I went to see MMJ last night at the Charter One Pavillion in Chicago. It's a small-ish outdoor venue right on the lakefront. The show did not sell out, probably due to the ticket prices $60+ (that's what I heard, we got in for free so I'm not sure). The drinks were INSANELY priced. $9.50 for a fucking bud light. I think it was 16 oz. Awful. I don't drink bud so I went and got a vodka/redbull since I was feelin' a bit sluggish... $17. No shit. Oh and they do not allow you to tailgate in the parking lot beforehand. Now for the good stuff- the sound at this place is amazing. Seriously. And MMJ put on a fantastic show. If you didn't already know, they are doing 5 nights in NYC in Oct and each night they'll be playing a different one of their albums live. Pretty neat idea. Well they must be practicing all their old stuff because the setlist was kickass! Lots from It Still Moves and some from At Dawn too. Great times. Anyone else seen them recently or going to those NYC shows? "When the power of Love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." -Jimi Hendrix Posted 1 year ago #

Seeing a concert there on Friday. Do they have a full bar or is it just beer? Any place close by that's good to pre-game? Posted 1 year ago #

Not to shabby, pretty small for an indoor "stadium" show, decent acoustics, can't really remember if they had a full bar or not, I believe that they did though. One thing to keep in mind, the last show I went to there was Trey Anastasio from Phish and the security was pretty heavy. I suppose they knew better, considering the crowd was all hipsters, including myself, so if your planning on bringing in anything "illegal", crotch it good. They searched me pretty heavy, made me even take off my shoes, never had to do that before, just FYI. Have fun! Posted 1 year ago #

Here are a few pics I took at the show. I had the same spot for this show as I did for the black keys last friday. Posted 1 year ago #

This is where I saw TBK for the very first time. They opened for Beck. I haven't been there in years and I don't know what the rules are there anymore. It is technically a campus so I wouldn't be surprised if booze is not available, but that sounds crazy. How could they not serve booze? That's the money maker. Pre-game on Taylor Street. Lots of bars. College area (UIC). Hawkeyes is a cool bar over there. Blackhawks bar. Posted 1 year ago #

It Still Moves, and they rocked the place hard...from what I heard from people who were there. I have seen Jim James solo and he's amazing...I'm jealous of that dude's voice. Those live shots are fantastic, looks like a large combo TopHat amp, and a 3 Monkeys amp are in the backline! Posted 1 year ago #

Yep. Keys? Yep. Phone? Yep." so they didn't catch the spliffs I rolled beforehand getting blazed and hearing megadeth live was awesome Also went to Kuma's corner. That place is amazing.
