Cool, I'll try to remember. Still trying to convince a friend to make the trip with me, but luckily the only 2 forums I visit on the interwebs are FBGs and teh MMJ forum, and there's a ton of people over there goin to the T5 showsShoot me a PM as we get closer, we can grab a beer beforehand if you'd like
I have listened to MMJ and to me they are hit and miss. Sometimes really good but sometimes just lost. My questions and I dont want to come across as a music snob but do they have enough material for a 5 night run? Or is it the same show 5 times like a U2 or Bruce show?Cool, I'll try to remember.

Its a special, one time 5 night run. They have 5 albums. Each night theyre playing 1 album, plus songs from EPs, b-sides, and covers that were released around the time that album was or covers they were playing certain tours. They have like 5-6 EPs, around a dozen b-side songs, and a ton of covers (and they rarely play covers anymore with the exception of festival or NYE shows). A lot of the songs off the first 2 albums they never play anymore, and the last night theyre playing the 5th album and debuting new songs from their upcoming album.I think they might have said fan favorites will be played at more than 1 show (ie One Big Holiday, Dondante, Gideon, etc), but Id guess they limit those songs to 10 or less based on how the band has described the setlists to be.
Great set. Despite their mediocre last album, listening to Okonokos right now, this is still my favorite live band right now. Hope the new one is great again.
Where would one find a copy of this Okonokos you speak of?There are 3 bands I've never seen live that I want to before I die.
You can find it for $13 on Amazon.What I have though is what someone made called "The Okonokos Project" which is more than on the physical Okonokos album and they explain as:General Malaise said:
)...Cant believe the start of the T5 run is only 5 days away. Ecstatic. 
Nice...Im pretty sure the 1st 2 nights arent even sold out. Theyre going to play a ton of songs they never play anymore on those nights, definitely worth going if you can make it. Same for It Still Moves which will probably be the highlight show for me, but thats sold out. ISM and Z seem to be tough tickets at this pointSaw them with Petty. FANTASTICfinally punched the ticket to see them do "Z" next Friday.
I almost bought Evil Urges just because I want to see them do some of those songs (likely Highly Suspicious). Not my favorite album, but curious to see them do it live. Plus, I'd imagine there will be a ton of add ons and a super long set list that night.Nice...Im pretty sure the 1st 2 nights arent even sold out.

There's going to be a ton of add ons every night as theyre going to play songs off their EPs (they have like 6 or so EPs on each night depending when those were released), as well as the covers they played on the various tours.Evil Urges night is going to have at least a half dozen songs from their album that comes out next year though, including the one they debuted a couple months ago, Circuital (which IMO is pretty fantastic live)JerseyToughGuys said:I almost bought Evil Urges just because I want to see them do some of those songs (likely Highly Suspicious).

they played circuital and another one this summer.
Think its sold outI would try to go to McGees (55th bet 8th and 9th) beforehand for the preparty, wouldn't be surprised if you can't find a ticket thereSay I'm flying into town tomorrow (hey, NYC peeps!) and looking to crash Friday's Z show. Are tickets still available, or likely to be available from scalpers in loco?
You're a good dude, TU. And thorough.Definitely gonna look into those, and a beer is in order, for sure. I'll let you know once I get my bearings.Think its sold outI would try to go to McGees (55th bet 8th and 9th) beforehand for the preparty, wouldn't be surprised if you can't find a ticket thereSay I'm flying into town tomorrow (hey, NYC peeps!) and looking to crash Friday's Z show.

or Jakes Saloon also (57th and 10th
There will certainly be some scalpers out in front, but not sure what they will be asking (and some of those have reportedly been counterfeits)
Let's grab a beer at some point!
woulda loved to see some Chocolate and Ice stuff. Very cool.
I got mine off stub hub, but it might be too late for that. There should be scalpers. TU prob has seen some.Say I'm flying into town tomorrow (hey, TU and NYC peeps!) and looking to crash Friday's Z show. Are tickets still available, or likely to be available from scalpers in loco?
Me too man, looking very forward to it.

That would be awesomeI thought I had one for Abrantes but it fell throughIf you have a Fri night Z ticket for Abrantes, that would rule
can't wait.
I had a blast last night....man, they are tight. Enjoy the rest of it!
Aw, sorry I missed you, man. Came into McGee's round six to meet up with TU, and we were there shootin' the #### basically 'til showtime.First time seeing MMJ live, and my face hurts from too much rocking and grinning like a fool the whole time. Cool place, the people around us were rocking, and most importantly, so was the band. Looooved the whole thing (great vibe during "Gideon"), and the encore was sick. Great times, and it was awesome to meet TU.JerseyToughGuys said:
