Quite far,one of the best MMW shows I've ever seen. This guys are such amazing musicians. There ability to blend so many styles into one show, its hard to call them "jazz". A must-see performance for any fan of music.

It is the first time I saw these guys live although have been a fan for a long time. They were amazing! Second time at the venue and it is a loose environment, small but enthusiastic crowd. A couple of loud drunks,wish they didn't serve alcohol and I do like to drink but know when to stop too.

MMW astounds again. So many instruments and such crazy other-world talent, the show was like being ripped out of your seat and being led around the room by your head. Their music literally takes you places, places I didn't even know existed, and cold never find without their guidance. Their music is sheer melodic chaos that borders on madness and deal-with-the-devil skill. Crazy good time that had me alternately breathless, bursting with laughter and cheering them on. This was my second MMW show and I will never miss seeing these cats when I have the chance.

These guys are such intense and skillful musicians...creative, energetic and tons of fun!
I have to wonder, how do they rehearse? Love the variety of unusual instruments. Great live show...I'm not too thrilled about the excessive loud talking throughout the night at the bars, but liked the overall response of the audience...Let's Dance!

A great show from start to finish. MMW know their stuff and blow me away each time I see them perform. The intermission was a bit longer than I would have liked, but well worth it when they took the stage refreshed. This was an acoustic set which means that Medeski did not play his electric organs. Fantastic show, look forward to seeing them again.

The sad thing is the show was far from sold out. There were many empty seats and the balcony was not even opened. All that really means is the people that did not attend, do not know what they missed. MMW even took the time to meet fans after the show in the Bergen PAC lobby to sign posters and CD's. All around, a great show.

What can you say about Medeski Martin & Wood? These guys are an amazing breath of fresh air. For anybody who enjoys great improvisational funky jazzy bluesy music then you will love MMW. Three amazing musicians provide an evening of sublime music. Watching Billy Martin on percussion is really something to see. And Chris Wood on bass is no slouch either. And of course John Medeski. What can you say about him? Aside from being a musical genius he didnt seem to be in the best of moods. Looked like he didn't want to be there. Don't get me wrong, the set was amazing, just he seemed less than happy to be there. After the show the band signed autographs!! I got to meet them! Such good down to earth people. Billy such a nice guy, Chris too!

-The music sound system was great.
-Security didn't have a big "presence" which I think is the way it should be.
-Crowd was fine.
-Parking was no big deal. Plenty of lots just a few blocks around.

Favorite moment: A performer myself, I look at these players as if under a microscope. My favorite moment of this event was receiving the tix and knowing I'd be there. @

Setlist: They covered many recordings, most of which I own as a MMW fan. I did not list the tracks as they played them. Suffice to say THEY SURPRISED EVEN THEMSELVES! @

Opening act(s): As The Culture Room is more of a 'showcase' venue, no opening acts are booked with the headliner. @

About MMW's music: we're talkin' improvisational explorational adventures down to a fine art. Fabulous interactivity, in deed, there were songs within songs, extended OUT soloing, and as the last date of this tour, a 2-set 4 hour show. I can still hear their music circling about in my mind's ear! ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!

About the venue: This particular date was held at The Culture Room. Regarded as one of South Florida's premier venues, even my own band has pondered playing here. ONE MAJOR DRAWBACK: Imagine paying 33 bux to see a group in a premier venue that has NO SEATING. That's right! WE STOOD in one spot like Sardines in a can for the entire show. We won't go back there again, no matter who is booked.

Was hoping for an energetic funky show based on reviews and CDs .
Venue said show to start at 8pm , wrong! That's when the doors open.
Show didn't start until 9:25 and we had to endure a room filled with cigarette smoke while
Old Frank Zappa videos " warmed up the crowd".
The band then opened with 2 slow introspective , belly button gazing songs.
My companions bowed out and we soon followed.
