Roll Call: Z: Night 4: October 22

[erchint]

this was the worst show of 4 I've been to thus far.

First of all Beats For U...wow that was the worst I've ever heard that song live...wtf happened there?

and I was bored out of my mind 10 minutes into Dondante. OMG KEWLZ JAM BRO! Lots of ZOMG I can play my instermentz 4 a rly long time lolz. Just stupid. Really forced...and just lots and lots of nothing spots where Jim tries to improvise on guitar and we all know that isn't his strong suit so it just didn't work out. Way too self indulgent and I contemplated walking out after they were FINALLY finished with the song. A few people around me even sighed "wow finally" when it was over.

Off The Record was the highlight of the show for me.

The guys just didn't seem to be having as much fun as they had previous nights...Jim's vocals were a little off too. meh.

Geez man, give your tics up..."i can play my instruments for a really long time"...what are you twelve...you should have gotten your ass out of there for sure....hope too not see you at the ville show...I'm with Toby...jackass

i touched Jim's ba ba banana nana...then i ate it. i feel fortified.

still haven't touched Yim's pickle though.

little drinking going on tonight ?

wow no more drunk posting for me.
The Banana really was special, though.
I'm also glad to hear jims shout out to coconut water, do you think he's got stock?

nice work with the glow sticks, hacksaw

from now on all shitty fans at concerts will be referred to as "hacksaws"

[marden]

actually, gotta sort of agree with hacksaw.  show was lacking something.  it was definitely not as good as the it still moves show that had everyone going nuts the whole time, first through the main set and then with the amazing encore.  last nights encore was just ok, although the quick one and careless whisper covers were awesome, they did not compare the tonight i'll be staying here with you and it makes no difference covers the night before.  and dondante was great for the first 10 minutes then veered off into boring territory.

incidentally, it is completely ridiculous to say that you can't criticize a show just for the mere fact that other fans weren't able to go to it. am i happy i got a ticket? yes. but that doesn't mean that the show is going to be awesome just because i got a ticket and someone else didn't and i should just saw that it was good just so others are happy.  as great as the band is, last nights show was not one of their bests.

Drunk post?  Well, I saw you with said banana and you did eat it.  Drunk or not, it happened.   :)

Really excellent night last night. Thanks to all the forum folks for the post-game gathering last night...wonderful to meet y'all and to see the folks I met on NYE again.  I'm going to bring a camera tonight to snap a photo or two of everyone.

Highlights for me -- The Dondante....Lay Low...I need a setlist  I enjoyed it all.  Had the earplugs in a bunch to filter out the chatter on the slower tunes.  Worked out just fine.  :)  There was a tune that I didn't know.   I think it was the first or 2nd song of the encore, but it rocked...need to find out what that was.

I was hoping to hear I'll Never Take the Place of Your Man and they played it and there was much dancing.  Then the bananas...perfect wrap up!  

[Penny Lane]

Thought of u during Prince!
They played it just for ya.

See ya all tonight. Probly around 530.

Here's the Ba-Ba-Bananas-nanas part, hahaha

Last night was different than the other nights in that aside from Dondante, the album was more or less played straight up. I thought there might be more of a jam on Off the Record or Lay Low. But it's not like they were played horribly or anything. I knew Dondante would be the highlight when they finished knot comes loose at like 10:20.

I admit, I was nervous that there wouldn't be saxomophone on it though because it wasn't out, and I NEVER thought it'd be 20 mins.

I still think At Dawn was my favorite night so far, but the feeling I had leaving the show last night was the highest I felt of all the nights. The encore was basically a second full set and the energy wasn't lacking.

Don't know how anyone can really complain. Z was played with 110% full energy. Even on Beats 4U where the sound guy just cut Tommy's bass for 80% of the song and I could barely hear him close it out.

And the hacksaw who hit Yim directly in the back with a glow stick.

No comment necessary

I also wanted to say that from the 3rd floor, it looked like Yim was giving special attention to the pocket of forum folk up front.

At about 2 mins and 45 sec in Yim tossing the bananna right at this guy...AWESOME

Also, Bo had some nice behind-the-back throws, and Patrick has a bazooka arm

Sounds like some of you need some thicker skin or maybe check out some other boards and see how insanely "roses and lavender" this place is.  

I think Hacksaw's opinion is ridiculous on last night's show.  I thought it was an outstanding performance with insane energy, based on what I was watching on-stage and picking up from the people around me.  "Lay Low" was my personal highlight and I don't see how anyone can say that it wasn't "jammed out."  The interplay between Jim and Carl during the jam was one of the coolest moments for me of either night I've seen (ISM and Z).

I agree that parts of "Dondante" seemed forced.  I thought the very same thing that Hacksaw says when I watched it.  I don't feel like it derailed the show at all and, if anything, the way they brought the jam back into the song and finished it out saved the song from the ills of any "self-indulgent" jamming (which I don't dispute there being).

But the point is, Hacksaw should be able to say what he wants without you all whining about how not everyone was able to go.  Of course not everyone was able to go, and that sucks.  But there's no need to act like the band can do no wrong and any criticism of their performance is tantamount to blasphemy.  

Hacksaw, I may disagree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death the right to say it.

Great show, though.  Great fucking show.  Can't wait for tonight.
