Canandaigua NEW YORK SHOW 8.28.10

[Northern Neighbour]

The show was amazing last night.  The total 8-hour-plus drive there and back was well worth it.  We were able to snag a setlist tonight as well, and another fan offered us $100 for it, but we declined  

"Wonderful!" was great live.  A little mellow tune, but much better than "Sec Walkin".  I was extremely pleased to hear "I Will Sing You Songs", but was disappointed that "Steam Engine" was left out. Hopefully they'll play SE in Philly.

The "Run Thru" transition between "SFS" and "TMIGTS2" was awesome.  It was much better to experience it in person than to see it on YouTube.

Oh, Dillsnufus, sorry mate, I didn't get you a shirt, as I didn't have internet access throughout the day.  I'll send you a text message to see if you want me to pick one up for you in Philly, assuming it's still $30.

Now ready to hop on a plane to Philly for tonight's gig.

Nice site Johnny....Can you still get those on ebay or in any music store? I know Guitar Center could order me one but they were quite expensive.

Amazing show last night!  My first of hopefully many MMJ shows.  I couldn't believe how few people were there, though.  The whole back section of seats was empty.  I don't know if there was anyone in the lawn even.  There was at least one taper there that I saw.  

[woodnymph]

Oooooo very nice!!! And an I Will Sing You You Songs!!!

Heh I like:

I agree, since I am flying in from Oregon.   :)
It will all be up to my pops since I am in town to visit him and the whole fam, but he really wants to see MMJ with me!  Now that I am in my 30's, married and with a stable job, he has really opened up to me about his love of rock and roll.  [highlight]*side note:  I blew off college to follow the dead way back when[/highlight], so he never wanted to "encourage" my behavior.  But now all bets are off!  Crossing fingers we will be there!

Right on, you only live once!!! I bet you caught some awesome magic times!! What years would you say you followed 'em for?

And did you convince the pops to go last night?!? I hope you guys could rock out together! My mom wanted to go with me to the Pitt show, but I knew I wanted to be in the front....and I knew I wanted to headbang.... and I knew I wanted to stick around afterward to see about meeting everyone. She really loves them though, it's super cool  8-)

Hope ya got to go!  :)

eBay has about a dozen or more at any given moment.

I thought it was a pretty good show. Not as good as I expected mostly because of how much hype their is for Live MMJ but yeah, it was good. Only 19 songs, but I don't blame them...there really wasn't a lot of people at the show.

Was it just me or was the sound quality kind of lacking? Couldn't hear some of Jims guitar during key points of OBH and a few other songs. That kind of brought the show quality down for me, but like I said it was still really fuckin great hearing them and watching them rock out...so much energy. Hope somebody taped it.

I'm sure it's a better experience seeing them live at an indoor venue.

[hacksaw]

I Will Sing You Songs and Off The Record were amazing live

[oistheone]

My first MMJ live experience -- and what a show it was! Met some great Jacket fans who we rocked out with the entire show -- thanks to great fans and a great band.  No thanks to those assholes who chose to talk through every song.

Got some decent pics and videos which I'll post soon.

Also, if anyone has an extra poster -- PLEASE let me know! I'd be happy to work out a deal!

[joey_rogo]

finally back home! i thought this show was a blast. i was 4th row carl's side and it sounded awesome. jim did so much one-legged hoppity hops across the stage, it was awesome. i couldn't really see behind me very well, but everyone around me was rockin out pretty good. the fat, bald, bearded security guard at the left of the front rail was a total nazi. he kept distracting me from the music with his uber 'by the book' enforcement of silly rules. the setlist was a liiiiiiittle bit disappointing, but i did get to hear my first ever IWSYS so i really can't complain.

can't wait for rocktober :D

[weeniebeenie]

I Will Sing You Songs and Off The Record were amazing live

I'm really glad that they're playing I Will Sing You Songs again. Such a good song.

[oistheone]

Here's a song you've never heard before...

One Big Holiday live at CMAC.

I'll post some pics later today.

[zaxxon]

That's a great vid. Thanks! I love the one leg hop move at 3: 50.

[Jimbuktu]

Awesome show! Can't believe how few people were there, but that worked out for us as we made our way from the lawn down into the seats and a great view of the action.

Sadly, I struck out on the poster (forgot to pick it up). Does anyone know if it will be on sale on this website at any point?

Many thanks for the video! I was front row for this in front of Jim right center and already sent this to a bunch of friends as they can spot me several times. Nice quality as well! Had a total blast at the show.

Here are some photos if anyone is interested...
