Unbelievable show. Might have been my favorite of theirs. I was right on the rail in front of Jim. I was the guy with the long hair & beard wearing the red #3 Juan Dixon Maryland jersey. I'm pretty sure some board members were near me. Speak up if you were! Despite a couple people, mainly the guy in the Chris Johnson jersey getting belligerent, it was a nice group down there.

The crowd was obviously super hot from the start and you could tell Jim ans the boys were feeding off of it big time. Carl was having some constant footing troubles, tripping over wires, falling backwards on his ass, but continuing to rock out.

Awesome setlist. Everything was just so on point. So awesome to see Steam Engine for the first time. Dancefloors KILLED.

Also, Jim and the Jacket always bring in the cute girls, but MPP was swarming with them. I was surrounded by good looking girls, including this one blonde girl who was particularly gorgeous. I'm a sucker for the whole pretty hippie braided hair thing.

Okay, I'll go out of creep mode, now. Ha.

Such an amazing show. Well worth the 3.5 hours from and then back to NJ.

Oh, also. The intro piece? Unbelievable. So epic. They've really stepped up their lighting game. It was something else.

First show since New Years, and opening with OBH was like getting shot out of a freakin' cannon. I was right in front of you jmk (blue bandanna), think we rolled our eyes at each other with Chris Johnson lol. A minor hiccup in an otherwise incredible show. Right up there with my favorites. Preservation Hall was awesome, encore with Dancefloors was ridiculous. Jim playing back to back with Joe Lastie is one of the funniest things I've ever seen at a Jacket show, which is actually saying quite a bit.

Nice to see some forum people again. Knew it would be a great one when sassbox asked me if I wanted a water and  brought me back a beer. Felt like summer of 08 all over again...

He was making the puke face about 3/4 of the way through the set and we just kept moving him to the left. Eventually someone behind me told him to keep moving if he was gonna puke.

Ya gotta look at it this way: there's always gonna be at least one, thankfully there wasn't more. Most everyone down there was fantastic and having a great time, which is how it should be. Classy folks, those MMJ fans. Enjoy the great crowds while we can.

MMJ Tweet of last night's setlist.  Looks good.  Kinda quiet here this morining.  I imagine a lot of fun was had before, during, and after.  Wake up and tell us more.

I believe Highly Suspicious was taken out.  No qualms here.  
Fantastic show.  Was nice to very briefly meet Lady, Kydiddle and Kenny76.  Also good to see Sass again.  Also great to meet RockburnPark and see Ms. Y again.  And of course it was great to randomly meet Ghosts who I got to rock out with for the first half of the show.

Wow - where to start.

Seen them 5 times, I guess that still makes me a relative noob in this crowd - Will have to wait a bit for the buzz(es) to wear off for some perspective but pretty sure this was the best of the 5.  

The crowd was great - pregame was great - thanks JDbartender - my friend Sean won the Kentucky Derby pool so drinks were on him.   We were 3 people deep off the rail right in front of YY (2 people behind bluesky and the flag).... was thrilled with the setlist choices.   Started and ended rockin, with mellow in the middle...

Basically any griping or negativity I had brought re: setlist, start times, curfew, etc.... washed away within 20 mins.   The opener was brilliant, Steam Engine - with hazy fog pouring off Jimmy - (it was HOT in the pit) ....

I had stopped reading setlists a week ago so was expecting the 3 cover encore, got Dancefloors instead which was a huge shot of great news.   Band killed it.    No Dondante which is prob the right call with a 2 hr setlist, since there goes 10% of the show...

Anyway, more thoughts when I get home.

Nice to meet so many of you.

I am typing this on my phone so I will post more later but the show was AMAZING!!! Preservation Hall was great too. I would like to add that Carl fell during one of the first few songs. Fell backwards onto his back and kept playing on the floor then quickly recovered. He went with it. That is why I love snowy bramble.

Jrud...I am sorry for slapping you and your buddy on the back multiple times. I was mad into it. It was great to meet you and everyone else along the way. Agh!!!! Great show. And jim reached out and grabbed my hand at the end. Swoon.

Steam Engine=brilliant.  :o

[TEO]

Sounds like everybody had a great time with all of the meet ups and all...

Would have to agree completely with what people are saying already..show was amazing!

I ended up in the pit directly behind the quick fight that broke out (guys tripping on E vs. some other asshole), but once that washed over..the rock was intense and non-stop. Jim and the boys delivered big once again. Would have loved some Touch pt. 1 or Cobra..but the set list was still incredible nonetheless.  ;D :D ;D :D
