hmmmmmmmm.........

What can I say, I prefer to keep being peed on a private affair.

I think he was just feeling goofy--or maybe he's feeling sick again and he was hopped up on OTC decongestant  :o

I also thought he was a little loopy when he threw his flying v guitar  to the sound guy who was about 10 feet away during a guitar change. The sound guy looked shocked and it seemed like he almost dropped it.

Best quote of the night was when he called the Avalon triangle banners "hanging panties".

But anyway, it was another awesome, surreal MMJ show. I am greatful everyday for this band and amazed at how they can tour nonstop with such passion and full throttle shows.  

[MMJ_fanatic]

All in all, a great show.

All except for your poor shoes eh? :(

This was one of the best shows i've ever been to, if not the best.  I wouldnt say Jim was drunk, i'd say he is one of those artists that actually has a strong connection with his music.  I have seen MMJ with the Pops but in the avalon it was absolutely incredible. the acoustics of the place make for an amazing show and the band was at their best as usual.  My friends who hadnt seen them before were absolutely blown away with the performance.  The setlist was amazing, and when They Ran came on it made my night completely. and when Jim came out and did Tonight I Wanna Celebrate with You, i was completely surprised as ive become such an MMJ nerd i nearly have every cd and ep theyve released.  Though does anyone know what jim was using for the song? it was some kind of weird electronic instrument.  The boston horns were very cool too, as i think the horn parts on Dancefloors and EMR are awesome.  and from where i was on the floor the only thing me and my friend couldnt hear well was the bass, but all in all they sounded amazing. this concert definately made up for the shitty bob dylan concert i saw in november.

ps. i couldnt help but yell "i love you jim" because honestly, who doesnt love that guy?

From the back left (stage right) the sound was amazing.  A slight scuffle with some drunks, but that's to be expected with college coming to a close.  Security, was great and took care of most of the problems, sorry to hear about the shoes.  I took my girl friend (never seen them before) and she was blown out of the water.

First off, I just wanted to say that that's the best show I've ever seen--far and away.

Secondly, if anyone has a recording of the show, it would be amazing if you could send that my way to:
brownpower [at] gmail.com

thanks a lot.

MMJ is god. Plain and simple.

I am the guy who peed during the show and I need to set the record straight since KForeman's account is more fiction than truth. First of all, I am not a 50ish short, stocky, graying drunkard. I'm 40ish. The location of the "splash down" is somewhat accurate, right, back, corner near sound board. About five minutes after (if I had only peed while the band was playing "Golden" it would have literally been "a golden shower) this guy taps me on the back and says "I think you splashed on my shoes". I replied, "Sorry urine my way". When I saw him run to security, like the rat that he is, I switched sides and watched the rest of the show. About halfway through the show I spotted him, or should I say, respotted him, and went up to him and magnaminously gave him a twenty, saying "buy a drink for you and your girlfriend". He then, like the cockroach that he is, demanded fifty and I told him to go F*&% himself and walked away, even though I was carrying more money in my wallet than this guy makes in a year.  I never left the show like he claims,and as far as him slugging me, let's just say after being capable of peeing on his shoes during the concert, I wasn't really worried. After the show was over, he again tried to get more money out of me while I was enjoying a nice steak tip sandwich on Landsdowne St. I ignored him and his ugly girlfriend, since he was starting to annoy me like a bug that needed to be squished. This guy obviously doesn't know the difference between someone ignoring him and someone "storming away", but what do you expect from a guy who post creative fiction. At least that night class he's taking at the local community college is paying off.

Ooooo, this could get interesting...

Wow, aren't you special.  Maybe, Mr. Big Time Fat Wallet,  you could buy yourself a life sometime.  Or at least a pair of Depends for your next show.

The boston show was really great...I was about three rows back on the Jim's side of the stage...I have to agree with the comment about the panties being the funniest of the night...i looked up and was like ummm s*** Jim is right! I was surrounded by many teenagers...which was cool until one of them fell and her boyfriend just walked away and left her on all fours in the middle of the crowd. she managed to stand up and i asked her if her bf was planning on returning...she mumbled something like "hold me...he went to get my dad..." so i did what any girl could do...held her so if she puked it would be away from me....and then sure enough in comes her dad and he swept her away. It only took my attention from the jacket for like a split second....if i could only get some of those boots

It's a classic he said/he said. I just can't decide whose side to be on... the pee'er or the pee'e. I am leaning towards the pee'er, sounds like he's got bank (though his social skills may be lacking a wee-wee bit).

[heartbreakinwoman]

you got it all right except...i didn't want her boots, i wanted jim's boots.  

[CC]

For now,  I have to go with the pee'e. You really shouldn't pee on people, unless jellyfish was somehow involved. Jellyfish?

[ycartrob]

ok yes, Jim's boots.

It will have to be our little secret, I deleted mine after you deleted yours.  ;) ;)       shhhhhh!!!!!

I have to diasgree. I mean, did you read? The pee'er is rich bitch! And educated! We don't need some community college night class creative writing broke ass maker upper running around at The Jackets shows. I mean, come on.

Shouldn't that be in color Tracy?

I don't know, I don't trust that pee'er just yet. I mean, could you come up with a comment like "Sorry urine my way" on the fly? That's been given some thought man.

[starry]

i'm still thinking about that show...not the pee.

So much tighter than last year's.
