just came out in stores yesterday, check it out if you want. I haven\'t bought it yet myself, but it looks to be a different album for them. A lot mellower and less jammed out than most of their albums. its gotten mixed reviews so far, basically not so great reviews from jambans.com or people who are avid jamband fans, but has gotten rave reviews from Rolling Stone and more mainstream media.

I finally got their DVD and despite the criticism I have read on PT I freakin\' love it.
Not really a studio album guy but moe. makes some of the the best studio albums in the jam scene imo.

the DVD is good. I don\'t own it, Jenny does, she was at the show, and is in pretty much all the footage of when they show the crowd. its good don\'t get me wrong, but the show itself was average for moe. Since it took them so long to finally release a DVD and it seems like they have no plans of releasing another any time soon, I just wish they\'d have chosen a real barn burner of a show to represent them

I\'m taking it easy this tour and only hitting up Boston and snoe.down. Jenny is at Colorado right now, and will also be in Chicago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Cincinnati, so if any of you guys(Aruny) make it out to any of those shows, feel free to say hello to her. She\'ll show you how we get down in moe.ville. And I\'ll do ya the same if you plan on heading to Boston.

Well from the standpoint of being pretty much a newb to moe. I think the dvd does them justice in that it shows moe. being moe. and it IS from \'05 which for me was a time when they were on fire quite often. Well at least that\'s when I actually "got it" finally.

glad you enjoy. thats good to know that non-diehard moe. fans enjoy the DVD cuz thats really what matters most. if they were trying to impress people like me, then they\'d be working too hard too often.

Yeah the couple friends I have shown it to dug it. I think moe. does a great job of appealing to a wide and diverse audience even if they are seen as the epitome of jambands by many.

igzy, do you have high and whatever suppliment disc? I didn\'t pre order so I don\'t have it.

Technically, I have the soundboards and audience mics to the entire weekend, but those are straight feeds. I want to hear what they did with mixing.

yea, I would but sorry I can\'t. If moe ever changes there mind, you and wook will be the first to know. :shrug:

no, i didn\'t pre order either

if i had a signed permission slip from a member of the band, would that make your decision easier for you? i just wanna know what system i have to go thru in order to gain access to such goods. being the selfish moe.ron i am, i\'d totally keep it all to myself instead of spreading it around. there\'s no fun in sharing.

FrankZappa · « **Reply #9 on:** January 27, 2007, 10:07:38 am »

everything has to go through topper. sorry buddy. :shrug:

however, if we were to ever be at a party, or to carpool somewhere and I happened to have some music in the car, we could always listen to it... :rolleyes:

i have listened to every moe album and ive seen them a couple of times. aside from their tsunami benefir show in nyc with guets like trey medeski sam bush and others, i never really thought much of them. every studio album has its one or two redeemable songs in my opinion but as a whole they just do not interest me personally.

i feel like they try to hard to have a certain sound and it just doesn\'t sound natural or even remotely original. i find all their music is relatively predictable and the same goes for the new album. just not really a fan of it.

that being said, i think wormwood is a great album and has a great flow/feel to it. i dont know, i guess they just bore me, i would take a breakfast show any day of the week over moe.

I\'m not a moe. fan either.

But there are many things I respect about the band.

For example, they are not Tea Leaf Green.

and no other band can be.

However moe. realizes the potential in TLG musically/lyrically and in the ability to draw crowds to have them @ different moe. fests and to have them open for them.

Come ON Jocelyn ya had to know I was gonna chime in after that post.
