QuoteSo were their puppets at the last two shows?  I see that there were in Louisville, but that was a homecoming show and not technically "An Evening With..." show.  


you're killing me here...what's so special? if you've seen them live and heard their albums-then surely you realize by now they don't need an opening band, they don't puppets or laser light shows--if they have it, it's an added bonus..they are the best live band around and just be glad they're coming to a town near you, go drink your iced coffee and be on your way! chop chop! :P

I'm not asking it in a "woopty doo, who cares" kinda way....I was sincerely asking.  I have seen MMJ live three times....and was able to go to the MMJ prom a year or so ago...and I do think seeing MMJ perform 1 song, let alone 25 is super-di-duper special.  I just wanted to know how this tour differed from the others I have been to.  

I agree though....I am glad there is no opening band.  Whenever I see the Jacket I hate having to wait for hours on end to see them play.  So thanks for the feedback guys.  I'm definitely looking forward to seeing MMJ play an extended set (even though I get no headless Abe Lincoln which sucks).....hopefully I'll hear some rarities I have never heard live before.

Guaranteed, my friend.  ;)

Ha!

I hope a video surfaces of Lincoln losing his head....not in real life, but on MMJ's stage.  I don't think the real assassination has hit youtube yet....I heard Henry Rathbone caught most of it on his iphone though.

You didn't recognize him; he was disguised as a giant owl with a spinning head.

I can't believe this question was asked! The longer your favorite band plays for, the more "special", the "evening", "with" them can and will be.

QuoteWhat kind of fucking question is this?

That's what I came hear to say.  It's like asking: How am I supposed to eat if all I have is food?

obviously you didn't read the post or my responses....oh well.  Maybe I should have titled the thread "How is this tour different or better?"  I've been a huge fan since '03...I'm not complaining...I was asking what to expect when I went.

Screw it...I'll change the topic name so everyone will chill.

We got right around 2.5 hours in Nashville.  Great to see/hear the new stuff!  i was hoping for a little different setlist, but i'll take it.  i don't think we got any covers...?  The lights were pretty sweet.  No complaints.  Grrreat as always.
You had me worried!!!
