

I'll be there with my little sister and a friend of mine.  

I wear a Slayer shirt with this on it:


I respond to James.  Feel free to introduce yourselves!

[Agent Cooper]

Hot diggity! MMJ, Jay-Z, Robin Williams all in similar proximity. Parking is gonna be hell. But who cares! I have had these lovely tix for 5-6 months now and I just can't take it anymore!

Travel safe all, and see ya at the show! 8-)

P.S. Thanks Sticky for the Sigur Ros review. I am jealous! They played in Grand Rapids last year at Calvin College, which is a tiny venue, but I didn't get to go then either. Soon I hope. Cheers.

[ms. yvon]

see you all tomorrow!

Carrie Underwood will be at Joe Louis too.

Parking will suck. Head out early, if possible. Save yourself the frustration.

[getinthevan]

At least theres no Tigers game, or Lions game.  Then it would be an absolute nightmare!

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

so it's finally here.  I'm anxious to jam!! can't wait.

The new songs sounded great, especially (I'm surprised to be saying this) Scream Pt. 1 and Highly Suspicious. The Way That He Sings, Mahgeetah, Dondante, Cobra and One Big Holiday were abnormally amazing. Jim's singing was unreal.

[getinthevan]

Damn!  What a show, especially the second half!  Just when I thought there was no way they had time to play Cobra, Bam! Cobra!

Met The Dude and Ms. Yvon in line, then talked to Ms. Yvon for a bit after the show.  Met some drunk Canadian's who bought us fries.  Met all sorts of people, there's such wonderful people that go to these shows!  

The poster was sweet!  A mother bear guarding two cubs and flying off the opposite side appears to be a predator of some sort.  I'll try to get a picture tomorrow.

There was a taper, he said he's going to put the recording up online.  Archive maybe?  I was hearing things very well at that point.

More on the show when I'm not exhausted.

oh man what an amazingly fun time tonight was.  we had a decent spot.  I am still a little in awe of what I just witnessed.  not sure how the set compares to the other recent ones since I'm been avoiding it but I was thoroughly satisfied.  The Band was on fire, they seemed to really be enjoying it.  the audience was rad.  I was spazzing the whole time and kept stepping on this dudes toes that was behind me (if you're reading this dude, sorry again).   it was just a well balanced show.  they seemed like they were getting the fuck down like no other.  Dondante.  That's all I have to say.  That shit was in-sane.  it broke into a crazy f'n jam and it was almost like "how are they going to get out of this it sounds so fucking crazy and rockin" but they did get out of it, it was wonderful.  Run Thru was such a surprise.  I don't know why I wasn't expecting it.  I figured it was the end since it was touch me part 2 but right after the scream an explosion of drums and sound directly into run thru.  you could feel and see the whole floor instantly shift forward towards the stage almost get pulled by it's bad assness.
Cobra, what can I say.  I was hoping to catch this or War Begun and let me tell you the Cobra is what's up.  that shit is the funkiest break it down, dance and stomp on it shit even and then the explosion is just amazing.  They RIPPED apart One Big Holiday, Carl was on fire.  Patrick was RIPPING part the drums all night long, this was my 5th show I've seen them and by far the best.  it was just a superb performance.  and again the crowd was probably one of my favorite of any show I've ever been at.  everyone is so friendly and awesome at jacket shows.  

Dude who got kicked out early for smoking a joint, that fuck sucks so bad I felt your pain as security took you away.  they have to get paid a bonus for every person they bust.  pop on some ratm, get pissed, and get pay back.  fuck that security.  

amazing show, I'd love to hear how people compare it to other shows this tour.  Jim was talkative as hell, they all looked happy from the best I could tell.  best band around right now.  inspire people my morning jacket, inspire them all.  I just saw a anti-drug commerical for acid, wtf? when was acid a problem.  a revolution is a brewin'.  show fucking rocked so hard.  the cape is fucking rad.

Great review sticky!That was a bummer about the dude getting thrown out.Jeeze I swear it was easier to smoke at shows in the 80's than it is now.Unfortunately as a society we've digressed.At a show in Tennessee a few years back there were police dressed like swat teams ripping through the crowd with clubs and face shields.It was a Bob Dylan Willie Nelson show which is typically a pretty peaceful crowd.Ridiculous
