Wish I could join in for the pregaming but we'll be putting the Baby Loblaw to bed and sprinting to the pavilion hoping not to miss the start of the show.  We'll be driving down from the far north suburbs.  I can't freaking wait.  I haven't seen the boys since the 2008 tour when the young one was a mere days old.  I've never been to this venue, anybody have any thoughts?  Is it outdoors?  Is there a floor and then seats further back?  I can't wait to buy some new merch too.  I need a shirt and a poster and a water bottle and a...

It's child abuse to leave your baby at home sleeping by itself, but for a Jacket show you do whatever is necessary. ;D   Here are some pictures of the venue:

You can add me to the roll call.  Just finally decided last night to meet some friends up there for the concert.  The three hour drive home after the show is going to suck, but hopefully the adrenaline from an amazing experience will get me home in one piece.   This will be my sixth show since 2004.

I haven't seen the guys play since the day before I moved from Louisville to Chicago in August 2008. It's been a long two years for me, but my wonderful wife bought me tickets for my birthday, so I'll be there! Can't wait! (And luckily, I don't have to wait much longer.)

We do have a babysitter, we're just doing the dirty work for her.

Thanks for the pictures of the venue.  It ought to be a beautiful night!

I figured as much, it just reminded me of a lady (friend of a friend) I know that left her child home alone in a crib while she went and got groceries.  Talk about no motherly instinct.  My wife gets to stay home with the baby and six year old tonight while I go have fun.  Thought about taking the six year old, as she's a fan, but not sure she's ready for it quite yet.

Anyone else addicted to these MMJ tweets from the show tonight? If tweets are any indication, this was a hell of a setlist.

What a sweet way to warm up for the T5 run -- by feathering the dust off some old classics for the rest of us!

That's easily the best set list of the year. What good fortune you folks had tonight!!

I really hope they keep up the variety with the post T5 shows.

It was a tease of Rollin Back to open...not the whole thing. Still pretty exciting.

Damn fine night of music.  EMR, Masterplan...and Steam Engine brought me to tears.

I'm ready for NYC.  Bring it on  :)

Lovely cool overcast evening with a nice lake breeze. And the rain held off till just now.

Glowsticks were present but none thrown - hallelujah.

I was with a group of mostly casual fans and they were all blown away. We all fully expect MMJ to come back and headline a night of Lollapalooza next year.

Lovely to meet some new friends tonight too   :)  I'm terrible with names but Jason's friend in the pink shirt - great to meet you!  Gah.  Kristen?  My memory is awful    :-[

This was my second show this summer (first being Sasquatch) and my first full non-festival show since the Chicago Theater run.

Really, really awesome performance. Perhaps because I haven't seen them in a while they aren't so new, but extended breakdowns at the end of Gideon and during the tail end of Dondante were great (although it's sad it came at the expense of a very short solo from Carl). Bermuda Highway kicking off the encore was beautiful, but the real highlight of last night was Easy Morning Rebel. Absolutely killed it.

All in all, a great show with some recent setlist standby's (Evil Urges, What a Wonderful man) being omitted for some older cuts (Rollin' Back intro, Masterplan) and not one person complaining.
