MMJ GO UNDER THE SEA FOR A 2 NIGHT PROM IN ATHENS!

[CTdeadhead]

Ms yvon, I am forever in your debt.  Excellent review, thanks for sharing your memories.

[grasshead]

Would someone please post the setlists from the past two nights in the proper place?

Thanks and see you kids in Ashevegas!

Did Jim or Carl do this?  --->

[ms. yvon]

I said at one point to my wife......"this is the best thing that has ever happened to me" then after the fourth time she was like "you said that after the last song"

Follow The Train played the most theatrical version of "Feel Like Makin Love" that has ever been dreamed of. ;D


Thank you Jim, Carl, Bo, Patrick, Tommy, Brucie, Mike etc. etc For The Best Prom Ever!!!

;D ;D
dude, the music at this prom so blew the mx at my prom out of the water.  the theme at my HS prom was a phil collins for pete's sake.

**now boarding the last leg of my trip...was asleep on the first plane before everyone was boarded.**

anu, glad to see you woke up on time!

i'll post the set list in the proper place later today (if it's not done before then)

Stupid question, but was the What A Night the first night different than the 4 Seasons version from last night? Officially Dec 1963 (What A Night)...

I don't remember this being the first song on the first night...but it's been a long two days.

carl played sax on it the first night...pretty sure it was the same song though....i got a setlist from the band last night too but cant firgure out how to put pictures up here...help :-[

[steelyB]

man, what a night! nice to put some faces with names - Yvon and Anu it was great to meet you two. I finally got to meet Jim and got a picture of the two of us - will post later when I've had a chance to settle down - just got back from seeing MMW play a small lunch time show in Atlanta, so I'm worn out. Kory looked for you last night, but couldn't find you - shoot me your address and I'll mail you a copy of the Salt Lake show.

Anyone at these shows see any tapers?

[steelyB]

I didn't see any last night.

I don't remember this being the first song on the first night...but it's been a long two days.

the opening song of the first night was the Dells song from 1956:  a doo-wop style ballad.
the song on the second night December 1963 (thanks, jayne!) is a frankie valli and the 4 seasons tune from 1975.

STEELY B!  that copy of the Salt Lake show propelled me from athens to atlanta in the darkest part of this morning.  THANK YOU!!  [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

[steelyB]

I just posted some photos on my blog from the show - I have many, many more, but just a sampling for now - it's tough shooting with a tiny digital with no flash, but I think I got some good photos ... and one of me and Jimmy, alright!

Does anyone have any pictures of the Prom King and Queen from Wednesday night? My friend was the shirtless King who got kicked off the stage and his girlfriend was the blue haired Queen. It would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I can't say enough how amazing prom was. I really hope someone taped it.

[Carter41]

I didn't see any last night.

Dammit. I really should have gone to these shows so there would be guarenteed tapes that would get out. The sad thing is that its my spring break, so I really could have gone.

[steelyB]

that's not to say that there wasn't anyone taping - I just didn't see any stands in the air. I really wish MMJ would start selling soundboards of their shows (especially big shows like the two past nights) - I know this has been brought up before, but it's worth revisiting...

[sweatboard]

I taped both nights.  I am working on getting night two ready to put up on etree.  Hopefully here in a couple of hours.  


EVERYONE needs to check out [size=22]athcast.com[/size]


They taped both nights for podcasts.  Very cool people and I'm betting thier recording will end up being better than mine.  They told me it will be available for download once they get it up on the site.

Sweet!  Thanks Brian!

[ms. yvon]

thanks for the skinny, brian!  hey, sorry i missed you last night!

[Kory]

ya brian, sorry I missed you as well. I kept looking for mics both nights and had an eye out for you. I think I saw you on carl's side of the stage but wasn't for sure. I should have said something...

anyhow, just got off of an 8 hr drive and am starting to go through night two pictures... as if 600 pics the first night wasn't enough, I almost cleared the 800 mark last night. Ask yvon, I was clicking like crazy and I'm sure I got some sweet shots, I used night two to experiment with the manual slr settings of the camera. I'll have some more on our site tomorrow.

I'm still speechless about the shows... incredible!
