bONES Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Question: When did Jim James become Yim Yames ?just wonderin...edit:never mind, just read thisJames, who has lately been producing solo material under the moniker Yim Yames, concurs: “It was very peaceful and hilarious. No ego. No drama. Just a lot of song-trading and ideas floating around and good times. We worked hard on the songs and the ideas, but it never felt strenuous or rushed.

bONES Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 hell ya...tonight folks!looking forward to some great tunes by some seriously talented guysoutside of the MOF stuff, I am hoping for a fuel for fire from M. and if the brakeman turns my way from Conorwho else is going?

zero Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I doubt M. Ward will be playing the 'hits' like Fuel or Helicopters. I'd like to hear some Transfiguration of Vincent shit or more Transistor Radio like I'll Be Yr. Bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 'If The Breakman Turns My Way,' would be awesome and I'd love to see Conor bust out 'Middleman.' Other than that, I'm going with no expectations, other than it's going to be awesome, and no ticket... yet... Stoked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Actually, M. Ward has been playing some of his solo "hits". I'm really hoping Jim plays a solo version of the greatest song he's ever written: "I Will Be There When You Die".I'm in Row F or something like that. I left my tickets on my fridge, so I can't verify my seats, but I'm up close, just off centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Upstairs at the Imperial (it's called the Library Pub). Downstairs is more "colourful".There's also PJ O'Brien's, the Irish Embassy and Pat Quinn's.I'm heading over right after work to the venue; I'll be drinking a few downstairs at Massey's cool bar.

bONES Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 that was unbelievably beautiful last night. Yim Yames voice is incredible and it filled the room whenever he stepped to the mic. I LOVE M.Ward too. His songs, his guitar playing, his voice. I loved every minute of the show and for half of it I swear all the hair on my arms were standing up and I had goose bumps! the best part of the evening had to be the Dear God (my fave track off the new album) and then they went into a ROCKIN' Vincent O'Brien (my fave M.Ward song). That's the 3rd show in a row at Massey Hall that I have paid $20 and scored a great seat to see a wicked good band Thanks Monsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Great great show last night. I didn't hear one bad or subpar song during the concert's 2 1/2 hours, which is something I can't recall experiencing before; heck even The Who and Stones have some dogs in their live catalogue.Highlights for me include Conor and Jim doing a duet version of "I Will Be There When You Die", several M. Ward-led Monsters of Folk tunes and Bright Eyes solo stuff; Conor acted more as a sideman to Ward and James on the night and I think being in this allstar band keeps his eccentricities in-check to some extent.The encore was a let-down though; just one song, "His Master's Voice", followed by waves of feedback a la Evil Urges.

bONES Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 The encore was a let-down though; just one song, "His Master's Voice", followed by waves of feedback a la Evil Urges. that's how I felt too.His Masters Voice was incredibly beautiful, but from the looks of past shows setlists they were busting out 3 to 4 song encores.Oh well, after such a great night of music I could only leave with a huge smile on my face.

YearsAlongTheSea Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Last night was amazing. I loved the variety of arrangements. everything from switching instruments to switching the line-up on stage. Solo's, duets, full band; they did it all. It was like a circus of folk. Every time the lights dropped between songs there was an element of suspense and surprise as to what would come next. I'd love to see a set list as one of my highlights from the evening is on the tip of my tongue, but I still can't place it. I think it may have been a cover. 'Map of the World' was hauntingly beautiful and M. Ward blew me away with the few solo tunes he played. I never realized how proficient he was on guitar. Anyways, all in all a spectacular show. Again, if anyone has or knows where to find a set list, I'd be much obliged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YearsAlongTheSea Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Thanks Jaimoe. It was Smokin' from Shootin' I was thinking of. Never heard the tune before but it just sounded so familiar (maybe elements of Springsteen's 'Glory Days') and it just raged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
