If there are a bunch of us going, do we want to carpool? I\'m planning on leaving thursday afternoon/night and comming back monday monring.
MOE; on fire? Is that possible?
I\'m checking out the Syracuse show as we speak, you were right on in the first set as for HIGHlights(although I really like the new song). "Happy Hour Hero" was alright, the Frampton-esque solo was cool(but I am a sucker for that sound). The transition to "Mexico" took a lil while to get going but got very interesting when they sped up the tempo. I\'ll update as it flows, "Yodelittle" being my favorite moe. song by far.
"->Mexico" was very good and they played the song well, the realy jelly was the jam after the lyrics, great stuff. The "Yodelittle" was solid and was pulled towards an outro just in time around the 14 minute mark. It seemed that they had brought it out as far as it was going to go without getting forced. Rob was poppin those bass notes as the band shifted gears. Stupendous segue into "McBain", with great keys work in the intro. Place must have been going nuts by the end of this, such a great dynamic flow to this set so far.
The way they ended "McBain", is there a reprisal normally? If not I wouldn\'t really call that a segue, they clearly stoppped before the drop into "Down Boy". Anyway, top-notch version of this song. The transition out of it was a good idea, but I feel it doesn\'t really translate onto disc that well. I am sure with the repetitive riffs where the song would normally end built anticipation at the show, but they went a few too many times with it. Once it spaced out and slowed though, they segued into "Rebubula" PERFECTLY! Perfect call as far as song selection for the closer. Some of the better moe. I\'ve heard in a long time, and I am only at the 7 minute mark of "Rebubula".
I love moe. but when they play Radio Head it SUCKS!!!
I\'ve seen them do Karma Police, and all emotion is lost when Al Schneir sings.
extremely excited for Disco Biscuits/moe. a week from friday at the Aragon. what an insane co-bill. psyched to see tDB with their new drummer for some fresh interaction on stage. wonder if theyll pull out some tunes?? havent seen moe. in awhile too and they always rip up the aragon. good stuff.
MOE; on fire? Is that possible?

Best studio jamband. period....most possibly the biggest let down live..
Igzy, Glad to see that you are alive and well. How was the moe. run? The 2nd night looks hot. I know nothing about moe., so indulge me on the highlights of the weekend.
