Assuming this happens again and they use the same format/schedule
Headliner: MMJ (duh!)
2nd Headliner: Alabama Shakes
Opening band: White Denim
Late Night DJ: Jonathan Toubin
Thoughts?
Shakes and Denim would be cool. Couldn't care less about any DJ, anywhere, or anytime.
I'd like to add Jason Isbell to the mix. And I could do without the late night DJ in general, but I know a lot of people enjoyed it. After a couple nights, I was content to find a quiet bar and drink and discuss what we just experienced.
J. Roddy Walston and The Business share the ATO label with MMJ and would be great on an off night. Lucius is known to Tommy and his wife. They'd be a fun opener.

Wilco
J. Roddy would be fun, Yac.
My list:
Dr. Dog
The Roots
Or just make it a JJ festival and bring:
The Monsters of Folk, New Multitudes, and JJ band members. :cheesy:

Wilco
would be absolutely amazing, but Tweedy's to full of himself to be second bill to anyone (other than Bob Dylan of course).
Now that I reread the title of this thread, I would go with Wilco too. Plus the rest of the JJ bands, then Jay and Jeff can perform together onstage again. I don't see it happening but since we're dreaming, why not?
I'd go with
Opening night - Press Hall
Second night opener - J Roddy Walston
Third night Dr Dog ---> Wilco
3rd night opener Future Birds
Wilco is not realistic, so I'd go with this:
Dr. Dog - Night 1 Opener
M. Ward - Night 2 Opener
Carl Broemel - Night 3 Opener / Monsters of Folk - Night 3 Closer
Bright Eyes - Night 4 Opener
This would make Jim and Carl play all 4 days, so it is also unlikely, but oh well! Also, if Monsters of Folk closed, they might need to play some covers, given all of the members would be playing separately too.
MMJ
MMJ
Spanish Gold, Carl Broemel, Monsters of Folk OR JJ solo
MMJ
Let me edit my list. I think MMJ should be the only band on the last night, to increase set list length. Also, good idea Ditty on adding Spanish Gold. That would work great on the third night.
M. Ward - MMJ
Bright Eyes - MMJ
Spanish Gold - Carl Broemel - Monsters of Folk
MMJ
Here is my alternative list:
J Roddy - MMJ
Dr. Dog - MMJ
Spanish Gold - Carl Broemel - Jim James
MMJ
let's broaden our horizons, shall we?
This is a tricky exercise, inasmuch as an undercard needs to be just that. While I'd love the Black Crowes, I don't think they would take an undercard position.
I'd love for more hold-over Bobby if Further does another Paradise Waits and the dates line up. That shit was special (and the main reason why I'm so anxious for download codes).
I assume PHJB has a standing invite to accompany MMJ on this forever - and I'd love to see them again - esp. if Jim freaks the fuck out and kills another appearance with them. I haven't seen video yet, but he nearly knocked over the old dude with a mic stand.
Here's a somewhat educated and wishful guess: Tedeschi Trucks Band. They rock and have horns that rival or beat Antiballas. AND Derek won't be tied up with Allman's touring next year, AND they'd take an undercard (as with Black Crowes last year). AND they'd blend well with MMJ both musically and socially.
They would do VERY well to also add Gary Clark Jr. and/or Hardworking Americans for more filler. I think there should have been more daytime sets. just sayin.
Here, here on the TTB and Hard Working Americans. Have to whole-heartedly agree with both of those choices. So excited for TTB this summer at red rocks. Plus I'm pretty sure they're going to open for Panic in Chicago this summer so considering a flight up there.
I may be in the minority here, but for the 'night off,' instead of a dance party i think it would be really cool if they did something like the rock and soul superjam that Jim did at Bonnaroo. They could invite opener bands for nights 1 and 2 (and even 4) that would fit the super jam. This would bring the artists even closer together, challenge them to collaborate on short notice, and serve as 'one big' celebration of both the vibe and the creative energy of the event as well as a prelude to the final, earth shattering MMJ performance of the event the next night.
Of course, I'd also love it if Bobby were to come back again, provided they changed up some of the songs they played.
Dr. Dog is a no-brainer. Make it happen Yim.

I agree I'd love to see more daytime music options. there's only so much drinking in the sun that can be done...
Opening night - Antibalas
Second night opener - Gary Clark Jr.
Third night Dirty Projectors ---> Alt J
3rd night opener Dr. Dog
Why not just have JRoddy, Futurebirds, and PHJB open. You know Preservation Hall is going to be there and who doesn't love them? If they can't make it, bring Trombone Shorty's ass out there.
Why not have the MMJ play all four nights if Jim's voice can make it last any longer that it has to.
Opening night - J Roddy Walston & the Business, MMJ
Second Night - Pres Hall (should always be Pres Hall), MMJ
Third Night - Tame Impala, Dawes
Last night - Futurebirds, MMJ
with Girl Talk doing a late night DJ set on 2nd or 3rd night

love this Erica!
Here's another idea taking from some previous posts:
PHJB to sit in with MMJ every night and play a couple day time sets here and there
Night 1: Gary Clark jr. > MMJ
Night 2: Youth Lagoon > MMJ
Night 3: Jim Acoustic > Tame Impala
Night 4: Dr. Dog > MMJ
The thing about Tame Impala is that they really shouldn't be opening for anyone anymore. They have already cultivated the kind of power that is best served to finish off the night. I'm not saying they have a ton of star power or anything i just think it would be a strange experience. Although, if any band can follow them up it's MMJ, obviously.
The dream line up on this forum should consist of MMJ all four nights. But if not I think Wilco would be best on their off night. My dream/realistic situation would be Mayan Holidaze situation but with MMJ and Wilco some how working out 5 nights of awesomeness. 2 nights of jacket 2 nights of wilco, and a night of a Solid Sound style all requests collab between the two balls to the walls style

Face melting just thinking of this.
I know people on the board said something about Wilco being "too big" to share a bill with Jacket or even be their off night band. I really don't agree with that statement.
I think Tweedy can be a dick, but he does respect Jacket and Jim respects his stuff enough that they'd have fun collaborating (and they already have). I think Flaming Lips is bigger than Wilco, and they shared a bill at OBH. Granted, all Wayne Coyne wants in life is for people to cheer... "Come on.. Come on!!"
I have to respectfully disagree with your statement that the Flips are bigger than Wilco. Keep in mind I have no real data to back this up which, I believe, makes this a real internet debate. Call it a hunch I guess. I just feel like Wilco has a larger fanbase.
I'm a little more on the proggy side. Flaming Lips people might like....
Gotye
Sound of Contact (one of the best debut albums that I ever heard came from them last year).
How about something bluesy/Led Zeppelinish like.....Steepwater Band.
Definitely more PHJB.
I wouldn't mind some Tedeschi Trucks Band too.
Would love to see more Bob Weir. He was awesome.
All 4 nights of MMJ. :thumbsup:
Oh! And I really did like El Bronx Mariachi. Even the locals were diggin' them.

A more loyal and diehard fan base, no doubt. When it comes down to the number of tickets these dudes can sell on any given night, I'd call it close.

Love this! I have to confess I kind of liked getting my late night groove on and Alt J would be really fun for that!

I gotta agree with Angelo on this one. Again, no real data to back it up, but I'd say Wilco is a much, much bigger band than the Lips, but I guess it depends on how you define 'bigger'. IMO (I'm sure I'll get grief for this statement) the Lips are just a big stage performance...I've seen them once and have no real need to ever see them again. Lots of visuals and eye candy, but I prefer a band where the music speaks for itself. Wilco's music is transcendent.
I still don't see Tweedy/Wilco playing second fiddle to MMJ at something like OBH, but if they did something like e_wind was suggesting, where they somewhat split the bill, I think that would make for an amazing experience.

I think you're right, wf, no way Tweedy would go for opening for MMJ, but the split bill could work, and would be AWESOME.
I should think a festival swap would work. Wilco does the "off" night of OBH '15 and MMJ does Solid Sound '15. Problem solved.

Shut down the thread. Yac is the Problem Solver.
Crispy - if we went with FB likes MMJ would be opening for Flaming Lips. They have just over 400k.
Trampled by Turtles- TBT have opened for MMJ before and joined MMJ on stage in Mpls at Americanarama.
Decemberists or Colin Meloy- Jim sang on The Decemberists Hazards of Love CD so they owe him.
J Roddy Walston and the Business- They share the ATO record label with MMJ.

Honestly, if we're talkin realistic, Dr Dog and WOD are both on my "dream" lineup. Take BoH and Dawes off, replace them with some else I love like Isbell, Truckers, Wilco, Lucero and this year would be my dream. I definitely cannot complain about my favorite (dr d) and my favorite record of 2014 (WOD). I think we should be thrilled this year. As much as this hurts to say, I'll take boh over flaming lips since the flips are doing this weird show they do these days.
Yep, absolutely thrilled that Dr. Dog is going to be there. It'd be even better if they were headlining Jacket's off night. I'm with you Eric, I'd rather BoH over Flips. I never thought I would say that but I was really disappointed with their set at OBH. Some people said Wilco would be there (Ghosts) and I told those people they were nuts :tongue: That's a straight-up pipe dream. WoD is great news though.
Not quite ready to add my name to that RC list but it feels like it is an inevitability.

I'm SOOO happy jeff tweedy isn't going. Rather see Sinbad open than him :)
P.S. Dr. Dog is killer live, you won't be disappointed. Lyrically, musically a much more talented, underrated, and more fun band. I'm stoked for the uninitiated to see them.
P.P.S only thing that would be better are the Fruit Bats...but "alas poor Yorick I knew them well" (Forecastle 2012, me, some fellow roll callers, bout 30 ppl total plus MMJ(entire band, side stage) watched them kill it! Such a good band!!!
E.D.J.(Eric D. Johnson)=Fruit bats, would be pretty sweet too :thumbsup:
P.P.P.S. tweedy was full of himself LONG before Dylan...
But we all know the lineup and it's all about MMJ!!!, The rest is just gravy!
Again Just one guys opinion...
Dr. Dog should get the second billing and then the WOD...PHJB has to be there to help with the horns so that always will make sense, plus it just doesn't seem right without them at this point after they've been a part of every major gig they've done since 2010 or before (sans T5)...I've seen the flaming lips about 6 -7 times and wilco 10+, to me there is absolutely 100% no comparison and Wilco would blow them out of the water every time...I honestly think all 6-7 flaming lips shows were exactly the same except for the one at OBH...the first couple were fun but after that it just got old and now Wayne just annoys the hell out of me on stage. I'm not as much of a Dawes hater as most around here so I'm definitely ok with them and can see them fitting...just wish Dr. Dog was headlining the off night...they put on one of the best live shows I've ever seen...I've seen the Dog about 8 times and have never seen the same show...amazing how some bands like to progress rather than get in their comfort zone and play the same set night in and night out...not gonna waste my breath worrying about BOH...I really liked them right when they came out and saw them open for MMJ at least 4-5 times and by themselves a few times so by now it's gotten a little old but I mean I really can't complain, it's gonna be an awesome time, regardless
It's probably pretty much a dream lineup for the band (not counting older artists who they may consider their heroes) as it seems like it's all their friends.
Anything beyond MMJ is an added bonus. War on Drugs is a huge plus! Last year the other bands weren't announced until many months after the event went on sale.
The War On Drugs is supposed to perform on Letterman tonight (7/7/2014).

War on Drugs were awesome as usual.
DVR is set for Sylvan Esso. Thanks.

I think Patrick has to play with them at OBH
Underwhelming performance last night. Patrick would be a nice add, as the other guy is pretty busy with his knobs. Not my thing, but I'm sure I can find a way to occupy myself during their set.

The girl seemed nervous I think. I could sense it in her vocals a bit. I like the song though.
