is the real deal when it comes to live performances.  Listening to disc 2 was such a powerful experience to me and the energy that they bring is unmatched by anyone.  I love this band ;D

You needed Okonokos to find that out? You need to go see them live YOURSELF then! It's even more intense when your shit faced 20 feet from JJ rocking your face off.

JJ makes me shitfaced all the time. Especially during OBH, Lay Low, and Off The Record.

Right on! You know a friend of mine and I were talking about our first live MMJ experience. Without question in the top 3 "first time" seen shows of my life. I am old. I have been to a lot of shows. These guys can make you see your higher power!  8-)

I recently listened to Okonokos after having not played it for a while.  

I do most of my listening via my car's CD player while driving around, and I remember moving Okonokos out of my car because I was fumbling with the double disc case too much and not putting them back and the CDs themselves were getting scratched and wrecked.  Silly and stupid, I know - point is, it had been a while.

Pure magic.  Absolute, sheer and utter musical brilliance.  Words simply do not exist to do justice to the awesomeness that flows forth from my speakers as Okonokos plays, like some sort of two hour spell being weaved over me by five powerful and benevolent wizards.
