Nice, thanks for posting that! I was driving home thinking, hmm... I wonder what they played, I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow to find out.
Any special guests or anything?
looks nice, diggin the huge encore I really love that about this band. their encore is a fucking ENCORE
Just back from RCMH and I may get flamed for this. But the show was good, not great. There were definitely some real high points: Jim running up through the opera boxes, axe in his hand, (unfortunatlyl the light guy could never keep up!) was big. However, the show was kind of methodical for about the first half. The boys played well but the crowd was just kind of there. It really didn't erupt until wordless chorus. After that the boys OWNED the room. I would also say despite the length of the show, it felt unfinished. It was really just kicking when it ended...
Thanks for posting! Amazing set list...no fun covers though? & it would seem the War Begun petition fell on deaf ears ;)
the way that he sings and what a wonderful man could use a break if you ask me.
Quotethe way that he sings and what a wonderful man could use a break if you ask me.
I'd be in favor of swapping out The Way That He Sings for other At Dawn songs. I just don't want to lose even more of the old stuff. I like WAWM.
And no Remnants? Dang.
I just got back and completely agree with the sentiments of the fellow a few posts earlier. The first set was good but predictable. The final four song run was amazing. They could have thrown in a few other pre-Z tunes in the first set and also where are all those fun new covers? They learned them only for bonnaroo and what ny at MSG?
I enjoyed the show but those are my thoughts.

for sure, just get at least a little bit of rotation. those songs have been played it seems like at every single show, gets boring.
probably one of soon many but if you have an extra poster or selling it Pm me. Great show GlO sticks flying everywhere thought they play remnants too but still Amazing
definitely no remnants, I was waiting for it and it didn't come
Just got back, they played well but the show kinda sucked, I am officially done w/ RCMH. 1st The room is just too damn big, so big that people arent into the show and chatting loudly the whole time. Its the least intimate concert venue in NYC metro area. I saw Kings of Leon there last year and it was the same thing. They cant seem to involve people 2 football fields away? 2nd I missed 1/2 hour on beer line that had 7 people on it, that right 1/2 hour to serve 7 people. Then when its finaly my turn to order, ALL THE BEER IS WARM!!!! Sons of Bitches. Side note those glow sticks were stirrers for drinks they were giving away, although @ $12 a drink there not really giving away anything but I digress. This was my first MMJ show and I am very dissapointed. To be clear though not with the band. I hope to see them in a smaller venue in the future but that ship may have already sailed. :-[
the show was awesome! I loved hearing "the way that he sings". I could have also used a little more off "at dawn". I was bored with the new songs, to be honest. great show though. I got a $12 strawberry daiquiri that was delicious and I got to keep the "rockitini" glass that's stem was shaped like a rockette's legs. fuggin a!
ps
THANKS FOR THE TIX REENIE! It was also great meeting all the rest of you guys that came to Heartland!
:D
They played Gideon after Off the record.
Crowd was enthusiastic from close to the front. Was probably different in the balconies.
Thought show was great but wish it was a bit "funner" like what Bonnaroo sounds like it was.
As for RCMH, apparently no water for sale unless you purchase 2 $12 drinks.
.... You guys do realize that was Zooey Deschanel singing back up tonight, don't you?
That was cool 8-)
Awesome show! The energy on the floor was amazing! Everyone around me was singing along, it was beautiful. I couldn't leave for single second, not to take a piss, not to get a beer, I was way too into the show. The boys looked like they were having a lot of fun too, their energy translated really well into their performance. Thanks for the great night everyone! See you back in Cali! :)
p.s. We definitely had a taper in the house, can't wait to hear the recording!
The show was solid, I too would have liked less Z and more T Fire or Dawn. - Whenever they come around they put on a great show. They are worth the wait.
Did anyone see the kid on the rafters chasing Jim? I guess they are at that point now... scary.
Can't wait for Louisville!!!!

That is pretty cool! What all did she sing on?
I thought the show was great. Top 5 shows all time for me. The band simply kicked ass. This is the first time I've seen them in their own setting. Saw them open up for Pearl Jam in 2006, and last year at Lollapalooza.
That being said, I completely agree with the complaints about the Mezzanine/Balcony crowd. Through all but a handful of songs there was the nonstop talking that bounced off of the ceiling above. Lifelong New Yorker, and this was amazingly my first show at RCMH, and I loved the venue. The acoustics were amazing and the boys sounded great. If it weren't for that I would have been furious at the crowd around me. But MMJ and the Radio City venue made up for the lackluster crowd around me. I just don't understand how a show sold out so quick and the fans that got tickets were as interested in MMJ as they might be in a cheap cover band.
A+ for MMJ
A for Radio City
D for the balcony crowd
....kick fucking ass show....I wish they had played some of those covers that they played at Bonnaroo, but I am not complaining at all......had two newbies with me and they loved it......those girls that got on stage during One Big Holiday were great.....and how Jim went on those balcony things, he was right near me when he stayed up and played for a while and it was fucking awesome.....thank you guys......
my first MMJ show, not completely satisfied with the setlist (of all the "regulars" I was pretty bummed they didn't play Mahgeetah) but the band's performance itself was fucking on point
I was inches away from Jim during his solo in Lay Low, which, IMO, was the best song they did all night
Stoked The Bear was played......bummed on no other TTF songs
Phone Went West was awesome.....
everything was awesome....
first MMJ show, personally i thought it was incredible! I had such a great time!
yeah, during The Bear/Phone Went West/The Way That He Sings/Bermuda Highway, I saw waaaaaaaaay less people who knew the words. Definitely seemed like a lot of people there are Z and Evil Urges fans only
I said before that the crowd in the 1st Mezzanine with us sucked. And I could usually chalk that up to new fans who aren't into the old shit. But that wasn't the case. It didn't matter which album the songs came from, if it was mellow, it was an opportunity to talk with friends. I'm just glad that it didn't ruin the show for me. The show was great. But it could have been epic with the right enthusiasm.
hey all
new to the board but long time jacket fan
just got back from the show...it was incredible!!!
the sound was perfect, lights were incredible
the band was into it for sure and it showed
i personally loved tonights set list even if some of the older stuff was missing, the energy stayed high and it was a blast!
only complaint is i didnt get to snag a poster before they sold out :'(
cheers
.....they were a lot of people talking around my friends and I but honestly it usually bugs the shit out of me but the Jacket was in fine form and even my friend passing me a blunt wouldn't take my attention off what was happening.....
....not to harp on something negetive on such positive evening but why do people go to shows and talk.......these tickets were really hard to get and if you didnt get them before they sold out you probably had to pay a lot for them, so why not listen......you obviously wanted to go to this, why waste your money, just shut up please.......
......The Way That He Sings was fucking amazing and hearing The Bear live was a great Jacket moment......
Yeah on the 1st Mezz I felt like I was on the lawn of a Dave Matthews show. Lots of people more concerned with bear and chatting up their friends than the music. I would have liked to be in a section of people more into the show.
I say swap what a wonderful man for remnants

Now THIS is the attitude you people need
Sorry, Regular MMJ Concert Goers
If you go to see a band ALOT you will hear ALOT of the same songs
Also, you need to realize: Every time a band puts out a new album, that means new songs replace old songs in the set.
Just go and enjoy yourself.
Because for the people who had never seen MMJ before, it was probably the night of their lives.
I know it was one of mine.
And not only have I been going to concerts since before 3/4's of the crowd last night was even born .... I also own a concert promotion firm.
THAT is how amazing last night's show was ... Without cover songs ... Without a horn section ....
Just a great goddamn concert.
a lot of people complain that they play too much "new" stuff...but like i've said before, Z and EU are carl's and Bo's material. They had nothing to do with TTF, AD & ISM. This is the new chapter for MMJ and we should be lucky to be able to hear The bear, Burmudah Highway, The Way that he sings etc. thats all....
Amazing show....the band had amazing energy.......I was in the orch and the crowd was amazing....lot's of dancing, screaming, and singing along........couldn't hear myself talk if I tried.........MMJ is the best live act out there!!!!!!
seems like it was a pretty good playlist, it is the evil urges tour so you are going to hear a ton of songs from that cd. But as far as covers, that bonnaroo night was really something special, and i highly doubt will we see that kind of show again, maybe new years at msg but who knows.
I haven't read through this whole thread. First, I was in the very last row in the house (3rd mezz., row H). From there, I could see the whole place. Despite what some folks said earlier (and maybe there were pockets of disinterested folks), the crowd was way into the show from the get-go. The energy in the place was incredibly high, and I thought the venue was great.
I also thought the setlist was awesome. Of course they were goong to play all the new stuff; and they played it extremely well. I did have a ton of songs that I wanted to hear. I heard some, didn't get others, but because of the high intensity of the (it fucking rocked!), I walked out of there with nothing but appreciation for what I'd seen, despite no getting certain songs.
I am super excited for the DC shows at DAR, and that is arguably one of the worst venues on the east coast. This tour will be hot. The band seems excited.
QuoteYeah on the 1st Mezz I felt like I was on the lawn of a Dave Matthews show. Lots of people more concerned with bear and chatting up their friends than the music. I would have liked to be in a section of people more into the show.
I was in 1st Mez and agree..at times I felt like I was at a bar with a cover band (not a shot at band but a shot at the crowd). I tried to tune the chatty people out but on some of the slow jams it was hard. I love Jim's voice so much that it really bothers me when people just don't tune in an appreciate it.
All that said, I'm proud of the band and excited I got to share something special with them. They seemed really stoked to be playing RCMH.
Also, I saw the setlist before the show at the mixing board. Remants was on there but was scratched b/c of time issues. I saw in some earlier posts people were looking for that tune. Something else was cut from the Encore set but can't remember what it was.
As I sit here typing this I feel like I got beat up last night. I lost my voice, my shoulders and neck are killing me, and I got a bit of a headache going. I thought the show was incredible. Im sorry to hear the balcony crowd was less that ideal; it was insane on the floor. Everyone around me, and I mean everyone, was dancing and singing. Ive never encountered a friendlier vibe at a show in my life. People were friendly and polite to each other, and in between songs I got to know the people I was sitting around. All very cool people. I do agree that the guys seemed a little tighter with the new stuff but I think thats to be expected. I still thought it was awesome and some of the new songs were excellent, especially Touch Me Pt II and Highly Suspicious.
But when that encore started...holy shit. I was very, very excited to get Bermuda Highway and The Bear. Bermuda Highway, with Jim alone in the spotlight, was great. Although it was obvious that fewer people in attendance were familiar with the songs, they still got great ovations. Hopefully that will lead those unfamiliar to going back a little further and discovering the full breadth of the band. After they went into Wordless Chorus things really started to get crazy. People were dancing in the aisles, standing on their chairs, arms around each others shoulders belting out the lyrics. It was truly a beautiful experience. I could literally feel the floor rumbling under my feet. After Run Thru I caught one of the ushers screaming to the other that they were bringing more people down from the balcony in case things got out of hand. Specifically he said "Ive never seen this place so loud, these people are insane!" I dont know if he was talking about us or the band. Probably both. A fan relocated to the aisle next to me and was literally dancing his ass off. It looked like he was having a religious experience. The closing trio of Run Thru/Anytime/One Big Holiday shook me to the core. The fragments of memories are like a good trip; lights, sounds, and just a general great feeling. It was life affirming. As we were leaving the guy in front of us, who I had been talking with all night between songs unexpectedly gave me a big hug and said "I'll see you at New Years!" And while that might sound corny, it wasnt in the least. There was an incredibly strong sense of a binding shared experience that I find to be rare at concerts. It was beautiful. As we boarded the train to head back to Philly I was thoroughly exhausted.
The good times continued after the show. As people poured into the streets traffic was stopped for a good 20 minutes. People were hootin' and hollerin' and breaking into song. I made my way across the street to sit down, have a smoke, and let it all soak in and a complete stranger smiled at me and said "You look like I feel. That was the most incredible experience of my life". Little encounters like that followed throughout the rest of the night as we made our way to Jimmy's Corner for a few more beers. You would see a disheveled group of people with wide eyed gazes and big, goofy smiles and you just knew that they were at the show. People offered knowing nods and random comments like "That was incredible!" as our groups passed in the street. It was one helluva night.
***RUMOR***
Take with a grain of salt because I dont know him, but the guy in front of me said his friend was a music journalist who was covering the show last night, and he told me that the rumor is that M.Ward and Zooey Deschanel will be opening on New Years. He said it should be announced sometime in the next week.
What a night. I've got a huge bruise on my thigh I'm assuming came from crashing into seats while jumping around. I've got a headache, I'm tired, dizzy, sore, and happy as hell. To say this was the best concert I've ever seen doesn't do justice to what happened last night.
Also, as awesome as the band was last night, the fans were just as good. Friendly and genuinely happy to be there.
Wow.

Also.... there's definitely a recording of this show. Anybody else notice the mic on the 15 foot boom near the sound booth? I'm praying for an official release.
A few more comments:
I don't know if it's just cause I was finally seeing it live, but the performance of "Golden" was heavenly
Also, Patrick's drum solo at the end of Steam Engine was a life changing experience...
Another request for what songs Zooey Deschanel played on.
Say what you want ....
But when I realized I was standing with a bunch of guys I had never met before from SC, smoking and drinking and DANCING with no women around us to a big bearded redneck sining in a falsetto ....
THAT, ladies and gentlemen ... is rock and roll.
And to my boy from SC who got tossed by the Gestapo for smoking a cigarette ... We all felt your pain
Best part of the night for me was after "Touch ME" I said out loud "Damn! That made my dick hard!" and a guy in front me turned around and said "You, too?"
That's GOLD, Jerry! GOLD!! ;D
QuoteAnother request for what songs Zooey Deschanel played on.
yeah, I must have missed that.
Seriously amazing show. No complaining here. I can't believe how many MMJ fans were there, down on the floor people were singing the entire time. It suprised me that Wordless Chorus is such a fan fave, that was the biggest reaction by the crowd along with run thru, Lay Low, and OBH. After the show I loved the random screaming and applause that were breaking out amongst the crowd. I went with someone who's apartment we crashed at and he had never heard a song before, and after he was amazed at how genuine the band was and how happy they seemed to be there. Perfect description for me.
Caleb Followill of Kings of Leon was sitting in the orchestra behind me and he was loving it. SO that was a plus. The crowd on the orchestra kicked ass compared to balcony. Phone went west was epic. :)

Just a great goddamn concert.
i completely agree with the first timers concert. This concert was EPIC... an unreal show I just witnessed!
a couple thoughts on last night:
really great concert for me. i've seen them about 6 or 7 times and had heard most of the songs, but god, they just put on an excellent show time and time again. i brought my friend who had only heard a few mmj songs and doesn't really go to concerts. he was blown away. it was really fun to watch him get into it.
acoustics were great, though i should have brought ear plugs. i've got a little ringing today. venue was beautiful, but i was sitting close to the back in orchestra and during the slow songs people were talking a bit much for my taste. with bigger venues come the problems of bigger venues and larger crowds. to every turd who spent half the show sitting and using their blackberry: get a goddamn life and give the ticket to somebody who will enjoy the tunes. otherwise, i met a lot of nice folks who had come from all over the u.s. to enjoy the jacket.
musical highlights:
steam engine: i always seem to miss this one. this was my first time hearing it and it was incredible. loved every second. definitely in my top three mmj tunes, if not my alltime favorite.
the bear: amazing. also in my top three tunes.
bermuda highway: spotlight, that voice. perfect.
phone went west: it was funny, because a lot of folks started to sit at the beginning of this one because it's kind of mellow, but gradually the whole place started to get into the song and by the end everybody was rockin.
dondante/laylow/run thru: the usual suspects, but these seemed to be great versions to me.
off the record: usually don't like it, but this one kicked ass.
new tunes:
of the new tunes the one that really got me was Touch Me Part I. i loved the "i need a human, right by my side, untied" part at the end. the lyrics really hit hearing jim sing them live. wish we would have gotten remnants, but oh well, next time.
on posters: i got there early and managed to get a poster. it's really beautiful i think. i felt bad because a ton of people all night were asking to see it and were bummed to not have gotten one. definitely should limit it to one per person next time. it was kind of a pain in the ass to keep up with it all show because i didn't have a tube. one lady even tried to snatch it from me after the show! got it home in one piece and am looking forward to framing it.
just some initial rambling, i'll add more later....
....I don't think this got mentioned yet but the energy after the show when everyone was just freaking out in the lobby was amazing....proves what they do to people when they play live, I have never seen people so into the music after it was over.....MMJ, you guys did it again.....
.....I want to go back and hear Phone Went West again, my two friends that were with me don't know the music as well as I do and they both fell in love with that song and today my friend Joe told me he was listening to At Dawn.....success......
Phone Went West, has been and probably will remain my favorite live MMJ song, since the first time I saw them. I wish they would bring it back as a set closer, it always brought the house down. Still hearing it anywhere in the set is an absolute treat.
If you haven't listened to it back in like 2002-2003 though, I highly recommend it.
this evening was simply magical. I took several friends that knew the songs but never saw them live and they were blown away. I feel like this show served a different purpose almost, than Bonnaroo just a few days before. Bonnaroo was more of a party vibe almost seemed like a very different vibe somehow, this show was more of an intro the new album in front of a high profile audience. So the lack of covers was not a really big downer for me, but I am soooooo glad I got to Bonnaroo.
As for the crowd, I had these dudes with All Access passes in front of me, I suspect they were record company or press or something and almost every person that walked up and down the aisle was stopping and socializing with these guys. Don't know who they were but they got me stoned a lot, so I didn't complain about the distractions. ;)
As for the songs, top shelf performance and the climbing up the sides was the best, great the hear the Bear, and Dondante was un-freaking believeable.
QuoteSeriously amazing show. No complaining here. I can't believe how many MMJ fans were there, down on the floor people were singing the entire time.

Perfect description for me.
Unfortunately, this is what almost every NYC concert has become lately:
Johnny Come Latelys who know only the 2 most popular albums now buy tickets and come and talk all night and take pictures with their cell phones.
Radio City has become an absolute nightmare lately for every show I see there.
The last time I saw Ben Harper at RCMH, I must have had to tell every single slapnut in a 360 degree curve around me to shut the fuck up at least once.
I don't mean they were whispering "Ooo I love this song!", these were simply drunk rude upper middle class yuppies literally trying to talk OVER the band onstage.
I got news: No one has any right to make fun of Adrican-Americans talking in movie theaters, because white folks can be just as unthoughtful and inconsiderate.
I just want to speak up for the 1st Mezz. I was in Section 300 and I was thrilled with the energy around me, dancing non-stop. Were there some on-lookers? Sure, I'm not sure where you guys have been seeing the band, but this is the first time I've seen them in anywhere near that size. Last two were Roseland and Webster Hall.
Thought the acoustics were great, and it was a blast for Jim to have a bigger stage - he totally used it.
Sure I would've loved some of those covers that I only get to hear when someone posts them, but this was the best MMJ show I've ever been to.

ALL POINTS BULLETIN: I LEFT A BLUE ZIP-UP HOODED SWEATSHIRT AT THE VENUE LAST NIGHT, I WAS SITTING IN THE 700 SECTION IN THE ORCHESTRA ROW G SEAT 704 IT HAD A A WHITE LINING AND A PAPERCLIP AS A ZIPPER...I LOOKED AND THE HOODIE WASN'T IN THE RCMH LOST AND FOUND THE DAY AFTER THE SHOW.....IF YOU FOUND IT PM ME
and now some thoughts on the most epic journey that was that show:
zooey deschanel was definitely not on stage last night, at least from what i saw....but dear god the jacket was....steam engine left me shaking, i was so fucking frightened for my life because of how beautiful jim's voice sounded bouncing around the venue, as the regular set started it seemed more and more like it was following exactly what they played in canada...and i was completely alright with it because they gave their all on every song. then came the encore....dear god what an emotional rollercoaster....run thru and OBH I gave my all and by the end of OBH i had literally nothing left in me.....i was sitting in orchestra 7 row g and i apologize if i scared anyone by giving my all for everysong (or if i sweated on you)
I really wished i had remembered about the glowing drink stirrers at RCMH because we totally could have organized a glowstick war of sorts
It was my sister's first time seeing them besides seeing them open for pearl jam and she was completely blown out of the water (she took some pics ill post later)
the only complaint i have about the crowd is people leaving to get beers then coming back, or people sitting down for some songs
seemed next to me an older guy who was a huge fun brought his kid to the show. the son seemed to not even know a single song by the band, and his body language gave the impression that he was entirely unimpressed and he was sitting through almost the entire show with his feet up on the seat in front of him....thats the type of body language that tells me he never was going to be impressed so he shouldn't have bothered going....didn't really bother me at the moment, just in hindsight really, and it's the smallest thing to harp on, but c'mon!
once the show let out i also crossed the street and took it all in and as the crowd outside got bigger and bigger the mood got happier and happier and i turned to my sister and said, "the jacket fans have descended upon new york city....look out"
on the walk to the train to brooklyn to stay with a friend i heard some kids talking about how after hearing the EU songs live they're love for the album has really solidified, but they'd still rather hear more older stuff....it'sa the worst kind of catch 22 for a band and it's fans because even though you can really appreciate the band's progression with new albums and so on and so forth, you still like to keep the the songs they built their fanbase on...regardless of all this i had a blast and cant wait for the philly show in september and NYE IN NYC!!!

I was in 300 on the 1st Mez too, row G. The crowd around me mostly sucked as far as always hearing the murmur of conversation. There were three girls 2 rows ahead talking every time the volume was low enough for them to do so. I could easily tune it out and just focus on the band, and I did. But looking down at the orchestra and seeing people going absolutely nuts, made us realize just how much better the show could have been if people were as interested in MMJ as they were in having a conversation.
I wish I could blame it on new fans who just didn't care about anything prior to Z, but it was happening all night regardless of song. If it was mellow, they chatted.
the lobby after the show was electric.

I was on the ground and the energy around me was incredible. Can't speak for the mezz. The highlights were Phone Went West and Steam Engine. And the pre-show was great, it was loads of fun meeting everyone from the forum. :D
I had the most perfect timing... Yesterday at 3:00 exactly i walked my RCMH to make sure i knew where it was.... about a half block away i noticed!!!!
:) THE WHOLE BAND STANDING ON TOP OF THE RCMH SIGN GETTING PHOTOS!! :)
I ran over as fast as i could and Jim and the band waved as i made an ass out of my self yelling for them and then took a few phone photos.
The whole day just seemed that way for me, perfect timing.

Hey Dark. How did your dad take it?
Long time fan... new to the forum... friends are getting tired of me obsessing over the glory of the jacket. Figured I would be more welcomed here. Hope you all had a blast at the show sounds like it was fantastic. I was wondering if glow sticks were being tossed about and if so a good bit or just a few. I'm going to Louisville and am considering purchasing a good bit to get the energy flowing as well as some cool visual action.
o also.....jim was playing a nasty rickenbacker bass on two halves....cant believe that hasnt's been discussed here yet!!!
Quoteyeah, during The Bear/Phone Went West/The Way That He Sings/Bermuda Highway, I saw waaaaaaaaay less people who knew the words. Definitely seemed like a lot of people there are Z and Evil Urges fans only
Totally. I was psyched to hear phone went west , the bear and bermuda highway. For those who were at the Roseland Show last time they came into town, this was up there. Solid.
I wanna be a roadie this tour. I bet they can score some good drugs
QuoteCaleb Followill of Kings of Leon was sitting in the orchestra behind me and he was loving it. SO that was a plus. The crowd on the orchestra kicked ass compared to balcony. Phone went west was epic. :)
That's cool that Caleb was there. I remember some interview of their's that he and Nathan mention how much they love At Dawn. If I find it I will post it, it's pretty interesting.

a lot of glow sticks were getting tossed, lots of them were hitting people all around me and I got hit in the head once. I thought it was lame but soon became enveloped in the music!
I thought people were encouraged to not criticize anything.
I disagree.
If you didn't like the songs, say so. If you thought the show was predictable, say so. You were there. I'm glad to read your thoughts.
I may disagree, but one thing remains, We LOVe The JAcket!!!!!!
QuoteHey Dark. How did your dad take it?
Really enjoyed it. Off the Record and Gideon still his favorites, but he also really enjoyed Phone Went West, Bermuda Highway, and Evil Urges.

I saw her three times. On the way in, getting a beer, and on the way out.

I got her number .....
.... I called ... We went back to RCMH on Saturday night to see The Cure .....
.... But I decided she really wasn't pretty enough to see again ....
I thought one of the three back up singers on Conan might have been Zoey, it kind of looked like her, but I didn't see anybody but the band at RCMH. I was pretty drunk but not that drunk. Of course, if she was far stage left, I may not have had her in my view.

the Conan back up singers were hottt!
yeah...i didn't see anyone on stage but the band either and i'm sure if she was singing back up Jim would have thanked her or said something about her. if she was far left then i would not have seen her either.
BH...where were your seats? we were in Row OO to the far left.

I was like JJ or KK far left. You must have been just behind me. Did you see a guy that kept moving to the aisle because he just couldn't contain himself? That was me. I kept apologizing to the guy behind me for having to watch me freak out.
I was definately sorry I didn't get to see you. I thought I would run into you for sure.

I'm jealous of your front rowers, not saying that I didnt have a great time in the dead center of row P with my joint rolling friend and the kid we named Georgia, who i think was on extacy, i mean seriously I dont think I've had a better time at a concert, I've never been so lost in the music. but front rows... god thats an experience!
[/quote]And no Remnants? Dang.[/quote]
I have Carl's set list and Remnants is crossed off. Was supposed to be played after Aluminum Park.
Dancefloors was cut from the encore (I don't have the encore, but Ms. Yvon, can you verify where it was supposed to be?)

I believe it was supposed to be before Anytime.
Quotethe way that he sings and what a wonderful man could use a break if you ask me.
Funny. I felt that way about "Anytime" the last time I saw them. But when it started during that show, I didn't mind one single bit.
