MOE. TO OPEN VENUE IN NYC

I'm not crazy about Moe. but this is going to be a great venue. The article states that it's near some deserted rail-road tracks, which makes it seem like the venue is in a run-down, shady area. Not the case though. The Highline Ballroom is in Manhattan's Meatpacking District which is one of most expensive, swankiest and trendiest neighborhoods. All the bars, restaurants and clubs in the area are mainly frequented by models, celebrities, fshionistas, etc...so i'm curious to see what the scene'll be like on a night that a jamband such as Moe., or Umphreys, or whoever, comes down to play. Can't wait.

moe. = sick

moe. in the meat packing district is where swank meets stank.

Correction...It's where swank meets DANK!

moe.=lame

robothiphopsts9 is gay so is zack velmer hahah dousch.... with his clear set he looks like he wants to be in a coke band in the 80's

u think sts9 has shit on moe.???? think again

HELL YEAH moe. Your amazing!

The Highline is hopping in the month of May.. multiple nights of moe, biscuits, and greyboy, can't wait to see what this new venue is like.

I am still putting my brain back together from moe. at Langerado.

Moe. is sick and they do the coolest things. They give more to thier fans than any band out there. Lotta Love. Lotta mercy

hey moephish2o... when you buyin your plane tix to this one? sounds like your kinda gig... moe, shady-ass train tracks, with a bunch of moerons.

just kiddin, sounds like fun...
how was langerado???

Alright i must admit i use to be a huge moe. fan back in 2002. But over the years not seeing them as much but still seeing them 10-15 times i decided to catch them playing the Rave in The MIL and i was the most bored i have ever been at a show. Now this is my opinion but they just don't seem to have what they used to. Just like Cheese back in 2000-2002. Somewhere along the lines they had something going and lost it. but seriously i was ready to leave the show after being there for 10 mins. And ive never felt that at any other show ever b4.

remember moe. back in 97 ,98, 99, 00, 01, then i thought moe went wrong somewhere, but saw them last year at summercamp, and they were smokin', cool light show too, also cheese never went wrong anywhere, can't really replace billy, about like replacing jerry, just can't do it, jerry could have just stood there and wait a minute towards the end he did just stand there, but he still had that glow, can't really replace that, haven't seen it since. closest thing is the boys playing or cheese onstage. like i said close, but not the same. miss you jerry. anybody out there go to the 97 furthur in denver, remember jerry's face in the clowds, while the wind was blowing about 20-30 miles an hour, sky was red, they were playing down the road. jerry's face didn't move, but the clouds around his face did. amazing. just get the chills thinking about it. fidlers green was the venue. he was giving his approval I guess. beautiful show

that was furthur 98 sorry

Let the good times roll! Won't replace Wetlands, but has the potential to be a special venue. Nice name.

Oh yea, moe. is the perfect band to open her up.

mmm hmmm! great band. best out there. could you pass the salt? thanks.

wilbur = douchebag... Langerado was the shit..

the future is OURS!

these guys = LOVE

what is it...16...17 years!

bands, take note.

Some of you people are crazy...moe. at Langerado was hands down, one of the best performances....Absolutely explosive with a great light show. Couldn't have asked for much more!

Just saw the boys up at the House Of Blues awesome show musically and visually wish i could make it up that way for the shows.

moe. was sick @ Langerado...phantastic set. This sounds like a really cool thing, a park out front (or whatever) and opening with a band like moe., even if not a moe fan, still very cool

Thankfully they are nice people and it's long overdue that an theatre opens to compete with SHITHOLEs like the Starland Ballroom that lure bands away from the city to beat down and arrest our fans after they take our money. Good Job Moe. I can't wait to see Umphrey's there.

congrats moe. what an honor

moe. and Page are playing New York, yea! There are no tickets available, boo! Reminicent of Phish in the later years playing Roseland and Radio City; tix were impossible unless you either got extremely lucky, had a connecttion or were willing to pay a scalper. I got spoiled with the Dead playing their Garden runs. Hopefully moe. and Page will either play more dates at small venues in New York or will also play a larger venue so all of their fans that enjoy seeing them live in their home town will have the opportunity to do so.

moe. at the Central Park Summer Stage last year was sweet. Furthermore,I'd love to see some jambands start to play The Westchester County Center, in White Plains , New York. Way back in the early 70's I've been told acts like Jimi Hendrix, CSN&Y, and Led Zeppelin all played there.

nothing can ever replace the wetlands -- but this looks like a great new venue for jammers nyc-way -- how can anyone hate on moe (sometimes they're not the best) but who is everytime you see them

I dont know how anyone could hate on moe. either! every time i see them im blown away, but even if one show isn't the best doesn't mean they are on some sort downward spiral towards infinately bad music.

anyway, can't wait for summercamp!! :) :) congrats on the venue opening moe.!

800 people isn't very much... i doubt moe. will be coming back to this place anytime soon, especially in NYC. I'm sure it's a really cool place, but if they can sell out bigger theaters all over the country? why would they play for 800 people? I can see younger bands like RAQ and AOD here, but not moe. anyways i'm sure they will be good shows

hey OOGIEBOOGIE... it's real easy to understand. they have horrible vocals and lyrics, and despite totally jamming and reaching that "level" from time to time (which I love), tend to be waaaayy to poppy. My music's got to have some freaky ass soul! see: MMJ, WSP, MMW, et. al
it's really not that hard to understand...

the venue should be nice, i read that the highline train tracks are being converted into a raised park trail with trees and grass, it should be a nice park trial for a city.

Why are tickets not on sale yet it's 3/14? what's up?

moe. is poppy? News to me...

one time i saw moe. and it was jammin'

thanks for furthering your contributions to the "scene"
a noble venture to open a club in NYC as they are already packed with venues but hopefully this will be a successful place
thanks moe. ya'll rock cant wait to see ya again if your summer tour dates somehow cross paths with panics summer tour Then I'll be all over it
peace

why no tickets? there not on sale yet or what?

okayalright!

moe. and SCI rock. Trey blows.

this place is gonna be SICK. packing only 800 with this level of talent, INSANE. bowls will be passed by ALL

moe has a very intricate(or however u spell it)light settup...murat 07 was sick....summer camp here i come....

Hey AJohnson, I have an extra ticket for you to a show you'll love! It's known as the I Live In The Past Tour 2007, and all the imaginary bands appearing are ones you will never see live again. In exchange, all I want is to see you in a straight-jacket in the middle of a groovin' moe. or cheese dance floor, so we can boogie silly round your crazy ass. Enjoy the show!

wooohoo i scored a bunch of tix for this event on ticket web, it's gonna rock!!

I have to sort of agree with AJohnson. Now i wasn't able to see the dead but saw enough Phish. But their really aren't any bands out their that can do the things they did. And the thing i don't like about moe. is i don't need to sit their and listen to a 35 minute song. Thats just ridiculous. Cheese to. They played Summerfest in Milw. and that was another show that was absolutely boring. And like i said in my earlier comment back 5 years ago i was singing adifferent tune about both bands but over the years have come to realize that it was probably all the extra things i did that made it sound so much better. Anyways the scene is going more electronic and i wish their were more funky bands out their. I don't think to many people know about funk. The Newmastersounds thats funk. and fuckit anyways. everyone likes what they like. Everything in life is subjective. We are all going to have different opinions about what we like and what we dislike. If you want to go and see moe. and cheese then doi it but ill pass!

I love moe. :)

AJohnson you're a total douche man, obviously you're not a musician, if you were you would not be saying those ignorant things. SCI is one of the best bands out there rightnow, and it really pains me that they're breakingup....Nershi is a fantastic songwriter/guitarist...Kang is an incredible Mandolin/Fiddle player, and also a great songwriter...Travis is such a ridiculous percussive machine I can't even believe what I see/hear; set & percussion at the same time!.....Hollingsworth is easlily one the best keyboardists out there as well as another great songwriter...and Mosely, although commonly getting a bad rep, really fuses it together and also writes some great tunes. And moe. has great vocals in particular, very well placed backups. You're entirely entitled to your opinion, but if you don't like it just don't listen to it or go see it, it's as easy as that. It's people like you who ruin this website, just keep it to yourself and post something positive about something you do like.

Thanks.

groovephunkster your comment just made my day
I just thought i'd let ya know, funnyshit;)

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but some of you people are so fucking ignorant!! Phish is through, Jerry Garcia is dead,and yes many of the better jam bands have faded away, and different sounding jam bands are becoming more popular. Get over it! But to bash groups like moe. and SCI is absolutely outrageous. NO, they aren't Phish, The Dead, etc, but moe. and SCI are exremely talented! Your negativity is ruining the positive aspects of this site! Heres a site you idiots might enjoy a little more....
www.justintimberlake.com

first of all, i love moe and this is fuckin great that they have the honor of opening up a new venue with a bright future

second of all, bobertjohnson, i couldn't agree with you more, there are way to many d-bags on this site ranting on bands they dont like, and of course that's their opinion, but keep it to your-fucking-selves you bitches! AJohnson can suck my fuckin balls

moe. rockx. played an acoustic gig in Louisville the other day that was the the fucking tits.

Ajohnson, I grew up when the Dead and Phish were touring too. We were lucky; don't know if any modern bands can equal their intensity and musicianship, however, moe. is a strong band. Fishman, Mike, and Dicky Betts have sat in with them; guess they think they're alright. Stay home, there wil be more tix for the rest of us.

I just saw an unbelievable band: "The Ajohnson Experience". They were better than anything I've ever seen. Ajohnson played a gut bustin' bass solo then went on a rant about how great he plays. Then there was this totally kickass expletive laced rant on how terrible the popular bands of the day are. Actually it wasn't a band; it was just the "A-man". Rumor has it that he's such a douchey douche that no one will play with him.

Ajohnson, I'm a musician too (so are Fish, Mike and Dicky). I listen to all types of music and appreciate many different artists. I've managed to get by without your superior musical advice for some time now. By the way, what band/bands do you play in?

cant wait for this shit. anyone have an extra biscuits ticket for me ?

Ajohnson if moe. sucks so much why would all the members of the dead except jerry and all the members have played and toured with moe. and if they play with moe. i think that qualify's them as b eing pretty damn good i doubt you can ever even meet dead members if u dont have to pay u piece of shit

i meant to say and all the members of phish ajohnson is a homo that doesn't kno shit about music

Anyone wanna trade a biscuit ticket for a moe ticket at the highline?? let me know!!

AJOHNSON.....you are undoubtedly, the biggest scum bag on this forum.....Hopefully, some day when your jamming out on stage, someone will come out behind you and break your F*cking Kneecaps with a baseball bat. The jam scene would be a better place if your ignorant ass fell of the earth! Have a nice day you waste of life.

you're all morons.

Saranac on tap!

I would say moe is probably one of the most improved bands in the past 10 years, along with Lotus...they did tear it up in largerando....

Looking to trade 2 moe. Highline tix (5/2)for 2 Kimmock tix at the Gramercy (4/20).
