Yes, I saw moe. in concert, who wants to touch me? I said who wants to fucking touch me?!
The show was amazing. They played a killer "Captain America," and they covered Radiohead's "Karma Police," which was really great. The jams were long and flowing, and amazingly intense. And thanks to the magic of Instant Live, I walked out of the auditorium with a three-CD set of the show I had just seen, so I can listen to it again and again. Joy!
And the light show! Normally, I couldn't give a rat's ass about the lights. But these were incredible, the perfect visual accompaniment to the music, like Christopher Walken dancing to "Weapon of Choice," or Britney Spears with the sound muted. If the music were a physical thing, swirling and spinning, it would have looked exactly like the lights...and over the night it just kept getting better and better. Wild!
Jamie Masefield, of Jazz Mandolin Project fame, came out and joined the band for a phenomenal "Moth," and stayed out for a 40-minute jam that was so entrancing that the entire crowd forgot to smoke pot for at least half of it.
"Yodelittle," "She Sends Me," and "Not Coming Down" were also particularly good. And I got some free bass lessons from a true master, Rob Derhak.
They didn't play "Opium," but somehow I smelled it all night anyway.
