Jim And Patrick and others 12.26.10

[e_wind]

the christmas themed lights through our Jim and Patty's set were cool.

[kydiddle]

it's like the way he's playing an instrument is the way he'd prefer to communicate with the world.

and just as i say i'm running out of ways to describe these guys, you post the bestest description ever.

darkglow has a certain way with words.

From the recaps, this show sounds like it was amazing. So sad to have missed it. What an awesome experience for everyone who was there. Jim just keeps redefining himself, yet he stays humble and awesome throughout. One of the most innovative musical minds out there.

This show is being fluffed big time.
I have been a life long Louisville resident
and been seeing this band since the beginning.

This show was very "meh"
Crowd sucked. Stop talking and singing
so loud. Patrick didn't change a thing about
his drumming. He was playing along to the
tunes like the full band was there. My whole
crew did not buy this show. It seemed unrehearsed
and a pity party for a soon to be closed business.

I am over the head banging. Time for a new gimmick.
Now I know why I don't really listen to this band anymore.
Just thought I would get a better performance than this.
The opener was terrible. Gideon and all the other rock
songs just lacked substance. Golden and Bermuda Highway
were great as always.

No encore tells me Jim was not all that into this show either.


Thanks for the ticket September.

Sorry you didn't enjoy it...because lots of folks did.
To each his own.

I'm sorry September wasted the ticket.

For some, an unrehearsed appearance by 2 Louiville residents who just happen to be 40 percent of My Morning Jacket, in honor of a local record store, sounds pretty sweet, along with the other acts and all for $20!  These guys showed on the day after Christmas, not to promote themselves but to support a struggling local business.  For many Jacket fans, especially during a stretch without any significant touring, we take what we can. 

And, no offense, but I get the sense that "life long Louiville residents" who have been "seeing this band since the beginning" often come across as a bit elitist to some sad fuck middle aged New Englander who just discovered MMJ two years ago. 

As skyisburning says, "to each his own."

This was definitely the most interesting Jim James production I have ever seen or heard.  My wife is into the acoustic stuff and was not a fan of the intensely distorted bass mindf*%K opening.  I on the other hand kind of enjoyed it. 

The bass sounded like some sort of deep phantom of the opera meets black sabbath organ from hell.  Particularly on that riff he kept using to transition between songs.

I have to say that they created a lot of presence for just two people.  I saw that Jim had a whole rack of guitars and would have liked to see him return to the 6 string for OBH to close out but the lead bass arrangement was ballsy to say the least.   The bass worked well on Smokin from Shootin but not so much for OBH. 

I think he sensed a friendly crowd at an unofficial non-MMJ event and considered it a one-off chance to experiment.  I consider it just that; a unique experiment and something that you won't get elsewhere. Kind of like a jam-session freak out (with some beautiful acoustic classics in the middle) that was absolutely unexpected.  I appreciate the opportunity to have had my ear drums blown in such a unique way.

Man elitist are the worst people ever. I don't understand the point of people just trying to bring others down.

I expect more.

Good bye.

1. there was no encore due to time
2. For bigsur to say Jim wasn't into it , tells me that bigsur probably wasn't even there.
3. Thanks all for posting videos but they really do not do any justice for the sound that these 2 guys were producing live. 
4. to hear these few songs funky jammed was truly special and one of a kind.

thanks JJ and Patrick for great night.

I expected more from that YouTube video. Lazy fucking band, can't even afford a guitar with six strings on it. WTF! As a life-long Internet resident, I am frankly disappointed that this video was not presented to me in 3D Hologram fashion. Nothing will compare to the early days when the boys were more like Wyld Stallyns and not the My Little Ponies they have turned into.

For this I send you very glad tidings!

If you didn't like this show you are with the terrorists.

At this juncture, I'm presented with two options:

1) admit defeat in the face of such miserable companions

2) raise the possibility - am I bigsur or hacksaw?

I'd prefer to just admit I'll never be as depressed as Eeyore and I've got better things to do than hop around the Internet being a grinch.

Then again, it was pretty frakked up for Yim to not play the laser harp in any of those videos, especially given the fact that the East Coast was decimated with snow.
