This was a great show in a not so great venue. moe. is definitely been on fire recently it seems since the end of last year. A good setlist along with some great jamming make this a very solid show. The quality of the recording is also very good.

My only drawback is that there's no real place at the Michigan Theater for the tapers to setup, so they had to setup at their seats (reserved seating not general admission). I was sitting within' 5 feet of 2 different rigs. Don't get me wrong, I love you folks who tape. It just seemed like because of my proximity to 2 different setups that I was in a "no-fun zone". It's not very fair to be asking people to be quiet when they're in the seats they payed for.

There, I vented. The show is definitely worth the download. I give it a 4 just because for me 5 would be a perfect show. This is good, but not perfect (and it not being perfect has nothing to do with what I said above). Oh yeah, and although I haven't heard any recordings from the Aragon the following night yet, this show was better than Chicago in my opinion.

Hey Kuhndogg you can get a FLAC converter at this site http://flac.sourceforge.net/. As far as the show, simply amazing! I saw was at this show and the 2 following it (Aragon and Orpheum) and this one was without a doubt the best. Everyone was on for this show and they blew everyone's mind in that room including themselves at one point. A must have for any moe. fans lookin to hear moe. at their best. Sound quality is a 4.5 out of 5 and the music coming out is definetely a 5.

Hey this is a great show, but i don't have a flac converter on my computer, can somebody tell me where i can download one cuz this show was great and i'd really like to have it. thanks!

I'm not a fan of the michigan theater and usually let shows go by but i decided to do this one since i had never seen moe in an intimate setting. The room didn't really sound that great but the guys were really on and communicating well. Chuck was on fire especially. outside of him going off like mad the highlight was jims percussion solo. Rob walked over to him with a dumb grin on his face mid solo and held the bass up above the bongos pointing it so as to make it transform to a percussive instrament. at first jim was weary then he grinned back and started wailin away on the strings with his sticks while rob played the frets. appearantly Al thought this amusing as he pulled a camera out of his pocket and started taking pictures. i was thoroughly impressed! these guys have a lot of fun on stage!

This audience recording IMO accurately represents the SQ this night. The vocals are a bit off-balance but this aligns with what I was hearing as well. We were about 4 rows in front of the rig just left of center and the SQ wasn't bad at all.

It's too bad that 30% of the capacity of the Michigan Theater missed out on a good show. But I guess a little more boogie room ain't always bad :-)

Props on being so ambitious on the upload - 1 day!

too bad i walked in during the end of Brent Black. The rest of the first set wasn't anything mindblowing. But the second set is great. Long jams, especially McBain, and Hi/Lo into one of the best TT's i've seen. The first jam teases 'dont' fuck with flo' so bad that i knew what they'd play in Chicago...And Down Boy is a good new tune, very interesting in the verses. Sound quality is good, yes the vocals do get a little lost, doesn't matter though. Get the second set of this show and all of Chicago for good fuckin music.

GET THIS SHOW! I saw the Chicago and Madison show after this one as well and this one was BY FAR the best. There was magic in the room and the band on stage was not the same band I've seen before or after they were so on and emotional and tight.

Many Thanks to John for getting this up. We were set up behind John about 2 rows. I'llo be uploading the Audix Micros>V3 source that I patched from.

The sound on floor was pretty darn good. With Set 2 sounding a bit fuller than set 1. This source sounds very nice. Great show.

The sound at the MI Theater wasn't great, especially upstairs. Considering that, I was amazed by the quality of this recording. The show rocked, good, solid moe.

Thanks to Jon and the other regulars for getting all these shows up here, this one was up the next morning, can't aks for much more that that.

Good show... Vocials a bit muddy. Cannot wait to see how the recording turned out.
