Tom Petty/MMJ Roll Call 8.24.10

[ericm]

like how awesome it was that trish, bob, rich, mitch, laura & i were able to get down to the bottom of the lower tier, pretty close to the stage.  and we did make it almost all the way thru the MMJ set there.  there were a couple of other people by us who were rocking out too & were very kind to shift over a few times to help us out.  MMJ played a blazing hot set!  the more i hear circuital, the more i like it (it's been a grower for me) & i'm giddy with anticipation over what the new album is going to sound like.  after we got relegated to our real seats, there were 2 dudes a few rows in front of us that were rocking out too & we hi-fived.  jim was as gracious as ever, thanking everyone for coming in early to check them out & he did totally waive to us when we were down front  :D  TPATH put on an excellent show.  i really liked one of the new songs, i'll have to find out what it was... but yeah, all in all, it was a great night.

Glad to hear you were all able to get close for as long as you did. Sounds like an awesome time while it lasted!

How cool Jim waving to you guys must have been. 8-) I hope someone caught a pic of that, but if not, I'm sure you all have that seered into your memory. ;)

Will you and lil sis be making it to Philly? Hope so, but if not I'll see you @ T5.

I know I'm late posting this, but I wanted to let you guys know that when I went in for my will call tickets (probably like 5:30 or so) I heard the boys doing Just One Thing during the sound check.  It was at the end of the song, "I want it so bad, its the first thing..." I couldn't believe my ears- I've never got to hear that live.  I also thought we would get it during the set but guess they are just practicing for T5.  

Loved the show.  Agreed about the crowd.  Had two old dudes next to me with the typical, "I wish we got ZZ Top as the opener" sentiment.  I told them my two favorite bands were playing tonight.  After MMJ I asked them how they liked it and they said it wasn't their thing.  Will be a totally different energy at T5, can't wait!

that's awesome that you got to hear just one thing during soundcheck!!!  one of my faves (actually, every MMJ song is my fave) & i cannot wait to hear it live @ T5!  DREAMY!!!!!

for the most part, i did not get the crowd on tuesday.  i've been to a few shows there & have never had this problem before.  usually everybody else is up dancing & having fun in their own way.  and i wouldn't say it was necessarily an age thing either.  i just don't get it.

To be fair, I never "got" people who liked ZZ top beyond their 3 songs that are indistinguishable from each other.
