Roll Call: It Still Moves: Night 3: October 21

[lil sis]

whatever "system" security is using sucks.  even though we were towards the front of the line outside (rolled in around 4:30), just before they opened the gates to let us head up to the roof, they had us go from more or less a single file line to all bunching up/cramming together @ the gate.  so, folks who were there for hrs & hrs didn't necessarily get in first, as others who had strolled over later were able to push their way up & get a better spot in the line on the roof.

re.tar.ded.

not complaining about my spot for any of the shows; i've been very, very lucky w/ being no more than 3 people back from the rail.  last night's spot was great except for the fact that the 2 chicks on the rail directly in front of lil sis & me didn't dance, bob their heads, or make any kind of gestures or motion indicating that they were happy to be there.  statues.  they could've done that from the back.

of course, if they pop up w/ a taping i will be eating some humble pie.

Totally retarded system they have.  They should operate like any other club in the city does.  Have a line roped off.  Have one person check your ID and ticket, then let that person through to the next station to get searched.  This can be done just as quickly.  Coming into the line to check IDs and then trying to check everyone's shit at the same time just doesn't WORK.  Have a real system and implement it.

And those girls in front of us could have been DEAD for all I know.

End rant.

i slept in and caught up today! i was dragging the past few days.
it's ON tonight, though..
i'll try for mcgees around 3 but i'm not staying too long,
Jeff (HH) i wanna meet your wife but i won't be staying past 4:30 at mcgees (plan so far)

It makes no difference. And I was wearing my Last Waltz shirt!!!

Way to rock out and perfect timing on your Bubble gum shout out last night...lol you kill me...See you in line today. It's the weekend and time to play!
;D

[j_rud]

Just got up and put It Makes No Difference on blast...must have a shit eating grin from ear to ear. This week has been nothing but incredible moment after incredible moment.

[hacksaw]

I realize this is an EXTREME long shot, but last night I bought an ISM shirt for my girlfriend, slung it over my shoulder and by the time I found her, the shirt was gone. She was devaststed and i felt so incredibly stupid. If anyone has an extra of any size - though, the smaller the better - I would compensate you handsomely to take it off your hands. Many thanks! Here's to a great final two nights!

lol. fail.

Prove you didn't steal it. Until you do, I think it's a safe assumption you're ripping off fans of the band, at least with your shitty attitude

That isn't really him in that pic, is it? That looks like Eli Manning if he'd start listening to too many Saddle Creek artists. Emo Manning.

All Night Long.

The single best cover I have ever seen anyone, ever do.

I cannot believe they ended such a great show with this song. It's one of my favorite songs off all time and they COMPLETELY NAILED IT.

Holy shit, I love this band!

lol I would never wear a MMJ shirt. Way too popular. I'm above that.

Such a killer show last night.

Met some great people and I'm looking forward to tonight again!

Click thru and Watch in HD. Great quality.

MMJ picks the most obvious and boring covers to perform. UGH

The only time JJ has impressed me with any of his covers were the KISS songshe performed last Halloween with MOF.

about what time have they been wrapping up the encore each night?

First night seemed to be close to 11:30, each night they keep creeping later.

According to some folks @ the venue, on Friday and Saturday the band may play up until 1:00am instead of the 12:00 restriction over the 1st three shows

It's a midnight restriction? That's still good to know. I know last night we must have been out at like 11:45. Tuesday I think was much closer to midnight.

I'm more pumped for Saturday going til 1 am since in a perfect world, the Encore will just be the new album in its entirety

I've been thinking all week that EU will be the best night. Obviously not the best record, but I have a feeling that the encore Saturday night is going to be INSANE. Maybe just an entire 2+ hour set of new songs, covers, and hits from the previous nights.

Back at my computer - I realized I forgot another highlight.

Jim made a PERFECT speech about how happy he was that the old band members could join them.     He said that the world changes, and people change, but the fact that everyone could be up on stage, peacefully, and on the same page - meant a lot.

I don't pretend to know the current dynamics of the bandmembers, but it's been certainly on my mind as Quaid comes out and rips it up each night.    I watch for any band interactions, and how cool and graceful and generous Carl has been.  The words Jimmy said were so heartfelt and honest.... you could see it in his face and eyes.    

Was anyone else touched by this?

The Virgin I'm bringing only knows Okonokos. I don't think he's heard a single song off EU, which is good, because I'm a firm believer that whatever faults that Album has are made up for when played live (except for I'm Amazed's over exposure - not the band's fault).

So I'm not telling him that to see his reaction. I don't have any worries he'll be like "oh this band sucks" but I do hope they whip out another OBH or something from the other nights just so he can get a taste.

Just checking once again to see if anyone has an extra ISM shirt... Please get in touch if you do! Cash and godly amounts of karma would be sent your way in a most prompt fashion...
