Matthew Good 2012 Us Tour

[bishopx]

Is anyone going to the AZ show?

[foats]

Pittsburgh anyone?

[theladymargaret]

Sorry... only Niagara and Rochester

[uglyredhonda]

For anyone who hadn't seen this on Matt's website - "Rabbits" acoustic. One word: AWESOME.

 

 

(It seems like he's spent a long time trying to figure out how to play this acoustically, and it's great to see such a brilliant take.)

 

/continuing to kick myself for not being able to catch this tour

Wish people would start holding their camera the other direction. Thanks to them for filming though!

Good grief, this. There seriously needs to be PSA or something.

Setlists are up on setlist.fm....Order the songs are in is almost certainly incorrect, But what was played should be right.

[foats]

Adam, How long were the shows? Did you notice anybody taping?

[adam_777]

hmm, both shows were shorter than the Media show.

Seattle was probably an hour and 45 minutes and Portland was maybe a little over 2 hours. Didn't notice anyone taping unfortunately, just lots of cameras and phones recording bits and pieces of songs.

Driving 240 miles up from Houston to Dallas to see Matt. Sad to say maybe for the last time in the states. I just don't understand why people here wont play his music.

[bishopx]

As far as I'm concerned Matt, I owe you a great deal for the impact your music has had on my life. I had the honor and privilege of meeting you in Buffalo several years ago. I am saddened by the fact that so few here in the lower 48 have had the chance to experience your music. I was lucky enough to have MM in New England, back in the 90's which is how I was exposed to MGB. I have been a fan ever since. I'm a big boy, and I can afford a trip to Canada to see you perform, and if that's my only option at some point, then so be it. Considering what your music has given me, it would be worth it.

 

It bothers me that there is room here for so many subpar performers to make an impact, and that a truly talented, non-prefab artist, feels that they may never have an impact in the US. I know that I am just one person, and compared to a music industry designed for the soul-less purpose of making rich execs richer, that may not mean much, but I want you to know that your music can and does make a difference.

 

Thank you Matt for everything, and when you're on stage here in Arizona on Saturday night, I'll be the one yelling THANK YOU at the end of the show, and I'll be bringing three more people to introduce to your amazing gift, and yes sir if given the honor, I would gladly buy you a drink. It's the least I can do for someone who without even knowing it made a difference on one of my darkest days.

Holy crap, that's a great setlist! I might try a little harder to make it to one of his Texas shows...

 

 

EDIT: Anybody from Louisiana want to carpool w/ a complete stranger to one of Matt Good's shows next week? I promise I'm not a serial killer, lol

 

EDIT 2: though I probably would kill to hear "Suburbia" live... :whistle:

Fine Art from San Francisco. After a few false starts...

 

[ToadMan]

I'm so glad someone caught that on video. That was one of the most interactive parts of a show I have ever been at. Brilliant.

[Gomo]

Thanks for posting that. Very nice video.

[Vance]

That setlist is incredible. What an encore!

[Moonlight_Graham]

Anyone have a recording of MG playing Omissions of the Omen this tour?

Edited February 18, 2012 by Moonlight_Graham

[prototypepariah]

wow sounds like this has been an awesome tour for "us" the crowd. can't wait for philly!

[foats]

Shows look to be going well. I am always surprised at the songs people record for youtube though. How many "Avalanches" "Alert Status Reds" can we see? I'd be dying to hear omissions or zero orchestra acoustic. Any of the new or rarer songs since you don't know when they will be played again.

[Crusader]

I hope he checks out the Albuquerque Rattlesnake Museum and gets a snake mug. I would go to Albuquerque just to get one of those mugs and to see where Breaking Bad is filmed.
