My 5 favorite only MMJ could pull this off moments
1. Viking back up singers for Into the woods.
2. Freezing as statues (I can't remember which song) on TTF night.
3. Bananas
4. Tommy singing for once on Hot Fun in the Summertime
5. Remnants!!!! The one song that I never got to hear live that I always wanted to. The crowd's reaction to this was my personal highlight of the week. Why this wasn't in their rotation was beyond me.
That said, it was an incredible experience. I brought along 7 newbies to the show, including my ex wife, my daughter and her boyfriend, new friends, old friends and all were very impressed, and I gave away a free ticket to someone on line at the AD show. My ex-girlfriend unfriended me on facebook because she couldn't deal with the fun I was posting each day. It was almost like a religious experience.
Also a shout out to other jacket fans that recognized me in the city. I guess it is hard to hide when you are 6 8", bearded, 48 years old, rocking out like a mad man for 5 nights. And I apologize for blocking anyone's view (its the only perk I get being this tall, try flying coach as I did today).
I can't wait until next years album and tour.

When he sang those lines I will admit, the room instantly filled with dust and other allergens, plus some smoke and maybe particulate matter, and I needed to take an Allegra to clear my eyes out a bit...because of my allergies
Bo's instrumental break during "Cobra" was such a powerful moment and hopefully the spark of an epic solo career.
Carl was like a sorcerer with the violin bow on "Hopefully"
Jim was like a modern day Hendrix on his solo during "Phone Went West"
Patrick was like a fucking animal on the clock arms section of "Run Thru"
Tommy was sounding like a robotic bassline at times all throughout the Z night
I don't like to rank anything with this band. They have 5 members, and I chose to give a memorable moment to each one of them. They really do prove the whole mantra "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts." Makes it alot easier to recognize their talents individually when you can't believe how amazing the glue that holds them together is.

I think this is what mjk did to us, for the same reason. ;D :-?
Covers:
1.) How the Gods Kill (Danzig)
2.) Lullabys, legends, and lies (Shel Silverstein)
3.) I could never take the place of your man (Prince)

The covers were probably my favorite part of each night. They showed how adept and adaptable the band is.
