Roll Call: It Still Moves: Night 3: October 21

[el_chode]

Phenomenal set! Jim's banter was great. We even got some laser harp! The clock arms were the best I've ever seen, and It Makes No Difference was out of this world.

Also, anyone see the tromboner from Deerland when they first came on stage? He looked like he couldn't believe he was really on stage with MMJ.

If Steam Engine wasn't 20 mins, it definitely felt like it

I took a bunch of pictures from Carl's side of the stage. I was up in the corner. I think I was near board members but I'm not entirely sure. The show was ridiculous. Steam Engine was about as epic as it could get. The horn section... what else is there to say... One Big Holiday and Easy Morning Rebel... so dope

[jmk]

Oh my god, It Makes No Difference. That was PERFECT.

[vwxg14a]

Wow wow wow.  I have never smiled as much as I did at one concert.  Only our boys can pull off It Makes No Difference with All Night Long.

2 more to go.  I have dragged 3 newbies so far, and gave away another ticket to AD.  Tomorrow 3 new ones and one more for Saturday.  Slowly but surely I will have my MMJ army ready to go to the robot war.  

My highlights each night.

TTF - Its twilight now.
AD - Xmas Curtain
ISM - I will go with Mageetah, because just seeing everyone singing in unison to start, let me know that we are in for a great evening.  But my god, Dancefloors, Run Thru, Steam Engine, OBH and the encore, moved this show to #1 over TTF so far.  

I know Z will be off the chart, I just want to see what the encore will be.  I am going/hoping A Quick One or Oh Sweet Nuthin'

Another great show. The highlights of the album set for me were Easy Morning Rebel and Mastern Plan. The horns were a great addition. Steam Engine was great as always. The encore set was really fun and I love pretty much all of these covers. But when forced to pick  I thought It Makes No Difference was the stand out of the night.

Can't wait for tomorrow.

Sounds great!You guys posting reviews,pics,etc helps ease the pain for those of us stuck here at home.I'd be climbing the walls if I didn't have the upcoming Louisville show.

[itrainmonkeys]

literally had a smile on my face the entire time.....even without getting a poster. i enjoyed that show so much. johnny quaid was pretty awesome. the whole album was great but then when they played "tonight i'll be staying here with you" i went nuts. that song is just amazing and jim nails it.

utterly amazing. 2 more nights to go. so excited.

[woodnymph]

TONIGHT I'LL BE STAYING HERE WITH YOU!!!!!! HOW COULD I KNOW??!?!!

[FiddleCastro]

Un-freakin'-believable show tonight.

[weeniebeenie]

How did How Could I know and Masterplan sound?

[j_rud]

SECURITY! HE ELBOWED ME AND I THINK I'M BRUISED!!!

[woodnymph]

How did How Could I know and Masterplan sound?

un




ruly  :o :o

The How Could I Know crept up... several of us were trying to guess at what tunes they'd play after ISM, and I was aimin for a How Could I Know, and that spun me off into the galaxy somewhere, all the "how could I know How Could I Know" -ness..... k, I'm sorry, it's 3:23 and I should probably not be real conscious right now  :-X Amazing beyond amazing.... must....go....sleep...... :o

[danz]

345am and i just got back.  another awesome night of the best week ever.  was it me or did jim change the lyrics in sooner from 'blindness' to 'protection'?

yes!  he looked really psyched the whole night.  i watched him mostly during their opening set & he seemed all sorts of fired up.  all smiles, some arms raised fist-pumping & general rocking out maneuvers. he was a very happy dude.  oh, and he's pretty effing hot.  sorry, had to say it.

highlights for me:
johnny quaid and danny cash on OBH
run thru (agree w/ choder - best clock arms ever!)
steam engine - it was gorgeous
tonight i'll be staying here with you
it makes no difference
jim's ramblings about how EPID are like fruity gum  ;D

[headhunter]

i've said this many times before but i felt like this was one of the best shows - ever.

wow was the energy high and i don't think i could describe it to someone who wasn't there.  my favorite of the first 3 nights by far.

was front row center 2nd level balcony instead of at the stage and got a very cool perspective on the whole place rocking out.  too many highlights to name (20 minute kick ass steam engine!) but what other band has the balls to cover dylan and the band in an encore and then end with a lionel richie cover!   what a party!

can't wait to see ya all tonight and how elated and tired and sad i will be when this is all over!


what a good tired i feel today.

[el_chode]

There was one real low point of the night, which was when I was informed that none of it was real and it was all an illusion.

[Bigsky]

I'm still smiling...wow what a show. I got in line at 6:20ish...got my poster. From the start of the night, everyone was in a great mood and pumped for the show. The opening band was pretty sweet, and we could see some of the MMJ members watching from the backstage balcony.

The album part of the show was epic...I just couldn't get enough. Master Plan & Easy Morning Rebel were very nice, and I think I pissed myself during Run Thru. I have always loved the floating effects of Rollin Back & Just One Thing, and how they crash into Steam Engine; this was fully experienced last night...these tracks took my soul up into the rafters. JJ was full of emotions last night (more than usual) and One In The Same was such a touching taste of his depth as a singer...it was chilling.

The covers were hot...some that I have never heard, but Sooner and How Could I Know made me melt. The closer was such fun and it reminded me of the NYE show...so much fun...All Night Long.

It was wonderful to see all the forum friends...I'll see you tonight....

Remember...JJ said it was all virtual...and we were all at home online... ;D

[lasvegas]

incredible, just incredible.

it makes no difference and all night long were played as well as they could be. top notch.

THE LIGHTS!!!! fuck me. whoever is running the light rig for these shows has stepped up their game as much as the bad has theirs. kudos!

[metfan630]

All Night Long was a personal highlight for me.  My wife and I sing that song all the time for some reason, around the house, etc.  Hearing MMJ (and horns!) close with a rocking version was great, and watching the dance party on the floor was even better!!

Such a good show.  Can't wait for tonight!
