I think I might put together a little mini-run of like 4-5 shows the next time MMJ tours.
You guys absolutely MUST catch a show at Red Rocks!

Sign me up...MMJ at Red Rocks is one of the finer things I've experienced in this lifetime   :D

Seriously it would be nice if we got a little touring group going for the 2010 MMJ shows...(fingers crossed that there will be 2010 MMJ shows!)

Also, not sure if this was posted earlier in the thread?

I loved reading everyone's take on the night. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad everyone seemed to be pleased with the afterparty.  If any of you will be in town the Saturday before Thanksgiving, we will be playing Bearno's again that night.

regarding the Jacket's relationship to da ville: I've been seeing this band since the beginning and let me tell you, that are not many people in this town who can say that.  The first show I went to was maybe 30 people and over half of them were family members of the band.  That did not change for a LONG time. Even when they had national and international press and were starting to get "famous" they could not sell out anything in Louisville.  It wasn't until they got signed to a major label, four years later, that I remember a sold out crowd and yes they brought it back then, too.  Nowadays, you have a bunch of young kids just looking to get drunk and a bunch of fairweather fans hoping they play their favorite song (whatever that might be).  I miss the old days, but I guess it pays the bills.

Now that they have proven themselves to the world and don't need louisville's blessing (not that they ever did) the city likes to claim them but not so much support them.  On top of that, there are a lot of jealous times, like Lovedogg was explaining, who like to dog them and pretend like they don't deserve the success they have.  It's a shame, but it's the truth. Some of my favorite musicians in this city will dog out Jim but then brag about their connections to the band on their bios.  From the beginning Jim didn't seem too concerned with pleasing Louisvillians and good for him.  He certainly did have the masterplan. The waterfront show was a celebration of Louisville but it was Jim patting our city on the back, being the bigger man.  Again, good for Jim.

Markus, I saw MMJ open for Bob Dylan at Red Rocks and Telluride, it was a blast and I hope I get the chance to make that run of shows with the band again.

Hahah that's so awesome they dressed as KISS and performed a couple of their songs on Halloween!

I saw KISS on Halloween at Voodoo in New Orleans as well as a bit of Drive By Truckers who also dressed as KISS!   ;D

Glad to see everyone enjoyed their MoF HalloweeeeeeN experience!  ;)

[crazylove]

I for one would like to know about these "scenesters" and who they think they are that they are all that!  If you were in *Lou evil* on Halloween night and you weren't at the Palace, then you were in nowheresville!  I feel sorry for all of thos poor souls who are missing out on something so extraoridinary. :'(

Well put Toby, the Palace was not the "cool place" to be [highlight]seen[/highlight](ie scensters) on Halloween in Louisville.

Hey the important thing is, the Louisvillains that ARE fans fucking ROCK!  This one Louisville thread is longer than the other thread that covers all the other cities so that should be all that matters.

[Ghosts_on_TV]

Well, Slint played a secret show in Will Oldham's basement, didn't you guys hear?

[goose]

I, for one, could give two shits about anyone from Louisville that doesn't care about MMJ, or our local celebs.  I work at an office that has four tix in a primo spot at the Palace.  I have received plenty of tickets to great shows (i.e. OCMS, Ryan Adams, Kings of LEon, etc.).  The great thing is that the bands most of us love fly under the radar, and that is why we love them.  IT gives me great seats, and I'm fine with that (I think Kory and dylan agree).

I would have like them to sell out the show, but people in Louisville don't listen to enough public radio (only place you hear MOF here), eat enough vegetables, or get active.

We have the highest obesity rate around, and people love their pop music.  They need something simple to groove towhy they try to work on their Crackberries.

I don't want everyone to think Louisville blows.  for the good side, I have lived here my whole life.  Grew up in Hikes Point, and never crossed paths with Jim or Patrick, but knew almost everyone else from that school.  

I love MMJ and MOF like no other, but I was a late bloomer.  I love their attitudes as much as their music, and I think that is the best part.  Jim and Patrick are as Louisville as it gets in my opinion(Think Patrick and his wife dressed up as H1N1 and Jim wearing skeletor boots for a year).  The Highlands and Frankfort Ave. areas are a prime example.  Our "Possibility City" is a melting pot of different people who can play six degrees of anyone in 1 step (If you're from Louisville you know this is true).

There are many people in this city that do love this band, and maybe, just maybe, many have children (remmeber it was Halloween and that is how I got extra tix).  

We all keep doing are part to try and turn new people towards the Jacket (and now MOF), and that is all we can ask for.

[Love Dogg]

Good post Goose.

[mlbrady89]

I believe that you're missing "I Will Be There When You Die,"  Eleaf.

Yeah, I believe it was before At The Bottom of Everything, because Conor and Jim traded verses on both, and I thought they were back-to-back.

Good catch. I remember using the rest room right before this came on. I think it was after We Are Nowhere and before Golden...but I could be wrong.

like i said, I'll be able to clear this up soon aside from the first two songs played and I think you guys all remember that...
tape will be coming!  :D

tape would be epic
anything to help preserve this amazing night
your the best

[xmascriminal]

That setlist is missing Look At You, which came after Wonderful.

[Kory]
