Where to begin, no. Unless they played super fast while I was peeing.  My heart broke a little tonight.  We will probably never see "our" morning jacket again. They are as humble and grateful as ever but the "atmosphere" is different.  Still a great show.  More later...

So I have to say that, for the wonder and joy of Birmingham and Nashville, and despite a curfew (they stopped playing at 10:59 PM), this was the best show of the week!  I loved the majesty of the Alabama Theatre, the people I've met, the pit in Nashville, seeing the Jacket for the 2nd and 3rd times, but the best show was my 4th, this week's third, Atlanta!

I rocked so hard I had my eyes closed and missed clock arms!  Dondante, Smokin', Lay Low were phenomenal!  The venue was cool, I met great people, and they were on fire!

And "Where to Begin"!!!!  Thank you!  The highlight of my week!  What an amazing thing, seeing a beautiful song for the first time live!  The rest of the setlists, from Bham to Atlanta, were so similar.  I prayed for Steam Engine, Bermuda Highway, Dancefloors, At Dawn, but this was fine!!!!

Thank you to everyone on this forum who found your way to me.  I am a lucky man, I know.  This week will fall in the top ten, after the birth of my three beautiful daughters (I miss you Katherine, Madeline, and Lauren) and my marriage to a very generous and loving woman (I love you Michele).  

I'll probably cool down on my postings here, now that my trip is over.  I appreciate the chance to chime in and gear up!!  The folks from this forum are beautiful!  I couldn't have made it without you!

As I fly home tomorrow and look down at the South, a place I called home for 13 years, where I met my wife and started my family and career, I return to New Hampshire a grateful fella.  Thank you, Michele, for letting me do this!  I love you so much!

Girls, Daddy's home tomorrow and we'll give My Morning Jacket a rest so you can hear some White Stripes again.  

Easy Way, aka Thomas, you are a fine man, a good friend.  You and lovely Ashli plus your whole group were so gracious for bringing me into the fold.  Seth, you gave me a kick ass start to a great three show tour.  Kurt, recover from these shows, get serious about school, and be cool.  ALady, Dylan, Meg, flyguy, CrispYY, Low Down, Tracy3000, and everyone else, I love what we have together- a common recognition that this here is one awesome motherfucking band!

That'll do for now.  Goodnight!

On the other hand, with the shorter setlist, no more Way That He Sings.

That made NO songs from Tennessee Fire or At Dawn.    Don't need to check the archive to make the statement that I bet that's the first time in the history of the band that that's happened   :'(

Yes...this made me very sad.  Fun show, but my first show where I wasn't at least 4 feet from the stage.  The band is growing up I guess...

Crowd may of been annoying but I have no complaints about the talent of the women that were in attendance.

Sundresses as far as the eye could see.  ;D

Seen the boys a few times and that show last night absolutely kicked ass!

Did anyone see the guy light the pine straw on fire during the end of the PHJB set?  I was asking a cop if they caught the guy and she insisted the fire was caused by the lights.  She refused to believe my story.

I was right next to that area.  It was caused by the light.  The guy was a staff person trying to put it out.

We had a clear view of the whole thing. Some guy went right next to the light fixture and did something to start the fire. Then he went running into the crowd below. After it started roaring, some kid went up there and poured his drink into it. That didn't put it out, and then staff people worked on it until they got a fire extinguisher.

I doubt the kid got caught.

And here is a blurry picture of the fire from where we were standing:

Was near that fire as well. When they turned on those ground lights we noticed it started smoking and then poof, fire!  

Thanks to those couple guys who tried to put it out before the extinguisher came because that could've gotten ugly quick.

But holy $hit! What a show last night!! Thanks to Tayor Caine for getting these shows on Archive in record time. Been listening to it all day getting chills. And I think I've developed a non-sexual man crush on Jim James.

Can't wait for next time!
