Was listening to local radio (WRNR) about an hour ago and the DJ was talking about MOF's tour being finished and saying that all the members could now go back to their respective "main gigs." He then said "it looks like My Morning Jacket might be the first concert at Merriweather this Spring...more details coming..."
!!!
Hey! Somebody come in here and freak out with me! Please?!?

WOW :D :D :D :D ;D
Not the biggest Merriweather fan, but I'm totally looking forward to going there this Spring now!!!
Thanks, Sass! :)
I'm with you on Merriweather, but I'm just terribly excited at the prospect of ANY shows on top of Jazz Fest!
I'll post again if I hear details.

Hmm...wonder if they'll do Red Rocks again since they played there last year?
I need to calm down.

that means they've set a precedent and they HAVE to come back.... ;)
NoVa....we'll have an adventure. :)
They're due.
Red Rocks please.
And five-night residency in Chicago :)
I don't give a crud where else they play, but they better come to ST LOUIS. I'm offering my yards (yes I have technically 3), house, soon to be filled with fresh organic pork deep freeze for them to come here.
And i shall be at any NY shows, Bonnaroo, and convenient Northeast shows

So much THIS. If they play at Red Rocks again this year, we are going to have a JacketFestWest at my cabin in Boulder County. Etch that shit in stone, people.
And I'll go to Chicago too.
Another outdoor louisville show would be aaaaawwweeesooommmmeee!!!! :o :o
:D :D :D
Excellent!! Merriweather is fairly close to my sister and her hubbie's place. Can't think of a better way to indoctrinate the two of them into the magic of the Jacket LIVE!! Plus, any Philly or NYC show will be great as well!!!
Count me in for Bonnaroo, every Northeast show, and maybe even another show or two. Time without MMJ has made me bloodthirsty.
I have a friend that lives 5 minutes away from mpp. Sweet!
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG....i just saw that on your facebook! now you all have to go leave a prayer on my facebook prayer circle thread. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
i just got saliva all over myself.....
I heard it while I was at the drive-thru at Starbucks, and I blurted it out to the woman working the window. It was painfully obvious she had no idea who I was talking about and thought I was insane. LOL.
Still listening to the station and haven't heard an update. Hopefully I didn't miss it while I was unloading the car.
I will be at any New England shows for sure....
hartford, boston, manchester, portland ... ?!?!......
Thank you so much for letting us know this! I live near D.C. and had to do a double take to make I was reading properly.... and then realizing properly that it was actually the Mer Post Pavillion close by and that spring is pretty close too.
*breathes into paper bag*
*puts head between knees*
*thud*
man that would be so sweet- I bet I could find somewhere free to stay in DC... but if they are in DC, surly NYC and Philly will get hits as well right? RIGHT!?!?
QuoteI will be at any New England shows for sure....

AMEN Brother
i'm done listening to rumors about speculative dates. with that said... tuesday of next week I have a feeling they will drop the dates.... as yim says.... god damn these shakey knees :D
They won't be touring near me but atleast they'll be touring.
I can deal with that.
All I'm saying is the boys better represent the SOUTHEAST.
Memphis-->Nashville-->Louisville, please!
my heartrate just jumped up as I read the title of this thread
i've been postponing all of my summer plans, waiting to hear about whether there will be a tour, and where/when they will play. I'm hoping to convince the girlfriend to tailor our summer vacation plans around an MMJ tour. She seems relatively interested.
I've got a fever, and the only prescription, is more MMJ.

That's Noonish for me! Guess I'll be eating lunch at the desk. Again. ;)
isn't 12 am the witching hour and 3am the devil's hour?
I remember that from Scooby-Doo And The Ghoul School
Ohhhhhhh...not sure on those hours. If this comes to fruition, it shall forever be referred to as the HEAVENLY HOUR. ;D
Vespa, only dates (no tix) expected this afternoon. Expected, not certain.

I feel so bad for doubting that kid on Inforoo when he said the dates were coming out this week. Then again, he did say he got it from the Coachella board, which is a cesspit. ;D
Either way I'm freaking THRILLED to be wrong! ;D ;D ;D
and now if I can just make one small request...
PLEASE announce the whole tour at once so we can plan intelligently!
Quotethis is f'n killing me......I better see a local (to me) date
Good lord, I'm sitting here trying to draft bylaws for condo associations (zzzzzzz) and I cannot even finish a paragraph without coming back to check the board. It's gonna be a loooooong day.

I'm listening to Brokedown Palace from 6.22.85 and thinking how great a Jacket version would be.
Can't listen to Jacket right now. Would freak.
Hrm...is the concertwire link still working? It's down for me.
I am about to puke...you know that anxious feeling you get right before crap yourself? :D
I'm not saying that MMJ can't sell out some amphitheatres by themselves, but it makes me wonder if this could be a "double bill" type tour with another big name.

MMJ and DBT new tour dates in the same week...this is like Christmas for me.
Do we think a new album will be out before then? I'm surprised to hear April dates- I was assuming later in the year.... hey, I'm not complaining.... just wondering if they'll tour without an album
Charleston was being billed as "with Special Guests Preservation Hall," but that link is down now.

If this would be the double bill, I would forgo my stance of no ampitheater shows. This would be bad ass....and party at Dave's!

Looks like The National in Richmond has a big announcement at 3 pm. That may have been what my source was referring to rather than an all out tour announcement. We shall see. :D
Oohhh...could crash on my nieces floor for that one. She's in school down there. ;D ;) :)
Been tied up all morning, haven't had lunch yet, and am now glued to this board! Come on with the dates, y'all!! :)
The mods for this forum are very quiet...I am mentioning this because they usually shoot down rumors pretty quick. What are they hiding? ;)
Mayhap they feel it's no use addressing the inevitable explosion!
OMG - please play somewhere else in FL rather than St. Aug. on the 27th. Play there too, but I have a fucking deferred compensation final the next morning. St. Aug. would be the easiest place to go to from Gainesville. ::Sigh:: Looks like I will be traveling a bit farther to see the boys. Sorry for the griping. I just jumped through the roof when I saw the link for the April 27th show, then got kicked in the nuts when I check my exam schedule.
i can barely stand it anymore...i really need to hear something....the St Auggie link that I found gave me a taste...but now I need the whole meal...i need it...i need it...i need it :D
Ugh...looks like that 3 pm announcement has nothing to do with the tour.
I'm sorry, but I think we'll see something soon.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :'(
:( Oh well, I am sure we will all know soon enough!!
Yeah, it would seem a little unusual to me to announce tour dates on a Friday...usually good news is scheduled earlier in the week ;) Friday announcements are usually reserved for the stuff they want you to forget about over the weekend ;D

Whoa - good catch, that's a fine point, BigEVIL! I'd like nothing more than to raise a glass to some tour dates tonight. :)
It's been almost a full year, but the wait is finally over. My Morning Jacket are ready to bring their electrifying live show back on the road. The guys will make their way around the Southeastern United States this Spring, including a performance at this year's Jazzfest in New Orleans. MMJ are also excited to both try something new with their choice for an opening act, and bring some of the spirit of NOLA along with them. The band is honored that the historic Preservation Hall Jazz Band will be supporting them on the run.
The connection with the PHJB originated in the Spring of 2009 when MMJ frontman Jim James was invited to sing with them at their home turf, New Orleans' legendary Preservation Hall. James recorded two songs with the band: "St. James Infirmary" and "Louisiana Fairytale." The tracks will appear on the bands forthcoming album, PRESERVATION: An Album To Benefit Preservation Hall & The Preservation Hall Music Outreach Program, out February 16th.
"When I got the invitation to go to the legendary Preservation Hall – where SO much of the music we now know and love on this earth found its early roots – I did not waste a minute," James reminisces. "Getting to sing while the guys played with such glorious bursts of sound – all live in that holy room with the ghosts and garbage trucks crankin' along – was an experience I'll never forget."
The PHJB's leader Ben Jaffe shares his memory of playing with James: "I couldn't have imagined Jim fitting in any better with the guys at Preservation Hall. Creating music is not a science. There is no tried and true formula. There is an unspoken bond amongst musicians. One that exists in the notes we choose. Jim's like our long lost cousin coming home for the first time."

Nashville. No way that's happening.
They will def have more dates this year....I cant miss them with horns though.
I dont know about the other venues, but Merriweather is considerably bigger than anywhere theyve played besides MSG I think.....
I may be at the Merriweather show...
BIRMINGHAM!
:D
I am hoping more dates will come out for the summer
just got a similar email from musictoday
just got my official MMJ email!!! It's on!
Is it too early to start a roll call?
hmmmm, I feel a Nashville Road trip may be eminate. Unless they come north of the Mason -Dixon line.
QuoteDrive-By Truckers.
(and it would be one heck of a double bill)
I hope MMJ never tours with DBT because I would be forced to quit my job and go on tour with them.
bold, you say that like it's a bad thing ;D
I'm on Southwest right now booking a flight to Nashville. $98 bucks from Philly both ways!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Well, lets change that to 438 days of saved up Jacket Energy released on Birmingham, Alabama!
hmmm... not readily apparent how to make those work..... besides hoping for more dates.... maybe MD on a Sat night? cheap flights from BOS.
BIRMINGHAM!!!!!!!!!!!
Quotebold, you say that like it's a bad thing ;D
It would def be a good thing....the only bad thing would be figuring how to eat and buy all those tickets...minor details.
Aaargh!!!! Just seeing that the Merriweather date will happen while I'm still in New Orleans...Ah well, hopefully more dates will pop up.
Hmmm, but there's the 25th, 26th, 27th...still open. Come on night time MMJ show!!! :D :D :)
Yay for all y'all who will be able to catch part of this tour!! :)
