I was living in Pahoa HI in 94 and was the original shack man. I had to move out because my landlord said his musician friends from the east coast were coming to town. I was kind of resentful but saw them play later and was impressed. Had no idea who they were but years later I heard shack man and it all clicked.
WTH lol kinda rude of them
this band is amazing live
Truly one of the best I’ve seen
I was just searching for MMW and this was the first thing that poppeed up. I saw them around the same year and that shit changed my brain for life.
Hell yeah
there was/ is just simply nothing like MMW live shows in the 90's - period end of discussion. have seen them 7 times and every one was amazing.
Amazing. Did anyone else ever listen to stuff like this and think : Maybe THIS is why mankind has eveoled for aeons : to make art/music/creations like this. To be able to share it, Widely.
Yes. Yes I did
100%
THANK YOU!!!! This was the year I discovered them thru a local college Jazz DJ friend. 25 years years later, and still they give me a spring in my step, and a groove in my bones. Seeing them live was always a treat, and hearing this just makes me feel good. Viva MMW !!!!!!!
I love this show almost as much as I love my memories of JFJO back in the day.
awwwww man, very kind of you!
Thank you for this!! I'm shocked that MMW doesn't self release more live shows. They have done so many interesting things over their career...there's just an un-ending supply of material there. I would be totally on board for a live series that documents all the craziness.
Great quality! God i miss going to shows 😢
Came Out Swinging for the first fifteen and sit you down and let you catch your breath before they melt you!
MMW and you with Jacob Fred both played at the Berkfest I went to, the final year of it. MMW played their usual wonderful self, JFJO I caught a late night tent set, you guys played "loopy", as I call it, constant tempo changing, very out, but people were dancing! I personally loved it.
Where did this show occur? Fox in Boulder? This was around when I saw them for the first time at the Covered Dish in Gainesville....they made a lot of fans that night. Started trading for tapes of their shows next day!
I saw them in 1995 in a small coffee shop in Moorhead MN. There was about 15 people there. It also changed my life. Thanks for uploading this!
I saw these guys about this time at The Astoria Theatre ( London, pulled down a long time ago).
One of the best gigs I've been to.
If Rush were a jazz band.
Cool upload, thanks for making it available for us to listen to.
Massive thanks to your buddy for recording it.
Cheers,dude.
Subbed.
this is when they were killing it
...for me it was 10/18/01 in St. Paul, hope that one turns up here some day; I only have a partial...thanks for the upload!
...love Electric Beethoven!
I've seen like, ummmm,....15 shows, and this is absolutely a high contender.
nice. thanks for this. Listened a couple times now. I was 16 in '95 and am pretty sure the first time I saw them was '95. Sometimes I wish i took better notes, but i'm guessing i've seen them 50+ times since. fair winds and following seas senor mathis.
Their shows all need to be remastered and released in 24 bit. Too much amazing music to have to just find on TH-cam when the algorithm allows so.
The Shack Project 👍
Super-sympa. J'adore cette formation....
Reed, I’m pretty sure we had this tape for BnP. Paul and I lived near the Midway, before it had shows, of course (which is how we all met at the Deli). I heard this in the dye shop a lot.
This is candy. What a delicious treat! Thank you!
2 mins and I already know I struck gold. Sounds awesome! Thanks for uploading!!!!!
First Class jazz ever ! For me
What up Drum Room, so nice to hear you again. Hugs
I totally agree "Best show ever" which shouldn't minimize any of their other work.
I really had to massage my brain back to its original shape after this show melted it.
Audio quality is also excellent. Thx for posting!!!
I like their shows from the Tonic around Y2K. They were very trippy.
Still tryin to find a MM&W version of Eminence Front. They played it at an early Wanee Festival. Insane.
i like a challenge and I see the set list for 4/14/2006 Wanee does not include eminence front. and it's the only time they played that fest, I can only find it when John played it with the M&M's in the 2014-2016 era
holds up
Damn these kids are sick! Best improv jazz funk fusion band in my humble knowledge of music's ear love. EnJoY33
sickie bruh, gawd they need to tour. Reed, those jfjo shows at the mercury ATX were epic!
Hey Reed man! I searched "MMW" in youtube and you was the first result with this treasure, here. Props amigo! First time I saw JFJO was a "life-changing musical moment," indeed. It was upstairs at Rudyard's Pub in Houston, TX in January or February 2002. Then one time i was on a Mississippi river boat queen during voodoo fest in New Orleans in like '06, catching a sick groove on the packed dancefloor of a Greyboy Allstars Show. Who was I to see playing a stellar (and straight ahead) funk bass, but Mr. Reed Mathis, the avant-guard hero. Do you remember me Reed when I shouted out to you between songs and asked you to "play some weird shit!"? I recall making ya laugh. Anywhoozle, Karl D. shouted you out on the mic right after that, and I felt pretty cool. Good day, Sir.
Thanks so much for posting such an epic moment of your life. These guys changed my life in such a huge way. I love this performance. They do some really wild stuff. Is actually more diverse than the one that helped me. Mine is this…. You know what? This is MMW in a primal state. This is what I experienced and it was profound. Your video seems even more OG and it’s epic. Thank you.
this is so good!
No doubt I feel the energy in this show I was in Baltimore Md in 1995 I remember MMW coming to Baltimore , Wilmers Park MD festivals and 9:30 club in DC... I’ll never forget these guys and actually I ate a fresh gel tab this morning and here I am learning all over again that they got the Recipe
Dooood. Galactic and MMW at the 930 club backin 02 was my favorite show of all time. That shit was grimy. They still had the chop shop going next door
Also too. Years down the road. I have been blessed to set foot on stage with John and provide my visuals behind him along with Adam Deitch and Skerik as DRKWAV.
@@aaronmtn1080 right on brother , that’s cool 😎
Hell ya thanks Reed!
The ELP of the jazz world.
???
This show should be called "Fuckin' killin' it (on the keys)"
It’s funny how I’m just now finding this. Reed that’s funny because this period of MMW IS life changing stuff. Thanks for sharing. Did you tape it?
My friend Jake Cudek taped it right from the board
But I did some heavy remastering on it
Saw them a few times in the 90’s here in Colorado small venues
They way they creep in with the songs
An elixir.
Woohoo
💿💿💿💿
This shit rules
I wore this tape out. Best "Lonely Avenue" I've ever heard.
for real!!!
Do you have the audio available in FLAC or SHN? It's not on Etree of The Shack Project. Thanks!
I transferred it off the actual cassettes recorded at the show by my friend Jake Cudek. Recorded it into Ableton. It's never been in a FLAC or SHN format
@@reedmathis4623 Hey Mathis, it's a really great sounding gig. Do you have some hq-mp3 of this you could share somewhere? Greetings, Mike
So that's a bootleg recording or it's available for off-line pleasure?
so much amazing energy. where was the show?
Kansas City MO. Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey was the opener. I was 18. :). A shortlived venue there called The Drum Room
@@reedmathis4623 Rad. I was 15 then, so not making it to many shows yet. 96 or 97 was when my band director first dropped MMW (and Jaco) on me and my life was forever changed (may he rest in peace). I saw y'all at least 10 times a few years later in Denton and Dallas. And that dope NYE show in Tulsa!
@@alangunn3850 did you know that both Medeski and Martin played in Jaco's bands in the mid 80's? Jaco even tried to take Medeski on a Japan tour when he was a senior in highschool! his mom said no way.
@@reedmathis4623 aha! true
@@reedmathis4623 oh wow, I had no idea! thanks for the intel. my mom probably would have said no as well. I guess I would tell my kid no too, as that wasn't his most stable era.
Close, but not the cigar. Same tour, however.
Your comment is ironic because the phrase is "close but no cigar."
@@whatdothlife4660 Sorry, I have never been very good with commas.,.
@@whatdothlife4660 I used to use the soundboard to the show, to which I refer, while making love to beautiful women. I am sure I still have on CD. It was in NY. Their ever evolving tune 'oscillation' opened.

start of 2nd set at 1h in is a rager. whole show is transcendent. so many amazing amalgamations of collective musical enlightenment and catharsis. these were some good ol days. i saw them several times in the late 90's in OH/PA
