So grateful to finally hear this Nashville gig, but unfortunately we’re missing what was most likely the most unique part of the evening, the opening improvisations (and a possible performance of Swamp Road). A pumpin’ Pappy gets the 2nd set rolling, moves slyly into ITAHTLMJ, followed by a nice mix of MSMW tunes and other (at the time) newer MMW tunes for a solid groovy set.

MARCH 2007
These March shows that start off 2007 are HOT HOT HOT!!! I love them all and have listened to them often — especially the loose and improvisation heavy first sets from these gigs. I do have to say that I’m just not a huge fan of Oliver sitting in … it’s fine, but I don’t find he *lifts* the band up in their performance, if you know what I mean (and these days I would *MUCH* rather find Chris hanging more with his brothers from other mothers than his bio-bro, but I digress) … nonetheless, some cool moments from him in that 2nd set and great playing from the band … still have the MSMW tunes floating around since at this point they’d recently played the Nov > Dec tour with Sco …
And you know what would be REALLY cool? If the 3/8 gig in Atlanta surfaced:

We had an incomplete copy of Nashville (3/4) pop up a couple of years ago, so there’s always hope … but for now …
enjoy the grooves,

FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN THE UNIVERSE (FAITU#12)
The Shack Project celebrates MMW @25 years!
What we’ve got here is MMW at the opposite end of the spectrum from the 2006 acoustic gigs I’ve been seeding in my 10 YEARS AGO seeds. This show is FREAKIN’ AWESOME! The opening Improv is hot leading > a quick Bass Solo that finds us in a TRIO ONLY version of Miles Behind — and it is incredibly energetic. That energy moves forward to a fun New New Orleans, which is just always a good time. Cat Creeps was a tune we were digging but not knowing the name at this time — it’s temp name had been “Creeping” or something like that though, oddly enough! HA! That tune opens up the remaining run of the set and breaks down to an Organ Intro > Tubby (with a Drum Solo in the middle, which is unusual) > an always welcome Dracula, and a tune that doesn’t often close a set: New Planet. I dig it!

Fuck You Guys was brand new at this time — I think this was it’s 2nd performance, after debuting at the Fillmore in Colorado back in April. We were calling it “Fillmore Freak” for a while until somebody caught site of an onstage setlist at an MSMW gig and saw it was noted as “Fuck You” on one night and Fuck You Guys on another. Its recent release in the 20 download series confirms the title as Fuck You Guys. (Speaking of which, if you haven’t grabbed those 20 studio tracks released this past year, why the hell not?!? Go and get them, NOW!) Baby Goats was still new at this time, dubbed “New ’07” for a while, but actually originating in some Medeski trio gigs outside MMW in the summer of ’06. Back & Forth, always catching flack, was also new at this time — I totally dig the carnivalesque feel to the song, and Chris always tears it up. What’d I Say is some good blues .. but the Spy Kiss > Shackman (aka After the Onsen) and the Sugar Craft to close ends the evening on a high note for sure with Logic helping the guys create some crazy sounds through Set II.
