Two Halves...Carried Away - it evens out. So glad you got Carried Away, Go4It!

[MMJCOBRA]

I personally love two halves.  The lyrics are really heartfelt IMO.

[MrWhippy]

Gideon was on the setlist after Victory Dance, but cut due to running out of time.  A little tragic as the set really could have used that finish.  VD ended up having a very interesting extended ending, though, once they realized that they had to end the set with it.

During Steam Engine, Jim threw in a little guitar jam after the "Red Patoka Sea" line, and neither Carl nor Jim played sax at the end of it. 

Carried Away and Don't Do It freaking ruled.

[Sassbox]

I don't mind Two Halves and, frankly, it was a nice change of pace...set lists have seemed stale save for the rarities.

[JerseyDan]

Victory Dance was fucking EVIL 

[manonthemoon]

IMO Two halves is a horrible song, made me want to vomit when I heard it from the rail.  With that being said Carried Away was the highlight of the show and Steam, TWTHS, and Wordless are always great live.  A decent set all around and by far the best of the night but thats an entirely different story, but nothing as fantastic as a lot of the MPP shows have been.  I will say it seemed like the crowd was pretty receptive to the boys at least in the PIT and that they seemed to be enjoying themselves.  Heres hoping to better luck tonight and on Sunday.

[APR]

What a great afternoon and night.   Mr. and Mrs. GO4IT are not only extremely nice people and hosts, but their grilling and food preparing skills are outstanding.  If they generously host another gathering, I would love to go again and recommend other forum folk to go, relax, and sample the pickles and fresh veggies.

MMJ brought it as usual and threw in some nice surprises as you can see from the setlist.  The place was filling up a bit for them and the crowd was supportive.  Of course, it was a bit short but we knew that going in.  I was hoping for MMJ to appear during Wilco, but unfortunately that didn't happen.

Wilco exceeded expectations.  I'm not a fan of their country sounding tunes, which they pretty much skipped last night.  I don't know their music too well, but what I heard last night mostly rocked.  Every song sounded different, and the musicianship was top notch.   I'm going to look for the setlist (if anyone has it, please post), and give those songs a listen to compare live vs studio. It was my first time seeing them, and not the last.  I'd like to check out a headlining slot next time they come around.
