Beloved jam band moe. decided to take their diehard fanbase out to a new location for New Year’s Eve, ultimately settling on The Wilma in Missoula, MT to ring in 2016. The intimate two night run kicked off with a great opening show, but moe. took things to the next level for three full sets of magic on New Year’s.
moe. largely stuck to their original music for the performance, opening with “Meat > Timmy Tucker” to get the party started. They did work in a tune from their recent Quentin Tarantino-themed Halloween, bringing out the beloved instrumental “Battle Without Honor or Humanity.” That song kicked off an awesome second set which saw the band bounce between “Four,” “Rebubula,” and “Yodelittle.”
The third set saw more of the band’s original music, including “Tubing The River Styx > The Pit > Meat” before the big countdown. The show concluded with a “Brent Black” followed by the conclusion of “Meat” – so it’s safe to say this show wasn’t for the vegetarians. They returned for an encore that included “Stranger Than Fiction” before a sweet tribute to Leonard Cohen in the form of “Hallelujah.”
