PHILLY Roll Call!!

[FiddleCastro]

Any word on a recording? I've gotta hear Honest Man and Circuital again...

Finger crossed that one shows up on Archive.

I heard there were a couple of tapers setup so hopefully one comes through.

There was one behind me, dead center and 10 yards from the stage. Because of how sharply the stairs elevated he was exactly the same height as the band. He had 2 mics. If you're reading this, good God man, please...

Saw him, too.

Please please please...

I need to hear that Mahgeetah and Steam Engine again.

Congrats on the final signature for your poster (s)!

You deserve it for hanging around and your perserverance.

There was no fucking way I was leaving without it. Especially since it was just Jim's that I needed. I'm not travelling with that poster again like that, with a chance something could happen to it. Wish you guys had stuck around to get all of yours signed too, but it was really getting late.

really happy for you dude-- must have made the long ride back to CT a bit easier to deal with

Well, well, well...what's to be said that hasn't already been eloquently put by all of you fine folks.  
Truly a pleasure to hang with you all, and to once again be treated to an evening of pure ecstasy courtesy of the jacket.  I mean really, who rocks like this?  NO ONE -- ever, ever, ever (don't you ever think it).
SO, let me put some pics up in this piece and bid you all a lovely evening.  
For anyone who wants the entire photobook (102 pics) just PM me your email address!

yep, that's my hand....giving up my thanks and praise

It was great seeing you again and meeting everyone else.  What a great show, except I had to move all the way out of the crowd half way through because of dehydration and a pounding headache.  Still they looked and sounded perfect the first half.  And sounded just as good the second half.  Terminal five, my body shall not betray me!

GREAT night!  

thanks to tdb & 8bobbyb for sharing their room & providing a nice spread for the pre-party.  we planned on heading over to the abayye but by the time the last of us trickled in, gates were opening soon so, it just didn't work out.

we got right up to the stage (no barrier/rail!) - slightly right of center.  it was a really good vantage point.  all of my other shows i've been far right and didn't really get a great view of carl.  he sure is a lot of fun to watch.  excellent facial expressions!  tommy looked like such a badass, kinda mesmerizing to watch.  bo looked like he was having a lot of fun up there & boy does he make those keys dance!  jim was a crazed man, kicking out & doing all these fancy saches & funky dance maneuvers.  and when he came out to the front of the stage,  he was RIGHT THERE, smiling down at us (pics to come later).  and yes, he did don the donkey head!!!  the one & only drawback was that i was right behind one of the monitors which almost completely blocked my view of patrick.  so i didn't get to really see him doing his thing.

they sounded so so so good.  phenominal set!  i truly do feel quite spoiled.  probably the best of my recent shows [highlight](sorry sis).  [/highlight]highlights for me were honest man (they rocked the fuck out on this), easy morning rebel  :o, golden (i just really love this song), mahgeetah (i concur that it was the best ever!!!) & touch me part 1 (never heard this live before).  steam engine was also the best ever, imho (swoon).

after the show, we waited in the lot by the tour buses & after a little while, 3 ladies came out of one of the buses & one headed over to us & started talking.  she was super nice & was like "wow, you guys have been waiting here for a while, & did you like the show, blah, blah, blah..." and then a few minutes into the conversation, we come to find out she's patrick's wife!  she was such a cool lady & thanked us for coming out.  awesome moment!  then, a little while later, carl walked by w/ his luggage & tdb called out out "snooowwwyyyy braaaamble!" & he turned & looked over w/ a sly grin on his face.  hahaha, so awesome!  he chatted to some other folks for a little while & then signed our posters (posters is very, very cool for this show).  a little after that, bo walked by w/ his luggage & he also stoped & talked to folks for a bit & then signed autographs.  i got an excellent picture of him signing fiddle's 1st keyboard, after he played it a little!!!  he signed all of our posters as well.  so we waited, and waited, and waited a little more for tommy, patrick & jim to make their way over. but, after a little scouting by 8bobbyb, it appeared that the guys were having a little post show party & we figured it might be quite some time before they headed over to the bus.  sadly, we decided to call it a night & all headed off in our separate ways.

the 2 hr drive home went by in a flash & when my alarm went off at 5:50 this morning, i had no trouble getting out of bed.  i even got to work with time to relax a few minutes & get myself situated, even though i stopped for coffee on my way in  ;)

fantastic night.  hung out with some wonderful people.  met some new faces & honestly, every single person i have had the pleasure of meeting & hanging out with has been so nice & kind & FUN!  al different walks of life but everyone is just so down to earth & excited that the other person loves this band too.  

cooljane - we were rockin out right next to each other.  i saw the pics you got & i want them!!!!  check your PM.

:'(

You killed me one text at a time last night lol.  What an awesome night for you!  Wish I could have been there to share it.  October can't come fast enough!

not what i intended to do at all, sis. really wish you were there too.  can we fast forward to october please?

Hey everyone-

Just checking in to grab the setlist.  I'm new here and new to MMJ.  Philly was my first show and I was blown away!

I'm a newbie to your scene, but I've been recording concerts for over 10 years.  I ran the mics down front and I'm working on getting it posted to the LMA.  It'll be up in a few hours, I'm just running the recoding through a few plug-ins to clean it up.

Thanks to the kind folks at the show who let me squeeze in and set up the mics in the sweet spot.   :)
