Medeski, Martin and Wood- HOLY SHIT!!!

Why didn't anyone ever tell me how FUCKING GOOD those guys are? YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! I am still buzzin from their show friday.
I saw them at a very small jazz and blues festival that was separated into GA and VIP. My friends all had the VIP tix but NO ONE was up there except them (about 6 of them) and just a few old people SITTING DOWN!
In GA there were probably about 100 people in all and most of them were sitting down too.
So I had this big bag of mushrooms that my friend had given me and I had shared with all of them, and of course myself, and with 4 really cool people that I met in GA.
So my friends got me up into the VIP section after about 3 songs by removing bracelets and so on and so forth! It was like our own little party with MMW! We were dancing our asses off and I was seeing the guys like this and their faces and eyeballs everywhere and it everything:
And the music was like that too. They were SOOOOOOOOOO Incredible. They were playing so intensley and so on and so tight! WOW. Then my new shroomin friends that I had met and had to leave behind in GA got to come up with everyone else because they opened the VIP gate and it was the tightest most intimate concert I've been to in a long time. It was like "Wind in the willow?s playin? tea for two; The sky was yellow and the sun was blue, Strangers stoppin? strangers just to shake their hand, Everybody?s playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band". We all ate more mushrooms at that point and then continued dancing our asses off!
These pics I found on the internet, but I wish I would have had a camera there because we were pretty much right next to them, and Chris Wood's expressions on his face were priceless. It is so cool how they work together and how tight they are. It seemed like a pretty long show but my man said it was only 1.5 to 2 hours.......wow. I can not wait to see a full show. Then after, this was way up high in the mountains- we went to our friends' hotel room up there which was such a nice room, all raw wood, granite, and concrete- a beautiful place with a balcony that we could see the blue moon and mountains and trees from....we hung out there till really late, trippin and philosophising and talking about dmt.
Anyway, I am still really depressed about not being able to go to coventry, but these guys are so incredible that they have assauged my sadness a lot. I am definitely going to be seeing them as much as possible. Does anyone know if they mostly play smaller venues? Do they ever play bars- cuz that would be da bomb.
Oh and I got to see Sam Bush for free last night and those guys rocked my socks off too. So it has been a good weekend so far! I you all!

I don't like them. I bought Uninvisible, one of the few CD's i own that I count as a waste of money. However, I do like their symbol thingy.

I've never heard their studio albums but can guarantee you need to give them a chance live. But maybe you still wouldn't like them- that kind of crazy music is for the crazy like me.
