MoF Tour Setlists, Reviews, Pics, and Tour Posters

QuoteI am (and was last night too) pretty darn sick, so I can only muster enough energy to touch on my favorite moments not mentioned.

House music before the show was William Devaughn "Be Thankful For What You Got". Nice touch, and an obvious JJ influence as he has mentioned his love for that song. Not enough people knew the song though, a shame. One of my all time favorite soul songs.

JJ thanked the crowd for being respectful by being quiet and attentive at a folk show. Note to future towns....keep your mouth shut ;)

JJ also mentioned the 2 fish on each side of the stage that looked like they were going to eat us. Most of the venue was confused, but we were in the second row of the balcony dress circle and could see exactly what he was talking about. There are 2 faux balconies that have these decorative covers around them. It does look like a big catfish is going to eat something when viewed at the right angle. Nice imagination Jim...love it.

Poster is very nice and homegrown and printed. Each venue should be getting their own poster......at least I think.

I actually liked Conor on I Will Be There When You Die....once JJ took the reins that is.

Jim's voice is on and stellar. Amazing.

Wonderful (The Way I Feel) is awesome with M. Ward. Glad they are playing that since I only saw it at Bridge School. Montgomery & Jim harmonize perfectly....like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

I couldn't control myself on the first notes of At Dawn. I am not sure how loud I said it, but I was all like "yes" or something like that. It was pleasantly quiet between songs so it sounded like I was loud. Anyone hear me?

Jim also bantered about how M. Ward feels like he is who he is because of Portland and we should be proud that we have that influence on him. Something to that sort. very cute b/c I do see M. Ward out and about every now and again. I am always proud that Portland lets their local musicians lead a normal life and don't bug them. I sure don't know what groundbreaking thing I could say to him, so I always leave him alone....

Glorious night...only Jim could get me to muster the energy to go out sick on a Wednesday night. He rewarded me and then some....

hope you feel better, wizzrard. great review. i would have yelled the same thing if i heard 'at dawn'...that will be the highlight if they play that in Lville or NYC.

Summary of Seattle review to help save 3 minutes of your life.

"I don't like the record and didn't want to go but I went anyway and it was too long because, well you know I didn't want to go in the first place and I don't like the record so, you know, like 10 minutes would have been to long really, because I actually really wanted to see a My Morning Jacket show and I was hoping Carl and Bo would have knocked out M and Conor backstage and replaced them so they could do One Big Holiday and I could go home slightly less angry with the world."

Thanx BH, I was mere seconds away from clicking the link too. It's too bad for dude.....the douchebag probably should have stayed home.

Anybody got a setlist?

OMG, I absolutely heard you from downstairs. I said to Matthew: "HA, I KNOW that was Liz!" So awesome!

Whenever I hear the begining of At Dawn I always picture an old west gun slinger walkin slowly with his spurs a jinglin and janglin.

Brad Klausen is the artist, he's done quite a few PJ posters in the past.

So still no Portland or Seattle setlists? Really want to know if any other MMJ songs were tossed into the mix other than the ones played in BC.

You know, it's okay for someone to hold a different opinion... :-? The reviewer admitted that he had low expectations going in, but he had several positive things to say about the performance too. The review wasn't a baseless slam of the show; the main points he seemed to make was that he didn't agree with how it was advertised, the pacing of the setlist, and the fact he happens to prefer MMJ to Oberst or M. Ward. That's not a crime last time I checked ;)

I'm curious about the poor attendance. The show here doesn't seem to be selling well either; this morning I could still pull up tickets in the dress circle.

Sweet poster.

Of course it's OK, I was just trying to summarize that different opinion to save people time. ;)

Ah, cool. ;)

I dunno, sometimes I think the sort-of-negative reviews are more interesting than the glowing ones. It's interesting to see what other people get out of a show, especially people who are more casual fans. Wonder what it looks like from outside our die-hard bubble, you know?

BH says:

You obviously wanted to see a My Morning Jacket show not a Monsters of Folk show, so why did you even go, "with low expectations". Strange.

The other day I was thinking how much I disliked brussel sprouts but I went to the store and bought some, cooked them and ate them, and decided I really wish I had purchased carrots instead.

IMO, $50 is a lot for a concert. I dont think Ive ever paid that much for anything besides a Phish show, and I think its pretty obvious they command a lot more interest and demand nationwide than JJ, MW, and CO combined.

$30 wouldve made more sense to me. I still might end up going, but the main reason I didnt buy tix as soon as they went on sale was because of how expensive they are.

ALady · Oct 16, 2009, 04:22 PM

They are $60 here including the fees. I'll be out of town at a different show anyway (and in a sick twist, spending more than that on my ticket ;D) but it just seemed way too steep, especially when I really only like 2/5 of the people on stage.
