sweet, thanks for keeping up on this man. maybe Riny can stick it to the top somehow or link it like he did 2005 right inside the 2006 thread.
Have they ever played How Do You Know live?
QuoteHave they ever played How Do You Know live?
Yes, i saw it in chicago a few years back.
QuoteHave they ever played How Do You Know live?
According to my records, they only played it one time in '05 and zero times in '06. That one time was in Columbia, MO on 11-21-05. This show is not available as far as I know.
However, Toronto 5-28-04 is one of my favorite shows, it's on the archive and it includes How Do You Know? and How Could I Know?
But since there is no post for '04 setlists. How Would You Know? ;)
Those last two paragraphs made my head spin.
http://www.magnix.demon.nl/mmj/archive/live.htm
Here's a link to all mmj shows pre '05.
No stats though and using the search won;t weild any meaningful results.
Nice! I have been to that site but I never noticed that part. Thanks!
What do you guys think of the likeliness of them playing Weeks Go By Like Days anytime soon.
thanks for posting this, very convenient. I'm going to cleveland and i have to keep checking the setlists as i await my turn and i can't believe how good the setlists are so far. i have yet to hear "the bear" live or "phone went west". i love that jam at the end of phone went west so i am hoping to hear at least one of the two at cleveland. "nashville to kentucky" is also my favorite MMJ song and i really hope to hear that one, glad to see that in the steady lineup.
anyone have a set list for the show at the Pageant in Saint Louis on 11/20 yet?
Quoteanyone have a set list for the show at the Pageant in Saint Louis on 11/20 yet?
This is my post from the "St. Louis- The Pageant" thread.
Can you help me with the location of Butch Cassidy and Tonight I Want 2 Celebrate?
Wow. I am speechless. Here is the setlist as best as I can remember. I am pretty sure it is complete but I forgot where a couple songs fit in. Please help me!

They also played Butch Cassidy and I think Tonight I Want to Celebrate which gives us 21 total songs. I can't remember where these two fit. If somebody that got a setlist can please help.
Anyway, what a blast. It was going to take a lot to live up to my expectations and they delivered. The sound was fantastic. I had a spot on the floor right in front of Carl, which put a bit further away from Jim than I wanted to be but I could easily run back and forth to where my heifiweisen was waiting for me. I also had a nice view of Patrick. Bo had the coolest light show going on behind him most of the night that gave him a great effect of just looking like a blacked out shadow all the time. But the night belonged to two tone. Seeing him slap that bass up close gave me a new appriciation of him. They don't show enough of him in OKONOKOS so this was a real treat.
The music was unbelievable. From those first notes of At Dawn to the last jam on Anytime I was mesmerized. Off The Record just rules live. The middle part of the outro on this song along with the stepped up light show is so friggin' Floydian I could hardly take it. My first Phone Went West. The jam at the end wasn't as long as maybe Austin for example but it was sick none the less.
Dondante was pretty typical but Jim did add some louder guitar parts during Carl's sax at the end. It blended great together but I think I like it better with just the sax and the little soft repetitive guitar strokes that Jim usually does.
OBH and Run Thru to rock our socks off at the end of the set!
I was expecting some soft numbers to lead off the encore and they didn't dissapoint. I most wanted to hear By My Car and Steam Engine. I didn't get Steam but By My Car was chilling. I teared up a bit. There was a girl next to me for Ran/Car/Golden and we kept looking at each other with this wow look on our faces, and high fiving. We were both feelin' it and it was a special moment between fans. I wish I could remember her name.
Golden had a bit of cool little change at the end and Mahgeetah was just unbeleivable. I take this song for granted to often. The crowd was fantastic, from belting out wordless to jumping up and down for Mahgeetah.
I got to meet Tenn and one of her good friends that travelled an hour and a half from the fine state of Illinois. Rock on girls! Nice to meet you guys. Tenn and I bought our merch together. Moon shirt for me, OKONOKOS hoodie for her! Cheers Tenn!
Wax Fang was everthing I expected and more. I will be looking out for more of these guys. I highly suggest getting to the show on time to see these guys.
Sorry for the long post but I needed to get this down on paper to document my wonderful evening.
My throat is dry, my head hearts, I'm tired and queezy but I have never felt better in my life!
Long Live The Jacket!
Jimisms:
Jim said he wanted to go to the city museum but it was closed on Sundays. He said he heard that it was like "somebody got a truck full of concrete and 50 hits of acid and went crazy"
Instead he said they went up in the arch. He said he loved the arch. He called it a "steel rainbow form hell!" He loved the idea that it would still be there after us humans had all killed each other and the dinasours were back!
Does anyone know if "I Think I'm Going to Hell" and "Hopefully" were solo at the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas on Thursday?
(sorry if someone has already answered this)
I'm going to be really sad if they were and I missed it. :( That stream on here of Hell is my favorite thing ever.
Not sure about Hopefully, think it was solo (most of the solo stuff had Carl on slide guitar off to the side), but I think I'm going to Hell was with the full band, and it was great.
I don't think the Enchore for Thursday Gypsy Tea Room is Correct, I thought for sure it ended with Run Thru followed by Anytime which was the end of the show. I'm 100% certain.
Anyone?
I am excited for the Philly show. It is great that they are starting to play Honest Man this tour. It is by far one of my favorite songs and I have yet to hear it live. I can only imagine how they will extend this song, hopefully I won't have to imagine for long. :)
"They Ran" at the Austin show was kickass, thanks so much for posting the setlists!
Now if they were just easier to read/find.
QuoteWhat do you guys think of the likeliness of them playing Weeks Go By Like Days anytime soon.
I've been asking for that one since March 20, 2002, and they haven't done it again yet (that I know of). It was played on the (I think this is correct) 4/16/00 show in Holland or Denmark (one of the best-sounding early shows, by far).
Low Dog
Going into tonights big show, I thought I would post a few interesting statistics based on the tour so far after the first 10 nights. Only 10 shows so far and this is what they havn't played yet from their four studio albums!!!!!
Z
Into the Woods
Knot Comes Loose
ISM
Masterplan
One In The Same
AD
Death Is The Easy Way
Just Becuase I Do
If It Smashes Down
Strangulation
TF
If All Else Fails
It's About Twilight Now
Evelyn Is Not Real
War Begun
Picture Of You
I Will Be There When You Die
Not to mention that they have also played, Tonight I Want To Celebrate With You, Sooner and O Is The One.
All together they have done 39 different songs.
No covers so far, just like OKONOKOS.
Also, I don't remember anyone mentioning this but when they played two nights in Dallas they played 21 songs both nights. Of these 21 songs only 12 were repeats! Those 12 were the 8 "Z" songs and the other old standbyes, Mahgeetah, OBH, Run Thru and Golden. So basically, they didn't repeat a single song except the songs that are pretty much locks on a nightly basis. So if you went to both shows you got to see 30 different songs! Out of 39 played so far!(Lucky SOB's).
They have played the same 8 Z songs everywhere except Knoxville which got only 7 minus It Beats 4U.
So far they have opened with At Dawn 3 times, It Beats 4U twice, The Bear, Nashville to KY, The Dark, OBH and one unknown (New Orleans)
I hate to sound like a broken record but if anyone can help with the detail of New Orleans and St. Louis it would be helpful. If you are blessed with getting a setlist after a show, I think it's your responsiblity to share with the rest of us. Rock Law.
So how many more of those 14 songs from the big four albums do you think we can knock out over the rest of the tour? I'm thinking 6 more songs, plus maybe a Sooner, a Where To Begin and a How Could I Know?
What would you like to hear most from the remaining 14 songs. Do you think the tour bus contains a banjo?.......
Good post!
I would have loved to have heard Oxen during one of the two Dallas shows and the Austin show. The Acoustic Citsuoca version of Sooner is so good that I can live with just listening to that.
Alright...just in from night 1 at the 9:30 Club. I started out keeping a setlist on my phone, but that got to be a drag, so I asked for a setlist on my way out. =) corrections welcomed:

for my first show, i thought things went pretty well. jim busted 2 strings late in the first set and something went really wrong on carl's side of the side at the start of lay low. good thing that drum beat is on a loop. =) they got everything together and it rocked. not too much chatter from jim, though we were thanked for coming out on a monday night instead of "staying home and watching seinfeld or some shit..." I think that's pretty close to what he said.
show started around 9:35 and I was in my car at 11:30 after it ended. the sound was OK...i thought it was a bit muddy. but, i was right back at the sound board under an over hang, so it may have been just right every where else. the crowd was OK...not too many tobacco smokers in my area, some guys got tossed for lighting up non-tobacco, not many dancers as is typical down here in DC. =( That didn't stop me though.
Alright...time for bed and a few too many meetings later today before heading back to the 9:30.
Great show at 9:30.
My friend and I were speechless basically on the way home. My Morning Jacket owns live, hands down. Period. The End.
I was very front row in front of Jim. Tommorow I want to be front row again.
I agree, not many dancers, and what not, a little awkward if your the band playing and seeing a bunch of blank stares and nodding heads. Doesnt mean they arnt enjoying it though. Some of my friends stand like rocks at rock shows but after the show won't shutup on how much it rocked.
I was rocking out though as much as possible without knocking too many people down.

for my first show, i thought things went pretty well. jim busted 2 strings late in the first set and something went really wrong on carl's side of the side at the start of lay low. good thing that drum beat is on a loop. =) they got everything together and it rocked. not too much chatter from jim, though we were thanked for coming out on a monday night instead of "staying home and watching seinfeld or some shit..." I think that's pretty close to what he said.
show started around 9:35 and I was in my car at 11:30 after it ended. the sound was OK...i thought it was a bit muddy. but, i was right back at the sound board under an over hang, so it may have been just right every where else. the crowd was OK...not too many tobacco smokers in my area, some guys got tossed for lighting up non-tobacco, not many dancers as is typical down here in DC. =( That didn't stop me though.
Alright...time for bed and a few too many meetings later today before heading back to the 9:30.
That acoustic song was Bermuda Highway, the first song of the Encore.
my face totally hurts from smiling so much.
couldn't believe it was over when it was and definately cannot wait until tomorrow night.
thought dancefloors was epic.
Yeah, I rocked out pretty nice for most of the songs but once DanceFloors hit the orgasmic rock out part of the song, I was feeling mighty happy all over.
Anyone notice the funny moves Jim was doing and crazy Skeletar boots he was wearing?
During one of the last song, I forget, he was doing high kicks during the accents of the song. Hilarious.
lol! jim was doing the snake. and yes the boots were nuts.
i thought it was an excellent show. the sound wasnt as clear as the last time they played 930, but i thought this show rocked a little harder.
those boots were great. thought they were just funky moon boots at first but my friend was convinced they were some sort of skeleton thing. when we got up front we saw she was right.
i was curious if they were something he'd been sporting most of the tour??
i think the kick moves were during magheetah...thought an audience member was gonna get a skeletar boot to the face a couple of times.
The "stand still crowd" is tough to get used to and I've been down here for a couple of years now. On the flip side, I thought the crowd was very attentive--very little talking. They were into it...just not physically so. :)
I couldn't see the boots from the back of the room. Maybe tonight I'll get there for the start of the Slip so that I can get a rail spot. I'm very tall, so I tend not to hog vertical space near the front of the room for too long. I can see pretty well from the back. :)
QuoteI agree, not many dancers, and what not, a little awkward if your the band playing and seeing a bunch of blank stares and nodding heads. Doesnt mean they arnt enjoying it though. Some of my friends stand like rocks at rock shows but after the show won't shutup on how much it rocked.
I was rocking out though as much as possible without knocking too many people down.
i'll be there tonight, moving as much as i can...was it cramped? 930 can get a little hot n nasty when its too crowded.
It was nice, but i guess I had breathing room in front. It looks a bit crowded when I glanced backwards. It has to be a million times better than the Virgin Festival. That was hell.
QuoteGoing into tonights big show, I thought I would post a few interesting statistics based on the tour so far after the first 10 nights. Only 10 shows so far and this is what they havn't played yet from their four studio albums!!!!!
Z
Into the Woods
Knot Comes Loose
ISM
Masterplan
One In The Same
AD
Death Is The Easy Way
Just Becuase I Do
If It Smashes Down
Strangulation
TF
If All Else Fails
It's About Twilight Now
Evelyn Is Not Real
War Begun
Picture Of You
I Will Be There When You Die
Also, I don't remember anyone mentioning this but when they played two nights in Dallas they played 21 songs both nights. Of these 21 songs only 12 were repeats! Those 12 were the 8 "Z" songs and the other old standbyes, Mahgeetah, OBH, Run Thru and Golden. So basically, they didn't repeat a single song except the songs that are pretty much locks on a nightly basis. So if you went to both shows you got to see 30 different songs! Out of 39 played so far!(Lucky SOB's).
What I would give to hear Knot Comes Loose!!! It is one of favorite songs, and I am keeping my fingers crossed for the second night at the 9:30 Club. I know its unlikely because I don't think they have ever played it in concert, and I would imagine another old song before another one from 'Z'. So far they have not let anyone down on this tour. Last night was just sick! I know tonight is going to rock as well!

They've played KCL before (not this tour) but they've played it. They played the entire Z album front to back the second show in Philly 2005.
For serious?! thanks for giving me a little more hope!
I fucking love this band!!!
Got there early, front row, against the barricade, and ended up being in the perfect position near Jim James' setup on the right. Jim James was rockin' out literally inches from me! Their show is just meant to be experienced. It's God damn religous. That was my second MMJ show, with many more to come.
I have to say the crowd up front was pretty into it, but the back and balcony looked pretty lame. If you want to really feel the energy, get there early! It's worth it. I was loosing my shit many times, especially during the mentioned "orgasmic rock out part of dancfloors."
The encore was mindblowing. I Think I'm Going to Hell and ending with Run Through ... it was intense. The damn whole show was mindblowing! I wish I could be there tonight. I missed Steam Engine. For another time I suppose ...
And SouixTribe, I think I met you. I had the Bonnaroo '06 shirt on. May we meet again at another jacket show.
The 9:30 show was awesome! I wish I could be there tonight. I was also right next to the stage on Jim' s side and it was very intense for me. I hardly stopped dancing the entire time. I absolutely loved the boots and his funky moves! I think Lay Low was the highlight for me, but the entire show rocked! Looking forward to Philly! :D
Ok. Nothing that I can type would even come close to tonight's show. All that I can say is that I believe. I am wearing the Jacket. I am wearing the Jacket.

NO joke, no description necessary for me. i was dancing my ass off crammed near the bar on the right.
i know run thru is epic by nature buuuuuut this one takes the cake for me. HOLY MOLY did they just play "they ran"? super sweet.
im smoked right now, body crumbling, mind shaking but its all good cause that show was dominant.
I LOVE MMJ.
MOther of God! I have never been so happy to get a ticket for a show. I bought mine yesterday off someone in Dupont. What a show, and for my second show ever I feel blessed! Off to nine hours of work... Thanks for the setlist.
One Love!
my neck is sore from DC night 1 :(
My brain is sore from two nights of sonic bliss. I love the 9:30 club, these 2 and Broken Social Scene are easily the best shows I have ever seen there.
I'm glad they're playing "Phone Went West" again.
There was no "It Beats 4 U" on 11/28 at 9:30 as previously stated.
Although did anyone hear them teasing it before the OBH Opener?
For sure.
You mentioned that there was no It Beats, which is correct, but was there something else in its place or will I have to wait till the shows are on etree to figure that one out?
Anybody happen to know the instument/device/thingy that Jim was playing during "Tonight I Want..."
I enjoyed both shows, but thought they were just more "on" the first night, seemed to be having fun, etc. Was really looking forward to finally seeing "Steam Engine" but was disappointed (especially the way it seemed to fall apart at the end)
The Mighty Jim James has become to powerful for 9:30. Those speakers can't handle his voice!!
UNCswim, i did meet ya man, always worht the drive from N.C.!!
They actually moved the stage a foot or 2 back the 2nd night.
I'm with you on your feelings about the first night. It was absolutly ill and last night seemed to be lacking some of the cohesion that the first had. Still, it was nice to get a few more oldies in that we didn't get to hear the first night. Overall though, I would say they didn't disappoint either night, especially if you got to go to both, the second night was a nice way to close it all out. Although I do feel bad for all those people who traded their Monday night tickets for Tuesday night tickets (saw a bunch of that on Craigslist).
I think the weak crowds in D.C. can really hurt such an energetic show like MMJ puts on. I am totally used to the blank stares and minor head bobbing, but its like everyone thinks they are too good to move their asses for a few hours and give into the music. It certainly wasn't like that when I saw The Roots and the Pharcyde a few months ago, people were all sorts of into it.
I'm going to agree that the first night was better, though i was in a much better mood and much better rested on the first night, so that might have had a bit to do with it.
I think my favorite part might have been watching Patrick playing in the strobe lights during the breack down in Run Thru. But getting to hear a good number of older songs was nice as well.
QuoteOn the flip side, I thought the crowd was very attentive--very little talking. They were into it...just not physically so. :)
On the second night i ended up spending the first part of the show behind some large guys who were talking about middle relievers for some baseball team. So i couldn't see and was too distracted by their talk. No worries though i ran back took a piss grabbed a beer and pushed my way up front. Made it to about 4 feet off the barrier. Though on the first night I was about 10 feet from Jim with a perfect view of the whole band jumping and screaming with all my might. I was totally loving life and made a few converts out of some friends too - there is just so much to be said for seeing MMJ live - it is how they won me over at first.
Just got back from the show at Roseland in NYC. It was amazing. The set list was as follows:
One Big Holiday
What a Wonderful Man
Gideon
The Way That He Sings
Off The Record (with amazing breakdown section)
Just One Thing
It Beats 4 U
Wordless Chorus
Lowdown
Lay Low

Run Thru
They Ran (full band)
Encore
Tonight I Want to Celebrate With You (Jim and Carl only)
Nashville to Kentucky (full band, including saxophone)
Golden
Steam Engine
Dancefloors
Mahgeetah
Anytime
They Ran as a full band is probably now my favorite live song.
i couldn't agree more! i love that song from the first time i heard it! When i saw that song pop up on set list for this tour i was praying to god they would play it at roseland.
it may have been the best song of the night. I'm curious however, does Jim sometimes sing it without the band

order and songs played should be correct.
Setlists and statistics are now complete.
hey red,they played HOW DO YOU KNOW the first time i saw them in North hamptom Mass I think it was peral street i still refer to it as the fall down song. Becasuse when they played it i fell to the floor it was that good.
Why don't they play "Evelyn is not real" anymore? One of my favs
Stats and setlists are now complete through NYE
Seems like the second night at the Filmore is a little short on songs compared to the other nights. Can someone confirm this?

That's awesome! I would've done the exact same thing.

Here's a link to all mmj shows pre '05.
No stats though and using the search won;t weild any meaningful results.
Well, this post is two months old, but just read it ...
It's a simple search engine, but if you would read the explanation how the search engine works, I'm sure you will get meaningful results! 8-)
While posting now, I would like to thank everyone involved in compiling the setlists since 2005, they were a big big help for expanding the showfinder!
Anyhow, I have plans to rewrite the showfinder sometime, but I don't know when it will be finished ...
Now I'm off again ...
