Didn't see a roll call for this show, the second of the remaining shows in 2011.
Not sure if this is the same soundcheck available to Roll Call members. Looks like MMJ will also be open to Q & A.

Anyone going to this show? Soundcheck, too?
You know it!
:) going to both.
Crap, just realized the soundcheck party package isn't for sale anymore - anybody got any ideas as to how I can still buy one?
Going to the show but not the soundcheck.
same as above.
Same here...going to the show, but not the soundcheck.
Walter...any good beer to be found in easy walking distance of the venue? :)
wife and i are rolling up from santa cruz.
do not miss sharon jones and the dapkings.
i will be shocked if MMJ doesn't have her and the horns sit in for a few choice nuggets.

Zeitgeist or The Toronado. Both about a mile from the BGC. Check 'em out. Also, city beer is the bomb! And about a half mile from the venue. They have about 6-8 (maybe more?) awesome beers on tap and probably have the best bottled beer selection in the city available for purchase to take with you. All are solid beer places within walking distance. Scope out their websites.

I'm going to both. I've never been to a soundcheck before so I'm looking forward to that. I can't think of any good questions to ask though.

Aha! I will be flying solo this Friday! I will have a local friend in tow, though. This will be her 2nd Jacket show. The first being the NYE Fillmore show I dragged her to. :thumbsup:
Baby MMJ and Matthew will stay home to watch the PDX homestead, but I will let them know that they will be missed. Looking forward to seeing you again, Eric!
EDIT: I take that back, her THIRD Jacket show; I forgot about Outside Lands.

Knew that I could count on you! :) Thanks! We'll be kicking around town most of the day Friday so hittinga good pre-game spot should be a piece of cake. :beer:
What do folks think.... will these sets on this leg of the tour be similar to those from the summer tour? As in, are you expecting Victory Dance->Circuital openers, Gideon and OTR early, extended Dondantes and Steam Engines late....
Or do you think they'll mix it up more? Getting pumped for Friday...such a treat to get MMJ so soon again after an epic summer run! :D :D :D

I'm definitely hoping they mix it up more, but have a feeling it'll be similar to the summer shows. I'd really love to see them break out different openers for this leg of the tour.
I like being surprised by the opening tune, and getting different ones each night, be it MMJ or any other band.
Me & Rizzo will also be there for sound-check party and show. Did they mail tickets or are they will call if you bought them through pre-sale?? Can't find my confirmation e-mail either. Afraid I deleted it by mistake. Trying to get my poop in a group before leaving town for L.A. on Thursday and I can't seem to find my own ass with both hands and an ass map. Sigh.

I seem to remember that at the onsale they were going to be will call. I got an email telling me my LA tix were shipped,and email confirmations for both soundchecks. I never got an email about SF tix being mailed, and to look for them in a couple of days, like I did for the LA show, so I'm thinking they're at will call.
I just checked my confirmation email which is completely unclear - but I did not get charged for delivery so I'm assuming they're at will call? :-\ I emailed them to double check though...

Peek-a-boo! I'll be signing in for this show too. What time are doors?
Have we heard of any art for these shows?

Hi, i don't think this question has been answered yet: Is the Grammy Soundcheck + Q/A the same thing as the Roll Call Soundcheck? I assume the Soundcheck is the same, but was curious if, after the soundcheck, they would kick out the roll call members and start the Q+A with the Grammy members?
if the band has any say in it, they wouldnt let that happen. they dont always have a say in it though.
WILL SOME ONE PLEASE ASK WHAT HES SAYING AT THE END OF STEAM ENGINE?
Has anyone been to a big rock show at the Bill Graham? Last time I was there was for a Beck show in 2003 and honestly, I can't recall how good it was... as in, is it easy to get close to the stage, to get a beer and use the bathroom, get back to your spot with your buddies, etc etc...? I know the acoustics are less than ideal, just wondering if it's easy to find your groove there for a good show, if you know what I mean...
I've seen a number of rock shows there - the most recent being Soundgarden in July. The recently upgraded the acoustics and it sounds much better than it did in 2006 (the last time I saw a show there). Soundgarden was sold out and I was approx 20 people away from the stage. Still fairly easy to get in and out but would likely be more difficult the closer you are to the stage.

I'd just be echoing almost exactly what this person said, including my last trip to Bill Graham being Soundgarden. They made a lot of renovations to the roof to improve the acoustics. Security is pretty relaxed in my experience.
I'm not attending the soundcheck, but I'm thinking about leaving work early for the show. I had a front row spot in front of YY in Oakland in June. Shame there's no tape of that show — it was a monster. :-\

Wow - better late than never - Just got an email saying that all pre-sale and soundcheck bundles are will call AND
"There will be a separate window for "Roll Call" members, so you won't have to wait in a ridiculously long line". :dankk2:

does it also give a time schedule?
no - there is always something missing from their emails ;D But the other confirmation said will call opens an hour before doors open - which still means nothing to me because I don't even know for sure what time the show is. I'm assuming show starts at 8, doors at 7, will call at 6 - but you know what happens when you assume....
Just called the venue
Set times:
Sharon Jones - 7:30
MMJ - 9:00
and the soundcheck party's at...?

Yeah, according to ArtistArena the tix will be @ Will-call. They require a printed confirmation and an id.
hoping for:
steam engine
i will sing your songs
monstrous lay low
and some cover that sharon can sing.
Called the venue - doors are at 6:30 (one hour before Sharon Jones).

So does that mean the Soundcheck party's before or after the doors open at 6:30?
It's a beautiful San Francisco day. Enjoy it and I'll see you guys tonight!
Trying to update from my blackberry Wow - soundcheck before the soundcheck - cobra!! I hope that wasn't just a tease. Actual soundcheck party - if all else fails (!!!), lowdown,wanna freakout. Short but awesome. Sound was good!
no way, if all else fails. going to get in line now...
wow. if all else fails and lowdown just in the sound check. and possibly cobra tonight. that is too damn good a night! good luck people!
You guys totally forgot to mention the most ridiculous part of them possibly playing Cobra tonight...they will have the Dap Kings as their horn section!!!! Why oh why did I pass on going to this show?? I even looked at last minute flights to SF today, shit would of set me back $500 and I seriously debated it in my mind ;D
if all else fails would bring me back to T - 5 days.... I can't believe europe got so lucky. Getting off the caltrain now. Can't believe I missed the soundcheck. Pumped for tonight. War begun and PWW last night so I'm calling I will sing you songs and by my car tonight. Maybe masterplan

Was going to share tonight's setlist but looks like someone beat me to it. In case no one's posted the soundcheck party setlist, they played "If All Else Fails," "Lowdown" (w/a traditional blues improv/ending) & "You Wanna Freak Out."

The Circuital Bear was truly a beautiful thing, as Jim so eloquently noted during soundcheck!
Cobra twice for me this year :D What can be said? I'm counting my blessings, Thank you men of the Morning Jacket for bringing it hard this past year. I speak your name. :dankk2:

Fucking awesome! Nice meeting some new fan people too.
I grabbed an extra poster and if anyone really wants one that couldn't get one let me know.
So, no one got to film the Soundcheck party? What about just a recording? Any cool questions answered?

PM sent
solid show. I'm glad they are mixing it up a bit from the summer tour shows. It seems like they made a cognizant effort to give us a some different songs from the Fox show. I appreciate that.
My highlights:
it beats 4 u
i will sing you songs
at dawn
cobra
huge dondante
i think One big holiday is the one of the greatest encore songs penned by any band/artist...up there with Purple Rain if you've seen Prince a bunch.
the venue was less than desirable for me. the place was huge and undersold. capacity was 7K. I bet there was maybe 5K in attendance. we were in the first balcony section directly in front of stage and had problems hearing the bass. drum kick was muddy too. vox were decent, but with all the reverb they use it didn't really matter...probably just added to the affect.
crowd was typical SF/Bay area: txt obsessed and chatty. i didn't have to tell anyone to STFU but my wife was giving dirty looks and it seemed to work. thanks babe!
the poster by Fung was nice. i told myself i'd never buy one of his prints after he did 2 donkeys humping for the last greek show. i'm a sucker for bears i guess.
wow...another amazing setlist...hoping for something special in NYC!

Before they let us in for the party, we could hear them soundcheck I'm Amazed and Cobra. So, there was a soundcheck before the soundcheck party.
They stroll out and they all see the guy in the bear suit with the Circuital magic eye made from glow sticks around his face (in the pic that bo tweeted), and Jim said that that was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.
After If All Else Fails, Jim said he was experiencing high pitched feedback in his ear and talked to the sound person about it. He then said that was the fun of the soundcheck party, getting to hear them hash out high pitched feedback problems.
Jim said they visited the de Young museum and the "Region of Horror". It took awhile before someone in the crowd realized he was talking about the Legion of Honor.
Someone asked what they had for lunch. This seemed to make Jim think, and Jim finally said that the tour is better the longer they go without eating. He then said it was a good question. ( Maybe they don't eat until after the show? )
Then someone asked if they had seen the Muppet Movie yet. Jim said immediately, "Unfortunately." He said he didn't care for the first half of the movie at all, but he liked the second half. Patrick then said that Jim was the only person he knew who felt that way. Jim then said sarcastically that Patrick and a bunch of people they knew all said it was awesome. Jim finished by saying that he takes his Muppets seriously.
Anyone know the artist who did the soundcheck poster that we got? I was expecting a lithograph, but was pleased when I saw it was a silkscreen poster.
sounds really cool. its kind of a bummer that in all the shows I've seen post roll call they haven't offered a soundcheck party yet. my time will come.
SWEET JESUS! :o this show was a barn burner end to end!
quote of the night, as the band began playing dondante rizzo's girl leaned over and said, "i think they're trying to kill me."
so many crazy surprises in the set list! when they started the intro to cobra i hollered. then hollered more. and hollered again between throwing down quality dance moves.
MIND BLOWN.
SOCKS ROCKED OFF.
HEART FULL.
HATS OFF TO YOU, GENTS!
and now: going for first coffee of the day. :coffee:
show bonus: so many old pals in attendance last night it felt like old home week. danz, i made it out of the show without any injuries!

Hi...lurker here...but I had to post to agree! I couldn't have said it any better myself. Just unbelievable. I think it is impossible for this band to disappoint me. Each time I see them the show is better than the one before. Musical perfection!!

Yes! The Cobra dancing was awesome! There was also a point where Jim was wearing the towel on his head and he stuck his thumb out in the air and his tongue out like "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan used to do.
They always play such epic shows in the Bay Area, and this was no exception.
On another note, I hope the person that needed medical attention during Sharon Jones' set is alright. That sure seemed to shake her up quite a bit.
Hell to the yeah. I've seen MMJ all over the country (and Canada) but I must say that I feel a special kind of love in the bay area. And Jim's moves during Cobra....wow!
That being said, the couple behind me talked all during Cobra - I'm a hippie chick and I still wanted to punch them in the face.
Looking forward to MSG!
Here's my Golden vid. Not as good as my Victory Dance one. I also have about 30 seconds of At Dawn.
I thought the Fox show in June was a touch better, but I'm not complaining about seeing the opening track on five of the band's six records in the same night.

Last bit of self-promotion — Here's a link to my review, which has a link to a Photobucket slide show with about 30 pics: http://dailyrepublic.typepad.com/forthoseabouttorock/2011/12/show-time-my-morning-jacket-bill-graham-civic-auditorium-12211.html (http://dailyrepublic.typepad.com/forthoseabouttorock/2011/12/show-time-my-morning-jacket-bill-graham-civic-auditorium-12211.html)
Socks ms. yvon? They were the only things rocked off?! ???
Sure....
Rizzo and I just got home from our CA trek. Still flying high from the show last night. LA was super fun even with all the technical problems but last night.... OMG it was CRAZY!! We had choice spots on the rail smack in front of Tom/Carl and can I just say Carl was on fire. Tom was also on fire and as cheeky as ever. Patrick and Bo were throwing water bottles at each other at one point. And Jim, oh Jim. The Cobra dance moves and then him throwing on Pooch's poncho was nothing short of spectacular fun. Their energy was electric and we fed off it all night.
Every show we go to we meet more of you Forum folks and it slowly pulls me from being someone who's just read this Form to actually wanting to post more.
PLEASE tell me someone got a vid of Jim's Cobra moves!!!!
Ms Yvon and Vespa Chick - you two ladies are QUALITY!! Thank you for the finest of evenings and post show hotel lobby beers were icing on the cake.
Phenominal show. Im at Oakland Airport with a Racer Five reeling! That was a top notch show last night. So many forum peeps, rizzo & girl (totes did not know those are your forum names :embarassed:), ms y, ewind. So. Much. Fun. Also, I want some of whatever YY had. :thumbsup:
Those Cobra vogue moves. :-* I fucking love this band & the friends I've made because of it. Top notch im stinky, tired, gonna board a plane and go see Chris Robinson tonight in PDX. I only feel old
Edit: Patricks drum stick made it through security.
Good times. I managed to end up with a setlist (Gideon and butch Cassidy were on it and scratched out). Ended up at an Irish bar post show up the street and Bo was there chilling with some friends.
Cobra!!
I missed you walterfredo! I was in front of carl with the gang, where were you positiomed?

You rocked. Good energy coming from our section. :thumbsup:
I was feeling it too ... though my rocking out tends to look more like I'm approaching status epilepticus than any throwing down of quality dance moves.
I must have met some of you other folks down there too. Good to meet y'all!

1. Dill- can you warn me before you post something that hot?
2. You know where that poncho would look REALLY good?
3. um....must take cold shower...ready to pounce at 5 min mark, how did you rail birds control yourself?
Too bad there were some Chatty Kathies by you! Wow...that put me right back there and I thoroughly enjoyed it. That was some crazy shit! I see myself going a little ill at a couple points in there.
Some guy, who appeared out of nowhere, kept pushing me and elbowing me during Cobra. He told me I was "the most annoying person in the entire place" b/c I was dancing so hard. Clearly he had never seen a Cobra before (and neither had I!!) I believe I turned around and said "If you touch me one more time during the Cobra I will punch you in the effin face!" He must have been scared of me b/c he left :) I'm a lover not a fighter...but don't mess with me when I'm in the zone!!!

I was on the rail - (first time!) - and that all went on right in front of me. :dankk2:

I was one off the rail in front of Poochie...and this is exactly why my husband and my brother don't feel the need to be right there with me...LOL! They hang for a bit but not for all. They let me have my moments with Jim when they go back to chat with our posse. Buh-bye!!!
:dankk2: for sure!!!

SWEET JESUS! :o this show was a barn burner end to end!
quote of the night, as the band began playing dondante rizzo's girl leaned over and said, "i think they're trying to kill me."
so many crazy surprises in the set list! when they started the intro to cobra i hollered. then hollered more. and hollered again between throwing down quality dance moves.
MIND BLOWN.
SOCKS ROCKED OFF.
HEART FULL.
HATS OFF TO YOU, GENTS!
and now: going for first coffee of the day. :coffee:
show bonus: so many old pals in attendance last night it felt like old home week. danz, i made it out of the show without any injuries!
more thoughts to come. you know i've got notes. ;D
Notes. Want them. Now.
As great as this night is here, I would still have rather been there.
I just can't believe I got to hear If All Else Fails, IWSYS, Heartbreakin Man and Cobra.
I think they're going to be breaking out different gems every night and then play just about everything at MSG.

I also have about 30 seconds of At Dawn.
At Dawn:
My Morning Jacket At Dawn [clip] 12.2.11 Bill Graham Civic Auditorium (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGWVPUHKPXY#ws)
And about 30 seconds of the back of my head! ;D
I feel like that kid in So I Married An Axe Murderer...it's like an orange on a toothpick...it's like Sputnik!

Could it be, beside your bed? ;D ;D ;D
I love a sassy Jim shaking his stuff. Obviously knows how to give his female fanbase what they want. :embarassed: I think I would have melted into a big puddle had I been there. Oh, please bring that sass to MSG!

crispy, will comply tomorrow night from the hairport. can't do it now b/c i am drunk and in a hotel room with a friend trying to get some sleep. :beer:
but i offer you this: get ready oklahoma! (begin your limbering exercises and neck rolls now)
the reason i got to see this show is b/c i am in san francisco for a memorial service this weekend. a friend of mine passed away a few weeks ago. this weekend is our chance to get together and love him and miss him as a group. he had cancer for 2 years. tonight my oldest pals from college and i spent time together. my friend, wife of the friend who died described her push for them to travel the last year of his life. she asked him, "what are we waiting for?" and i thought, "but exactly."
i mention this b/c that particular line from "smokin" resonated so deeply for me: i made a seismic shift in my life about 8 years ago that amounted to my asking myself that very question.
[i did mention earlier in this post that i'm drunk, right?]
crispy, your cabin and environs were invoked several times during the evening. POWERFUL STUFF! :thumbsup: :coffee: <-- amazing coffee from that place in boulder

I missed you walterfredo! I was in front of carl with the gang, where were you positiomed?
We were in the back right by the soundboard. We raged the pit in LA, but chilled in the back in SF. I got to have my dancing room, and just can't do the rail thing at GA shows. Had a blast though. LA show was great....SF was fanfreakingtastic!

I was apprehensive about the rail thing, too. Especially in a place like Bill Graham Civic. However, the crowds at MMJ shows are some of the most polite that I've ever experienced. There was no raging in this pit, at least where I was. I had a blast standing right in front of Jim. My original plan was to sit in the balcony, but when they let us soundcheck partiers in before everybody else, that plan went out the window.

Here is one of the videos I took last night.
I just watched your video of One Big Holiday and it is so great!
MMJ @ Bill Graham Civic 12/2/11 - One Big Holiday (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7cd4xWPrck#ws)
I love when you pan the crowd and everyone is dancing, and Jim's dance moves and kicks during his guitar solo (starting about 4:05) are just priceless! ;D
Thanks jaye! I absolutely love watching the crowd when they play OBH. I had a really good vantage point and it's awesome to see such a great crowd. It's an incredible amount of good energy flowing and makes me really happy to see everyone on the same wavelength like that. Jim's dance moves were pretty cool too!

Sounds like you had a very nice remembrance for your friend, and I also identify very well with that seismic shift idea. Glad to hear of the lingering sensations from Colorado, and looking forward to more notes!

I'm going to chime in on that seismic shift as well. Some people tell me I'm having a midlife crisis. I reply that it is an awakening!
I'll ask it here too...Is the signed soundcheck poster the show poster or a differnt one all together?

And about 30 seconds of the back of my head! ;D
I feel like that kid in So I Married An Axe Murderer...it's like an orange on a toothpick...it's like Sputnik!
"He's gonna cry himself to sleep tonight on his wee pillow!"
I was keepin' it chest high on the At Dawn vid, but, yeah, there were times when you were just perfectly blocking my view of Jim. lol
Did anyone else hear that guy who kept yelling "JIM JAMES" on repeat during every slow part of any song or quiet part in between songs? Wonderful -> Dondante he was obviously completely bored...except for Off The Record. Yeah, he's one of those douche Z fans. Before yelling "Jim James" he kept yelling "LAY LOW, play LAY LOW. LAY LOW. LAAAAAAAY LOOOOOOOW. LAY LOW!!" He couldn't handle Golden, or I Will Sing You Song and definitely couldn't handle Moving Away. Jesus, it was terrible...right at the very end where there's that silent part before the band kicks back in and Jim goes into those angelic closing vocals, this fuckin' ass monkey yelled, in the middle of the song, "JIM JAMES!". You simply had to laugh at the fucker. You know, I was thinking of the whole irony of the name Jim James...a name he once created so it would be easier for people to pronounce... turned into more of a plague Friday night. There was a couple of times Jim noticed it and kind of laughed at the idiot yelling his name. I kept thinking it was why he didn't address the audience all that much...like he didn't want to encourage the behavior. You notice...Jim only bantered once and said some stupid bullshit about all the people in SF being beautiful. Usually he says something about how beautiful the venue is...but he obviously wasn't going to say that about the Civic - god, there is NO charm to that concrete hole. It did sound great though...they've really done a lot of work on the acoustics in that place the last couple of years.
Other than that...what a show! My newbie friends thought it was a little "slow"...which it was....I guess. I don't really think of that shit when I'm at a Jacket show...but friday must have been a little tiresome for the fans really love Z -> Circuital. That whole middle section of Wonderful, At Dawn, IWSYS, Golden, Heartbreakin (not a slow song but a song none of them knew) and then Smokin', Moving Away and Dondante...did kind of drag a little bit...as in drag I mean to say, made my panties wet. But you could tell a lot of the non Jacketeers were losing attention a little. I guess you could call it a "heady" set. Thank god I ate some shrooms before...that was FUN!
I've never seen the band play so loose though. So many awesome little jams before and after and in the middle of songs. What the fuck was that little guitar breakdown in Golden? How about that awesome little Carl jam before Touch Me? Jim vocals at the end of Wordless caught me off guard for sure. That awesome interlude before Off The Record?! How about his chanting to the folk gods after "Wonderful"? That was sooo fuckin' beautiful!
Also, I've never seen the band, ie JIM, act so theatrical. It's more than a rock and roll song now. During Touch Me there was that part where he was acting like a Frenchman smoking a cigarette seducing a woman. The pancho during Cobra. Lots of spinning and dancing and squiggling around. The band used to huddle around the drum kit and rock the fuck out...now, they all seem in their own zones, putting on their own show within the whole big show. It sure was a blast to watch. SUCH a blast!
Complaint: What the FUCK was going on with those screens during Dondante. They looked like SHIT. It distracted me so much. It just looked like a projector moving dots around on some screens in a chaotic fashion. Did anyone else notice this? I'll try to find video of it...it was, for a lack of a better word, unprofessional. Luckily the music on point, as always. Fuck those screens...those screens suck. The visuals during Im Amazed look like a 1990's computer golf game. The only one that's cool is the Z Wordless Birds and the lanterns during Smoking...other than that, they provide nothing to the show. They should invest in a real light rig and just travel with that...they don't need screens - screens are for people who either have art that is choreographed with the music (Tool) or for bands who music is so mediocre that they need screens to make up for their lack of talent (Kings Of Leon).
-See ya'll soon. Danz, nice to meet you man.
This setlist is just silly....praying for something like this in NYC
I totally just had a flashback of that old dude (and I'm old, so I can say that) pulling a Widespread Panic in the middle of the floor! TAPING HIS SHEET DOWN. In the middle of the floor. And laying down for a read. WTF???
I need better video of COBRA. My memory is already failing. Those moves Jim was throwing down. I hope you MSG peeps get a taste of that. Because it was awesome.

Hope to see the whole family sometime next tour, including Baby MMJ. :beer:

;D Well done Danz. :thumbsup:
eric - I'm so glad to have seen you again too! What a great show to share together. Too bad we didn't have a smidge more room on the rail for you! It was getting pretty crowded up there. We lost about 24" due to some drunk crashers. boo. Still, it was prob my second favorite show ever, after NYE 2008. :thumbsup:
(Oh, I forgot about Carl's pick! I wonder where I put it..... :embarassed:)

I've been swooning over the poncho pics. Jay's awesome...super nice guy to everyone all the time. Just a really great dude. He's always got carte blanche. Same thing at High Sierra this summer. Everyone else was shut down a few songs in and he was there all night (even snapped a few of my friend and me riding the rail!) ;)

here's a much better vid of the madness that was Cobra!!!
My Morning Jacket - Cobra live @ Bill Graham Civic, SF - Dec 2, 2011 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5VaerkzBq0#ws)
in Cinci earlier this year, Jim was bustin out some dance moves in Cobra. it was awesome.
The view from that video is nice because you can see more of Patrick during the song. Thanks for putting this up there for us. It's nice not to have to hunt things down all of the time.
No sign of a taping, eh? I really wanna hear that Dondante again! It was the most intricate, rocked-out version ever! Maybe someone filmed it?
Hey danz,
Any chance that extra poster is still available? Would love to purchase it. Please let me know.
Thanks

This needed to be revisited. I'm thinking of taping down for #CortezinPlaya.
[EDIT: Kidding, I have a "No Taping Down" policy.]
