PHILLY Roll Call!!

HONEST MAN

well, now i see why they don't play this song live more often...Jim and Carl can't pull off the guitar solos live. As a guitar expert, I am very disappointed in MMJ after hearing 'Honest Man' live. Sounds like fake white boy blues as heard before on a few really bad Steve Miller Band albums. For shame...

You never answered my question in the other thread:

Are you an only child?

Hey everyone-

Just checking in to grab the setlist.  I'm new here and new to MMJ.  Philly was my first show and I was blown away!

I'm a newbie to your scene, but I've been recording concerts for over 10 years.  I ran the mics down front and I'm working on getting it posted to the LMA.  It'll be up in a few hours, I'm just running the recoding through a few plug-ins to clean it up.

Thanks to the kind folks at the show who let me squeeze in and set up the mics in the sweet spot.   :)

Jesse

Welcome!!  -- And [highlight]congratulations on becoming the most popular member on your first post![/highlight]

Glad you liked the show and the scene.  These people here are the best.  

And THANK YOU for doing the taping!!  :)

;D i was thinking the exact same thing.  i knew we had a brain connection the other night.  good to meet you, fleabag!

and to jesse - seeing mmj live is a surefire way of falling head over heels in love with this band.  so glad you made it  :).  welcome to the forum!  please feel free to roam the grounds at will.  i hope you have a pleasant stay.

Hey everyone I just made a name thing on here so I can connect further with everyone! I was also hangin out by the buses with you guys, I was the girl who made the shirt that I was trying to get everyone to sign. [highlight]I was with my little sister and that was her first jacket show, what an experience for her! (I mean for me as well, but your first jacket experience including pics, chats, and autographs with a few band members, so happy for her!) [/highlight]
It was awesome meeting everyone, I don't remember everyone's names, but I did promise to connect with people on facebook, hope they find me here! you guys are pretty awesome!

My sister took me to my first show (she's ynwa on here) and it's definately a great experience to share--especially when it "clicks"!

ynwa: please take note of myhighlights...you will need to work on these for my next show with you at T5  ;)

I probably should have mentioned my name in my first post here so those of you that I met would know it was me - I'm Laura, Eric's friend who was at Trish & Bob's pre-party and then had the pleasure of rocking out up front with some of you.

Anyhow, here's a few of the shots I took, hopefully I do this right - other forums I've been on allow three at a time, not sure how it works here, but that's what I'll do...

[JaneCool]

A few more...

And just a few more of Jim -











I have a bunch more - if anybody's interested, pm me (Liz, I got yours).

[ericm]

Great shots, JC.

Any more?  ;)

Hi. Loved the Penns landing show. 1st time seeing them and it was the hardest rockin' show ever. I must find out what the cool saxophone song is that the band came onstage to. awesome.

I can't stop listening to Circuital. It really showcases a lot of the different sounds they've churned out over the years. The intro/outtro is all Z, and the full band/middle sounds like a polished version of the early stuff.

Sounds like Danny Boy by a guy called Ben Webster.  Taken from an old jazz album from the 50's.   Pretty good stuff if you are into tenor sax.

it's already set up!  i talked to management & explained that you had to miss the philly show due to being pampered by your boyfriend.  they said they were very sorry to hear that & asked if there was anything they could do to make up for it.  so i told them if they could arrange a meet & greet during T5 week, that'd definitely be a nice consolation.  then they asked what shows you were attending & i told them you have tix for every night except ISM, which is the night you want to go to most of all.  they said that was "totally unacceptable" and "flat out ridiculous" & that they are sending you a ISM ticket and 2 backstage passes for that night!!!!  (hope it's ok that i gave your address to a total stranger)

after all i've done for you, i better get that 2nd pass!  it's about time i got some fucking gratitude.  hell, i'd even wipe the slate clean!

whats up everyone,

first post on the forum. philly was my second MMJ show (went to the MPP show back in May), and it was one of the best concerts of my life. the venue was sweet and the band was on point. wish i had a better camera for some better pics, but it looks like some other users have provided some pretty sweet pics.

just wanted to say a quick thanks to witnessMMJ for finding my blog and posting the link to my review/pics/videos. i meant to come and sign up and post it myself earlier, but it's been a busy couple days.

also, big thanks to jesse, what a recording. gotta appreciate and respect what tapers do, i'm sure it's a lot harder than it looks. thanks a ton!

hopefully next time MMJ come to town I can get in on a pre-show party, wish I knew about it ahead of time, but seems like a ton of fun.

i'd post the link to the post with all the goodies, but the forum won't let me include active links since this is only my first post. but if you haven't seen them and want to, just head on over to The Swollen Fox.

SwollenFox - your welcome to the forum
