Title: Jim James @ Crystal Ballroom, Portland, OR 5/14/13
Post by: johnnYYac on May 15, 2013, 08:16 AM
I checked and there was no thread started for this show.  Seems most of our old forum pals from the Northwest have stopped visiting the forum much these days...

I hope they had a good time.  I've seen some pictures and the setlist on Facebook, so I know a bunch of folks went, though it was not packed/sold out.  Setlist looked pretty standard, though not sure what songs were done during the initial "acoustic" part of the encore set.

Details?  vespachick?  smhoffman?  Bueller?  Bueller?  Bueller?

Oh, I think they still visit the forum. In fact, I see some familiar names at the bottom of the main page right now.

I must admit that I rarely check the forum anymore, maybe for a few minutes every couple of weeks. That does not mean I don't love MMJ or it's fans but that I have competing priorities.  Was at the show and had the reoccuring joy that getting my JJ on and s seeing Vespa at shows.  Show was amazing.  He always seems to surprise and blow me away with his endless imagination and wildly different influences.

Miss all you guys - band and forum.

Awesome show. I was pleasantly surprised (was expecting more mellow, but it was actually very funkadelic) and very glad we made the trip up from the Bay Area. The crowd was a tad on the reserved side, but Jim and his band had great energy. Nice room too, plus easy to get drinks and use the head. Got a kick out of seeing Jim blow the sax.
Ran into Jim outside the bar a couple hours after the show. He indulged us with a few photos. I can't figure out how to add to post.
I love Portland and its many accommodating drinking establishments. Worth paying the hangover price!

any direction toward dvd authors and/or a MMJ 'archivist' would be much appreciated.
