Ok y'all, I just can't contain my excitement! Classes got canceled today and tomorrow due to weather/flooding around here. Therefore -- I am headed to Memphis tonight (will get in JUST IN TIME for JJ Grey and Mofro to hop on stage), Springfield, MO tomorrow, then Fayetteville, Arkansas Saturday night. I cannot believe my good fortune.
Anybody else gonna be at any of those shows?! I know dweezy will be at Fayetteville. Anyone else??
Ok, sorry, no setlist! Dang, lemme see if I could get today's setlist tomorrow. If not, I'll at least get tomorrow's.
Now, down to business. Y'all -- how amazing!! Whoa!! No kidding there. JJ was in full force. Voice was amazing. Guess, what? Trombone player in the house! Van Battle. I got to chat for a long time with him. In 2 hrs, he is hopping on a plane to go back to NYC. Won't rejoin the band til November or something?
I can't begin to describe what a wonderful night this was. I got to meet all the band members -- nicest guys ever.
The guys played lots of stuff from Orange Blossoms. The title track, Everything Good Is Bad, WYLF, The Truth, She Don't Know, Ybor City, On Fire. Maybe The Devil You Know (?). They also played some awesome stuff from other albums.
I danced my tail off. And I might have had the best night of my life. Can't wait til tomorrow!!!!

Good to see you had a good time Ashley. Sounds like your travels are going well and the guys are really showing up for everyone. Best night of your life? I don't doubt it, that is until you see the boys again of course, and then again, and again, and again...

Mofro for life in Arizona The Rhythm Room is exactly that when the boys are kicking it here. "Walking on Moonlight in the Day."
Ok, I haven't been able to sleep at all! Just remembering some more songs they played: Higher You Climb War Circles Hoochie Coochie Lochloosa Lazy Fo Acre Air DFC Ho Cake Jookhouse
And that's all I remember at the moment. I caught a little on video -- and a few photos. I'll post sometime after I return home.
Yes, the guys are really bringing it. The music was perfect. JJ, AC, Scone, Art, Dennis, Van, and Daryl -- all tight and groovin. The crowd was great. The merch table was busy. All smiles!! Thanks for letting me share the joy!
Hey folks -- It's pretty late here -- 2:30 am in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Just got back from the show at George's Majestic Lounge. That was a phenomenal show. Lemme say -- I have NEVER seen/heard "Florida" played like that. The guys jammed soooo hard.
I got lots and lots of photos and video from the show -- available soon for your enjoyment.
And guess what else? I got a set list. Art himself gave it to me. And he corrected the songs that were changed during the show via "Audible." Meaning, JJ decided to change it up as the show continued on.
Here's the setlist (with changes indicated):
Orange Blossoms WYLF Everything Good Is Bad Lochloosa Lazy Fo Acre (Changed from Air) Higher You Climb DFC Devil You Know Florida Jookhouse On Fire By My Side Ybor City War E: Sun Is Shining Down (Changed from I Believe) Hoochie Coochie Man
Now that I look at the setlist, I don't see "She Don't Know" and they definitely played this. It sticks out in my mind because it was so beautiful. It had a quality that it didn't quite achieve Thursday. And I could tell the guys were a lot happier with it. Nods and approval in each other's direction.
The crowd was big and loud and happy and lovin' it! My friend Liz was so surprised and overwhelmed with "Sun is Shining Down". She leaned against the speakers and felt the vibration as she teared up. It was a pretty special moment all around.
Biggest compliments to JJ and all the band. You have certainly made a lil' o' country gal as pleased as pie. You are awesome and your talent is ever increasing. Until next time!!!

i agree with ashley it was a great show and it was great running into a fellow board member. i was really hoping to hear "i believe" but oh well maybe next time.it was awesome to finally meet jj. I will also agree that they brought it on "florida" i was also able to snatch a set list, although i wasnt lucky enough to get one handed to me from a band member with the changes added lol...i have a video and lots of pics i will try to post as well, its 2:40 in fayetteville so im headin out... ---------- "come on baby, come on yeah"
hey did they end on "How Jr Got His Head Put Out" or did they just start jammin at the end of "hoochie coochie man"??? I have video from them jammin at the end which i thought was that but i was looking over the set list and it wasnt there. i want to post the video but ive never done videos before and cant figure out how to rotate it the right way, im not the greatest on this stuff. haha. hopefully i can figure something out. ---------- "come on baby, come on yeah"
18 songs they played and i swear it only lasted 15 min ---------- "come on baby, come on yeah"
