i had never heard of this band but saw them last night at the warren haynes xmas jam and thought they were really good...can anyone point me towards some albums? i looked them up and they had quite a bit of releases

if you want studio albums....start with no doy and tin cans and car tires, then woomwood. If you want live cd's, get warts and all vol. 1 first, or L. Check out archive.org for TONS of live shows, and go to moe.down labor day weekend if you can, greatest festival out there

show ended around 4, his xmas jams usually do, they are about 8 hour shows with a ton of bands playing, but you also have to take time to switch sets between bands which can take some time. The Mule portion of the show is usually filled with guests and lots of cover songs

they came on around 2am....it started at 7 with the xmas jam band opening, then the guy from collective soul, then the guy that wrote 'hard to handle', william bell, ani difranco, moe., counting crows, then gov't mule...warren haynes played at least 1 song with everyone except for the collective soul guy (forgot his name, Ed something, i think?)

the counting crows were a little disappointing but moe. was phenomenal!

dan auerbach was supposed to play, too, but ended up cancelling, not sure why

warren haynes puts it on every year at the asheville civic center (where pj played on the vfc tour), it's a benefit for habitat for humanity and is cheaper than a PJ ticket!

moe. is great. Tons of fun. I've been meaning to see them live but they haven't come to Pittsburgh recently and when they come close I haven't been able to make it.

Plane Crash is one of my favorite songs to just sing along to...

But, yeah, check out their live stuff. They're a jam band; studio stuff is never their best.

moe. is the shit, they've been my favorite band for about 10 years now. i've seen them live 56 times and they get better each time. my suggestions to you are get live albums first. start with the warts and all series. there are 6, i believe. full shows, 3 discs each volume, and they're usually pretty cheap (under $20 each). there is also the dr. stan's prescription series, but that series is fairly young with only 2 shows released so far (both coming after the last warts and all volume). 'L' is also a good live release, but it's not a complete show. it's songs taken from different shows over the span of a tour. there's also 'L 3.1', which has 3 songs on it and is an accompanying cd to 'L', but as far as i know, you can only get that at their website. if you want studio albums, i'd go with the conch, wormwood, dither, or no doy. best bet is to actually buy the music at their website (if you're going to buy cd's), you won't find them cheaper anywhere else (unless you count ebay). the website is www.moe.org fyi: with wormwood, all the songs are pretty much segued into the next song, and all the drumming is actually taken from live shows, with guitars and vocals done over in the studio. at some points on wormwood, you can actually hear the crowd very faintly in the background, like in the song 'kids', there's about a 10 second part where all that's being played is the bass and you can absolutely hear cheering in the background.

have fun and please post any updates to your purchases in this thread, i love hearing about people discovering this band.

thanks! i was kinda leaning more towards a live album since they are a jam band and like the first doors album i bought was a live one, then i got their first album and thought it sounded soooo flat! same with binaural and riot act, i thought the majority of those songs were far better live than on the albums (just listen to can't keep from the dc show in 03 and compare it to riot act!)

i was looking at L because the only song title i know from what they played is captain america, which is on L

the spine of a dog>buster from that cd in insane. If you need any suggestions of audience recordings from archive.org, just ask. Also, even though they are a jamband, their studio cd's are very good, don't ignore them because jambands typically shine in the live setting.

well, i didn't get L. i got warts & all vol 5, dr stan's prescription vol 1 on cd and sticks and stones on vinyl. they are having a sale, most of their cds are only $10, even 3 disc one like the warts & all series and dr stan's

moe is fighting service fees....from moe.org

Service fees tacked on to ticket purchases have long been a source of grumbling from concertgoers everywhere. The moe. management team has been listening to fans' feedback, studying past ticket sale statistics and negotiating with Live Nation for several months in an effort to find some sort of middle ground to satisfy fans, the band and the ticketing company. With some fees totaling upwards to a third of the original base ticket price, it's not surprising that many fans choose not to buy advance tickets, waiting instead and taking a chance on buying tickets at the door on the day of the show.

After much debate with Live Nation over this trend, moe. was able to strike a deal with the company for a special promotion on the first day of ticket sales for their Atlanta shows. On January 8th, Live Nation is waiving all service fees on moe. Atlanta tickets. Tell all your friends and make sure as many of you as possible participate. The powers that be at Live Nation will be watching and success with this promotion could mean moe. might have the ability to request similar on-sale deals with other venues across the country.

Bigger bands have taken on the ticketing agencies in the past with some success, and any stride we make as a band toward a more reasonable and fair ticketing experience is an important one. But we cannot do it without our fans. Put it on your calendar, tell your friends, post it on your facebook status but whatever you do MAKE SURE and buy your Tabernacle tickets SERVICE FEE FREE on January 8th. Remember: this is only on the very first day of on-sale. We'd like to thank Live Nation for working with us on this venture.

let me know what you think of those cds....and try not to judge their studio cd's by sticks and stones, IMO it's their worst one.
