VD was the first song I heard from them live down in Charlottesville. At the time in 2011 I had only ever heard One Big Holiday and when I heard the intro I was like wtf did I get myself into. Btw I need to start a thread for everyone hitting Mexico.

I was at that show! Third row (person) center. Show #4 of 8 for me. Band was great but the crowd sucked. Set was short too.

Some scattered thoughts here.....

Lightning Bolt is better than Circuital. But Z and It Still Moves are right up there with PJ's best stuff.

I was talking to a friend the other night, who's a big Phish, Furthur, WSP fan, about long songs. We agreed that while we don't necessarily mind the 20+ minute version of songs, at the end, it may mean you miss 3-4 other songs that could have been played. But in the moment, when your face is being melted, it doesn't seem to matter

It's a shame that MMJ may be at their peak, because I still think they are criminally underrated and unknown. I feel like a lot of people have no idea who they are. Christ, Jim played a solo show here in Portland this summer and there were about 150 people there.

If anyone is going, it will be easier to keep track on something separate.

So... how many time have you seen MMJ live?

Im at 8
(none as opener for PJ, which I think will skew results here)

Ok, finally got around to figuring this out... 14 times!

First proper show, 6/20/08 at Radio City! What a first show!
12/31/08 -MSG NYE
10/19-22/10 - T3 -It Still Moves/Z/Evil Urges
12/14/11 - MSG
7/28/12 - Newport
8/19/12 - Brooklyn
12/27-29/12 - Port Chester
12/31/12 -Boston
1/2/13 - Asbury Park Show for Sandy
7/26/13 - Hoboken Americanarama

So pretty much not a stinker in the bunch!

Also, I could have seen them open up for Foo Fighters at Hammerstein Ballroom in July 2003, but I had never heard of them, so I stayed at the bar across the street to drink (regret!)

And I only went in to see them open for PJ once in 2006 (Hartford).

But we're going to Mexico!

Capital Theatre shows were insanely good. I am expecting Mexico to be even better :shock:.

And it will be 80 degrees vs. 20 degrees!

if there is any band that deserves to be huge, it is mmj. but still kinda cool that they've remained under the radar, for the most part, for as long as they have.

in my opinion, this is the best band in the world at the moment. --after pearl jam, of course! of course! i'm always amazed at how many people are not familiar with them.

FenwayFaithful · December 2013

Anyone going to One Big Holiday?

Hit it up. Hasn't taken off yet, ha. I know there are some more folks here going though.

SVRDhand13 · December 2013

Coming up on a year that I have not seen MMJ live

I need my fix

Driftin'Along · December 2013

Are there any rumors of a release date or at least which quarter the new album will come out?

63schoefflin · December 2013

No idea. I haven't been paying ultra close attention so maybe someone else knows. I would think maybe an early summer release at the earliest and then a nice long tour.

YLed2 · December 2013

Definitely late to this party, but I've been listening to a lot of live MMJ lately. I admit, I haven't really listened to them much and special thanks to derbydave for starting to get me listening to them.

First song I listened to was Steam Engine from the OKONOKOS show. Wow, how I've missed this band for this long is beyond me. Currently starting off by listening to this show and the Red Rocks show from 2012.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TplPQZ1xrJs

The entire sequence from about 2:10 to 3:22 is pretty fucking awesome. Sorry if this is elementary, but I'm just starting getting into these guys and I can already tell I'll be hooked as I dive more into their catalog and live work.

Keep ripping the live shit. Okonokos is awesome and is what hooked me.

Driftin'Along · December 2013

The live stuff is great, no doubt. It Still Moves is what hooked me though. The first time through I knew I had found another band that would be a life changer.

63schoefflin · December 2013

The schedule for OBH is announced. Man is this going to be an insane time.

Glad to hear that you are liking MMJ...Steam Engine is AMAZING live and still one of my FAVES!
They did a 28 minute version of Steam Engine as their final encore here in Columbus in 2012 that just blew me away!!!

Check out the live versions of Xmas Curtain & Dondante videos next!!

I've been STUCK on the Port Chester boots the last few days...been kind of slow at work, so I can make it thru ALL 3 shows in one day!!! :twisted:

A little bummed I won't be able to make it down to Mexico for "One Big Holiday"
I'll bet they break out some tunes from the new album there!!
Here's hoping we get a SPRING tour kicking off in Louisville around DERBY TIME!!!
:ugeek:

Foe40dees · December 2013

Got first annual roll call seven inch in the mail today. Pretty happy with live stuff!!
