Same! Came out the gates swinging with the Heatbreakin Man opener. That Run Thru > National Anthem > Run Thru with the Slayer Raining Blood tag?? ā ļøā ļøā ļø what a fun ass set list. Had a bunch of coworkers there. Wish I lived closer and could have made that show.
THE FACT THAT MY HEARTāS BEATING IS ALL THE PROOF YOU NEED!
This song means so much and has done so much for me and so many other people.
Itās not even fair to put this on a scale. Thereās nothing like it in all of music.
If you canāt give this song 10/10, can you even call yourself a Jacket fan?
10 it's pretty much their general consensus best song they've written, it got even better live. If you've yet to listen to red rocks 2019 steam engine go on archive and find a recording now. You won't regret it.
My absolute favorite song of all time. Seen MMJ almost 20x and had only heard Steam Engine twice before the Fillmore run. Prior to night three, I had heard Knockin on Heavenās Door as many times as steam engine - crazy! It has just been one of those songs that always seems to elude me. I knew I was gonna hear it at some point, and when the song intro started that night the emotions hit me almost instantly. I donāt know what it is but that song just unlocks something inside me. Had happy tears streaming down my face almost the entire 18 mins. A perfect moment. A perfect song. 10/10.
10. Might be the best build-up song in their arsenal. And definitely is awesome done live!
I love how it starts out so dreamy with soaring guitar, then comes to full steam ahead by the end.
10/10 perfection, I love how this song has evolved in concert and the extended jam outro. I have had a couple of days where Iāve listened to it on repeat. Brilliant
10. On my Jacket Mount Rushmore and even further up the chain for the studio recording also being perfect in addition to the ethereal live recordings and performances Iāve heard / seen over the years. The only track that might be ahead of Steam in my personal ranking is Dondante because I have the closing lyrics and bird tattooed on my arm.
10. The first time I heard this song live I knew this was my band. It gave me so much hope at a time in my life when I desperately needed it. The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need ā¤ļø
Yeah, this sub has a real Issue with dissent. To be fair, every sub does. Itās just disappointing when Jacket fans canāt be kind, or accepting of another fan just because of our different opinions. I mean, come on, this isnāt the Phish subreddit.
Just deeply, deeply saddening. Of all the bands that would welcome open conversation about their music, MMJ is at the top. But when their fans become gatekeepers and āhrrdrr my fAvoRite song has to be a 10 or u are moronā, well, I canāt imagine the band would appreciate all the flamelords that call themselves fans.
A downvote is kind of like a nonverbal way of having āan open conversation,ā but people are downvoting because there was some hope that maybe there would be a 10/10 song to somehow come out of this feed. Many of us consider MMJ to be the greatest band ever and are hopeful that there might be the slightest chance that at least one song would be considered perfect. But we live in a world where people vote less than 10 just because everyone else voted 10. So punk rock!
You continue to make my point for me. People act like if you donāt give Steam, or Lay Low, or Wordless, a 10 with a bullet, that they are somehow desecrating the the band, and also pissing on the people who did give the song a 10.
I gave the song a 9.7, not a 1. You donāt get to decide you are a bigger, wiser, somehow āmoreā of a fan because you gave it a 10. You donāt get to decide whether Iām a ātrue fanā or not based on if Iām in lockstep with your appreciation of the band.
And its pointless to even continue this because the sense of entitlement, as well as an acute lack of tolerance for objectivity, in this thread particularly, from the commenters who think not getting a perfect 10 āruinsā their experience and their hopes for their songā¦on an internet poll.
Iām going to ignore the test of this. You know what, I think Iāll go listen to Steam Engine and enjoy it to my heartās content. Even if I donāt think itās a 10. Gatekeepers canāt take that away.
This is a really good point, I rarely listen the album version but favour the really long live versions. There is a version from the Greek last year that just hits the spot. The section where Jim starts soloing as the ābelieve Iās are fading out before Carl joins on the sax, itās sublime. Nothing like the album but itās still MMJ playin Steam Engine and itās a 10 for me.
I was pretty early to the scoring so I didnāt realize we were *doing that*. Assume the 10 billion out of 10s will balance out the 0.1 i didnāt give it.
10 billion/10 their best song. Listening to it from the Detroit show nowš¤©
Was so pumped to see it was on Nugs when I opened the app this morning! What a show!

10. This song makes me weep. 2019 Red Rocks Steam Engine with the disco ball is one of my favorite life moments.Ā

This gonna be our first perfect 10? 10.

10/10 perfection, I love how this song has evolved in concert and the extended jam outro. I have had a couple of days where Iāve listened to it on repeat. Brilliant
10. They opened with it in Milwaukee last summer and I almost died.
I will hunt down anyone who doesnāt rank this at 10

If a live version didn't exist, I'd give it an 8.2. But live it's just too good. 9.6

Bad bot. Throw this score out.
So edgy š
Downvotes on a 9.9?! You all are tough.

ā¦you know what you did
Whatās the reason itās canāt get that extra .1? Thatās a serious question, Iām curious why.
