Alrighty, true believers...
I just signed up for BOTH the Friday and Saturday shows, and I'm wondering who amongst the flock is gonna be there...
Can I see a show of hands? Groovy... 8)
I'm there my man! Back to Back! I'm missing Brian Brohom's last St. X/ Trinity showdown for Friday's show. Some friends are dishing out the guff to me about that since they play two nights. Really now, this is a no brainer. I'll take all the MMJ I can get. Rock on!
Actually I might only go to the Saturday show. I'll probably go to the Trinity-X game (although if X can't beat Holy Cross, that might get ugly), it's the first time I'm in Louisville at the same time as that game and going to a high school football game with 35,000+ fans sounds like a once in a lifetime thing. Just hoping the guy who's getting tix for me to the Saturday show at Headliners' comes through. If he does, I'll still get to see the Jacket twice in three days since I'll be in Chicago on 8/25 for the show there!
I'll be there for both, already got my tickets. I just hope either the weather cools off or they manage to ventilate that place a little better. I just about keeled over at the last show.

Agreed. I think the Sonic Youth show in June was especially stuffy/smoky, and I left at like 11:30 as it was just too much. Crank up dat AC! 8)
if all goes as planned, danilove and i will be there...any preshow plans??
I LOVE UNEMPLOYMENT ;D

Sure! I'm flyin' in from Montreal on Friday (long story, work related) but I'll be ready for some action beforehand...just as long as we all end up there before the show starts! (hardee harr har... ;))
No really-let's do something. That would be AWESOME. Mag Bar? Drinks at John's place? Lemme know.
I would definitely be down for some pre-show rockin' out! Me and some buds are coming up from UK friday afternoon to rock our weekend away.
Just picked up tix for Friday's show. However, I've never been to a show at Headliners, what can I expect? To be honest, this will be the first time I've seen MMJ so I'm floating on air in anticipation!

Howdy!
Required items:
1. Hearing protection.
2. Nap beforehand to save energy.
3. Summertime clothing...it gets roasty in there.
4. Comfy shoes for the 4-5 hour stand you are in store for.
5. Taxi or designated driver! If you drink, that is...
Having seen many, MANY shows at Headliner's, I can tell you it's a great time. Loud, smoky...but awesome at the same time. I can't tell you how many great shows have come and gone over the past few years there. Just terrific!
Thank you so much!! One more question: How early should I get to the club? I'm driving down from Indiana with my cousin. Thanks again!
Ahhhh, the magic question...
It depends on you. If you come early, you'll most likely find a good place to stand/sit...but you'll wait for a while as shows start generally at 9-10 but can start late, meaning if you come early at 9, you might be waiting for an hour or so for the opening band.
If you come "late", as in after 10ish, I'd say the crowd will be there and you might have a time finding a good spot to stand or sit...really up to you, but I recommend early...for this show, the doors open at 8 and I'll be there at 8ish just to be sure.
I'm sure y'all know this, but I'm here to dispel any misprints that were in this week's LEO...
The shows are still on for Sept 26-27 as far as Headliner's goes, as Ticket Web still has those dates listed, and my tix haven't been voided yet, so I doubt the shows are being displaced by Grandaddy.
Just an FYI...
According to Headliner's own website, Grandaddy is on Tuesday 9/30.
Got the tix for Friday and Saturday, and sign me up for Grandaddy, too. Damn, this love of music is getting expensive.
These nights sold out yet?
http://www.ticketweb.com/user/?region=ky&query=detail&event=454365
I'd say no as they still let you buy the tickets...
yayy!!!! i'm coming home from school to go to the saturday show!!!! :):)
apparently as of today, ear x-tacy only had 40 or tickets left. so. it's going to be amazing with so many people in the building....all those bodies to bounce acoustics off of....ahhh how lovely!
so hooray for saturday!
My buddy Willow will be there both nights.
I.. :'( will not be there.. i have a wedding to cater.
Woe oh WOE WOE WOE is me.
Looks like the Saturday show is sold out (cannot buy tickets from Headliners web site).
I have a pair for the Friday night show that I don't think I'll use. If it happens to sell out, call me and I'll sell 'em to you (face).
502-459-9808 (home)
502-580-1241 (work)
Just ran over to Ear X-tacy, they still have a handful of tickets left for Saturday. Cash only, no fees. [fyi-I needed one and asked for them to hold it, but they refused (policy).]
If anyone still needs tickets for the Louisville shows, it looks like I might have 1 extra ticket for Friday night and 2 extra tickets for Saturday night. Send me an email at duthie@iglou.com and we can work out the details. I paid $12 each, and that's all I'm looking to get in return.
Less than 12 hours 'til showtime!

Jackson, John, Danilove, Jezebel....and to all of the Louisville die hards that I didn't get to meet at the Dylan show...I wish I were coming down for these shows in the worst way. I just couldn't make it happen..but I'll be waiting to hear how it was. Y'all have fun tonight
Otter,
I can barely wait. It should be one hell of a weekend; too bad you couldn't make it down. I'll be driving my tractor and wearing my overalls to the shows in your honor. :o
Doors open in five hours!
I made it back from Montreal...and just woke up from a good nap. Damn, travelling at 3 a.m. makes one weary!
I'm gonna be there with bells on, right before 8. See y'all there!
Okay, here's the skinny on last night's kick ass show.
First and foremost, the boys were havin' a fucking great time playing. They seemed to enjoy every note, giving 140% (as Conan would say)...the crowd surfing bear was an added treat! Scissor kicks, flaying guitars...holy shite!
The sound was just incredible. Song after song was just freakin' awesome. "Run Thru" live was like I imagined it, only better. "Steam Engine" just gave me chills.
Tonight is somehow gonna top last night? Man, I'd like to see that!
MMJ fucking rocks. Period. 8)
John.. what's up? Last night in Lousiville was my 3rd time seeing MMJ, and they absolutely surprised and amazed me. I don't know if it was playing to the hometown crowd or what, but they blew me away. I don't see how Friday could have topped Sat. night. It was totally worth the 6hr round-trip from Murfreesboro. The sound in Headliners was perfect compared to Tasty World (Athens,GA) and Exit/In (Nashville) where I'd seen them before. And, er, the Headliner's beer girls were also I sight to see. I need to make the trip to Louisville more often.
Does anyone have a setlist of last night's show?
side note: That was really sad about the MMJ fans who were killed in the car crash after Friday night's show. It was really good of Jim to dedicate last night's show to them.
Hey Stu;
You must be Discostu from CMJ! Or at least that's my semi-educated speculation...Tenn., driving 6 hours...
Yeah, really fucking sad about those two folks. I was shocked to hear that news, and moved by Jim's words.
The hometown shows were definitely off the chain. The guys were a bit nervous, playing before the hometown sold out, two nights crowd...but they deliver the goods like Santa crossbred with the Postman and UPS...on time, every time!
Glad you made it here, sorry we didn't hook up...the crowd was huge! Until next time...I'll see ya round the CMJ board!
John
P.S. The beer girls are a new "attraction" at Headliner's...or is it just me? :o
Hey everyone, this is my first post here : )
Wow, my ears are still ringing from last night's show. This was my first time in Louisville and my first time to see MMJ. I spent nine hours in a car (eighteen round-trip) and skipped an Auburn home football game to get there but the second MMJ took the stage I knew I had made a great decision. That was by far one of the best concerts I've ever seen. I don't think I've ever seen a band play with that much energy. They didn't let up for over two hours.
I was really impressed with the city of Louisville. The people in the Bardstown Rd area (I think it's the Highlands?) were cool and the MMJ crowd was very friendly. The band seems like they're great guys too. It was touching how Jim dedicated the show to the kids that died Friday. I'm glad I was close enough to shake his hand at the end.
I was thinking about going to the Athens GA show before yesterday but as I walked out of Headliners last night it wasn't even a question. I can't wait to see them again.
Anyone have a selist?
Last night's show kicked ass! My ears are still ringing!! I took a ton of pictures. I was front row center for the entire show, so I got some excellent shots. Nearly got kicked in the head and smacked by Jim's guitar I was so close.. heheh. Here's a link to the pictures, let me know what you think:

For those looking for a copy of the setlist from Saturday, I've got a picture of it on my site.
Also, does anyone know how to go about submitting pictures to be posted on the gallery here?
I must have been really close to you. I was very close to the front in the middle, right behind the tall guy. My friend (short, dark-haired girl) was probably right next to you taking pictures. She's supposed to email me when she gets them uploaded.

Hello Everyone.
I put some pictures up from Saturday.
http://bellsouthpwp.net/c/d/cdale/
Enjoy!
WillCo - I was indeed standing right next to your friend (the short dark haired girl in the 'BAMA' sweatshirt). How did her pictures turn out?
Those pictures by George Thompson on the site are awesome. Anyone know what kind of camera he was using? I saw someone standing off to the left side of the stage taking pictures with what looked like a pretty sweet camera. I'm assuming it was him.
I also noticed a few people videotaping the show with some pretty nice camcorders. One was set up in the sound booth area and I spotted a handheld one in the area roped off next to the stage. I also noticed that the soundboard guy recorded the show into his Mac laptop. Are there plans of a DVD or something coming out? If not, we've got to find out how we can get a hold of copies for the FTP. I would kill for a copy of the show on video.. killlll I say.... LOL j/k, but seriously, I really would love a copy of that show.

As far as Saturday's set - Honest Man is listed, but wasn't played. And Rollin' Back was conspicuously absent both nights. Man I love thaat song. But I guess they can't play them all. :-/
Cool pics cdale. I can see myself!
Only saw the Saturday show, a perfect ending to a day including hours of tailgaiting at PJCS and a UofL victory. I was very impressed with Headliners as a venue, excellent sound without being too loud. And MMJ is definitely a great live band.
