There was talk it would be M Ward which I really hope, or She & Him, Has there ever been an official confirmation?
as of right now it is still billed as "an evening with", which means there is no opening act.
I'm guessing it will be an Evening with but there is def a chance M ward or Zooey shows up...i'm hoping.
i'm hoping for Yo La Tengo--
i think it would be awesome if the black keys showed up again.
left field request- howlin rain or band of horses
I thought for sure they would have one other fairly big name to help sell tickets. Is there anyway to find out how many tickets have sold to this so far?
i thought the original rumor (before the show was even announced) was Yo La Tengo & M. Ward opening. that would pretty much be a dream come true.
I heard its gonna be Hanna Montana. For the ticket sales, you know?
yo la tango just announced they are playing the wellmont theater on NYE (w/the Feelies) so i'm ruling them out :-(
The Doobie Brothers sound good to me...

If you try to buy 2 tix right now I think the best available are in the 300's if that is any indication.

The Horses are in Atlanta...I would like to see a Jim and Ben show at a random festival though. Left field dreamers... ;)
...i hope it's just MMJ for 4 hours

No I hope its M. Ward for an hour and fifteen and 4 hours of MMJ!!

I could be on board for this. I also wouldn't mind if the Drive-By Truckers came by and gave us about an hour of ROCK. A guy can dream.
All MMJ... an opening act will simply be a waste of time
QuoteAll MMJ... an opening act will simply be a waste of time
I fully agree...an opening act will just take time away from the boys. I also think if there was going to be an opening act they would have announced it already.
They haven't had an opener since when? Red Rocks? Why would they have an opener on New Years?

I'm a little bit conflicted since I really enjoyed The Slip in 06 and, if it wasn't for openers, I might never have heard MMJ or Yo La Tengo (w/ The Flaming Lips, best combination ever). Then again, hearing those extra few songs this time around was really great. And I've hated most of the openers I've seen. So, I don't know. . .
I think it would be cool to have some musical "guests" show up to play with the band.

That would be nice...I wonder what Neil Young is doing for NYE?
i can see a "guest" showing up. Perhaps a couple...i bet it's going to be a night none of us could ever predict
I think there will be someone. I'm thinking Zooey and M. Ward. Not to open, but guest on some tunes.
QuoteI think there will be someone. I'm thinking Zooey and M. Ward. Not to open, but guest on some tunes.
I'm thinking the same.
i definitely think there will be some guests. I DEFINITELY DEFINITELY think its a show none of us can ever properly prepare for- our minds will be blasted. I'm going through withdrawal- trying to wait patiently for NYE while holding on to the memory of Philly but it's getting difficult now

I am so insanely jealous of you guys :'(
I'm guessing a horn section is likely.

It'll be okay- It's all going to be allllllllllll right! If you can't come to NYE don't worry- you'll experience another Jacket show that will exceed all expectations (both of my shows have) and your heart will fill so much that your chest will barely be able to contain it. Your mind will always drift to that wonderful night and you will feel like a better person for watching them rock. Worry not!

Steven Bernstein (Sex Mob, John Zorn, Levon Helm, etc.) has it listed on his website that he is playing with MMJ on NYE.

I'm good! You would think I was going to this show wouldn't you? I shall just live vicariously thru y'all. Just got invited to a NYE party. We haven't done anything on NYE since our kids were born so I'm lookin' forward to it. It's no MSG, but it will do!
You gonna park in a different spot this time? ;)

You know it I'll be parking somewhere else! This time in a garage that doesn't close at 11PM. Actually going to get a hotel on the train line somewhere this time. I'll try to have enough fun for you too. I have extras on the floor if you decide to go. In fact if anyones interested in 2 in section 9 on the floor, PM me.
man funk one dem openers at is show dawg
I hardly know yee BH but your dedication and knowledge of all things MMJ is heart warming. I feel sad that you wont be at MSG- you deserve to be right up front and center with your family rockin and rollin! I wish you the most enjoyable NYE sir!
Anyone remember what time they started and ended at the Fillmore in 06. I seem to remember going to bed around 430 here on the east coast but I dont think it was quite over. There were two opening acts at that show, and I notice the MSG tix say 9pm. I was hoping they would start a little later, say 10-1030?
Maybe they will play for 4 hrs.!

I feel like the Fillmore show got over at about 1:00-1:30 A.M. PST, I missed the opening acts, I think I saw the last song of the opener. I'd say they came on stage around 10:30ish....give or take. My memory may be a bit shoddy ;)
That sounds about right, Id guess. I did notice the tickets don't say "An evening with".
Well the good news is, as of today, I am in the Pit, got my tickets today, special thanks to Lindsay from this board!!
Hello All! Long-time lurker here, first time poster.
I just wanted to put this opening act question to bed. I found out from an inside source that there will absolutely NOT be an opener for MSG. Jacket are scheduled to play a 4-hour set from 9pm - 1am. This is truly going to be EPIC. The lighting and stage set up is going to be massive. I've heard a couple rumors of special things that are going to happen, but I don't want to ruin the surprise. Suffice it to say that Jim's entrance will be legendary.
Any MMJ fan worth his (or her) salt needs to be at this show!
Look forward to talking to you all. Glad I finally had a good reason to post.

you didn't give too much away - epic, massive, legendary - pretty sure this is what we're all expecting. thanks for the insight on the opener situation, though, that makes me VERY happy. Gaaah, is it December yet?!?! :-X :D :D :D
Well, if Jim has a "warped" sense of humor, i can see his entrence on a stretcher.......... (and i mean that in the best possible taste :D)
seriously, 4 hours............."4" hours!!!!!!, are you kidding me!!!, my ticket cost $50, NOT $500!!!!...... gotter looove the jacket for that ;).
How bout the royal philharmonic orchestra shows up! :D
i got a text from bluesky (from this board) last night telling me that Nicole Atkins will be doing a couple songs w/MMJ on NYE :-)
her comp is down so i thought i'd post
^While trying to find out more about her I read she "claims to have once built a shrine to vocalist Robert Plant".... hmmm.
She's got a great voice too.
jj is actually going to be shot out of a canon through a ring of fire onto a bed of spikes.
it's going to rule our faces.
