Oh I forgot, Remnants was epic...awesome song.

[Ghosts_on_TV]

It was played on Saturday though. Well get it on Wednesday, don't worry. ;)

Oh I forgot, Remnants was epic...awesome song.

Hopefully if they play it on nye it'll get me to like it. It's pretty much the only jacket song I don't really care for.

I agree, Remnants rocked.  But then I like it to begin with.

Nice writeup here:

One thing no one has mentioned yet is Jim connecting with the crowd doing this sweet thumbs up thing. He flashed it once and the crowd returned it.

Later during the intro to Touch me pt 2, Patrick was about to enter and jim waved the band off to do the intro again. when he neared the end he looked up and gave a thumbs up, like asking the crowd, 'does that sound good to you?' everyone cheered and gave a thumbs up and the band entered the song. It was pretty sweet.

God damnit...im even more pissed I moved about 90 days ago from out of distance to go to this show, and had to eat my ticket...

Looks like an awesome show

[ALady]

Welcome to the cult, wlknblu...    ;D

[stevenflow1989]

that's crazy...there are more people that don't care for remnants than that do...that's sad. what a great song.

Excellent two night run.  CARL was on fire all Sunday night. Loved the jams on Off the Record first night as well as Phone went West. Lay Low's were excellent, really like the Remnants and classic closer Run Thru.  All and all second night ranks way up there (12/27 was very solid too)- if anyone saw Milwaukee this fall- that set the bar for me.  ENJOY NYC and MSG!!

anybody want to trade a Night 2 poster for my night 1 poster??

[ALady]

Same poster for both nights, duder.

[kydiddle]

Anyone else have pictures or links to video??

You guys had fantastic sets both nights!

And as for the crowd conversation, I have to agree with ALady and say that you're never going to find a perfect crowd. I think the only reason why someone might think a crowd is 'good' is he/she was lucky enough to not be next to the assholes that night, because you know there are some at every show.

With that said, I can pretty much tolerate any behavior. You feel like sitting? Whatever. I get bumped during your killer dance moves or your drink spills a little? Okay. The one thing I hate is when people yell absolutely ignorant things to whoever is talking on stage. When I went to see Bon Iver a few weeks ago, this guy in the crowd yelled 'I have a man crush on you!' to Justin Vernon. Then a different guy yelled out something about 'your lumberjack chest hair!' It's one thing to yell out a song title or a 'You're awesome', but shit like that really drives me nuts.

I agree...it seems talking is just so prevalent at shows these days.  I don't get it; aside from annoying the fans, it's really disrespectful to the band.  But talking is better than the two jerks I befriended at the Neil Young/Wilco show a couple of weeks ago.  Started out as nice guys...then ended up continually grabbing my backside until my friend intervened.  Ugh.

Word. Sunday was the bomb. I drove from jersey on saturday morning to see the saturday show and had to drive back on Sunday for work today. It was brutal, but oh so worth it. Sunday just rocked on 8,000 levels.

Man, I thought my drive was long! I drove in from Michigan (about a 3 1/2 hr drive) and had to leave after the show cause good ol' work was waiting for me on Monday! I waited with a few other diehards for almost 2 hours for the band to come out. One of the roadies brought out Ponch and the girl bear (for shame I don't know her name) to load up on the bus and we all got to take pictures (of course no flash at night makes a not so good pic). That was fun!

The guys were amiable as always. I have so much love and respect for these fellows. Not to mention finally getting up the nerve to actually talk to them and not stare at my shoes!

Sunday definitely rocked on 8,000 levels! This was my seventh show and damn if it didn't blow my mind (AGAIN!). It was like a wave of goodness that just washed over me during the show. NtoK was just perfect, Carl was in top form as usual. Sooner with Omnicord was awesome. I always find excellent people in attendance at Jacket shows and last night was no exception. A few were first timers and they got a hell of a show. I'd drive anywhere to see this band. Tell me where and when, and I'll be there!

pray god this show was taped. it sounds too good to be true!!!!!

Same poster for both nights, duder.

actually the posters are similar but slightly different, sunday night poster features a lion more prominently and the ringleader has a blindfold on.  

or maybe there were two different posters available both nights?  i dont know but in any case i ended up with two different posters

This was my first MMJ show... I was in the 2nd row out of the pit on the left side of the stage... other than the nutty drunk chicks in front of me, it was everything I expected... wish I could have hit the bat, but there was a man of the law next to me!  Can't wait to see 'em again!
