Rumours are swirling around the PJ fanbase that My Morning Jacket will tour with Pearl Jam. Anyone heard anything like this? At first I thought to myself, "Self, I don't think My Morning Jacket needs to OPEN for ANYONE." But then, I realized that it would expose the band to a group of fans that is loyal to the band it follows, just like Jacket fans. Pearl Jam has lost most of it's "frat-boy" following over the years...It might not be a bad match-up...and since Pearl Jam is touring Europe....My Morning Jacket might be able to take care of some unfinished business along the way. Thoughts?
I love it.
Pearl Jam is my favorite band, and MMJ is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
News coming from PJ in 2 hours
details for the new album (tracklist, title, etc.) are expected today at 1pm PST, along w/ touring info.
and yeah, MMJ are strongly rumored to open the first leg (east coast)
while i've probably seen PJ more than any other band, they will have their work cut out for them w/ MMJ opening :)
doh!
guess we wait until March 7th ;)
new site looks great tho
If they open the East Coast tour I may loose my house. I will literaly go broke following them around. I'm trying not to get to excited about this but it's starting to look like a real possibility. Looks like Ramen Noodles for dinner for the next few months.
this would be a dream come true. i really hope its true.
wow. *crossing fingers*
My thread over at the Pearl Jam board..................
So, if My Morning Jacket does play with Pearl Jam does anyone have any good thoughts on what would be the perfect tag from a MMJ song for Eddie to include.
I go with - Phone Went West tagged onto Betterman
It's the same D-A-G chord progression the lyrics work with Betterman and they could jam the ever living hell out of the end of it just like MMJ does.

Meh. MMJ plays the goddamned Hawaii 5-0 theme. Please, don't let them soil PJ's stage on a tour.

That is a great response, thank you so much for reminding me why I don't waste my time here. Also I heard that PJ tried to get Ider Down to open for them but they were already headlining thier own World Tour. I wouldn't worry to much about My Morning Jacket soiling PJ's stage, I'd worry about PJ getting showed the fuck up by a band that plays the Hawaii 5-0 theme song
haha
Nicely done Sweat. Nicely done. :)

Ain't that the truth!
I sincerely hope this is true!!
Nice work on the PJ board too, that was a great response.
Nice work at Synergy. I don't hang out there anymore either. It got to be a bit much. That, and I was banned. It really isn't a good barometer of PJ fans though. Most aren't members of the message board.

bammer's a dumbass what can we say lol, I met him when PJ played vancouver last fall
Anyways, I hope to god that MMJ opens for PJ. And damnit, Jim James you'd better play Lexington if not I'ld better see you open for PJ in Louisville ;)
bammers an idiot.
trust me on this, i've been his board enemy for the past year or so.

Oh Snap, It's my boy. Yes, Golden tagged to Daughter you called it first.
If they open for Pearl Jam are we going to be able to get tix? I can see alot of people trying to get tix through the mmj fan club or whatever its called we joined up to circumvent the Paerl Jam fan club tix. Anybody have thoughts on how this will work. PJ sells out all the time up here in Jersey.
opinions here....does anyone think it will be co-headlining? i cant really stand the thought of mmj playing second fiddle. i went to the wilco show in louisville last year and left big time pissed, mainly because the show started so early, and i walked in at 8:03 with them 4 songs in to their set. basically, is anyone besides me here unhappy at the thought of them opening for pearl jam? i wont pay $30 or more to see them open, and i wont be going to the shows if they happen. just saying. good luck to the band regardless, it will be an amazing opportunity for them, just not my personal preference. ill wait to hear for the announcement, but look like my money will be saved for bonnarroo.
just my humble opinion: I don't think of it as "second fiddle" but as a HUGE, golden opportunity for them to open for a huge band like PJ. Talk about taking it to another level....I'm certain PJ fans know all about MMJ, but perhaps a large portion of the audience might not know them and get enthralled with the boys like any of us did the first time we saw them live. Imagine a sold out venue with hundreds of new fans, prepared to run out and buy records, join the messageboard, etc.
If this indeed does happen, it will be pretty friggin' awesome. ;)

nah, i get what youre saying. thats why i said it would be awesome for the band. i wonder if they think they cant do anything more to further their legacy unless its opening for a well established band? theres nothing wrong with that, i guess its just the purist in me wanting them to have their own tour and see them play twice or three times as long on any given night. i guess another part is that ive tried and tried and tried to get in to pearl jam, even the later stuff, and i cant do it. mmj & radiohead, im there!
Well, MMJ toured for Z and I'm sure they will headline for the next album. This tour if it happens is just iceing on the cake. They really don't have to do it. John is right though the audience PJ draws these day are really die hard music fans that listen to alot of different music. It will be a good opportunity for the band. I think MMJ would benefit a great deal from touring with PJ for the simple fact that I think PJ would have alot of good advice on how to handle the music buisness side of it. PJ has been through a whole lot and come out on top of it. I really respect the way they run thier band and the way they treat thier fanbase.
even though ive really tried and cant get in to PJ's stuff, i do have the utmost respect for them as musicians and businessmen. they do treat their fans tremendously, and MMJ's record company and PR (hey everybody!) could learn quite a lot. i do think it will be a great opportunity if it happens, just not my particular cup of tea. no harm in that, just saying. if it's good for the band thats all that matters, i wish them the best, just hope we can get a headlining tour as well and oh yeah, europe gets plenty of dates, too. ;D

great post bro. it would be an EXCELLENT oppurtunity for MMJ to get their music out there to a huge fanbase (just ask Sleater Kinney). I still can't believe how many PJ fans have never heard of them.
Yeah they've played with some great bands...sonic youth, sleater kinney, ben harper, neil young, michael stipe, kings of leon, buzzcocks, etc. etc.
Quotejust hope we can get a headlining tour as well and oh yeah, europe gets plenty of dates, too. ;D
Don't forget the Oz tour for Ali & Japan for my mate Ricky C :)
Quotethis would be a dream come true. i really hope its true.
I agree with you. I have wanted this from the first moment I heard MMJ. I only hope they are allowed to play as long as they want to.
Please No
Does PJ even know about MMJ?
See, I wondered the same thing because I've never heard anyone in the band mention them. Which just remindes me how pissed I still am at myself for not going through with my plan to toss the vinyl addition of Acoustica up on stage a couple years ago during the vote for change show in Asheville. I could have done it easily. I had seats way down front and could have easily walked up to the stage and tossed it up there. With a note "Eddie, check out this record and call me and thank me once it blows your MIND.... (865) 456-8532. Love,
Brian"
last time Pearl Jam made a trip thru Dallas, I bought 2 lawn tickets for 10 bucks. Total. That was my price point. Speaking of point, what is mine, Pearl Jam is not what they used to be, so there should be some tickets available for these shows.
so it's 100% official, more dates will indeed be announced:

That can't be right that is to short for the first leg of a World Tour. Where did you read this?
What about the south? The second leg would have to be west coast. Fuck, I hope there are some southern shows with MMJ. Regardless, My Dream Has Come True. PJ and MMJ on the same night. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I don't even know if one human being can stand that much ROCK in one sitting. I'm willing to give it a try though.
Not sure about the specific dates, but if you go to pearljam.com the first portion of that post is in the RSS feed of the News section...
http://pearljam.com/press/USTourNews_LegOne.pdf
there will be more shows added within that leg, guarantee it.
Wha? I wonder why the tour would begin in Toronto? Do we have a really special PJ following?
Wow. The Air Canada Centre is a big place. I saw Neil Young there on greendale. There's hockey and basketball there. It's a really big place. I mean, it's really really big.
Hm. That's pretty neat.
Brian, sweetpea, you know you have a place to stay if you want to come up. Fo sho. :)
Pearl Jam has a huge following the world over. They are playing two shows in Toronto.....YOU BETTER MAKE IT TO BOTH. PJ is going to blow your socks off and the band opening is pretty good as well. If only I could afford to get to Toronto. Anyone want to carpool?
Just think, the air canada will be about 3/4 full of people when My Morning Jacket is ripping through Run Thru and Don Dante. This has me so excited. I can't believe this is actually going to happen........I'm giddy. ;D
yeah, but Pearl Jam just finished a HUGE Canadian tour last fall, which i believe included 2 Toronto shows, or at the very least 3-4 shows within an hour of two of TO ;)
QuoteYOU BETTER MAKE IT TO BOTH.
I better start listening to Pearl Jam. :-/
Holy crap. I better call my brother. He's going to flip.
I want to be a roadie on this tour. Seriously someone with some connections hook me up. I'll carry all of MMJ's gear on my back from city to city. I'll make beer runs, foot massages, you name it. I'm very versitile.
Quote

You bet your ass you better. I'll hook you up. I'm going to PM you now.
man i love that you guys are so receptive to this tour. i can think of a lot of fanbases (Sleater-Kinney & Death Cab for example), whose fanbases were pretty bitchy when both those bands opened for PJ ;D
and likewise, i think MMJ are gonna win over SO many fans on this tour, much more than w/ DMB or anything like that 8)
I need some Pearl Jam fans to give me strategies on how to get tickets. I've never had to worry about sold out shows before. Am I allowed to get PJ fans to buy tickets for me if I pay them back?
Like, is this the kind of manic situation where I'm going to have to be on the phone or the internet at a certain time and I only have a ten second window in order to achieve my goal? I feel nervous and panic stricken.
I agree 110 percent solace. The core fanbase that Pearl Jam has kept are some hardcore music fans and know what Live Rock & Roll is all about. This is so so much better than getting a video on MTV or a shit load of radio play or reaching #1 on the Billboard charts. This is officially the greatest thing that has ever happened in the history of the world......Next to Corey and Megan recording the Pina Colad song for me.

You'll be able to get tickets but if you want to be anywhere remotley close. You may want to go ahead and become a PJ fan club member...it cost $20 bucks. Just go to tenclub.net. Fan Club members must by tickets in pairs and they are allowed to buy tickets for however many shows they want. I'll send you another PM. ;)

if it was 1995, then i'd say "good luck" with a laugh
but in 2006, Pearl Jam tickets aren't quite as hot commodity as they once were. not to say they still don't sell out huge places, but it's not lightning fast/within minutes like it used to be.
and yeah, if you're lucky enough to find someone with a Fan Club membership who will have an extra, that would definitely be the best bet. Ten Club members usually get the best seats, but you can still pull decent seats for some shows from Ticketmaster. the prices after fees are kinda a bitch this time, anywhere between $55-65 ($49 before any fees). it is a lot of $$, i won't deny that. i see 80-100 shows a year, most all between $8-15, but if there's any show that's worth $50 it's a 2.5+ hour Pearl Jam show. you add MMJ opening for them, with the prospect of the band joining Pearl Jam on stage during their encore (it WILL happen eventually by tour end, the possibilities of what song are mindnumbing for me), and maybe even Jim & Ed dueting on something (ala Ben Harper & Ed doing Indifference :o), and it's one of the best touring bargains around this summer imo! i'm only bummed i can't do anything more than Chicago on this leg.

good god, just the thought of hearing MMJ's amazing music opening up for PJ has me giddy :D. i mean PJ has had some amazing openers before (Sonic Youth, Idlewild, Mudhoney, Bad Religion, Iggy Pop, etc.), but this is def a pairing of 2 of my absolute fave live bands.
I went and got a six pack and put on the Ottawa '05 bootleg. Yes Giddy is what I'm feeling. ;D
