Toronto, ON - Massey Hall - Nov. 2/09

I'm hoping someone from the TO show has the setlist in order - I don't remember the exact order of songs. I might be missing a few - Thanks to withcamera-- for naming the Bright Eyes song that Conor, M. and Will Johnson did together, which they said they hadn't ever done together and I didn't recognize.

It was a great, great show and a pretty good crowd. There seemed to be a lot of Conor Oberst fans there last night, but M. and Jim got great responses too. The only disappointment is that we only got a 1 song encore - probably due to the unfortunate fact that Massey Hall has an 11 PM curfew which tends to cut band's encores pretty short (Wilco just played there Oct. 14 and said the same). So no 'At Dawn' which was too bad. But - can't complain. They played for almost 3 hours.

Hey, so how long are these shows running on average? I need to make a decision of whether to train it or car it on Sunday

The song that Conor, M. and Will Johnson did together that they said they'd never done before was a Bright Eyes song called "Kathy With a K's Song" from 2000 ep called Don't Be Frightened of Turning the Page. (Huge bright eyes fan here, can't help it!!! :D )


The show was amazing. Good set list memory!

BH,  it was cool hangin with ya  before the show.  What a night, probably the best sounding show I have ever been to. The venue was spectacular.   Sorry we missed you after the show, we were outta there in a blaze of glory to find out the train that brought us into the city was closed for the ride back, we had to take a fucking bus to another station, I felt like I was sitting in a petri dish ( I'm a bit of a germaphobe ).  It sounds like you hooked up with a fun bunch for some post show cocktails.
Great review by the way.  We woulda had some great pics and video but the usher kept pimpin Jernigan. I think I spent $ 150.00 on alcohol. The drinks were like double shot glasses for $ 8.00 ( wtf ).

Ha!  I know.  I don't even want to know how much I spent.  Sorry to hear about the transportation issues.  I looked for you guys for awhile but didn't see you back there so I figured you hit the road.   What a great night.  We'll have to do it again someday!

I'll chime in on MoF Boston.  Last night was exactly what I expected- awesome!.  They stuck to mostly the same setlist, though I don't know some of the CO and MW tunes by name.  No Temazcal.  Brought my mom on her 64th birthday; she loved it!  They were pretty quick getting us to put away cameras, so my 3 shots were rushed and show it.  And what the hell is the deal with CO spitting (three times) on stage?  Aside from his salivary outbursts and the camera nazis, a perfect night.  

Here's a link to the photos; best if you squint:

Soooooo stoked for "One Life Away." I've seen the live performance of that on YouTube and it gives me goosebumps. When Jim & M. harmonize on "fraulein" I practically swoon. Couldn't believe it wasn't on the setlist for so many of the shows. Now they're playing it. I'm seeing them at the Beacon Theatre this Sunday and have my fingers crossed.

Also -- to the person near the start of this thread who met Jim and got a photo with him: is the photo available for public consumption? where did you meet him? 'round back? by the bus? out front? at the bar? how hard is it to meet him? I live in New York and kept preparing myself for the day when I would bump into him on the street (I planned to kneel down before him and profess my eternal devotion, only half-jokingly), but it never happened, and now he doesn't live here anymore. I want another shot at it.

Anyone have the setlist from United Palace Theatre in NYC yet?

I wish I could remember everything that was played, but it the set seemed pretty close to what they've been playing.  Amazing show.  That's all that really needs to be said.  That and Bill Murray attended the show.

So while I was watching the hour long Nirvana Live at Reading show on FUSE this morning, a commercial came on advertising the MOF NYC show on the 8th.

I'll be there, but the tickets only say "a 2 1/2 hour event" which is shitty because that extra half hour means the world to me.

don't worry- if they play anywhere near the way the played on friday night, you wont be disappointed.  They tore the house down!

Just got back:

- Jim threatened to drop a giant needle that was hanging from the ceiling of the theater on the heads of anyone who wasn't enjoying the show (in the time-honored tradition of human sacrifice, of course)
- There was at least one professional videographer who I only noticed for the set closer of Losin Yo' Head and persisted throughout the entire Encore
- So much new music, 99% of it awesome (only one C.O./B.E. song put me to sleep, but the girls behind me loved it)
- It filled a MMJ craving, but in the same way a Big Mac satisfied a craving for a juicy steak
- My observations lead me to an analogy, girls : conor oberst :: guys : yim yames
When he came out, it was like a thousand dudes started getting boners and swooning all at once. It was strange. They also seemed to be the same ones who kept yelling "yeah jimmy" and "one big holiday" the entire time.
- once again, you can't play At Dawn without Lowdown after it. It's just not fair. But then again, you can't play Lowdown without The Way That He Sings, and thus we have a problem.

Not being familiar with much M. Ward and not ever getting into Bright Eyes, I have to say I was blown away by Ward's solo work, but I don't think I could ever tolerate an entire Bright Eyes show.

They played every song off the album except for Magic Marker and Ahead of the Curve if memory serves. Closed with His Master's Voice.

Budweiser is the official distributor of the Beacon Theater. I could tell because all they had was bud, bud light, becks, and watered down Bass. FU, InBev.

It was great seeing the words "Yim Yames" on a Broadway marquee

EDIT: I was also amazed at how they expanded the songs in a live environment. I'm not including the songs I didn't recognize that were boogie down awesome and made me regret having a seat and no room to stand. For example, the way the drums came in halfway through Dear God, before Conor's part, added a level of intensity to the song that I think it was seriously lacking on the album. Will's drumming was incredible and fun to watch because he was so focused on it. The lighting was incredible as well.

[General]

Excellent summary and good analogy re: Jim/dudes and Conor/girls.

Was it just me, or was Oberst a little overrepresented in the set?

Can't wait for an MMJ show. I told my friend, "Remember 'Smokin' from Shootin'? That's what an entire MMJ show is like."

I hung around in the frigid air afterward and got to meet Jim. I bowed down before him in a failed attempt at comedic adulation. He wasn't into it. I got 2 good pictures with him though. Also hoped to meet M. Ward (his records are excellent but he's even better live), but he never showed.
