10/20/11 sounds like a perfect date for a Nashville show
and
also a venue they have never played (but played very close by to this venue)
any takers?
Yeah imdont see them playing three nigh in a row in Europe and then coming straight to Nashville the next night. Just saying
what are you talking about?
playing SC on 10/21/11
nashville fits perfectly into their schedule
Where are you seeing this?
Nevermind

saw them the last time they played nashville......or should i say that i saw as much as i could through the non-stop barrage of glowsticks being hurled at the band.
So Bridgestone has an open date.. but thats way too big for them..
It will be a "memorable" night..
not bridgestone
That leaves only the new ampitheatre, since You said its not ryman, and the other places in town have shows.
Cannery? haha
Where are you seeing news about a Nashville show? I don't see anything about it anywhere. Please don't play with my emotions like this. I'm sensitive when it comes to my MMJ shows :)
War Memorial Auditorium? I'm going to see M. Ward there next week. Do I need to join RollCall to find this stuff out?
if you aren't in roll call you don't know about or have access to tickets for the entire winter tour ending with NYE in Detroit. You should get a public announcement next sunday though....
Thanks.
i was kidding i hope you don't join based on that comment we know nothing before the public !
I didn't. Are you going to the Nashville show? I don't love War Memorial, but I would definitely go.

They will be holding on to black and GOLD metal..
The date may be 10/22/11 now not Thursday night
Should have all of the info this week or next week at the latest

Oh! That is so much better! Vanderbilt's gym is way bigger than War Memorial. And the 22nd would be so much easier to get someone else to go with me.
Assuming they play Memorial it is fair to say they have played more different venues in Nashville than your average big name band
Ryman
Riverfront
Lawn at Vandy
Memorial Gym
Municipal
What am I missing? Exit/In?

They played Exit/In 2x; also played The Slow Bar and City Hall (now closed).
Memorial Gym? Fuck.
Yes, Vanderbilt Quake --

keep your eye on this site.. I was orginally told Thursday the 20th but this site says Saturday the 22nd but typically it is on Friday nights which wont work with their Schedule..
There will be some other decent acts as well..
What is the Slow Bar now?

The show at University of Kentucky earlier this year had THE WORST crowd ever
The only other possible venue I could imagine in Nashville is the new Woods Amphitheatre at the Fontanel Mansion. I know some big acts have been coming through since they opened recently (Widespread for example).
I hope to God they don't play at Vanderbilt. My worst concert experiences in Nashville ( I live here) have all been at Vanderbilt. And it has never had anything to do with disappointment in the band. Those students are the worst and have no respect for the bands or the music. It always ends up being a Fratboy douchebag & Sorostitute ho-down. Last show I saw there (The Flaming Lips) I left telling myself I would never go to another show at Vandy. MMJ would be the only band I would break this self-imposed rule for.

well hopefully Memorial will be a little better than the lawn for Flaming Lips and MMJ years ago since there is some organization and most of the students will be on the floor in the same area
if it is Saturday night it will be trouble as well bc that is homecoming and the students will have been drinking since early in the AM with no stopping

Maybe homecoming would convince them not to go....
no, unfortunatley this is what you do for homecoming.. drink all day.. football game (most dont go to) concert/party at night
NoCode is right about that. It looks to be as enjoyable a crowd as the Tuscaloosa show unless it happens at a different venue. Granted not all of Vanderbilt are frat boys and sorority girls.
back to 10/20/11
http://calendar.vanderbilt.edu/calendar/cal_list/2011/10/20 (http://calendar.vanderbilt.edu/calendar/cal_list/2011/10/20)
Keep in mind, wherever the show is, it probably won't be an amphitheater. It'll be awfully cold by late October.

I'm not saying it's freezing, but bands don't usually play amphitheaters that late in the year.

True, but just excited they are playing in nashvegas again.
It just seems really odd to me that they would do a one off date in Nashville for no apparent reason or tour. ya know.

Tell me about it, Tracy. I live in Lewisburg just south of you, and sometimes just getting back home from Nashville seems like too much effort. Particularly at three in the morning and especially if I have to go to work the next day. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I only live once and why the hell not go!

haha attempted to line dance in chacos in lewisburg, they didn't take to my kind too well.. i woke up with this nashville text as well today, guess its true.
Chacos? Lewisburg isn't known for taking to well to anyone's kind. I've lived here for 13 years and I'm still considered an outsider. Not that I mind much.
so is this announced or what, i cannot seem to find any real info. any idea when tickets go on sale?
Probably sometime this week. It will be promoted in Nashville. The roll call email said mentioned the date, but said there wouldn't be presell tickets because it is the university's show nor could they offer the soundcheck bundle.
Information is now up!

Mine too.
It doesn't say anything about an opening act. Dare I dream that they will start playing at 8? Please, please, please give us a long show!
Everyone keep in mind this venue is not setup well at all for a concert. I've always avoided going to concerts here and have heard nothing but bad things about the setup.
Floor is the best bet if you can get close. If you do general admission I have no idea what seats are best because you have to remember the lower level on the sides is sunken. however, close up on the sides in the seats would be better than the mid/back of the floor
what is everyone going to do?
I'm going GA its the only way for me I'm nota fan of seats

I've only been to basketball games there. The seats ARE sunken on the sides of the court. I can't imagine how they set up for a concert there. Plus, it is a basketball gym, what kind of acoustics can the possibly have? On the other hand, it might be great for reverb.

I've got to wait until I get home. Our stupid filter at work blocks ticketmaster. Hopefully, with general admission, it really doesn't matter. Last year with Lil Wayne, you could still buy tickets at the door.
Or just call (615) 343-3361
[quote author=johnnYYac link=topic=15530.I forgot about that. I've been a little distracted today. I had to break up a big fight at school and ended up on the floor wrapped around the brawler; if he had turned in the other direction, it would have looked like we were about to have sex. :embarassed: I ended up not getting floor tickets, but that's ok too. With this crowd, I may be happier a little away from the stage.
Guys I got GA, but my buddy got shut out. If anyone sees any become availabl I'm looking!
I got GA floor as well but my buddies waited too late. Sucks the floor is already sold out. Wish they would have just set it up like they did for rites of spring with it being outside and byob. Oh well, just pumped to see them for the third time this year. Hope to get to the rail but unlikely since earliest I can get up there is around 7. Should be fun either way.
i too am looking for two floor seats. if anyone hears of anything please let me know.
I was able to snag a floor seat. That's crazy that they sold out so quickly.
I'm bummed that a lot of you guys didn't get GA, but I bet some floor tickets will pop up again before the 20th.
Also, maybe this is a good sign that some people actually care about this show since it sold out so fast....I just wonder how many they set aside for the general public and how many are still available for students.

hoping for a couple of oldies, suspicious of them adding the show because vandy paid out the yingyang for it, but that shouldnt matter.. theyll probably be looking forward to a nashville date anyway.

There's just something about the atmosphere at the Ryman that really works, isn't there? I always prefer attending shows there too. The crowd is usually better, the acoustics, and the history of that place just always make for a more pleasant show.

The Ryman is considered sacred ground, by some. Playing Vanderbilt is the equivilant of playing a large frat party.

Never seen a bad show at the Ryman. Never seen a good one at Vanderbilt either. Coincidence? I think not.
The Ryman is considered sacred ground, by some. Playing Vanderbilt is the equivilant of playing a large frat party.
It is, Tracy. Maybe we should just bring the frat vibe and wear our golf pants and popped collars. Well, the guys can. We can just get reaallly drunk and start crying.
"Never seen a bad show at the Ryman. Never seen a good one at Vanderbilt either. Coincidence? I think not."
Couldn't have said it better myself. Between no Roll Call and the disparity between trust fund kids paying $15 while the rest pay $40+ I'm kind of sick over this one. All of that will disappear once I'm in front of that giant green eye with Victory Dance blasting into my skull though I suppose.

TRUTH. I say we all dress weird, pack the rail, and forget about everything happening behind us.
An asswards Greek Phalanx might be a good model upon which to base a plan.

there are some GA fix available on stub hub for 55$ + shipping... not too bad if anyone is looking
Vanderbilt has just announced that Trey Songz is the opening act for the show. Vanderbilt must have picked him out. I hope he only sings three songz. :-X
What the he'll is Trey Songs? It looks like this show is the ultimate test of will power to see a jacket show

WHAT the F***?!?!?!? I had to look this up to make sure it was real. And it is. Wow. What a strange combination. Anyway, Trey Songz (yes, with a Z) is an R&B singer. I'd liken him to R. Kelly, minus the peeing on women. Here's a link to one of his songs, to get you guys in the know.

Should be an, um, interesting night?
Anybody remember a few years back ('06 or '07) when the Commodore Quake was headliner Modest Mouse with opener Gavin DeGraw? It was a shit show. Nashville got screwed on this round. >:(

I really don't think it will be too awful. His vibe sort of reminds me of Built to Spill.

I feel your pain. For those of us camped at the rail for MMJ at Ottawa Blues Fest, we got to enjoy the fine song stylings of Miguel... :-\

I feel sorry for this Trey Songz. It will be rather difficult to go out there and perform for people who are there to see MMJ. If the Tuscaloosa crowd was rude to Neko Case, imagine how it will be for Mr. Top40-Pop-Rap-Crap? I was discussing this with my senior student aides. They told me it reminded them of when they went to see O.A.R. who they thought was the headliner, but it turned out that Pitbull was. They said it was a very strange show.
Forgive me, but if its all bros and hos, perhaps MMJ will seem out of place. :-\

Maybe, but right now they are one of the really popular college bands. But I know what you are saying. That's the double-edged sword of a band's success isn't it.

I'm a bit out of touch, at 44- a "former" Deadhead- and my high school students have no clue who MMJ is, but know Trey Songz. Also, no offense re: my reference to the attendees. I was merely referring to what others suggest will be a lousy crowd for a Jacket show.

Oh, I'm 43, so I'm probably out of touch too. ;D But I do that while the crowd will suck, the college kids think that they are pretty cool. Most of my high school students don't know who they are either except for the ones who went to bonnaroo this year. Anyway, no offense was taken. I think what I'm thinking of is that most fans who have loved a band for a long time get upset when they get more popular and the crowd changes from diehards who know all the back catalog and the ones who have only discovered the band because of the last album. And it seems like this album has really brought out more of the latter type of fans, particularly at colleges. Don't get me wrong. I love seeing MMJ achieve greater success with the best part being that they didn't have to lower their standards to achieve this success.

You hit the nail on the head. In the late 80's and early 90s, the Grateful Dead scene changed dramatically. MTV videos, bigger venues, and lots of new young fans transformed the culture of Deadheadism, or at least my experience.

This isn't my quote, but I teach middle school math. The students in my class have no idea who MMJ (other than some band on my wall), but I'm sure they could tell me who Trey Songz was. I'm okay with not knowing who that is.

I teach English, everything from AP to basic. Also, I read a book recently about the Dead (I think it was called Growing Up Dead) that describes that experience that you refer to. It's an interesting look at the culture. I gave it to my principal to read (he's a big deadhead and I'm sucking up ::) ).

Nashville is a big city, I seriously doubt that everyone there is in a fraternity or super hip, whatever that means. You should try living in tiny southern college town.
The crowd is gonna suck because it's heavily advertised at a Southern school, not because it's Nashville. I've been to many many shows in Nashville and have never thought "wow the people in this town suck"
I'd love to come to this and tape, but the problem is i didnt get online fast enough to get a GA Floor Ticket, so if anyone has a extra willing to sell.. I'm in need :thumbsup:

I never have either. It's because it's at Vanderbilt. But I'm going with the attitude that I'm seeing MMJ. Hopefully, it won't be like the last college show I attended at Tuscaloosa. But the Trey Songz thing is going to make it weird too.
I agree, it's an MMJ show so it's not gonna suck either way.
Tuscaloosas crown wasn't anything compared to Lexingtons spring concert last year. Worst. Crowd. Ever

so, you're saying that music is pretty far down on you list of requirements for a good concert, right? as long as there's a beat, along with some bright lights and loud noises and lasers and confetti and stuff, it's all good. you're obviously a bright young man, but you suffer from the same malady as many in your age group: you've confused hip-hop/techno with actual music. they have nothing to do with each other.
my morning jacket is 5 world-class musicians live, playing instuments and singing.......a rock concert.
that video is nothing more than an oversized rave at the club. programmed synths and drum machines.
do yourself a favor. expand your horizons. try to develop an appreciation for musicianship and songwriting. go to the show, watch the band (don't spend the entire show chatting with your buds). if you still think they were a bad choice afterward, you can always find the nearest carnival midway or maybe the ringling bros circus to get your fix of bright lights and loud noises.

a DJ? what a bizarre world we live in......
"Give me lasers and neon and glowing awesomeness. "
so, you're saying that music is pretty far down on you list of requirements for a good concert, right? as long as there's a beat, along with some bright lights and loud noises and lasers and confetti and stuff, it's all good. you're obviously a bright young man, but you suffer from the same malady as many in your age group: you've confused hip-hop/techno with actual music. they have nothing to do with each other.
my morning jacket is 5 world-class musicians live, playing instuments and singing.......a rock concert.
that video is nothing more than an oversized rave at the club. programmed synths and drum machines.
do yourself a favor. expand your horizons. try to develop an appreciation for musicianship and songwriting. go to the show, watch the band (don't spend the entire show chatting with your buds). if you still think they were a bad choice afterward, you can always find the nearest carnival midway or maybe the ringling bros circus to get your fix of bright lights and loud noises.
Nice.
Would've only added a joke about their football team for good measure.
Something tells me James ain't a big football fan...

Shit, I forgot to set the video to the highest quality that my computer could handle. That's probably the reason that video sucked.

Lol, and the fact that the video/song isn't that great and i remember going over to watch the end of tiesto's set after that sick 3 1/2 to 4 hour set that MMJ had at 'Roo '08!! The highlight of the end of tiesto's set was seeing these guys dressed up as the Ghost Busters and the people searching and looking on the ground after the show for anything they could find on the floor/ground. Remember one lucky person finding something(hmm wonder what it was?) MMJ is a totally different genre of music and a better one in my opinion.
Aside from all of the negativity surrounding the circumstances of this show, I'm pretty pumped to see a show in Carl's current home-base and the potential of hearing Carried Away for the first time.
Any chance of the Nashville horns showing up a'la Bonnaroo??

You know, I am too. I'm happy that I don't have to stay in a hotel or camp out in a refugee camp (bonnaroo) to get to see my favorite band Hell, I'll even endure Trey Songz for them. I do, however, wonder if the entire Songz family will show up to see their baby perform. Perhaps just Mrs. Songz.

They played Carried Away last year in Nashville. I am also hoping to see this tune again, it's been awhile.

I never understood this antiquated, patronizing perspective on certain spheres of modern music. Let's just get this out of the way. Hip hop IS music. Electronic (whatever you want to call it) IS music. It's just not what you want it to be. Music is whatever the listener gleans from their auditory experience and deems it as such.
I'm no music historian but I do know the earliest forms of music were rooted in basic rhythms, easy to create from your surroundings. It got people to dance, really dance. I too like to dance. This was before the invention of the guitar, something that apparently is a necessity now for music to be considered real music.
Now it wasn't too long ago that rock n' roll wasn't music. Next up it was heavy metal that wasn't music, etc.
Funny thing is that you are completely dismissive of the musical and rhythmic ability required to produce a hip hop track or to rap over it. Perhaps this is delving into music technology relativism but why do you draw the line where you do? Guitars used to just be a hollow bodied acoustic. Now you have every manner of effects boards that can create an infinite amount of sounds. Forget about the limitless sounds of a modern keyboard (sound computer). You don't mind that Lay Low is a preprogrammed drum beat, vocals are dubbed in on Wordless and Steam Engine and Highly Suspicious (all their killer live tunes). We won't even get into HOTBM.
When you go see Carl play a solo show, he loops track after track. Is it really exciting to watch him pluck a Gm chord for 8 measures than step on a pedal so that he can start noodling an octave up for another 8 measures only to step on a pedal again? Guess what a modern dj/producer does. He does that beforehand so all we get is a slamming track. Yet I get to hear people fawning over how awesome looping is. Yey, Keller Williams was cool 15 years ago.
There are myriad reasons for why this form of music has taken off. One factor is socioeconomic. Many American bands are products of suburbia. Why? Let's see, more space, more money. Kids in the city sharing an apartment with 6 family members aren't going to have people over to jam with instruments they can't afford. But hey, you don't need a penny to rhyme over a dude beatboxing.
I'd go on and on. You don' have to like but don't denigrate what you don't like and choose not to understand. Some of the best shows I've ever been to have been hip hop shows.
Just as a compromise, check out some old school Roots or K-0s. They got more musicianship than 99% of the singer/songwriters or rock bands out there.

I agree completely with the hip hop point of views here, Ruckus, however I disagree with half of this when it comes to electronic music. Electronic music, like Bassnectar IS music. It's original and has rythem and melody and blah blah blah. However, I don't think bassnectar live is a concert. It's literally no different than going to a dance club that has a DJ for the night. Not a concert, but a dance party.

I dig DJ's. I dig good times. I don't go into a DJ set thinking ohh man he's gonna shred! SPeaking of which, DJ Shadow just released his 1st album in 5 years today. Gotta check that out. Yes his debut was nothing but samples and still one of my favorite albums of all time. It takes a brilliant musical mind to glue together all those sounds into the pure glory that was Endtroducing

Here's an article bashing choosing MMJ for Vanderbilt. The guy wants to have Tiesto instead. Douche.
http://www.insidevandy.com/drupal/node/17967 (http://www.insidevandy.com/drupal/node/17967)
I think the problem here isn't the music, or dissing Tiesto, its the author thinking he'd rather have glowsticks, fireworks, and waving girls instead of a solid rock show. I can dig the DJ thing, though I would go to a dance club, not a concert venue.
I just hope the MMJ fans are respectful to the Trey Songz fans and vice versa. Maybe we'll get some weird collaboration never thought possible.

Horses for courses.
I love Battles. I love Andrew Bird. Love Animal Collective. What they do is sequenced and processed.
The guy doesn't like rock, and fair play to him. I've done my fair share of rock / hip hop/ electronica / raves over the years, and they're all good if you're in the mood.

i'm sure they were great
shows......but they weren't
concerts.
this old fart has a very strict, narrow definition of the word "music." and i'll continue to say, until the day i die, that if it doesn't involve humans playing instuments and/or humans singing original melodies, it's ain't music.
and as for MMJ's use of taped backing tracks, i understand that jim feels some songs call for it, but i don't like it one bit. if you feel you can't play the song well enough without pre-recorded help, don't try to play the song. as always, there are exceptions to the rule (the who's baba o'riley and WGFA come to mind), but for the most part i abhor the use of recorded sounds in a live setting.

I saw Andrew Bird a few years back. I wasn't aware that his music was looped and prerecorded. At the beginning of the set he couldn't get the prerecorded stuff to sync with what he was doing. I was pissed that all the stuff I had liked wasn't gonna be played. Quit liking his music that night and still don't.
it will be a good performance for everyone even that tiesto dude will get sucked in at some point. its nashville alot of people in the music industry will be in attendance, it will many people's first experience, and i know at least 20 or so show goers excited for the performance in GA. pumped :D

no apologies needed, I actually like the feedback from a venue I've never visited. OTOH one of the things I enjoy about MMJ is visiting the "roll call" thread on a daily basis leading up to the show I will be attending.
I'm not by anyway trying to kill this thread, it's actually been quite entertaining. I just don't want this to be the only one I read until Nashville. 2 more weeks, woohoo

anyway, the main reason my buddies and i aren't going to nash vegas for this show is the lame-ass crowd and lousy sound at UK earlier this year. i hope those who go will find it to be a better crowd and venue than what we experienced in lexington.

Le sigh. I should also take this opportunity to say, if anyone has a GA Floor ticket for this show for face value, please do hit me up. I only want to see this show if I can get on the rail. I thank you.

oh my lord, why do those Vandy kids suck so bad? They are probably the worst people in Nashville. The floor will still kick ass because only people who like the band (aka everyone else) will be there. Im now blowing my joint smoke in the nearest "i have to pass a drug test for my vandy internship"'s face.
Did you read the "article" accompanying the ad? :-\
The Nashville Scene is not my favorite web site to go to for anything resembling journalism even though the print edition is more professional. I think the guy is trying to castigate the idiots at Vandy for promoting the concert this way. We'll just have to show them what real fans really act like. I've talked to quite a few people who are going that have nothing to do with Vanderbilt. I don't really think the crowd will suck as much as they are trying to make it. I just hope that they sell beer inside. I may need it to get through all the Songz.
So, first time here to the Forums and a Nashville native... Looking forward to the show and hope it's a great one. Kind of ironic I first learned about MMJ from Vandy's college station. The song on the radio was Bermuda Highway and I was hooked for the first chord, that was about 7 years ago maybe?? I noticed they don't play that song much in concert from the setlist's I've seen... I am hoping for Wonderful, love that song.. I have seen a few decent concerts at Vandy, I'm an old DMB follower and saw them in the late 90's there and Smashing Pumpkins in there hay day... Anyways couldn't get floor seats so I'll be in section G1 seat 592 if anyone is sitting close and wants to say hello :thumbsup:

Won't be sitting near ya buddy, but it's great to see you on the forum. Make sure to come back even after the show and check in. Became a forum member a month or two ago, and I check it daily. Judging from the few other band forums I've been on, this one definitely is the best community. Enjoy the show.
Will do, I use to be on the DMB forums all of the time back in the day, but can't get into the new DMB stuff... I'd say for the last year MMJ has been tops on my list but have been a fan for the last several years.

That's awesome. Been into the band since late 2008, but I didn't see a show until this year. Since then, they've probably jumped into the lead slot in my favorite bands. Just out of curiosity, is the "JaytheRevelator" name a White Stripes reference?

Yes it is. While I do get that the author of the other article was trying to insult Vanderbilt, he wasn't too nice to MMJ. This article could benefit from mentioning tonight's show. I have to say that I'm really disappointed in the way the Vandy bunch is treating the Jacket with much respect.

neo-Southern psychedelia
"Monsters of neo-Southern psychedelia" ... MOF should totally change names.
in other news, I'm not so sure how circuital could be considered 70s psych rock, but it's good to see some good being said! I never thought of it until now, but in the spirit of tonight's show it's also interesting that Circuital was mixed in Nashville.

Why is the Muppet story always told wrong? The Green Album is NOT the movie soundtrack and the Muppet project MMJ were initially involved in had nothing to do with "Our World." It was "Friends Again" and "Outta My System" w/alternate lyrics, perhaps some other tracks. Sorry, just hate when journalists assume.
For the positive, focused Nashville thread, go here (http://www.mymorningjacket.com/forum/index.php?topic=15635.msg282748#new). ;)
Totally unrelated but I just got the coolest Dr. Teeth doll off Ebay!
He WAS the best of the Electric Mayhem Band..

Well it actually works well, because I'm a huge Jack White fan, but JaytheRevelator was my old name on the DMB boards, they did a song with the same name.
FML... Trey Songz
