My Morning Jacket

Who's all going to this amazing event?  

QuoteWho's all going to this amazing event?  

me!   [smiley=guitar.gif]

I'm getting ready to buy a ticket. ;D ;D ;D ;D

You're going from Ohio?!  Holy cow!!  (I don't actually know how far that is.  Toronto to Louisville is about 12 hours or so if I remember correctly.)  Are you flying?

Megan, Check Your PM's and good luck tomorrow night.  I hope someone is recording your set.  

i'll be there

oh and did anyone get their tickets from the music today presale?  if so, have you gotten your tickets yet?  if not, when do they usually come?

QuoteYou're going from Ohio?!  Holy cow!!  (I don't actually know how far that is.  Toronto to Louisville is about 12 hours or so if I remember correctly.)  Are you flying?

im only 3 or 3 1/2 hours drive time from louisville.  ive never flown before, except as a passenger in a helicopter!  

Quoteoh and did anyone get their tickets from the music today presale?  if so, have you gotten your tickets yet?  if not, when do they usually come?

i got mine from the presale, and no ive not gotten them.  i think they have to send them at least a week before the show. they usually come a bit earlier than that though.  id say expect them about the 2nd week of november??

QuoteMegan, Check Your PM's and good luck tomorrow night.  I hope someone is recording your set.  

Thanks, Brian. :)  I pm'd you back.   :-*

I'm making the trek all the way from the Highlands. It's at least 5 miles or so to the Palace from my house. I better give myself plenty of time to get there  ;D

My claim to fame: the lead singer and the keyboardist from VHS or BETA both live in my old house which is owned by a friend of mine. Maybe I'll give them a ride to the show.

To you Louisville folks, this means absolutely nothing because in addition to the MMJ guys, you can see the VHS or Beta guys all over town all the time too. But for you out of towners that don't get to bump into Jim at the record store on a regular basis, you can be impressed now.

Yeah, I will be making the trek all the way from Hikes Point, KY--which should take about 10 minutes to reach the Palace.

Hey, this is going to be a monumental show.  We've all seen VHS and the Jacket for years now...often playing on the same bill several years back.  But now at the Palace--and the last night of the tour.  You got to think they are going to break out a bag of tricks for this gig.

You all should consider getting tickets for this--I think there are still a few left.

 You know my wife and I are in! In my mind I'm already there.It's going to be so cool.

My wife and I will be there.  Anyone interested in a Pre-show meet up?  I have spoken to the manager of the BBC up the block from the Palace who is up for hosting us.  He has said that he personally has various MMJ and VHS or Beta CDs that he would pop in their system to get us all jacked up prior to the show.  

For those of you out-of-towners, BBC is the Bluegrass Brewing Company.  As it stands on Wednesdays they have various drink specials.  



All he asked for is an approximate head count.  If this sounds like something that would be of any interest let me know and I will set it up.  I figure as long as I can give him a number a week or two ahead of time, they should be able to accomodate us. [smiley=bier.gif]

My best friend's uncle owns BBC. He's a good guy and has good beer. And it's good to support the locals...

QuoteMy best friend's uncle owns BBC. He's a good guy and has good beer. And it's good to support the locals...

I totally agree.  Regardless of whether anyone else wants to meet up, my wife and I will be there.  It is the perfect place to get ready for a show at the Palace (within stumbling distance ;) ).

Good idear tdan.  Sounds like a good time--I will definitely try to stop by.  We should have a pretty decent sized crew with us--the more the merrier.  Let us know if you need an official head count.  Thanks.

I will probably hold off until a week or so before the show then either start a new thread or revive this one asking for a count.  I hope you are able to stop by.  Good food, good beer, good music, good times.

Ya got three (at least) mississippi boys a coming to raise some hell!!!

anybody have any suggestions as far as cool bars or hotels/motels/brothels?

never been to louisville before, hear good things, am pumped to finally come!  

i live in nashville and went to the nashville show and it was the best concert i have been to in years and can not wait to go to the louisville show

I'm Stefush, from Seattle, WA and I wanna know what Louisville, KY is like as a town. I'd like to come visit some time (still have to make it to Austin, TX first, tho').  Any local flavor would be appreciated, as in what local beer is good, record stores, etc.

When I went to visit Louisville, I was told by the hotel people and taxi drivers to visit 4th Street Live! I don't recommend that.  We had a lot of fun on Bardstown/Baxter road.  There're lots of fun shops there, and a really wicked guitar store.  Ear X-Tacy is a popular choice for records.  Is there a Louisville beer?  Personally, I'd go with bourbon.  ;)

There are a lot of people from that town here who can give you more specific funspots.

austin rules so hard.  ;)

Oh yeah? Why, why does Austin rule so hard? Okay, so Explosions in the Sky are from there. That's one good thing. And Shiner Bock's an okay beer, so that's two. But I can only sit around my house here in the Northwest listening to EintheS and drinking Shiners.  There has to be more, dammit! There has to be!

hahaha. ok, how bout amazing people, great music everywhere you go and leslie the tranvestite that always runs for mayor.  :D

Oh, okay. You've got me there with the whole civic-minded transgendered citizenry.  Most of our trannies here in the NW are too busy putting on cabarets and gothpunk deejay sets to run for anything.  Sure, it's sexy and all, but what can they do about traffic congestion and the homeless problem?

What we need in Seattle is someone post-op who CARES, dammit. Who will put on a nice pantsuit and get things done!

Cool article.  I had not seen that one before.  Being from the Louisville area, I can tell you that I agree with them about Lynn's, Ear X-tacy, and Ramsi's without a doubt.  If you can, check these places out.  Expect a wait almost anytime at Lynn's, but they do have a small gift shop with quirky gift items to check out.  Ramsi's also has a terrific jerk chicken sandwich that is more like a spicy BBQ chicken sandwich.  

If you don't particularly like Bourbon, we do have some pretty good local beer offerings also.  

Bluegrass Brewing Company http://www.bbcbrew.com/ is very good.  They also have a joint venture with a local restaurant that is located mere yards from the Palace.  Some of us will likely be there prior to the show.

If you have time to venture across the Ohio there is an outstanding Pub in New Albany, IN called Rich-O's Publican House http://www.richos.com/ that has a MASSIVE beer list including offerings from the local New Albanian Brewing Company.  Roger Baylor, the guy who runs this place, is a beer scholar.  I highly recommend the 10-15 minute drive.

I can't really recommend local hotels as I have not stayed in any, but near the Palace Theater we have a few.

The Brown Hotel http://www.brownhotel.com/ where portions of 'Elizabethtown' were filmed.  The Seelbach Hotel http://www.seelbachhilton.com/.  A Brand new Marriott Hotel has just opened recently in downtown alsohttp://marriott.com/property/propertypage.mi?marshaCode=SDFLM.  If these options are found pricey, try outside of the downtown area.  There are also several options just across the bridge from downtown in Southern Indiana.  There is a Ramada http://www.ramada.com/Ramada/control/Booking/property_info?propertyId=00887&brandInfo=RA, a Fairfield Inn http://marriott.com/property/propertypage.mi?marshaCode=SDFJF, and a couple of Holiday Inns fairly close http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/mapsearchresults?mapSearchResults=mapSearchResults&_requestid=551929.  

I also agree with who ever mentioned that 4th Street Live wasn't the best place in Louisville to hang out also.  They have chain restaurants and chain bars which are OK, but you won't learn anything special about Louisville there.  Bardstown Rd, location of The Outlook Inn, Ramsi's, and Ear X-tacy (all mentioned in the MMJ Guide) are located on Bardstown Rd.  The only downside to Bardstown Rd is that it can sometimes be hard to find ample parking.

My god, I'm leaving right now!  Awesome job getting me up to speed (with links no less).  You're too cool.

- Hsufets

Good work there tdan.  I guess the Cliff's Notes version of where to hang out in Louisville is that there are literally miles of bars/coffeeshops/music/restaurants/cool shops along Bardstown Road (which starts out as Baxter Avenue), southeast of downtown.  Hope that helps.  

I've been an  MMJ fan for years, but my first show was this past weekend in Indy.  I took an MMJ newbie and he loved it as well.  We both agreed that we need to make it to the Palace on Nov. 23rd.  I was wondering if they leave the seats in on the floor at the Palace for concerts?  Is that lame?  When I went to buy tickets at ticketmaster the best available was row M.  I think it might drive me crazy to be stuck in a seat away from the stage for the entire concert.  What do you all think?  Am I just picky?

I've seen MMJ twice, once last spring at bonarroo and once back in Nashville this past October 8th.  I can't wait to make that drive from Bowling Green, KY to see one of the best live performances of our time.  We got tickets back in Row FF at the Orchestra section which is kinda far back.  So I'm wondering if anybody has seen anyother concerts there at the Palace?

It's definitely on my brain.  Ach.

No worries all you out-a-towners, the Palace is a great venue to see a band, seats and all.  The acoustics are perfect from anywhere you sit and is small enough so that there's really not a bad seat in the house...as if they'll be used much anyways.  And come on, if Alison Krauss chose The Palace to record her live DVD at, then it's GOT to be legit, right?!  You'll be blown away by it's great looks, too.  Especially the ceiling, you'll see.  And the bar in the back is big/long enough to handle the large liquor drinking MMJ crowds, as well as the perfect place to hang out before the show (Krunk Unit II/Free Crack Fest?).  
Furthermore, this is the first time MMJ will headline there (3rd time playing it I believe...Etown and Wilco the others?) and with VHS or Beta opening, 11-23-2005 promises to be a special night filled with greatness that will be reminisced by avid MMJ fans, potentially like yourselves, for years to come.  Being a Louisvillian and having seen them at least a dozen times since 2000, I must say that this show has generated a buzz unlike any other (with Lebowski Fest a close second).  So come one and come all, let's fill this place up, enjoy this unprecedented show with your fellow "posters"...and cross our fingers they throw in some special treats, costumes, pyrotechnics...and old classics like Phone Went West and Strangulation!  Okay, there's my three pesos.  Just tired of reading all this wishywashyness going on here about whether or not to come.  Get your asses down here or else you'll be kicking yourself in the culo for years to come if you don't.  Now check out how I passed time while watching the Sox sweep the 'Stros...

Right on johnbky, you nailed it my man.  It's going be epic.

Holy Crap!!!  That is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen.

My mind cannot fathom how much ass this show is going to kick.  After Bogart's last night MMJ has solidified their position in my mind as the best live band . . . EVER.

Thanks Johnbky,

You got me.  I'm there.  What was I thinking?

I'm definitely there.

I am looking forward to the Louisville show. Does anyone have two extra tickets that they want to sell as well?

QuoteI am looking forward to the Louisville show. Does anyone have two extra tickets that they want to sell as well?

Why?  Is it sold out?

Not sure if it is sold out, but I received my tickets from Musictoday today!!!!!!

i got my ticket today as well!   ;D

i went on ticketmaster to see wot i could find, and i was getting orchestra 4 row mm, so i dont know if theyre selling the lower leve first , then the balcony?  sweatboard, arent you in the balcony?  wotever the case is, i was row orch 1 row LL for wilco/mmj, and it was all right, but seat-wise nothing to write home about.  

whoo

got mine today

hello yalls
for the folks who have never been to lville, it is a fun city..if not for the highlands and 4th street, however, the city would be worthless and sketchy...but those two areas make it fun for me (because i live in lexington and it sucks)...but i noticed how tix are more expensive for this show than the others..i havnt researched as to why this is, but they must be planning something special (a longer set possibly).  but if anyone has any thoughts on this, by all means share....(sorry if this has been discussed in a previous thread)

i live in lexington too AND it majorly SUCKS...that is probably why the boys never play here (and b/c all the venues suck except the Dame)...however this is just a guess but i would say it is more expensive because it is at The Palace

yeah, i've seen some good shows at the dame (iron and wine, and some other guys i know who are in bands around here), but other than that lex sucks (aside from uk athletics that is).  i was one of about 5 people that saw this band at the phoenix ballroom on short st. and that was a cool place...i dont know what's happened to it since, but i wish that place would have developed a little more...hopefully mmj gets big enough to play rupp in the future because that's the only other place to go in lex(although i saw dmb there in '98 and it was one of the worst venues i've been to for a concert)

Someone asked earlier "why is this show so much more expensive than the others?"  

Come on gang, I know we're all jonesin' for some MMJ, but I believe many have overlooked the fact that the #3 band from Louisville, VHS or Beta, will be opening up for them!!!  Slint being #2 in my humble opinion...anyone else backing me up here or want to object?  

All in all, a complete show, two GREAT bands that are best seen live and even better when seen together.  And for it to be at The Palace of all places?!  It might as well be in heaven.  Hmmm...now THAT would be an interesting theme!  Who knows what they'll come up with for the event, but rest assured, they will deliver.

A little over 15 bones for each band...I consider it a privelage to have a ticket (especially the pair I got in the PIT!!!).  

WoRd.

where in the pit?

Quotewhere in the pit?

I knew you were gonna ask that. ;)

QuoteIt might as well be in heaven.

heh. :)

my grandma has this lung disease and my family has decided to go to visit her for Thanksgiving, since it might be her last Thanksgiving (she lives in Kingsport, Tn)

What does that have to do with this thread?

my parents told me that we will be leaving on Wednsday the twenty-third (night of the concert),  and have told me that i need to sell my ticket. But i am trying to convince them to go on to Kingsport and let me drive to Louisville for the concert, and afterwards i will come back here to Bowling Green and at 6am on the morning after the concert drive to Kingsport (6 hours).

if they say no i will have to sell my tickets, they are in row c in orchestra 2 i believe.

by the way, it was me who asked why it was more expensive...i wasnt complaining by any means, i was just hoping that maybe the higher price meant a longer set list or something..and i've heard a little bit of vhs or beta (not much), and i hated it.  just my opinion though, im sure some people may like them but the instruments and the songs i heard just didnt appeal to me..but i dont mind paying 30 bucks to see the jacket because it's worth it, just twice as much as i paid in june (in asheville, but free in knox.)  and i figured they might be doin something special.

i hate vhs or crap too. it is beyond me why they are opening for MMJ. why not cabin (another louisville band). at least they are original. i could go without seeing skinny litte emo fuckers in tight black pants and jelled hair prancing around stage doing their cliche '80's act. thats just me.

 the reason why the tix cost a little bit more is because the Palace is fucking extremely beautiful and expensive to maintain and staff (insurance as well) and the Palace will not put on a show for $15 a head.

yeah i really dont like that band and wouldnt mind if i were to miss there set (although some bands who suck in the studio can put on a good live show) but yeah their style (music and fashion) is annoying...i've never been to the palace so im sure it is nicer than the orange peel in asheville...by the way, i saw robert randolph a while back at jillians.  how does the palace compare to jillians or any other venue?

i'm assuming, in regards to what I've heard from them musically, and the hype I've heard about them, that it must be their live performance that really defines VHS or Beta as a band. I would at least bother to check em out.

brand new to this board.  i'll be there.

Quotebrand new to this board.  i'll be there.

Welcome glorychords.  :)

Regarding VHS or Beta, I have heard a couple of their studio tracks which did not blow me away.  I saw them last year at one of the waterfront wednesday shows but they did not have my full attention, so I do not feel I should hype them either way.  One thing to keep in mind is that you should keep an open mind.  Give them a chance.  Even if you find that you do not like their music, I'm sure they work hard at what they do and they deserve respect for that if nothing else.  

I am so excited for the show...
yay...!!!

hey another person here in Lexington!  Hmm, maybe when pearl jam comes back to play Rupp then we could get MMJ to be the opening band *dreams*

Anyways, I'll be there at the palace the night before Thanksgiving as well.  Haven't seen MMJ since the lebowskifeast.

4th street sucks unless you like the dance kind of places and trendy folks .

Hmm, wonder why they choose the palace instead of the gardens.

the gardens!? are you serious? the gardens is for ohio valley wrestling only.

i wouldnt go to another show at rupp unless i got free tickets...at dmb, our seats were horrible and the acoustics were terrible...amphitheatres or small smokey venues are the best places to see a show (unless it's a bball game)  but yeah, 4th street isnt really for me unless i go w/ a lot of friends and get wasted..saddle ridge is the ony bar there i like because country music is fun when you're drinking heavily.  also, the place is just good for the city because lets face it, a lot of people trendy (everyone who looks like me is my friend haha)

haha, i love to watch ohio valley wrestling if im ever home on a saturday night.  it's so ridiculous it seems sureal.  if i could ever get anyone to go with me, i would love to get trashed and go to that just to witness the mullets,  mesh tanktops, and rat tails on children under 10 yrs old.

Quotethe gardens!? are you serious? the gardens is for ohio valley wrestling only.

Don't forget the overpriced Def Leppard/Cheap Trick shows and the unattended ABA.

You know, someone's mentioned having Cabin open up for MMJ at the Palace, but now that I've given it some thought, it really wouldn't be a bad idea having them open up before VHS or Beta.  I mean, Dave Cronin and Jake Heustis from Cabin did go to high school with Jim.  Why couldn't they work something out to help yet another up and coming band from Louisville?

Quotethe gardens!? are you serious? the gardens is for ohio valley wrestling only.

guess I'm old, sorry  :'(

but Pearl Jam played there, INXS and the Black Crowes played there just to name a few bands that I know off the top of my head.

smashing pumpkins brought the house down in 1994 there....

.....Got to respond to this one.....not wanting to start a Lexington vs. Louisville war.....but saying that Louisville is "worthless and sketchy" except for the Highlands and 4th Street--Are you fing kidding me?  Have you ever been to Crescent Hill, Old Louisville, Seneca Park, St. Matthews, the waterfront, the miles and miles of parks, East Market art corridor, etc., etc., etc. etc.  WTF???

....It is so funny how many people in Lexington think Louisville is a dark, grimmy, urban, and unsafe place.  That comment seems to really solidify that generalization.

For what it's worth Lexington is a cool town as well with several unique characteristics--and it would be sweet if the Jacket could find a venue to play there.

yeah, i agree louisville is a lot better than lexington.  i didnt mean to categorize the entire city into a ghetto (minus the highlands) but it does have its gloomy, unsafe side.  and i've been to st matthews and old louisville but i just dont spend a lot of time there.  my sis lives in st matthews and it's nice and all.  old louisville is cool as well.  they would be be nice places to live, just not to go out and have fun, in my opinion.  i've been to a few shows at the waterfront too.  but i guess i was being a little to hard on the city, though i do love it (especially compared to lexington).

I'm sorry but I've actually walked through the projects of downtown louisville when I was in the high school with one of my friends.  Think two teenaged little white girls walking through that area of town and no one bothered us.

I got lost in my car here in the projects in Lexington and it scared the shit out me!

IMO Lousiville is a much better town and not a snobby as Lexington.

how in the hell did you get lost in downtown lexington?  haha, jk but it's so small.  downtown louisville, on the other hand is much more convoluted.  it is a bigger city so more "ghettoness" is to be expected.  lexington does have its share of unsafe areas but it's only in the area north of main st.  (short street - new circle road).  but i wouldnt expect you to get murdered or anything like that in either city.  but i've been lost downtown in louisville and was literally chased around a taco bell by a guy wanting money.  a little off the subject, but cincinnatti is probably one of the worst cities in terms of urban plight in this area.  walk around downtown there and see how much you get "bothered"

yo, cities of any size are gonna have issues.  louisville has them, lexington has them, cincinnati has them.  there are some mighty fine places in da ville.  there's bad people everywhere...

Quoteyo, cities of any size are gonna have issues.  louisville has them, lexington has them, cincinnati has them.  there are some mighty fine places in da ville.  there's bad people everywhere...

Word.

PLUS, I don't even judge a neighbourhood anymore by whether it's "good" or "ghetto".  I've had some pretty crap experiences in the "good" neighbourhoods, as well as some totally fine experiences in the "ghettos".  In fact, one of the best experiences of my life was with a "sketchy" person.

by sketchy, i mean a cracked out, billigerent, a$$hole who f's w/ people minding their own business.  im sure the greatest moment in your life didnt happen with someone like that...or who knows, maybe it did and makes one hell of a story.  these are the people, from my personal experiences, that make up the rough parts of cities.  but yeah, they're everywhere...just so happens that more reside in bigger cities

haha, it was when I first moved to Lexington.  I saw a cop and asked for directions on how to get back to main st.   He said " you really shouldn't be driving around this neighborhood"

Yeah, every city is going to have  good sides and bad sides.

Heck, my parents still live in Louisville in a very , very nice neighborhood and my mom told me they made a drug bust at the house across the street from her.

You have good and bad people everywhere.

drugs are bad.

Quotedrugs are bad.

that's news to me.  I have a drug dealer across the street from me too, it's called CVS.  They're all over the place here in Louisville.

well drugs arent bad.  if it werent for drugs, there would be no good music (grateful dead, phish for example).  therefore, drugs are cool!

Quotewell drugs arent bad.  if it werent for drugs, there would be no good music (grateful dead, phish for example).  therefore, drugs are cool!

(just need to say that a LOT of good music is made without drugs.  I don't have a problem with drugs.  I like drugs.  But some people don't need drugs.  And others think they do. )
(also, ba, I hope you didn't think I was dissing you with my words in quotations - that was all me doing that myself, as opposed to mocking or anything. :))
Back to the Louisville show.

Who's excited?  :)

well, the GD and phish do feature two of the best guitartist, IMO, ever to pick up the instrument.  i dont need drugs to enjoy hearing those sounds they make that are so kind to my ears.  although, like charlie daniels once said, once in a while, "i will take another toke" and that takes their music to another level.  im at a loss trying to think of a band that i really like that doesnt toke it up everynow and then (not sure about the jacket, but they are pretty weird..haha).  but EC i looked at what i said and i guess it did seem a little condescending, although i didnt mean it to be.  and im pretty pumped about the show, especially since it's in l'ville and it's the last show of the tour.  im expecting some crazy theatrics.

im with you, i cant think of any musicians that dont at least toke it up, but thats an iffy if its a drug or not, at least in my eyes.  id say you could place yr money on the jacket being tokers, and you wouldnt lose a cent on that.

say, is there some kind of hoe down before the show?  

Can we start a petition or something to have the Louisville Palace showed taped for this DVD project?  Sounds like with all the "talkers" and non-dresser-uppers out in SF, they need to give this another shot...to a crowd more loyal to the Jacket's cause.  What do YOU think?

i see what youre saying about the loyalty and the fact it'd be in louisville, but the fact its a seated theatre would take away from the dynamic of things.  i know most people would be wild out of their seats, but do you know what i mean?

Unfortunatly I know exactly what you are talking about.  It will still be a beautiful evening of music, but a large part of me wishes this show was one of those sweaty pits of love and smiles.  As for the dvd project, if they are going to do a live show I hope they just pick one night and play it all the way through.  I'm not a big fan of live dvd's that switch venues throughout the course of the songs.    

the palace is fucking beautiful, dont get me wrong.  it would just be great to see movement, crunk units, bumping and grinding, maybe even a camel toe.  wot a dvd that would be!

yeah, there's gonna be a hoe down. before the show, during the show, during the bathroom breaks, in the beer line ( assuming there is one), when the lights go on, when i streak the stage, in the balcony, on the floor, in my vomit, on my vomit, around my gyrating ass, after the concert and up until the sun goes up.

christ people, it's homecoming for THE JACKET. i demand we all get shitty and blind this band with our collective energy. only then will the universe be aligned, joyful, and harmonious...only then.

I also demand two sets, an encore, midget wrestling, free beer, and beautiful women.  beautiful women, you may have me! hahahahahahahahhaha

tell the band they must meet my demands but i will settle for whatever they gimme.
