Wordless, while not one of my favs, was the highlight of the show in Hartford for me.  They sounded great on that one.

Glad to see Masterplan making it back on this setlist.

There were a ton of tapers and I saw a dude video taping the whole show. This show was a classic...maybe they're set of the whole year so far.

Those refinery pics on there are really cool.  It reminds me of a Dark Tower painting in a Stephen King book I like.  Nicely done.  (Oh and great shot of Jim's tatoo as well)  I might use that one on one of my live boot covers if you don't mind.  Personal use only.

For Sure....What show?? Maybe hook a brother up. We should start a trading thread. Over at the Ween Forum. People give away shows for nothing. We can start a good community here I think

I downloaded from the second link listed in this thread.  Lowdown and Off the Record are on the same track.   Looks like the first link has each song separately tracked.

Sounds great, though! CHeers!

And awesome photos, cochese!  I really dig the flying V closeup>

Smoking solo on OTR playing as I'm typing this!

Having spent the past few weeks filling the opening slot for Pearl Jam, this would be the band's first festival gig of the season, before also appearing at Bonnaroo and High Sierra. With a presence that commands the audience's attention, Jim James bounded about the stage wailing on his instrument as his hair flung about his bearded face. Creeping into their set with their opening tracks from 2001's At Dawn, Jacket showcased compelling vocal abilities with "Low Down." Drawing from the band's acclaimed 2005 album Z, they performed excellent versions of "Off the Record," What a Wonderful Man," and "Wordless Chorus." Seen sprinting up the muddy slope to the concert field, Grace Potter found her way to the front and joined the audience for one of the most impressive rock 'n roll shows of the weekend.

What an awesome show!  I officially declare this THE best version of Don Dante... until I hear the Boston Pops  version.

First off, the crowd was surprisingly small.... way too small for MMJ, plus there was a lot of hating by other people... usually the jam band audience is very open to MMJ, but then again the Mule is more shall we say "hardcore jam"
Title: Re: Mountain Jam- Hunter, NY
Post by: COCHESE on Jun 09, 2006, 03:59 PM
give that crowd about 10 years to get what MMJ does. They'll all say they love'm.

just listened to the show--IT'S THE OLD DONDANTE!!!! Good to have it back!!! New one is amazing, but nothing can touch the classic Dondante

Post by: tomEisenbraun on Jun 11, 2006, 03:22 PM

Listen to the one from Chicago in April. You'll hear.
New one is more majestic. Old one puts the fear of god into your heart and causes complete and utter musical shock.
Title: Re: Mountain Jam- Hunter, NY
Post by: tomEisenbraun on Jun 11, 2006, 05:06 PM
are we talkign mainly about the solo after the chorus and the way it gets treated? where the old one is more spastic and makes everything inside you want to just turn inside out and explode? the new one gave me the same thing, if i remember correctly. i just remember being even more blown away by thed solo at the rites of spring. maybe it wasn't as spastic though.

is that the kind of difference though?
Title: Re: Mountain Jam- Hunter, NY
Post by: MyLifeISought on Jun 11, 2006, 06:11 PM
I'm talking about the way it's completely reworked up until the solo before "you had me worried"--longer, more complex, less eerie intro, all that sax...
Title: Re: Mountain Jam- Hunter, NY
Post by: doEVILslittle on Jun 11, 2006, 07:35 PM
i don't hear any major changes, maybe if you could pinpoint which parts have changed the most?

EDIT: this particular ending solo kicks my ass and does remind me of when i first heard don dante last May at the WXPN show.

only downside was carl's sax wasn't working too well and he was definitely not happy about it. He did get it working by the end and i hardly even noticed cuz i was too blown away by this new song performed 10 feet in front of me.

So is this what you're referring you when you say old....like kind of a vauge but more personal difference? or.....
Title: Re: Mountain Jam- Hunter, NY
Post by: marktwain on Jun 11, 2006, 08:26 PM
The "old" version is more spare - simpler drum part, no soloing before the vox come in or between verses.  I feel like that simplicity gives the vox & lyrics more emphasis, and gives the song more power.

It really sucks you in and makes you pay attention, so that when "You Had Me Worried" hits, it hits HARD.  I get goosebumps every time.  Seriously.  This song is a masterpiece.

The "new" version (the Northwestern U. version) is still beautiful, but I don't think it's as powerful.  I think it would probably be received better than the "old" version would at shows where the audience is not really there for MMJ.  I can imagine folks who haven't been converted to MMJ yet talking all through the old, quieter version, and maybe the new version was meant to keep their attention.

oh shit ok, i listened to the NorthWestern U version and I understand now. that tower theater version is still my favorite, only because i was there for one of the first times it was ever played live

It is the old Dondante but different.  Subtle, but different and I'm not sure but I challenge anyone to find one longer.
