Better Live: My Morning Jacket or Modest Mouse?

lalalalaaaaaaaa

I have not seen Modest Mouse, but I'd have to guess almost anything would be better than My Morning Jacket live. They were terrible. The crowd was definitely not into them.

first of all mmj's set was a little weak, but what can you do with one hour? you can't judge mmj from seeing them play for an hour.....but anyway, i was in the crowd and i was definitely into them and to say they were terrible is either a biased or a very ignorant statement. i'm a huge mmj fan and i would compare that show to seeing a bad pj show with a crappy set list, which we all know is still great.........so whatever, you may not like mmj and that's fine, but they are an amazing band and that is a musical fact.

I saw them open for Pearl Jam too. I don't think they're a terrible band, but I thought that set was terrible. I don't think they're anywhere near amazing...which is of course not a "musical fact" but an opinion.

yeah well that's not how you put it with your original post. you pretty much said anybody would've been better than them and that they were terrible, but whatever. and yeah i guess depending on what you consider amazing it could be an opinion. but i meant amazing as in a very talented group of musicians, which is a fact. whether you like them or not is an opinion, but no one can deny their musicianship.

That's true, I cannot deny their musicianship...it certainly appeared that they were playing their instruments when I saw them.

musical fact eh? i love my morning jacket. i've never seen them play more than an hour. i saw them open for pearl jam twice, and i saw them at lolla last year. they were amazing every single time. their set at lolla this year was weak. period. the crowd couldn't have cared less and the band seemed flat. it was a huge disappointment. they might have just had an off day. but it was not an impressive performance, and this is coming from a huge fan.

restlesssoul

my morning jacket is the future.

Yeah, I'll have to give them another chance someday. Most people do give them good reviews.
