It's mid August and all the shows are out of my area. Just saw MMJ in Nashville. Is Roll Call just until the end of the year or is it a year from when you buy it?
Do we know what's on the 7"? Is it the same that's in the deluxe Waterfall vinyl?
TIA
I just bought it so it better be worth it! The receipt says its good until next August, so I'm hoping for another tour with more stops close to Louisville in 2016 (still holding out hope for NYE too!)
I feel it's always worth buying. Never know when a contest will pop up or something special. I was sure happy to have it when I won the Louisville Waterfall rehearsal shows. Plus it helps support the band and show them the love.

guy on the FB MM Fan page said Tom told him that they've been approached for NYE but most likely no show. Hopefully he's just being coy.
Whenever you purchase a Roll Call membership, the year is added to the endpoint of your previous RC membership, if you had one. The 7" at year's end will not be the bonus tracks from The Waterfall; I don't know what they will be, but I know it will be somewhat unique. I'm a poster guy, and getting the poster and t-shirt, plus 7" and early-entry laminate makes Roll Call ALWAYS worth it to me. With another album likely out by mid-2016 and more touring likely, you can't go wrong. Ticket presales might be the only real disappointment I've had with RC. The one soundcheck party I attended (I know quite a few were cancelled) was only available to RC members and definitely worth it! My 2 cents.
I feel like it's only worth it for peeps who have shows close by and secondly only for Americans ha
Well dang, now it's out of stock :cry:
Checked back and it was in stock! Grabbed it real quick [emoji3]
I used to be a Roll Call member...and i feel like I need to get it again, but they're not even doing Roll Call at the Saltair show in October. Does that mean that there's probably barely any Roll Call Members in Utah??? If so, I'll re-purchase it again, loved getting my 7 inch a few years back with Grab A Body.
Purchased on the 15th. Still shows that the package is processing. From other members' experiences, has it usually taken >2 weeks to get the roll call pack in? For +$60, it's taking long to ship.

What do you mean they aren't doing Roll Call at the Saltair? Do you mean a sound check, early entry or something else? If you mean early entry, details for that are usually posted 48-72 hours in advance. Definitely not this far ahead of the show.
As far as an actual show Roll Call, that's just something done here on the board by fans for each show. Someone starts a RC thread for the show, and whoever is going adds their name to the list. Nothing to do with the actual Roll Call Deluxe or Digital membership.
Sound checks are a different deal. I guess one could still be added but no telling if it will be or not. You would need to be a RC member to purchase that if they made it available.
Or are you talking about something else completely different?
how often is rollcall available to purchase, its sold out right now?

I don't understand why/how buying a membership to a fan club is sold out. Maybe a shirt or a hat can sell out. But unless MMJ has enough fans, then buying fan club membership should always be available.

well the digital only is still for sale but not the one with the 7"
Roll Call is "sold out" when they sell out of the items included: tshirt, poster, etc. I don't get it, either, but I guess they underestimated Roll Call's popularity.
By the way, the "digital" version, while cheaper and "in stock" is not a very good deal, in terms of presale ticket access, in my opinion. When available, the full $40 Roll Call membership is well worth it, again in my opinion.

agreed though digital at $15 I figured the digital download credit alone might pay for $12

Cool that digital is always available. That makes sense. It's worth it to get the download and access to the soundchecks if they do them again. And also to enter various raffles that they have (e.g., those special shows when the album just came out). I agree with YYac as it's not too much extra to get the earlier ticket buying time and the shirt, poster, etc. But who knows when that will be available again.
@johnnYYac I finally received my download code for a free live show download. What show do you recommend? I see that the site with the shows doesn't have many 2015 dates available.
so I'm fairly new to this forum and don't quite understand the whole roll call thing. Could one of you more experienced folk explain the pros and cons of Roll Call? Been an avid listener for years, glad i finally found where all those other fans are.

Hi, Roll Call is the fan club. When you join, you typically get a shirt and poster. Last year they also added some limited 7'' records. You also get presale ticket access. Roll Callers also get early entry to shows at some events, there are contests for Roll Callers only. Some folks from this forum won tickets to attend a listening party with some guys from the band, the Louisville Waterfall shows were for Roll Callers I believe. Lots of pros, not a lot of cons really. You might want to wait for 2016 Roll Call to be announced to join so you get as much of the goodies as possible.
and welcome!!

Generally speaking I think most would consider roll call to be somewhat poorly run historically, but there are definitely benefits. You generally get first crack at tickets, although the seat availability lately has been suspect. For some shows you get the option of early entry, and also to see the soundcheck (for an extra charge). They do periodically have contests, I was lucky to win two this year (private show performance of the Waterfall at Mack Senett studio in LA and the Waterfall listening party with Bo and Jim, also in LA), winning those was entirely worth the cost of joining right there!
You get a shirt, poster and a laminate (used to gain early entry access).

Sorry, touchingmept2. Just saw this. I think it is safe to say that there will be a healthy slate of releases coming "soon", if you're looking for shows from this year. That said, I have all of the shows offered through LiveDownloads. If I had to choose just one, it would probably be 6/17/08 Montreal or 11/14/11 Amsterdam.
I joined Roll Call about 4 1/2 years ago and have always thought it's been well worth it each year. Didn't know it was sold out, though. What does that mean? Can't I be "Grandfathered" in? I'll have to check the forum more often.....
Pros - I've met some really righteous people thru here. Johnny Y being one of the best. A true fan/gentlemen and a musical MMJ father figure! My dearest pal Kelly who taught me to dance at the shows or ride the rail, and always put all my energy into the show. I won 2 contests, one to see Jim at Grimey's and one to see the entire Waterfall record in Kentucky (which I could not make).
I have had early entry and access to some of their sound checks, the best being at Forecastle when the storm prevented them from taking the stage. Instead, they strolled out - Jim in flip flops and sang/played to us!
The posters are unique to the roll call members and being that I'm a bit of a hippy, I love the laminates - they're cool. Additionally OBH 2 was my fantasy come true!!
Cons - Not sure, but occasionally, feel a little goofy about writing on here as I tend to ramble on.........I absolutely love this band and hope to be writing on here for years to come!
Cons: friends/family hearing that at 40+ you're a member of band fan club.
so basically no cons and its all worth it to become a Roll Call Member in 2016. @walterfredo don't feel bad my "old" parents love mmj and rock out to them with me.

Who cares how old you are... I'm 24 and have met some great friends at shows this tour who are old enough to be my parents but rock out harder than most people my age!

same here kholl - that's another reason why I love this band. I've met young and old friends and we all have this wonderful bond in common - My Morning Jacket!
I think you missed my point, I really don't care about age at all. Mine, or anyone else. But it's still funny to explain to someone exactly how/why I was able to go to a private show with the band, or a listening party of the new album with band members and a few other people. And it's usually my wife who is quick to blurt out..."he's in the fan club". Trust me, I'm not embarrassed. But it's still good for a laugh.

It makes sense, I do get it. LOL it's kind of funny when you tell people. I get some funny looks when I talk about roll call and concerts and loving this band so much. I've been made fun, but that's ok. Loud and proud roll call member!

anyone know when the 7'' typically comes in?
just noticed my 18-month roll call membership ends december 19th.
anyone know if there will be a chance to renew for 2016? just like i'd hate to go thru life without medical insurance, i'd hate to be without fan club coverage.

Once the roofies take effect.
Real answer: End of the year or whenever they feel like sending it out. More the latter than the former.

Generally, you can renew anytime, and the year gets tacked on to the end date of your current membership. The only thing that would affect this is the availability of the associated swag.
EDIT looks like it is currently "out of stock".

Yeah I'm pretty bummed, my roll call membership expired in June, I didn't renew as I had all my tickets for the year and they told me I would be able to get the 7" since I was an active member... I spoke with Ground Control and they now tell me I will not be receiving the 7"..... Pretty bummed about that as I have all of them. If anyone knows of any extras I would love to buy one.
Yeah, pretty stupid that we have to renew months before it expires to actually get the stuff.
Same for me. I have all the previous posters, shirts, laminates, 45s, even the stamped certificate that came the first year. Because of that weird thing they did last year I'm a member through 2016. In September I tried to sign up so I could get the 45 and laminate for this year, but it's been sold out since at least then. I emailed them but it was the typical response. I got to go to one of the Waterfall warm-up shows because of this fan club and that alone makes it worth it, but I've also been a collector for more than a decade and it sucks not having an opportunity to get the cool shit.
If anyone from the Wonderful Ground Ctrl Union or MMJ Management sees this, I have 1400 Roll Call points I've been saving up that I'll give you for one of those 45s. Or some money. COME ON! :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:
My roll call is up this December 23rd.
Roll call is Sold Out (as mentioned)
Any word on a new roll call?
Roll Call 2016 memberships are up now. Interesting that it doesn't specifically say that a 7" is included this time.
How do you change your credit card information? Why is life so difficult? Help?

It does mention a special item to be announced. I do wonder if that includes the 7 inch. At this point, that 7 inch is one of the main reasons I will re-join roll call.
Yeah if they don't do another 7" next year I'll be pissed.

Well I don't think that affects them posting a shipping date in your orders. There's either a date it'll be shipped in there now or there isn't one yet. At some point they'll be a date for when it's shipping/shipped. You don't need tracking to know when it's being shipped, only to follow it's travels.
Did you look in your orders to see if there's a date? If not, go to your orders, click on view for this order, and then scroll down to "shipping". There should be a box on the bottom left with the contents of that order and a shipped/shipping date. It might just say tbd but that's where you want to look.

yeah i think youre right! as of right now, though, it just says "preordered"
Yeah, I kind of expected something like that because I don't think they're finished with all the things included yet. T shirt design, poster, etc. I could be wrong on that though.
Just keep checking back there, and at some point a date will show up I'm sure.

it was like 16 bucks vs the tracking option, which was 23. so not a huge difference, both options are pretty damn pricey

I agree. I looked at my order for the 2015 Deluxe RC package and the non-tracking shipping option for that order was only $5.90.
I just want an early entry laminate. I'm not a giant poster or T-shirt nut, though last years poster and shirt were cool. First 2 years Roll Call shirts never been worn, posters not worth framing. Early ticket purchase is a JOKE. Just get me into GA early. Gotta get a new laminate for Red Rocks, which means full Roll Call purchase.

No seniority

Pearl Jam neutered the seniority. Now it's just a number.
I personally have had good luck with RC for pre sale tickets and early entry. Definitely worth that alone.

not exactly true. i have no issues with where my seats are these days.
I like Roll Call. I feel like I get plenty in return for my spend, but mostly did it for the early buy on tickets. I've never had the opportunity to use the early entry. I haven't framed my poster (yet) but I wear my shirt. And last year I was chosen to attend one of the Waterfall preview shows at Headliners, so that sealed the deal for me.
I just went on the site and see that roll call deluxe is out of stock. I let my membership expire when would this be back in stock again?
