Looks like only GA is the lawn.

Kind of reminds me of the St. Auggie Amp a little bit. They pull the front Orch seats sometimes to create a standing GA Pit, and will be doing so for MMJ in August. I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same at this Amp.

Let's hope so. Although seats do make for an easier pre-show. I'll have to work that day bc I'm taking off the next day for the Fox shows.

I'm with you there on the seats/pre show deal.  :thumbsup:

I'll take a small seated pit every time, but we do what we gotta do for that prime Rail Estate of a GA Pit.  :wink:  :beer:

Not at all the shows. Somewhere under the news tab there is an announcement about which shows have sound check parties.

I am going to this place Labor Day weekend for 2 nights of Widespread Panic. For those shows it's a GA Pit, then assigned seats and then a GA Lawn. Happy to have gotten seats both nights. Place looks awesome, very excited to check it out.

I failed the Roll Call site (again).  I kept refreshing for a couple of minutes before I realized I needed to scroll down to select tickets, then promptly selected 1 when I needed 2 and had to start over.  :cheesy:

Really cool seeing you too rjlemons! I'll be sitting with my younger brother on Row B in Nashville (I think seats 7 & 8). It looks like my cousin and his 20 year old son will be 3 rows back from us (using my extra pair in Row E).

I'll be going to Forecastle alone this year (like I did in 2012). I can't decide if I want to park myself in front of the soundboard (more likely than not) or tough out another 7 hour day on the rail (like I did for Jim in 2013 after the storm threat went away). Anyway, hope to see you there.

Can't wait!  Hope they offer sound check down the road.  4 seats on row A in section 103 is not too bad as it provides a unimpeded line of sight.  Would love to be closer but still, can't complain.

Long time lurker and Roll Caller, figured it was about time to get on the forums here :)

I'll see yall there!! Super pumped to finally see them in my hometown (besides Americanarama) and I finally lucked out and got a front row ticket from the presale!!! I may have a single seat up for grabs too if anyone here would be interested, Orch 1, row E seat 3. Gone to Fully

I am also doing the 2 nights in ATL and then Birmingham so I have a nice little run of 4 shows in 5 days :)

Really wish I could go to this one. Ill be in Atl for the Saturday show, but this one almost set up perfect for me. My sister lives in Nashville and MMJ & Moon Taxi are 2 of my absolute favorites. By the end of the summer I'll have seen MMJ 8 times and Moon Taxi 12 times. If youre going make sure to show Moon Taxi some love. Theyre gunna bring it in their hometown.

Why are there three different "official" start times for this show? On MMJ's site, it says 5:30. Over at Ticketmaster, it says 7:00. On the Ascend Amphitheater site, it says 8:00...

Live Nation can suck it.  For real.  While I was waiting in a queue for 15 minutes to get a $76 seat halfway back they showed me a box on the same page with 15 resale tickets ranging from $100-$125, all orchestra or decent 100 section seats.  So fuck it, I'll just see my 30th show from the grass.  Never sat that far away at an MMJ show.  If anyone has an extra near the front for face value hit me up.  MMJ needs me to be closer  :grin:

Also, I need a whiny baby emoticon.

I am sure I have seen some of yall at other shows and Roll Call events & soundchecks (Jim @ The Basement, Headliners a few months ago, and that amazing soundcheck under the bridge at Forecastle) but looking forward to a more formal introduction :)

I know a few folks are doing ATL too, anyone else doing ATL and Birmingham? I would be interested in a carpool and maybe a hotel split. I would likely be headed back to Nashville Monday night after the B'Ham show.

This exact same thing happened to me! I made sure to log in with plenty of time before the general sale started. Within seconds, I had chosen 2 tickets and was told to wait for 4 minutes. That 4 minutes turned into 15 minutes. During the 15 minute wait, I opened a different browser and went through the same wait time drill. After the wait was over (and the time kept changing on me the entire time), I was offered tickets in the center section behind the Orchestra, but they were all the way back in the J row. The second attempt got me roughly the same tickets only a few rows further back. It's tripped out that while we are being forced to wait, other scalper sites are being shown the front of the line (behind the scenes), so they can snag up all the quality seats and begin charging the sucker/captive buyers as much as they think they can get away with. Hell, I even saw some lawn seats (that are not sold out) being sold for more than $60 something. They are still on sale for $30 something. Unreal!!! I hate scalpers, especially the "legal" ones!!!

Depends how much you want to spend and how close you want to be.  If you want to be within walking distance, I see three 'reputable' hotels within 5-6 blocks of the venue for under $150 on Thursday, August 6th.   The cheapest is the DoubleTree by Hilton for $123.  Other decent options are the Holiday Inn Express ($136) and the Courtyard ($149).  There are obviously cheaper options out there but not within walking distance really.

To anyone that bought a "reserved seat"..... I may be wrong about this but it's looking like your "reserved seat" (sections 101-103) may or may not even include an actual seat.   Possibly a folding chair?  Curious what other people think about this setup at the new venue......

Here's a great article from The Tennessean:  http://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2015/07/14/nashville-offers-first-look-ascend-amphitheater/30164769/

2200 removable chairs in reserved, lawn capacity is 4500

I think the reason for the removable chairs is that the amphitheater will be free and open as a park when no concerts are scheduled, which is great.

I know there is another area on here for advertising extra tickets for sale, but I thought I'd start here and post in that section later.

I have 2 extra tickets for the show two weeks from tonight at the brand new Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville, Tennessee (Thursday, August 6, 2015). They are pretty good seats (Orch 3, Row E, Seats 8 & 9 - Jim's side). From looking at the map, these seats should be 5th row. (My brother and I will be on Row B - 2nd row.)

(I have offered them to someone else here on the Forum who originally reached out to me with a PM asking if I had extra tickets but has since purchased scalper tickets. If he wants them, I'll have to sell them to him. However, he hasn't responded to my newest PM yet, so I'll give him until about this time tomorrow.)

These Roll Call pre-ordered tickets cost me $139.48. I got the actual tickets in the mail Saturday. My brother and I will be attending the show, so I can hand them over to whoever gets them in person down in Nashville.

If you are interested, please send me a PM as soon as you can. If the other Forum member doesn't respond to my PM before this time tomorrow, I'll sell them to whoever responds to this post first.

Thanks, all you MMJ concert addicts!

Mr. White - give me a day or two to find out, if possible. 

That day is my B-day, I have never been to Nashville, and the show in Artpark has only left me wanting more MMJ! 

I just texted a good friend to see if he wants to take a road trip so hopefully he will get back to me real soon.

Well consigliare...I think I have one spoken for already. Someone from Memphis sent me a message that she would probably take one for herself. I still have the other one left though. (This just happened in the last couple of hours.) It would be cool if you still wanted to buy the other one, but I don't know how far you would have to travel alone for this show and if it would be worth the trip for you. If the weather is good, it should be an amazing show...brand new Amphitheater, real close to the stage, Carl's home and Tom's new home city... Just let me know if you still want it, and I'll save it for you.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I'll go ahead and send a PM to the lady in Memphis letting her know that the extra ticket can go to her friend (if she actually wants to go).

Hey fellow MMJ fanatics,

So my buddy backed out on me and now I have two tickets in section 103 row M that I need to sell.  I'm asking for $90 for the pair (versus tickets were $60 a piece).  Any one that may be interested please let me know before I post to stub hub as I'd rather them find a good home.

Shoot me a message or respond and we can go from there.

Thanks!

-Derek

Does anyone know what time are gates opening and what time Moon Taxi and MMJ will each go on? MMJ website says 5:30 which seems way too early and Moon Taxis website says 7:00

Somebody requested Outta My System for this show. Surely they can't be serious. If they actually play that as one of the few Spontaneous Curation requests, I'm gonna find that guy and....

I had asked this to Wonderful Union, and they responded with an e-mail a month or two ago. I can't find it, but I seem to remember it saying the gates would open at 5:30, the opening act would go on at 7:00, and MMJ would take the stage around 8:45...I think.

@ Mike D.  It's hit and miss.  There is not usually an MMJ Shakedown Street / Lot if that's what you're asking. That said, I'm making pretty much the same run that you are (even considering a last minute trip to Nashville).  We should try to get a spot for everyone to meet in ATL and BHam for sure. 

-ATL... More TBA.  Lots of bars near the venue.  Georgian Terrance might be a little too fancy but literally across the street and where I usually hang out.  The Fox has a pretty good parking lot that you can tailgate at IIRC.  I'll ask around and get back to you on what specifically the ATL folks like to do

- BHAM... the entire Uptown area (next to venue) is pretty cool nowadays.  Southern Kitchen and Todd English both work.  Several areas near BJCC where you can tailgate too.

I have an extra ticket to this show tomorrow in Nashville for sale.

It is in Orchestra 2, ROW B (yes...second row) and I am asking $70, which is face value after fees.

Reply or shoot me a message if you are interested and we can meet before the show.  I will be rolling into town around 4:00 and am down for some pregaming action with any of you fine folks.  Next up...Atlanta x2 and Birmingham!

Aww yisss.  It's almost here.  I won't make it to any more shows this year, it appears, but this will be my 5th show of The Waterfall tour and my 30th MMJ show.  I'm excited to help break in that new amphitheater.

Post by: DaFunkyPrecedent on Aug 05, 2015, 06:50 PM
Went to Phish last night, went to Eric Church last Thursday and will be going to Jill Scott tonight...Let me just say, this venue is fucking perfect.  Good job who ever built designed thing. There's really not a bad seat in the house. If you're on the lawn, you're fine.  You can throw a stone to the stage.

Sound wise, it sounded good even from the lawn, but sounded great in the seats.

If you're curious about if there will be actual seats, yes there will be. There was a GA pit at Phish, but don't think this will be the case for MMJ. Could be wrong.

Unfortunately, we'll likely have to hear Big Decisions tomorrow because the local radio station Lightning 100 who's promoting it, plays that dumb song on the reg.

Oh well...

If you're looking for a good spot to chill before, go to ACME and head to the rooftop.  Great view of downtown and the river. Food is ok too. There's not a lot of great spots downtown that aren't complete tourist traps, but ACME is pretty cool.

See ya'll there.

Also went to Phish last night.  They really threw down the gauntlet.   I can't say enough good things about the new venue.  It is something that Nashville can really be proud of and is something that is LONG overdue.   I think the 6,500 capacity is the perfect size.  Big enough to pull in the big names but quaint enough at the same time.   Plus none of the parking & traffic issues that burdened the old Starwood amphitheater for so many years.  I was in the lawn last night and it sounded great.  Looking forward to moving up to the 2nd row for the show tomorrow!

Go early and give yourself enough time to do a thorough tour of the amphitheater and surrounding green spaces.  There is a massive LED light sculpture, a small dog park, a paved greenway overlooking the Cumberland river, a playground, and plenty of green lawn space and swings/seating scattered about.   The bathrooms are quite nice & there is not a porta potty to be found anywhere.  Prices are expensive for food and beverage, but that is to be expected.  $11.50 for a 24 ounce can of Yuengling.  Local favorites Hattie B's hot chicken & Martin's BBQ are a couple of nice options if you are looking to get your grub on.   The only thing that I was disappointed in was the lack of video screens flanking the stage, but I would bet that is gonna happen in the near future. 

Looks like the weather report is turning in favor of MMJ more and more.   It appears most of the rain & storms will be tapering off as the sun is setting.   Last night's show was hot and sweaty and the crowd was begging for a little rain to fall.   I am seeing a forecast for 78 degrees at 7:00 PM tomorrow.  Not too bad at all. 

It's gonna be a real hoot.  See ya'll there!

The automated text from the venue said this.

Doors: 5:30pm
Moon taxi: 7-8pm
MMJ: 8:30-11pm

Althought they said Phish would come on at 7pm and it was closer to 7:30pm.

Nice setlist! But then again, they've all been pretty spectacular. I've wished for a OBH opener in the past...  WOW... That must have kicked things off in high gear.

I am a little sad to see Dancefloors and Run Thru played though, was hoping for them to show up at the Fox tonight. But what can I say, they always amaze me.

What an amazing show!!  I've seen them a lot of times but the energy level and the set was just unreal.  I usually am one to sort of complain when we don't hear several b-sides or rarities but man, last night was spectacular.  The new amphitheater was an awesome setting for MMJ to utterly rock out.  Crowd was really good too.  Everyone was really into it.  Love that show and can't wait to see them at the Fox tomorrow night!!

that could have been my 30th show...I don't know, need to count them, but it was hands down one of the best shows I've seen them play.

Wordless into Spring was amazing. Great 1,2 punch. 

And Steam Engine into Golden was so fucking perfect...I haven't heard Golden in a hot minute, man I forget how much I like that song.   

How bout that lil funk jam before Off The Record?

Wish they would have done 1 or 2 more "folky" songs - Sec Walking or At Dawn or B. Highway or NASHVILLE TO KENTUCK...hello?!, but can't complain too much about last night.  Just a fuckin great rock n roll show.

Post by: jttouch2 on Mar 08, 2020, 10:51 PM
This show was the show that made me "get it." I had seen the boys a bit at Bonnaroo a couple months before and had bought tickets to the show to get really into them between then, and obviously the bug hit kinda hard. The show was the night before the first day of my junior year of high school, and me + 2 band buddies skipped the orientation to see the show, and needless to say-it was FANTASTIC. Ridiculous setlist and ridiculous energy. It really set the tone for what the rest of the year should've been.

 It was a pretty good school year for a while, til March 8, 2016-four years ago today. We came to school and were told that one of those band buddies had died sometime in the night, for unexplained reasons. We'd played in wind band next to each other since 6th grade (he'd played euphonium, I the tuba), and had been doing some jazz combo stuff off to the side with a couple other friends. He was an incredibly kind human being to everyone around him, and was just somebody I thought would always be there next to me.
 His existence (and sudden early passing) has always been tied together with MMJ for me, since we both experienced that awakening together. While obviously the music is incredible and the men are still incredible, the memories I have of the band and my friend together are a big part of the reason they are so close to my heart-and because Jim has written several songs that do a beautiful job of commemorating a lost loved one.
 Today is always a pretty tough day because of the implications, but I always listen to this show tape on this anniversary to remember some of those great times with him, and I figured it was a story worth sharing with the group.
