already have on the main page, top tier acts breakout is this:
Weekend 1:
Fri – Steely Dan, Mule, Michael Mcdonald
Sat – Pearl Jam, Van Morrison, Boz Scaggs, Maxwell, Galatic, Alpha Blondie
Sun – RHCP, Nick Jonas, J.Cole, Herbie Hancock, Johnny Lang
Weekend 2:
Thur – TTB and Friends, Elvis Costello, Gary Clark Jr, Flo Rida
Fri – Paul Simon, MMJ, Lauren Hill
Sat – Stevie Wonder, Snoop, Buddy Guy, Beck, Dr John
Sun – Neil Young, Trombone Shorty, Bonnie Raitt, Mavis Staples, Isley Bros, Aaron Neville, Dumphstaphunk, BB King Tribute, Allen Toussaint tribute.
It is a helluva lineup and easily in my opinion the best of any festival going this year.
Having said that Jazz fest kills me because the actual music on the fair grounds ends at 7 PM... and it also always has the worst conflicts of any other festival. All headliners always go on during the same time slots.
Having to choose between Mule or Steely Dan the first Friday would be torture for me.
Similar to Paul Simon or MMJ.
The real question is how the late night club grids pan out, that to me is the real reason to go to Jazzfest.. if they are weak i'll likely go with my gut and see MMJ at Red Rocks over going to a fest this year.
Great lineup, unfortunately going to first weekend only for buddy's bach party. :angry:
(Still going to be a blast tho)
Wait, so what time do headliners usually start at Jazz fest? Sounds like it's early
Very early. MMJ would probably start around 5PM and be done by 7. Headlining legacy acts might start a little earlier for a longer set, pop acts a bit later.
MMJ and Paul Simon on at the same time is brutal.

Sure is, last time I went to JF MMJ and Simon and Garfunkle conflicted, I left MMJ halfway through.. what a mistake that was.
Having said that and having seeing him before, Paul Simon solo is much more appealing than Simon and Garfunkel.
My wife and I just booked our trip for the 2nd weekend of Jazzfest! This will be our first time going. Super psyched for the lineup - bummed that I am probably going to miss MMJ to see Pual Simon, but that's just the way it is. Very stoke to see Neil Young with Promise of the Real on Sunday, as we missed them here in Los Angeles. We are planning to go the Jazzfest Friday/Sunday and spend the rest of the week busking around the French Quarter and Frenchmen St and hopefully picking up at least one gig through some contacts we have. This is gonna be a great week!
It's killing me that I have to leave town the DAY BEFORE the Jacket takes the stage at the Fairgrounds, but what can ya do?!
I've got a couple extra JazzFest tickets for the first weekend, so if any of y'all are in New Orleans and want entrance to the Fairgrounds on me, let me know! You can e-mail me at carsoni4 at hotmail dot com. I am leaving from Toronto tomorrow morning and can meet you any day outside the gates! Can't wait to get groovin'!
I can only pray this set is as Prince heavy as last nights.
one of the best lineups at jazzfest in a long time.
730 central time on axs tv live stream
30 minutes and it's taped not a live stream
Anyone have AxsTV and a DVR and the ability to upload here?? I will pay you thousands in sweet, sweet karma.
Would love to watch this set at some point this weekend!
MMJ at 8:45 est
Looks like they teamed up w/pres hall for purple rain. Hope that one makes it on TV
Kids in bed. Just made a Moscow Mule. Let's rock from the couch.
Two songs !?? Boo.
I concur... anyone who can upload it somehow will be my hero.
Anybody got a setlist...?
Please & Thank You.

I thought for sure they'd play the Prince song on the show. Oh well, two songs are better than none.

Of course, these Prince covers are awesome. One issue w/Purple Rain... seems Jim is late delivering the end of the first verse, then early delivering the second line of the second verse. He's done this during each of the three times they've covered Purple Rain (OkC, Houston, NOLA). Kinda drives me nuts.

YAC idk about you but im a little dissapointed in these setlists....From what I've heard, theyve SOUNDED amazing, but its the same songs every single show I feel like. I dont get it!

I agree. Mmj never disappoints in their delivery but the setlist was "eh" to me. Granted, they only have 90 minutes but I'm all for opening it up a bit. It seems like they're trying to appeal to the masses. Any fan of great music would love to hear Steam, twths, lay low, war begun, Xmas curtain, Bermuda highway, master plan, at dawn, hell, phone...on that note, off the record, and believe were excellent. And the purple rain cover was easily the song of the weekend for me

It seems, with each new tour, comes that question about setlist depth and diversity. I recall being quite disappointed that there was very little difference in the first three shows of their Spring 2010 tour. I attended all three- Birmingham>Nashville>Atlanta. At that point, these were my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th MMJ shows. At the end of Atlanta, I was frustrated as I'd yet to hear Steam Engine and many, many other tunes.
The key to depth and diversity is the multi-night run. I know those opportunities are not available to many, but in large markets like Boston, New York, Chicago, LA, and San Fransisco there have been a number of 2- to 5-show runs, with no repeats. Festival sets will always get short-changed due to length of set and the fact that the crowd is not there just to see MMJ. So, Jazzfest, Shaky Knees, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, ACL, and other fests will always be a bit underwhelming to MMJ fans in attendance.
As for the sets in Oklahoma City and Houston, they chose to dedicate 2-3 slots to Prince and seem to be holding close to a 2-hour show, which prevents some older, deeper tunes from making the cut. I'd strongly recommend folks participate in Spontaneous Curation, as it does influence setlists. We're all going to have to expect Victory Dance, Circuital, Spring, Believe, One Big Holiday, and Off the Record at damn-near every show.

Great analysis.
I know fests are always going to be more "standard", but I also have a feeling shaky knees might (hopefully) be a little different, after all the Fest is named after Steam Engine.
As for everything else, I just feel like they will never get to where they want to get (popularity wise) if they do these same songs everywhere. Take for instance, Widespread Panic (Granted, more "jammy" and many more songs). It takes them 4 shows before they play the same song again! It creates that feel of "chasing" a song for their fanbase, and adds to the excitement. May just be me, but I feel Jacket should follow a format more similar to this.
Who knows! Just glad theyre back on tour!
