Guesses on Setlists - MMJ as opener for Petty

[mahg33ta]

You can't help but feel the sadness dripping from JohnnYYac's post about how he can't make the NYC shows - and, the observation with 14 threads that this is all anyone is talking about.

So, in order to have something else for him to discuss, and because he mentioned he's getting psyched for Petty, here's a question - what setlist would you compose if you were MMJ, 45 - 60 mins available to blow the minds and invite further exploration from what's likely to be a largely unknowledgable crowd????

Here's my stab:

1.   OBH with new opening
2.   Anytime
3.   Gideon
4.   Golden
5.   I'm Amazed
6.   Wordless Chorus
7.   Smokin From Shootin
8.   Touch Me Pt II

Note:  this is more of a prediction than a request.... MY list would be a lot more obscure, but I'm trying to be reasonable


Note2:  I'm going to NYC so I really don't care what they play

[el_chode]

1 OBH
2 Touch Me 1
3 Highly Suspicious
4 I'm Amazed
5 Off the Record
6 Wordless
7 Anytime
8 Mahgeetah

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

Opening for Petty.. trying not to be better than Petty... hmm...

1.) At Dawn
2.) One Big Holiday
3.) Wordless Chorus
4.) Friends Again
5.) I'm Amazed
6.) Smokin->
7.) Run Thru->
8.) Touch Me pt. 2

Kyle, the first thing I said when I saw this thread was, "thank you for changing the subject!"  You are too kind.

And this is a topic dear to my heart, for I am still stung from the three show run in April, with virtually identical setlists.

Also Highly Suspicious is how similar your predicted setlist is to the ones in Birmingham, Nashville, and Atlanta.

I must keep the faith that I will hear Steam Engine, War Begun, something epic I've yet to see, even when opening for Mr. Petty.

Open with something to grab 'em.

Toss a golden bone or two for the true believers (see above)

I must think on this some more (retreats back into the bomb bay door). -anyone familiar with "Dark Star"?

Sorry this might be the most stupid question, but in what of the variable formats do you mean "Dark Star?"

My plate doesn't let my thoughts get past the Dead when I see "Dark Star" but you likely mean something very different.

It's 12am now, and I'm beginning to mould back into a pumpkin, forgive me.

Sorry.  I debated this reference due to confusion with the GD tune.  I was referring to the sci fi film "Dark Star", where a computer (think HAL from 2001) has to talk itself out of self detonating.  Hence the reference to the "bomb bay doors".  Sorry for the confusion.

It's also the title of a Beck song.  I'm pretty sure that he doesn't listen to the Grateful Dead since he said "I smell hippie"  when he came out on stage at Bonnaroo in 2006.  That is one of my favorite all time quotes.

[weeniebeenie]

I'd love to hear MMJ and TPATH play Rebels together.

[mahg33ta]

BUMP as the day has arrived.

If anyone else wants to guess, get your entry in.   People who have guessed may want to revise, given
a) gonna be 75 minutes of goodness
b) setlists seem a little more interesting than we might have thought a few months ago

A prize to the winner:   I will send whoever's closest a piece of pretty cool MMJ poster memorabilia!!! (judged completely subjectively and unscientifically by me)

WOW!  Is it today???  So excited to see the setlist!  

I am sticking with my original prediction.....as it really doesn't matter, my predictions in life, work, music etc are always off... :)  But that's what makes it so much fun!

Have fun Kyle!

OK so my list is pretty much the songs I always use when introducing someone to the Jacket, along with a hope for Circuital and the realistic OBH opener and Smokin > Run Thru > Touch Me finale.  I can't believe TP actually thinks he can follow MMJ, the Heartbreakers are really gonna have to be on tonight to even hold a candle to the "opener."
Read in an interview with Jim that he would love to play a song with Petty, THAT would be awesome.
