Clint Maedgen from New Orleans Bingo Show is stepping it up in the NO performing hierarchy - I love his sound and style and he adds a great flavor to PHJB. I hope he can get some national recognition closer to the mainstream - he deserves it.
I agree. Clint Maedgen is the BOMB. Great singer and performer who can play any instrument from an electric guitar to a theramin to a coke bottle to pots and pans. He deserves to be a huge star.
Good to hear! Pretty standard sets for festivals it seems. If you've listened to Okonokos and Circuital then you've heard every song they played at JF. Can't wait for Columbus myself.'Tiger Fan said:Solid show. Admittedly, I'm not really familiar with their whole catalog...but they're great musicians and I had a good time. Would definitely see again.seeing them for the first time on saturday

My Dad lives out in Montana, I think Boise is like 4 hours or so from him. I doubt I can swing a visit during early September out there, but that sounds like an awesome, unique show/venue to hit up that MMJ or any band even near their caliber/popularity would hit more than every 5 years or so, if that. Hopefully they pull out some oldies.'Disco Stu said:
I'd be shocked if they don't sell out the Wiltern in less than 30 mins.
That's what Id say too. I dont think theyre quite as popular out west, but they also dont play near as many shows out there either so the demand should be greater. Im surprised theyre playing that small of a venue, although the 3 night run might make at least 1 show not sell out as fast, plus all of the shows are during the middle of the week. Id expect the 9/12 show to sellout first because Iron and Wine is opening. Id probably want to go to the 9/11 show personally because there isnt an opener that night. Worst case scenario if they do sell all 3 out fast, theres always the Greek Theater show the next night, which is a lot bigger venue I think.
Only to hipsters
i may slide up to LA for one of the Wiltern shows. Weeknight shows 2 hrs from home are tough but I've seen Panic at the Wiltern from the floor and it is insane.
You got me! :wankingmotion:

Cant wait
Its channel 306 on DirecTV. Last nights show was phenomenal albeit a little more mellow than usual. I expect tonight to rock more and have less pre-ISM songs.
Thanks for the heads up. This is great.Cant wait
And the more ISM and earlier songs the better IMO.Thanks for the heads up. This is great.Cant wait
I would have missed it if I didn't see his post a hour before it started.'The Dreaded Marco said:Thanks for the heads up. This is great.'Kenny Powers said:Cant wait
Yeah, theyve said for awhile that they typically only play covers for festival and holiday shows. 7 is still a lot though, Im pretty sure that Midnight Hour, Never Can Tell, and Hungry Heart were all first time covers. Just caught all of them on youtube, pretty good and a lot of fun!!!Their 3 night run in Port Chester looks nasty. On paper, I think Night 1 is my favorite. Might have to download/acquire all those shows...Octoplasm?! #######g unreal!!!
Awesome man!!Was there last night also...fantastic.
I bought 8 tickets a while back, booked a limo and told with wife and three other couples who didn't know MMJ from a hole in the wall they had no choice in the matter - this is what we're doing NYE. A little late to the party but they're all on board now.

I agree that their past 2 albums have not been as good but I think their live shows have suffered as well. Some of the shows after It Still Moves and Z are amongst the best concerts I've ever seen. The last few times I've seen them (since Evil Urges) the shows have paled in comparison due to the material they have to play in support of the new albums. Still love their shows and will continue to go whenever I can.
I never saw them until the Evil Urges tour, my first show was actually Iowa City when Jim fell off stage and they only played like 5-6 songs. I see what youre saying because ISM and AD are certainly my favorite albums and they played more of those songs live back then, but I think theyve grown as a live band a lot since then.And the couple shows Ive seen besides the album run in NYC 2010 before this year, Id agree with you, but this year with the "Spontaneous Curation" thing theyve really mixed it up with their setlists. I havent followed any fall sets, but the summer tour sets and the Port Chester run were all great.
I liked Evil Urges when it came out, but I liked it a whole lot more when I saw them during the Evil Urges tour. The same thing is happening with Circuital. They seem to do that a lot for me.
Last night was a great show to take people and introduce them to MMJ. They didn't go very deep in the catalog and kept it going with a party like atmosphere all night, not just a concert. I took my wife, sister and he friend who aren't big MMJ fans, but they loved it.Was there last night also...fantastic.

I live less than a mile away from Agganis, am a huge fan... We had a wedding this past weekend (got back Sun nite), was wife's first time away from the new baby...just couldn't swing it. Glad to hear it was good.Was there last night also...fantastic.

Jesus the Orange Peel in Asheville gets every hot band it seems.
