MMJ @ Metropolis, Montreal, July 12 * Roll Call!!!

oistheone · Jul 14, 2011, 02:14 PM

What an amazing show. Didn't think anything could top Toronto, but this show just may have. Best back-to-back shows ever. I was kicking myself for not bringing out my camera to shoot "The Dark" at the Kool Haus, so I made sure not to make the same mistake when I heard the opening notes to "Honest Man" at Metropolis. Here is a video in all it's raging glory:

That video is freakishly awesome. Honest Man is such a doozie live. Nice to see that they are playing it more often of late; I had the pleasure of witnessing it in the flesh last August. Excellent quality on that video by the way, both audo and visual ;D

That's an awesome video.

If you're wondering whose the guy fist pumping through most of the song, that would be me. And sometimes you can see my wife's short arms clapping and waving in the air.

I gave my spot, one back from the rail, to a pro photographer (there was no gap between the rail and stage) for the first 3 songs. He emailed me a link to his shots.

Awwwwesooome show. Awesome people. My mind was completely blown, best show I've seen in my life. Its hard to pick the headlight of the show because it was seamless all the way through but Dondante was sick. I'll be back to Montreal soon. What a great city. Can't wait to see them at meadowbrook outdoors. Might even try to sneak in one before that if I can.

MMJ shows are such a drug. I went to the shows in Montreal and Toronto, will also be hitting up the MeadowBrook show, yet I also find myself trying to find a way to get in another show before then.

By the way, if you traveled to this show from Laos and you're reading this -- it was a pleasure rockin' with ya.

I have a request for you guys. If anyone did a video of our opener post it on youtube and send me the link. Would love to see it!!

Thanks

Hey Jake and Co. it was great to discover your music, I am curious as to how you ended up booking this gig (as their were no other openers on this leg of the tour)?
I lived in Sherbrooke for 5 years while at Bishop's University and I never even heard of you guys! Best of luck!!

Would you believe we just asked them!! When I told you that MMJ were incredibly nice folks that's also what I meant!! First we contacted Evenko (the show producer), they checked us out and said:"If its ok with the band, its ok with us". MMJ liked our music and the rest is "JATL" history!

@johnnYYac, thanks for the pics. Really appreciate it!

By the way I can't say enough how you guys were an amazing crowd!! Real music lovers.
