did everyone else know video of this show is up on the interwebs? Like perfect, professional video. I did not know this.

[www.wolfgangsvault.com]

although it seems all the song names are off.

WHOA. Thanks for the link! They have 4 full tMG shows up but they are chopped into weird chunks... I'm currently downloading them and I'll patch them together to make a nice long video for each show and post a link up here... stay tuned!

Edit: this is more painstaking than I thought... encoding the Swedish-American Hall show now. I downloaded all the individual song videos but the videos need to overlap to sync up correctly so it takes me a little while to patch the separate videos together. At least I made my weekend productive!]]> butter On The Road Sun, 18 Sep 2011 13:37:34 -0700 http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?3,50055,125063#msg-125063 Re: 2/25/09 Swedish American Hall SF http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?3,50055,125063#msg-125063

This was easily the best show I have ever seen.

Indeed it was. The only show i've been to that came close was the Pitzer show.]]> Caliclimber On The Road Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:27:32 -0700 http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?3,50055,54208#msg-54208 Re: 2/25/09 Swedish American Hall SF http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?3,50055,54208#msg-54208 When I first saw this show was happening, I looked at the date, and my calendar and thought it was hopeless. I would have to be in SF that night, then back to Santa Cruz to work at 7.. after a vicious round of midterms.
Then I got a text from my brother at 2am telling me he bought me a ticket. I'm not sure I have ever been so happy about a drunken 2 am text!

And so long story short, I didn't sleep for +48 hours, failed a few midterms, but I am overly glad I that I did! This was easily the best show I have ever seen.
Thanks John! You made my year!]]> Zigg_Zagg On The Road Mon, 09 Mar 2009 12:24:09 -0700 http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?3,50055,53987#msg-53987 Re: 2/25/09 Swedish American Hall SF http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?3,50055,53987#msg-53987

no not a live dvd, I'm against those in principle for the most part, absolutely would not release a dvd of a show unless it met some pretty stringent criteria (and that's not gonna happen, making new records is more important to me)

I think that's understandable, but I nonetheless hope it happens some day, because it's probably the closest I'll get to attending a show - unless you can squeeze Prague in en route to NC.]]> OMGHEDGEHOGS On The Road Sun, 08 Mar 2009 05:28:34 -0700 http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?3,50055,53879#msg-53879 Re: 2/25/09 Swedish American Hall SF http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?3,50055,53879#msg-53879
The nice man in the cafe told me to "turn your tires towards the street, or you'll get a ticket."

I wanted to say "Turn your tires towards the street, and stay sweet" then bust out into singing Dilaudid. I refrained.

So, I flew into SF from Utah for this show and the talking music gig.

I was in Utah from Atlanta (via the TriCities TN) and flew into San Jose! It would have been so neat to have met someone else who was traveling out for the show!

Well, I have about 7 pics from both nights of shows. If you are interested:

Later she recounted that it was "the kind of hug a person gives a close friend, not a total stranger."


Yes! I was just telling one of my friends my JD-hug story and used almost exactly these same words! I think I would love tMG regardless of how nice/nasty the front-person was, but the fact that JD is such a stand-up fellow who gives his fans real-hugs not "you're some total stranger"-hugs is just utterly wonderful to me.]]> scotlanded On The Road Sat, 28 Feb 2009 03:23:35 -0800 http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?3,50055,53199#msg-53199 Re: 2/25/09 Swedish American Hall SF http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?3,50055,53199#msg-53199
I am pretty new to being more then just a casual fan of the Mountain Goats, but John makes it easy to be obsessed when he treats us all like close friends.

I am a little sad I didn't reach out and meet some of the other forum people. I'll be at the DC show if anyone wants to get a drink before.

Also, why is no one talking about how John Vanderslice was bartending? Talk about a crazy night! Cruise up and JV offers to pour you a beer.

Yeah that's correct - not a big deal, pretty common, people who tape do it too ("I taped the show, do you mind if I share it?") & frankly I prefer it that way - knowing that I'm being recorded tends to diminish my performance, it's one reason you don't hear more new/rare stuff at shows - I look out & see cell phone cameras pointing & the air kinda goes outta me

The setlist is a bit of a touchy subject. John stated that he didn't want people complaining with a new tour and new music rolling out that they didn't get the same songs as the San Francisco crowd. And its understandable, the man's not Wayne Newton; tying him to some of those songs too closely diminishes a lot of the verve of the band.

Not just that but he basically said if he hears people yelling for these songs on tour it will almost guarantee he doesn't play them. Not knowing them may be to people's benefit during the tour! For those who need to know I'm sure the setlist will get out eventually. They always do. :)]]> Caliclimber On The Road Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:43:46 -0800 http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?3,50055,53145#msg-53145 Re: 2/25/09 Swedish American Hall SF http://www.mountain-goats.com/forums/read.php?3,50055,53145#msg-53145
