[zschelske1]

9:40 ... drops the $16,000 guitar like he just doesn't give a fuck.

[superspeed610]

Dropping his guitar to the floor before the solo must be the only bad noise he's ever made

[Jonnytraxx]

what a FUCKING performence! unbelievable.

[trumpetgod2010]

My band plays slow dancing and it's by far my favorite song to play ever. It gives me goosebumps everytime. But I sometimes wish we were playing this song.lol

[cgrabeman]

does anyone know what song he goes into @ :38 ?

[mabie551]

@cgrabeman Sounds a little like castles made of sand by hendrix

[We5Raffa]

haha im pretty sure the lady, gets pissed that she was wrong but's shes like i knew it. and then she says SHIT ahah i love it, but this vid is very kool

[Georgiluba]

this is AWESOME!

[MikeKingJSM]

Thanks for uploading. I search a lot of jm videos on youtube and yours are by far some of the best. Not only should you have talked as much as your heart desired. You should have sung too! That would have been awesome!

[Dearheartful]

Thank you so much for posting this! Now I can relive that night over and over again! What an awesome concert this was!!

[mateolewismusic]

hey socalprincess, where did u get the audio from?

thanks : )

[socalprincess]

@mateolewismusic hey, audio is straight from the camera.

[cgentile1]

PS You don't get a lot of the points I made, I'm not calling you out for being wrong, I'm calling you out for being selfish in the end. I thought you were trying to share the show with people and you just wanted to hear 1 song (I really wish he played that in NY but we did get Covered in Rain, but your version of Going to California/Stop This Train is the greatest) I would watch JM play nursery rhymes for eight days in a row and only stop to chat with him and smoke weed.

[cgentile1]

:(Yes you're right. Sorry I'm being an internet troll. Next time you should take the show in and be more there, you're absolutely right I want to thank you again for the videos that brought me and my friends tons of delight. Next time there is a JM show in Long Island or California, I hope we are both there dancing and singing along instead of filming it with our digital camera thingies and if we want a visual reminder of how awesome he was we can always go back to these awesome videos you took.

[cgentile1]

You have such awesome videos, STOP TALKING THROUGH THEM IF YOU'RE NICE ENOUGH TO FILM. You're making yourself sound so silly because you assumed it was Slow Dancing the whole time and then when you realized you were wrong you basically sighed, that was effing awesome just enjoy it and sing along.

[socalprincess]

@cgentile1 First of all, I recorded this for myself and my friend, and it was her first JM show. We paid good $ to go to his show for our own enjoyment, not so that we could record video clips for the youtube community. We decided that if they were uploaded anywhere, we would use the audio recorded by tapers, so that we could talk freely and enjoy ourselves - while still trying not to talk much in the middle of songs. Those audio recordings were contaminated by talking of nearby concertgoers

[socalprincess]

@cgentile1 throughout the entire show, so they weren't released. Our audio was the next best thing, and better than nothing. You'd prefer to hear us singing along the whole time? We intentionally did not sing, because we wanted to hear him on the video!

Second, Slow Dancing was the only song that I wanted him to play. I didn't "assume it was Slow Dancing the whole time" as you said - rather, I was enjoying the moments of his adlib intro, hoping it actually was the one song I was looking

[socalprincess]

@cgentile1 forward to, and sharing that with my friend, who knows how much I love that song. You might have even heard me say "I think I might get my wish." It could have gone either way. The "sigh" after realizing it was Gravity, and even when my friend repeated it, was because I was disappointed it wasn't MY song - not because I "got it wrong"... I mean seriously?

I am not a professional...I am a fan. I appreciate you acknowledging the quality of the video, but really it's not worth it to

[socalprincess]

@cgentile1 me to be rigid and silent during a concert, for the sake of a personal video, or for fear of being judged on a website. I decided to upload them because I wanted to share my experience with other fans.. however your comments make me question whether I should have in the first place.

[surfer1211]

@socalprincess

Haha sorry, but Gravity came up instead of "Your Wish." You should've dropped $30 for a lawn seat for the show in Irvine two days later. That's the one I went to. I wanted to go to this one also but didn't get a ticket in time. He played Slow Dancing in Irvine; it was epic to say the least! I've seen it twice actually because he played it at Staples Center when I went! Hah I'm sorry you didn't get to see it; it really is a gem live. Great videos btw, I thank you greatly for them!

[socalprincess]

@surfer1211 I know :/ I drove to Phoenix (family there) 5 days before the HB show, you'd think Irvine would have been an obvious choice as well! But alas, I was kicking myself that I didn't think to buy tickets to Irvine as well, since the set lists to the two I went to were nearly identical. I heard it was also an amazing show! Never again!

[surfer1211]

@socalprincess

Oh btw, how did you still record audio if you were changing your battery? Did you have multiple cameras/audio recorders with you? It must have been some set up to get this quality of recording. Thanks again haha; and you did seem pretty disappointed that Slow Dancing didn't come up. I know it must've sucked but it almost was a dis to Gravity haha; I really could care less it was just funny to hear your disappointment even as a classic is about to be played! Haha thanks again!!

[socalprincess]

@surfer1211 Very observant! I spliced out audio from another concert and matched it up the best I could... seems to have worked out pretty well!

[socalprincess]

@surfer1211 About Slow Dancing - I could see how someone viewing this video could make the assumption I was dissing Gravity, haha - but it's not that at all. Just that SD is seriously, my FAV FAV JM song, and I've never gotten to see it live. Talk about bad luck! This was my 3rd and final show of the year, it was my one wish... and although Gravity is fantastic, he plays it at nearly every show. My friends one wish was Edge of Desire - she got her wish and it brought her to tears! I didn't. :(

[MSilva62]

Seriously thank you for putting this up. Took me right back to being at the concert. So awesome, I got goosebumps all over again. =]

[texasnewborn]

WOW! Kills that guitar every time at the end of Gravity.
