YouAre_GivenToFly

My 10th MMJ show and I finally got a setlist (Jim's). My right ear is still ringing.
The wind blew me back, via Chicago, in the middle of the night.

Awesome show last night, crowd was into it nonstop, band was very intense just as soon as OBH started up.  Gotta love the duck hunt pistols making a debut (I think).  The setlist was awesome, glad to see the guys switching it up a little over the tour.  "Anytime" really did it for me lastnight, can't wait for more dates to be announced and have to go for pit tix next time, though front row by the rail was nice.

He's been wearing the pistols this tour- but its awesome to see him use them in person  :D
Oh I'll never say I knew you, but my heart can't wait to meet you on the other side

All in all a great day and a great night. And I know GivenToFly (?) ate that hot dog after I left  :P
HAHAHAHA! I thought the guy who started puking during the encore might have eaten it.
Say friend, you got any more of that good sasparilla?

Did two cute young girls push themselves to the front and end up standing in said puke without even realizing?

Was that hot dog up front near the stage? I could smell it thru the entire show

I loved the headbands you made and your face melting all night!  ;D[/media]
QuoteHard to add anything more to what's already been said...  It was awesome being front row to the right of Jim and rocking out with bluesky in the get funky headband.  It was awesome to hear Wonderful with the whole band and Carl's song "Carried Away" was unbelievably amazing.

PHJB was unreal- I couldn't stop smiling during their whole performance!

I couldn't have asked for a better show from the Jacket- start to finish they brought so much energy.  Jim decided to keep the banter to a minimum and squeeze in as much music as they could.  He didn't see the get funky head bands I threw on stage but I got to touch the cape during Wordless Chorus so it makes up for the other.

The crowd really stuck out to me last night. On their feet and moving from start to finish. I think the PH Band had a lot to do with that. The crowd really responded to them and you could see it was appreciated. And as others have said, Dancefloors was just ridiculous. Haven't listened to the taping yet (that will be rectified momentarily) but I have no doubt that the numbers with the PH Band will instantly be among my all time favorites. They couldn't have picked a better opener, they just seemed to be really in tune with each other, and it was obvious that they were all having a blast.

I agree!! They were the perfect opener and I love that they are getting exposure thanks to MMJ. You have to give props to the Jacket for picking an opener that they love and not a band that is "hot" (hee hee, Sass) right now and really deserves the slot. I love them for it.

Let's get more dates up in herrrrr!!!
Cow temperature.

I know the guys always rock it out hard, but it really seemed like they were giving something extra last nite, especially JJ. Jim was feeding off of the crowd like I have never seen. The hugest smile on his face the entire nite.

Also, forgot to mention. Had my bud Lou with me, the guy with the mohawk and handlebar stache, if you saw him (unfortunately just a weekend 'do). This was his very first MMJ show. His mind was blown to bits, and then those remaining bits melted and soaked deep into the earth.

The crowd really shows up on the recording, singing loud and clear quite often. "We are the innovators" sounds like a freaking war chant  ;D

Was wondering; anyone come away with a pic of Jim shaking his ass with Joe Lastie (PH Band drummer) during Dancefloors? Thats the lasting image I'll take from this one lol. That and the knew-found knowledge that the Jacket can totally obliterate a hot dog if simply placed next to Jim's amp (thanks sassbox). And knowing is half the battle.

Haha, Thank you! I loved the  flag!

you also hear the collective "holy shit" gasp from about 2000 people when Steam Engine starts.


And here's silly.

If anyone wants to see the pics I took, which are mostly just blurs of Jim James because of my non-stop dancing... I got em up on my FB. I think my friend Jen took less-blurry ones.

Bahahaha, it was ridiculous. People were actually swooning. Might be the best crowd I've ever seen at a Jacket show, which would be a compliment. BTW, where did you disappear to when those girls came and stood in the puddle lol? The puke hit the ground and the next thing I know the cast of Glee is reaching over my should to grab Jim's boot.

It was honestly, the most fun show I've ever been to, mostly because of you guys, it just felt great to be with a bunch of people who absolutely fucking love this band, the 2000+ singing along helped, too!

And at first, I was to the right of the girls, then I went to high-five kydiddle over the girls' heads after Dancefloors, then she grabbed my hand and pulled me to her side for Move On Up, it felt so epic at the time! Everything felt epic!

awesome show!  just got home & am still kinda in a trance.  loved PHJB & mmj... i don't even have the words to describe.  great setlist, can't even say i "missed" any song that wasn't played.  they were just on from the start.  a definite highlight was dancefloors, for sure.

my favorite part was when my sister had her lightbulb moment.  it was beautiful!  she gets it & is now a fan.  and she too thinks jim is a fox....

also, it was really great meeting everyone.  thanks to jd & co for the excellent tent party, sass for the almost ride (we would've held ya back!) td for the delish beer, and mahgeeta & "pizza boy" for the drinks & pizza after.  very cool to hang out with you guys.  honestly, such a nice group of people  :)

edit: and i can't forget the awesome flag - thank you bluesky!

The crowd was great around me, lots of high fives were givin. I saw this girl texting on her phone, and I said "you really shouldn't text at a my morning jacket show" it was funny, but I think I made her feel like an asshole, which I wasn't trying to do. I saw her talking to her boyfriend a couple minutes after that and heard him say "well it's a pretty good point!" I think I pissed her off. Haha.
