They got a crazy way a-lovin' an' a I wanna get me some
I was standing on the corner, of 12th Street and Vine
Yeah, standing on the corner, of 12th Street and Vine
With my Kansas City woman and a bottle of Kansas City wine
OK so me and a friend of mine as well as Springfield's very own bearass are headed to Kansas City and the Uptown Theatre. Anyone else? MJ, if I kidnap you and return you home a day later will you press charges? Your wife can't get mad if you get kidnapped can she?
Check out the kick ass theatre-> (I don't think it's a coincidence that they are playing lots of amazing buildings on this tour.)

Wow, very cool looking place, it looks like it holds only about 500.
Shit, I wouldn't press charges. I'd buy the booze and ummm fescue for the trip. I'd claim Stockholm Syndrome. My wife on the other hand, may send this guy to hunt us down.

Are all the tickets for the KC show General Admission?
I'm pretty sure all of the presale tickets are GA, but I think there is a balcony that will have seats.
This is my guess, but again, I'm not 100% sure.
(http://media.ticketmaster.com/en-us/tmimages/venue/maps/ch3/5411s.gif)
All tickets to the KC show are GA. There are seats on the floor and balcony but they are GA as well (and usually fill up pretty fast depending on the show).
The Uptown may look small in the pic above but it holds almost 2000.
Hey thanks for the tip!
Is it hard to see if you are on the floor but a ways back?
Can you drink anywhere in the place?
Is it smoking/Non-smoking?
Are you going?
Is this too many questions?
It's not hard to see if you are far back unless you're short or it's so packed that you just can't get a good line of sight. There aren't too many bad spots to see a show there though.
You can drink anywhere in the place, although beers are somewhat pricey.
The only place you can smoke in the Uptown is in this smallish bar that's right by where you walk in the main entrance.
I will be there.
If there was one more question it would have been too many...but 5 is perfect.
i will be bringing a convoy from the south
ITS OFFICAL...i will be in kc and the jacket will melt my face [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
OK it's not the hometown show, but hey, you do what you can right?
And it's only [size=24]SEVEN[/size] days away!
fuck yea it is i already have trouble sleeping at night. im way to excited :D
I saw the Decemberists at the Uptown last year, it is an awesome place! If I had planned better and just taken the whole week off between Louisville and Red Rocks, I'd be there - dammit!
I will be there to experience this mysticism.
Heading there after Nashville and Louisville... This place looks awesome especially all General Admission can't wait to see ya'll there! :D
4 dayzzz
I'll be bringing a crew from the north. Anybody hitting the Stir Cove the next day? We are on our way back... might as well right?! :D
I'm coming and i'll be waiting outside at LEAST 2 hours before! Then on to Dallas on Saturday!!!...(damn wish I drove something besides a 12 mpg truck)
ill be there with you wardog all i need is my flask and my homemade brownies itll be a fun wait
Hey all! I'm going to the show Monday too. I've been a fan a couple of years and I won tickets to see them on Tuesday so I'm excited.
Nice!! Nothing like some free tickets. To an above poster, I too lament the MPG my Jeep gets. Gotta love it when the instant mpg indicator reads: 4mpg. :-X
Nashville got war begun.... Louisville got cobra.....God i hope kc gets something along those lines of totally bad ass [smiley=shocked.gif]
I'm hoping for one of the following three rarely played songs.
Xmas Curtain
Honest Man
Where To Begin
i was thinking honest man too i thought what song would be an awsome jam like cobra and war begun and honest man comes to mind, but what i would like to hear
strangulation
into the woods
i think im going to hell or war begun
and i will sing you songs with the ending off ISM ::)
Oh man... If they play "War Begun"...I don't know what I'll do! Oh "The Way He Sings!" Thats what I want

Master Fucking Plan.
They are just on fire. I don't know what else to say.
Can't sleep. Sweet Tarts? WTF?
I wonder if I met you Chronic Hunger and didn't know it. I guess we will never know....

Yes! That was me. I thought all out anarchy was going to take place during Highly suspicious.
oh i know it was nuts were you in front?
I was there. My first MMJ show. They DID NOT play "At Dawn."
QuoteI was there. My first MMJ show. They DID NOT play "At Dawn."
That is the album it's off of not the song
Any of you guys pick up the poster I did? I hope they sold well. if you didnt get one I have some on my site today at 10am. That venue looks incredible, sure it was an incredible place to see the guys play.
Masterplan, very nice. Thats on my shortlist of songs Im dying to see them perform but havent yet. Seems like they're sticking to 25 or so static tunes while dusting off a few older/underplayed numbers for each audience. Very excited to see what they do in DC and Philly. Thank God its only 3 weeks away, because I am in serious Louisville withdrawal...Anyone have any pics?
relatively new to their music here.........last night what was the song after Golden that talked about meeting at someone's back door, and what album is it off of?
It sounds like you're refering to 'Phone Went West' off of the album 'At Dawn'...I wasn't there, but that's gotta be it. GO GET THAT ALBUM!!!
Can anyone comment on the show start time? Did it match the ticket/update from the band? No opener?
I don't want to get burned in Dallas/Austin.

thanks man I was real impressed with that song.........and every other one! :D
Ticket said 8:00 - they were on stage by 8:15.
What a show!

I got your poster last night - it is badass!
I'm loving these bust outs every night! First War Begun, then Cobra (I know there were some others at those shows, too), now Master Plan and Just One Thing (I would have cried if I got to hear that). Really, really exciting time for these guys.
I wonder if they'll start incorporating more covers or just delve deeper into their discography to keep things interesting. Can't wait to see!
hi,
i hadn't really heard mmj until i went to the show last night. were all the songs their own? my friend and i couldn't help but think one of the songs was from a cover from an 80's tune.

Cool Thanks, glad you like it!
Oh man it was so amazing! Since I won tickets I got to meet them before the show and watch the sound check. Jim asked us if we had any requests and I went, "Thank You Too!." That was the first song they played for me. We heard it again later in the night, but I absolutely love that song so I didn't mind. During the soundcheck we also heard The Bear, and Knot Comes Loose. AWESOME!
WOW...just got back home... That show was amazing...well worth the 2.5 hours waiting outside!
WOW the crowd at the KC was probably the worst crowd I have ever been with at a concert... Jacket still ruled but god damn those people were funkin lamers!

I wasn't there but yes, all the songs are their own.
Knot comes loose, lucky that wouldev been tasty
Wow, Masterplan + Run Thru totally made this one my best Jacket show yet I think.. but the crowd was about 1/2 awesome 1/2 absolutely unacceptably lame
As a native, I can tell you that no matter what the show, KC crowds are usually lame.
Sorry.
Yeah not many people seemed to know the songs. C rowd was very lame... I doubt it will compare to Dallas...but I will gladly give feedback. Can't wait to see them again in 4 days!
I never saw any of the crowd except the ones on the floor all around me and they were far from lame!
where were u standing because the first 5 rows of people were not moving
Yea i didnt think the crowd was too bad everyone next to me and behind me were into it and no one was really talking around me or if they did you couldnt here them anyways
true..everyone was respectful
Were you waiting in the front of the line outside Wardog???
Many probably bought the tickets because the local radio station 96.5 The Buzz aired an ad for their show for a couple of months They are probably used to more diehards at their shows than KC offered. I was in the balcony and singing along..........I am a newer fan but still up there people were into it. I will say I have been to Ok and Iowa and Chicago at smaller venues........and sound wise........the Uptown is by far my favorite. Love that place!
Yeah, I was..well technically I was NUmber 2 and my brother was #1.
QuoteYeah, I was..well technically I was NUmber 2 and my brother was #1.
Ha! I was the idiot that pretended like I knew you when we were walking to the back of the line. If only I would have said "Hey Wardog" instead of "Hey Steve" ;D

Same thing is for Phoenix shows. The people just "dont get it".

HAHA! You could have easily been #3! We had plenty of room up front (which was taken by a couple lack-luster girls.)

What, no pics of Dave and his spots/stains? That is a requirement now.

Far and away the funniest show on television, possibly in recent memory. Arrested Development comes close, and its "smarter" humor, but for base, crass, and non-politically correct humor, Its Always Sunny is second to none.
they are def taking there time putting out season 3 on dvd which sucks
Quotethey are def taking there time putting out season 3 on dvd which sucks
Well most TV shows release the previous season before the start of the next season. Check out hulu.com, they have just about every episode. They have a ton of other shows too. Awesome site.

Sweet pics bearass. I love the one of Two Tone.
