The Chameleon Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hey y'all Intersested to know what you guys think are moe.'s best years? I have seen them 10 times or so. mostly in the late 90's to early 2000's and I am curently listening to a 1998 show that is smokin'. I am leaning towards thinking that like Phish they're best years (so far) are 1998/1999. I've seen them a bit here and there in 2005/2006 mostly a festivals for a few songs and they didn't blow me away like before. But maybe it's just the venue. How are the 2006 shows, those of you who have been to Chicage recently... P.S. what wa the last album they released? Been a while, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 P.S. what wa the last album they released? Been a while, no?The last studio album they've released was Wormwood, in February, 2003. The new release, The Conch, is available for )pre-)order, and it'll ship "on the Friday before the January 23, 2007."Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Yeah I thought it was a while. I liked Wormwood too.,, oraginc yet electronic in places..."Who's got my heady moe. Canadian tour?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyp Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 There are those who would disagree with 98/99 being highlight years for Phish. I think the arc of greatness began around Clifford Ball and came down on the Island Tour.As for moe. I think 2003 and 2004 were great years. And I think they are still going strong.

slavetothegroove Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Never been dissapointed with a moe. show. They're not shy of the jams, and always look like they're having tons of fun. I guess In my opinion, the past several years since the Wormwood release have been most solid.Realllllly looking forward to seeing them on New Years in NYC. One month from tommorow...hell yeah.Anyone else hittin this up?CheersSteph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 The best moe. show I saw was 7.11.98. To this day it might be the best concert I've ever witnessed. It was a real eye opener for me and I've loved moe. ever since. The venue was a small theatre right above an art gallery. No Doy was just released and they were still developing their following. But those in attendance witnessed one of the highlights of my concert going career.In fact moe. references this show right before the encore on 7.18.98 (Warts and All 4) and mention that we were one of the loudest/best crowds they have played to. Thats simply because the show was off the hook. So for me, I liked moe. the best when they were a four piece back in 1998.07/11/98 7th House, Pontiac, MISet I: Head, Spine Of A Dog, She Sends Me, Backwoods, Nebraska, Akimbo, Time Again, MexicoSet II: St. Augustine, Big World> Meat> Telstar> Meat, Water, Don't Fuck With Flo> Fire> I Know You Rider, Letter Home, RebubulaEncore: Brent Blackthe setlist might not look like much but it blew my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakis Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I think they are a great band. The bonnaroo set was good but not as good as the shows the other shows I witnessed this year. My favorite show this year and the most enjoyable moe. show I saw was there Central Park performance. I too am attending the New Years show in New York and can't wait.cheers,Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 i only started seeing moe in 2001 so can't really respond there.but from 2001 to 2005 of the shows i've seen i'd say 2004 was the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 07/11/98 7th House, Pontiac, MISet I: Head, Spine Of A Dog, She Sends Me, Backwoods, Nebraska, Akimbo, Time Again, MexicoSet II: St. Augustine, Big World> Meat> Telstar> Meat, Water, Don't Fuck With Flo> Fire> I Know You Rider, Letter Home, RebubulaEncore: Brent BlackI found two sources for that one: an audience source, and a soundboard source (there's patch in the aud source from the sbd source).Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I've seen moe every year since '98 and have to agree with Swan - there was a real electric energy and 'newness' back then. That 7th house show is the best club show I've ever seen by any band. I'm a big fan of moe with only one drummer. It greatly increases their dynamic range. Rather than the unwavering wash of sound the percussionist adds, the band is free to bounce around from really heavy to really light within the same song/jam.Maybe its the power of the zeitgeist - I think Phish was peaking at the same time.

Guest Low Roller Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 The recent shows where Al wasn't around would probably be the best ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cully Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 what the fuck are you talking about LR? It is all about Al. Chuck is good, but Al is the man. I have seen the boys over the years and I would say that they are playing better than ever...just listen to the 2nd night of the Chicago run and you will see what I mean... moe.
