    mmj KICKED ASS. i'd only heard bits and pieces of trax before, but tonight i saw them do about 4 or 5 songs. they rocked extremely hard, and i was very impressed. some of their heavier riffs reminded me alot of pearl jam. think i'll pick up an album this weekend!

    I saw the full set and I'm hooked now- I'll definitely pick up a CD. Great Band.

    excellent guitar and some pretty whacky drumming

    I never heard more than a few songs before tuesday night...they definately made a fan out of me though. One Big Holiday is a fucking incredible song...can't wait to see them in Pitts.

    I saw them playing at Coachella last week and they rocked! great band, I`m a big fan and I`ll be at Albany tomorrow and I`ll be jumping and screaming... I hope I`m not alone... My Morning Jacket is a great band and they have a strong energy on stage... so MMJ and Pearl Jam together is fucking awesome!

    MMJ is THE BEST POSSIBLE (REALISTIC) OPENING BAND I can think of for PJ!!

    I have seen them 2x on their own and they absolutely ROCK!!!!

    If you are debating whether you should check them out, debate no longer. You will not be disappointed.
    This one goes to 11...

    I think that's it... They were awesome. The sound was actually way better than I would have thought. I could hear everybody's instruments clearly, which was very very cool.

    The god damn rockin' in the free world cover was crazy fun. Jim and Patrick and Carl came on stage with tambourines, and sang. It was pretty fun.

    It was a great night. Now I need to prepare to do it again.
    I'll talk about PJ later. That was some intensity, holy shit.
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    I love you forever and forever :)

    The first I heard of MMJ was hearing that Cameron Crowe was very big on them, and included a few songs in Elizabethtown. I went out and bought "Z" the first week it came out, and it blew me away. I've gone back into their catalogue and there are great tracks from "It Still Moves", and a great live set from Bonaroo in 2004. I loved 'em, and look forward to seeing them in Cleveland and Detroit.
    I was hoping to get a MMJ shirt - I've got tones of PJ ones already - but there were none in Toronto. If someone at one of the American shows can post that there were/were not MMJ shirts at those shows, it'd be appreciated.

    Check em out. You'll enjoy. They're kinda like a combination of Radiohead and Wilco with a southern twist to it...that should be the sticker on the album in the stores. I can't imagine people coming away with a bad impression of MMJ.
    And to all Aussie's - enjoy Kings of Leon. That's the band I was hoping to see open, damn you!!! (but having just seen the great Sleater-Kinney and My Morning Jacket, I'm not complaining) Nor should anyone who gets to see Sonic Youth, or even Tom Petty. Fuck, we're blessed fans!

    damn straight MMJ, KOL, SK and SY are very good bands! We're lucky to see KOL.. I'd rather see MMJ open because I haven;t seen them live before and from all reports they are aweomse... they havent toured australia yet anywho.
