My Morning Jacket

Very cool to see MMJ are headlining Voodoo Fest. I doubt I will make it but perhaps this means more shows in the south after or before Halloween.

 :D

I bought a ticket to this the other night just before the line up was announced.  No MMJ.   But, since I'll be able to ride my bike to this event, I wasn't going to complain.

Then, I get up today and my first email message is the MMJ annoncement  :D :D :D :D

Ya mon!  This just gets better and better.

Anyone coming down?  Halloween in NoLa is nuts!

I have heard such great things about Nola on Halloween which is easily my favorite holiday. But after going to NYC for 5 nights this doesn't seem doable.

All 5 in NYC -- AWESOME!

Yeah, I had a brief moment this morning when I thought I'd skip the NY shows that I can make it to, but quickly changed my mind.

Well, if the stars align or you win the lotto and can make it down, let me know!

I might try to make this.  I was going to go last year, but it fell through.  This year the funds are better, but I'll have to see how much vacation I have left by October.  AND I'm going to Italy in late August/early September, so that might put a big dent in the funds.  Either way, awesome!  Exicted for you NoVa!

Just bought my tickets!!!!!!! I wouldve preferred a single day pass, but I couldn't find one on the website...and they don't have the schedule slots up yet, so I wasn't gonna chance missing out on this this!  :D

Does anyone know what the set lengths are typically for voodoo??

Nova--congrats on your move down to NOLA! hope you're enjoying the new job.

Thanks, Penny!  I haven't moved yet though...heading down at the end of the month. I start the new job on July 9.  Super excited!

Hawkeye -- I hope that you can make it!

EasyRider -- see you there!  I haven't been to VooDoo in a long while.  Pretty excited that MMJ will get a closing slot, in the forest no less.  Should be a great show!

Is there a reason why they're not listed on the VE website?

Even though their post-jazz fest show at Preservation Hall will be tough to rival, another late night post-festival gig in New Orleans doesn't seem to be out of the question:

"Each night as the gates at City Park close, the electricity of the Voodoo Experience and the spirits of New Orleans will mix and mingle into a nonstop celebration along Frenchmen Street, the French Quarter, Uptown, the Warehouse District and all point in between. The best local musicians and many Voodoo artists will take the stages of legendary venues...Known as Voodoo After Dark or Voodoo 24/7, there is no shortage of live music and sweaty dancing as each night's celebration will surely extend past sunrise."
(from Voodoo site)

We can dream, can't we?  

P.S. jmk, check this link: http://2010.thevoodooexperience.com/

It's a tricky site to maneuver

haha, hi Nova!!   I won't be making it, but I'm so happy for you, have fun!!

Ahhhh!!  I went last year and am most definately going again this year!  Halloween + Nawlins is insane as is but throw in some MMJ and kablam!  

impressive names they're sitting with on top of that bill.  MUSE, Ozzy & My Morning Jacket.  I guess Sasquatch helped prove to peoplethat they are "the best".

everyone that's going...DONT MISS MUSE!!!!!

Thanks, Kenny!  It's been a long time -- hope that everything is going well for you!!   :)  Are you able to make any of the Terminal 5 shows?

fucking a man. me and the ole girl are gonna hit it up. so how's nola around halloween time?

well maybe lil wayne will parachute in straight outta the pin and do a rendition of 'highly suspicious'!!!!

Halloween in New Orleans is almost a high holiday.  Do come prepared to costume.  Trick or treating is optional, costuming is not.  ;)  I haven't heard anything yet about the MoMs Ball, but details will be available as the date gets a little closer.  

I'll post here as I find out who's playing where, etc.  How long will you be in town for?

Has anyone heard anything about which day MMJ might be playing?

Also, does anyone know when single-day tickets might be going on sale?

Thanks!

Awww, that sounds fun... going to miss it since me and the mrs will be too tired from all 5 Terminal 5 shows. Hopefully next year!

went to NO years ago for Halloween... IT WAS CRAZY :-X

QuoteHas anyone heard anything about which day MMJ might be playing?

Not too sure which day they'll be playing, but you can expect single day tickets in late September/early October. They usually sell them only a few weeks before the festival.

I'm not sure if Voodoo usually sells out or not, but a 3-day pass is $170 including fees and single day passes run for $70 (not including fees)...soo if you want to hit Saturday and Sunday, it's almost worth it to just buy a 3-dayer and have the choice to go Friday.

MoMs Ball??? What is this? We're engaged and thinking about tying the knot while down there. And we've thought about driving down there on monday and staying a week but that could get costly.

Sooo great Louisville news!! Now is anyone else in my boat:

I have a 3-day Voodoo pass, yet I live smack between New Orleans and Louisville temporarily. I obviously would rather see MMJ than anything at Voodoo on Friday night, BUT that would mean 20 hrs. of driving in one weekend to make their Voodoo set.

My question: will the Louisville show be epic enough to merit $100 in gas plus a ticket (and then drive to NO for Voodoo)? OR since wax fang is sharing set time (not that they aren't great) and it's a HUGE venue, should I stick with a more cozy Halloween show (inconveniently unconfirmed) in the park that will probably be longer and spookier. Curses...

I much appreciate opinions, my mind is open to your generous suggestions.

you should make the trip on Fri

1  it's the 'hometownness' that will make it special, not the length
2. i think the L-ville set might even be longer than VooDoo (or similar)
3. you might get to meet Teo in L-ville
4. free chicken (maybe)
5. it will be plenty spooky, bring a change of pants

"it's the 'hometownness' that will make it special, not the length"

I thought about this, but it wasn't 'til you said it that it hit me...the trouble is New Orleans is home for me, so it feels like a hometown show when they play there too!

I guess this is kinda one of those between a pillow and a soft place decisions...thanks for your input  :)

Check out Ozzy's space: http://www.myspace.com/ozzyosbourne

Process of elimination proves that the Jacket will freak New Orleans on HALLOWEEN night!! Unless of course Ozzy fudged his myspace dates in a fit of drunken blundering....

If this truly means that Ozzy plays on Saturday, that almost positively leaves MMJ as the closer of the festival. My first Halloween show with my favorite band in my favorite city...hope to see you guys there   [smiley=evil.gif]

P.S. There's this too: http://stereogumbo.com/2010/06/20/voodoo-fest-schedule/

im weary of committing to this show due to lack of buzz. mmj halloween sounds pretty awesome. any speculations

Quoteim weary of committing to this show due to lack of buzz. mmj halloween sounds pretty awesome. any speculations

I still don't understand the lack of buzz about this one either.

It's a follow up show to T5 and Louisville, so the way I figure it is they will be well versed and capable of playing the hell out of ALL of their repertoire, and they will be on an emotional high after most likely playing an epic hometown show.

SO then they land their shoes in New Orleans feelin' glorious without too much pressure, because they just nailed the most anticipated run of 5 shows in their musical careers. The people will be weird, the vibe will be great and (God willing) they will have a considerably long set time to close the festival out. Can it possibly be bad???  :D

Dude I'm totally with you in this. I'm pretty sure they'll be playing some oldest but goodies and for sure be closing the fest on halloween.

Didn't read all of the thread, apologies if it's already known -- MMJ will close on SUNDAY!  See Voodoo site for daily artist list.  No times yet.  Single day tix on sale, too.

SO glad you found this...even though I can't find it on the website, I trust you! I'm just happy that our suspicions are confirmed.

Hopefully this means some blocks will come out in the coming week (Voodoo gets a D- for keeping festival goers informed).

Sorry to post and run earlier today. =)

Here's the link to the daily line ups:  http://thevoodooexperience.com/2010exp/daily-line-up/

So far, I can't find where to get single day tickets.  The email that I got had a subject line of "Single Day Pre-Sale Starts Now!"  but no other info on the pre-sale....guess it's coming soon.

Edit
Just noticed the link to the pre-sale daily tix in the email... :-[  On sale to the general public Friday.


And, the VooDoo banner went up at City Park last weekend...!

Thanks for the link! I feel a little better now...and yes, that banner is a beautiful sight.

The lineup Sunday looks really great all around, I wish I had a large robot that could hold my place all day on the front row for MMJ so that I didn't have to miss out on the other stuff!

Do you have any idea about when they're going to announce specific times??

(P.S. Nova, I know this is a bit preemptive, but maybe we could team up and hold down some ground on the mainstage all day and periodically take turns going to see other stuff. I'm gonna have a party of 3)

Do you guys live in nola or have yall booked hotels?

Easy...happy to help. =)  I'm usually not a front row person though.  Are you going all three days?  

Pt2...I'm a local since July. :)

Let me know if you have questions about where to stay, etc.  I haven't been to VooDoo in a number of years, so I'm not the best person to comment on what it'll be like.

Now we just need a late night/early morning show at the Mahalia Jackson and we'll be all set!  ;)

Come to think of it I might need to try out the 50 feet back, sonic sweet spot approach...

I have a 3-day pass, but I can't make it for Friday unfortunately (I like that day's lineup much better than Saturday). I will be there for the last 2 days though.

And welcome to the city!! I'm from there, but I temporarily live in Alabama unfortunately...nevertheless, this is my first Voodoo. And if a Mahalia show is announced I'll drain the bank account.

touchingmept2: I'm probably going to stay with a friend uptown, so I won't have to hotel it. If I were you I'd stay at a (reputable) hostel. I don't know names, but there are quite a few around the city that are safe, cheap and are inhabited by very interesting people.

Well I really appreciate the help peeps. I wish they would release show times cuz mmj and mgmt are both playing on Sunday. I'm thinking mgmt will play b4 mmj. I find it unusuall but awesome that drizzy and ozzy are gonna be rockin it on the same nite hehehe. This is gonna be greeaaattt! Geez I'm so excited!!!! ;D

QuoteDo you have any idea about when they're going to announce specific times?

Just checked the Times-Picayune archives online and it looks like last year they announced the actual schedules at midnight on October 1.  Not sure if they'll go by a similar time frame this year, but it looks like we'll be waiting another 3 weeks or so.  

Did I read that correctly a few posts above that single-day tickets were going on sale Friday?

anyone got an idea about how much single days might cost? and What are the chances of an after show. Im guessing it will be w/ PHJB if they do.

Thanks for the welcome, Easy!

I usually try to get to the "sweet" spot sound-wise, but it really depends on the crowd.  I like to have a little room to move around, so I'm usually out of the fray towards the back.

That weekend is going to be huge:  Saints home game against the Steelers Sunday night, Halloween Sunday night, and VooDoo Fest.  I'm still waiting on the MoMs shows details, but I think the band will be Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes.   ;)  Love, love, love this band.

I just have to figure out how I will make it to work on Monday.  ;D

MLBrady...looks the the daily tix are $60+fees = $73.40

The Voodoo block schedule is being released this Friday.

The festival ends at 9PM on Sunday night, so hopefully the boys will go on by 7 at the LATEST!!!

Can't freakin' wait  [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

(perhaps an after-festival show announcement will come out soon as well??? we can dream, can't we?)

I need to find out about any after shows cuz the schedule has the last shows from 7 to 9. And 9 is just too early to call it a night esp on hallows eve. I've also gotta find out what mmjs tour bus looks like so I can be a creeper and wait by it hehehe.

Haven't heard of any MMJ shows...Tips is booked with a solid show that starts at midnight -- the New Mastersounds.  If you want to dance all night, go to this show.

MoMs Ball is the 30th...Johnny Sketch then Papa Gros Funk.

There's a lot of stuff happening...I'll get serious about posting stuff after T5.   :)  

Galactic at Tips Friday night late show is a must if you like to Funk it up :D

Fucking FINALLY got hotel and tickets for this!   :D

Can't believe its this close... I'm so fn ready. This time next week I'll be in the nola baaabbyyy!!!

QuoteCan't believe its this close... I'm so fn ready. This time next week I'll be in the nola baaabbyyy!!!

Same here dude!  We won't be in NOLA til early Sat morning tho but oh well!  

Ah, I see you're a fellow Okie.  Which part of OK are you coming from?

Glad to see more people from the forum are getting tickets. Is anyone planning on staking out a spot up front as soon as the gates open?

This is my first voodoo, so I don't know how things usually fill up.
I definitely want to see some other bands throughout the day (especially PHJB since Jim might make an appearance), but to not be on the front row would be tragic for me!

If anybody's interested in fencing off a forum base camp on the rail of the Voodoo stage, I'll bring some barbed wire to contribute.

Where has the time gone?!  

I'm not sure how many are coming in -- but feel free to PM me here or post if you need something or have questions.  I am working on Friday, but hope to scoot out at lunch time to head to the festival.  Should be there all day Saturday and Sunday.  Gonna try to head to the park this week to see how things are shaping up...

I realize any answer to this question would be pure speculation, but is there any likelihood of the boys playing an after show following Voodoo?

It all ends at 9 on Sunday, so it shouldn't be past their bedtime....then again after T5 and Louisville exhaustion probably isn't the half of it.

I've been checking the mahalia jackson theatre every day and there's still nothing for the 31st, but it would be very short notice if they announced one now.

I'm from durant, aka dead rat. Southeastern part of ok. I've been looking forward to the voodoo fest since June!!! I hope the boys play longer than 2 hours... an aftershow would be nice. Also a cover of ccr's "I put a spell on you" would almost be a given since it will be in bayou country hehehe!!! ::)

Well, at this point I doubt anything official will be announced.  They may go out after their show (I met Patrick at Johnny White's after the Pres. hall Jazz Fest show), but I don't think there will be an MMJ show directly after their set at VooDoo.

Forecast:

Friday October 29th      Sunrise 7:12am      Sunset 6:15pm

Mostly clear
Low      62°F            
High      74°F            


Saturday October 30th      Sunrise 7:13am      Sunset 6:14pm

Mostly clear
Low      59°F            
High      75°F            


Sunday October 31st      Sunrise 7:14am      Sunset 6:14pm

Partly cloudy
Low      65°F            
High      78°F

Also, Morning 40 Federation are back together for a mid-night show at DBA on Sunday post-fest.  If I didn't have to work on Monday, this is where I'd be...I think.  ;)

Forecast revision..it's been muggy and hot here all week.  It's gonna rain cats and dogs today giving way to beautiful sunny clear skies through the weekend.  It will be a little cooler than my first post, so you may want a sweater or something.  I'm not sure how much rain we'll get or how muddy the festival area might be after today's rain.  I'll post more weather (how exciting!) if things change drastically.

Friday October 29 Clear

I forgot about the time change  :D What a pleasant surprise...

I was kinda hoping the whole set would be played in the dark, and it appears now it will (after all, it wouldn't be the same if they played The Dark in the light)!

Excellent.

OK...did a quick check, I think it's actually the following weekend that the time changes this year.

According to this site, http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b2.html, we don't change until the 7th.

Oh well...that still puts the sunset at around 6:15, yes? Maybe we'll get an orange and purple sky for the first song...that I would not mind.

Have any other threads discussed solar/weather patterns this much?!  ;D

I can't wait for tonight. Weezer and Muse were awesome on Friday. Florence+the Machine, Drake and Ozzy were off the chain last night. I just can't wait for the boys to close out the voodoo tonight. Man o man its gonna be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :D ;D :-? 8-) ::)

My friend is down in NOLA this weekend and I got a text from her a few days ago saying:  "How the hell is MMJ headlining over Ozzy?  Ozzy IS Halloween.  MMJ isn't even good."

I was ready to throw my phone out the window, but I calmly told her that MMJ is the best band touring right now and Ozzy hasn't been significant for about 15-20 years.

Fuck, I wish I was in NOLA tonight.  Ungrateful girl will probably whine about the people "hippie dancing" and leave after two songs.  I'd be there ripping the ole peace pipe and grooving with the best band of the last decade.

"one more holiday"?

does anyone have a setlist for last night?  one that might include this one more holiday song?  id be curious to hear that one.

ummmm  from this same article:

"Earlier, James announced that the Voodoo date would be his band's final show [highlight]for some time[/highlight]. If so, they went out with a bang. A no-holds-barred "One More Holiday" served as a classic big finish for My Morning Jacket, and Voodoo 2010. "


what does some time mean?  :-[ this article is killing me on a few levels - first the comparison to KOL, then the quote above, then the incorrect title of the song.  I feel I am in the twilight zone.

I know. You guys live close enough I could get a fix anytime I want. :)

I'm not positive but I believe their sound board guy (or someone else?) said they are planning a 2011 summer tour. That is a while but not too long.

Unless I was blacked out I think they cut Move on Up and Dancefloors from the set, sadly. they were pressed for time and moved to One Big Holiday. Needless to say the show was amazing.

Pretty good review of the whole festival. I'm glad I got to experience everything mentioned in the article then some! Can't believe the boys covered "Black Sabbath" especially with Preservation Hall!!!! Does anyone know if this is the first cover they've done of black Sabbath???

Here's a good photo synopsis of VOODOO. It has some awesome pictures of whatever that band's name is who closed out the festival  ;)

http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2010/11/voodoo_experien.html

Ummmm...some amazing soul video-taped every song from the voodoo set and they're popping up on youtube one by one.

the sound is okay, but what an amazing accomplishment. I don't have time to do it now, but maybe a thread should be started with each video in order! SIIICK!  :D

Some nice pics/footage of Jim sitting in with Preservation Hall up on Brooklyn Vegan:

Aw, those glasses.

I know, right?  

QuoteI know, right?  

I believe that reflects "super moody, ultra-sensitive boyfriend mode".

;D

I love that they're not even ultra-hipster/fashiony glasses...it's like the same glasses he's had since 1998 or something.

Adorable.

So true Ky....sad about the bass player.

ER - I haven't downloaded any audio or video...just the preview from LiveSet. I was front row for this, and although I haven't attended many MMJ shows, I knew this was a special one as I was watching. Hopefully the guys will release the rest...unbelievable footage

I was probably right behind you then! It was really an incredible show, the energy was unreal. And this footage excites me because it seems like it offers some really unique perspectives (behind the stage, as they walk up the steps, etc.)

If you want to, post some love and testimony in the thread I just started campaigning for the boys to let Live Set release the stream. Thanks again!

really awesome footage, but the audio in that really bothered me. I guess their audio sucked or they wouldn't have to use the studio versions.


the opening scene with them walking out is epic, though.

Either that or the band has rights to the sound and LiveSet they can't release any sbd stream without consent.

I'd say- amazing footage.   Such a cool perspective.

looks like i misunderstood their email  >:( they don't have the whole show after all...only portions.....ugh.

Oh well, at least these video clips exist from that night! Sry for any misinformed excitement fueling.

Raging-mega-huge bummer Live Set only got pieces, but happy to provide a walk down memory lane. Once again, great show. Hopefully they swing down south and blow our minds to bits sometime this fall. In the meantime, I'll enjoy that piece.

I agree, that's the only thing that I didn't like about the video. I do remember, and anyone standing close should also, the bass was dialed up big-time that night. Didn't bother me all that much, but may not have made for the best audio.
