Title: [RUMOR] These are the last 3 shows that My Morning Jacket will ever play
Post by: superfrodies on Dec 05, 2018, 12:49 PM
So, right upfront here I'm stating this is a RUMOR. It's 100% "a friend of a friend" type of deal. I have not talked to the band. I'm not personally an insider. So fair warning.

My friend, who lives in Louisville, has heard that these are their final three shows. His coworker, who he says is actually connected with some of the Jackets, told him that these upcoming 3 shows in 2019 are the last three shows they are contractually obligated to play and then "that's it."

This would actually make a lot of sense, as those venues book out at least two years in advance, so they've probably had these three shows on the books for quite a while and are contractually obligated to play them or else probably face a monetary penalty of some sort. Also, announcing 3 random shows is very suspect/odd. Also, also...it's just been super quiet on the MMJ front. Jim consistently denies that there is a Waterfall Pt. 2 coming out anymore. He's made it abundantly clear that he is fine doing his own solo thing and has booked a lot of shows by himself for 2019. There's no OBH next year. MMJ is not a priority for Jim, it seems, and so as much as it pains me to say it, perhaps these last three shows really are the last three shows.

Regardless, I'll see you fools at Red Rocks for two amazing nights. I pray they are not our last, but if it has to be so, there's no other place I'd rather be for my final MMJ shows than Red Rocks.

Seriously doubt this, because if they knew and could plan for 3 final shows I feel a lot more planning, advertising etc would be put into 3 final shows by a band that has the following they do.  Until it comes from the band I wouldn't believe or spread it.

I don't know anything at all but it would be their style to just go to the places they liked the most and be done with it without fanfare. No farewell tour sort of thing. I hope I'm wrong!

I agree that I'd expect it to be publicly announced so as to drive ticket sales, but from their perspective they can probably push sales pretty good just by coming off hiatus at the beginning, then say "final 3 shows" in like May and push them again. If it turned out that this was the end, I'm gonna have to make it to all 3 somehow.

Interesting to keep tabs on, I never bought the breakup rumors during the hiatus stuff but this does make a little more sense as time passes

unfortunate news if it's true.
That said Forest Hills as their last show? I'd highly doubt it. I'd think they go home for it.

I heard the exact same RUMOR this week as well from a buddy in Louisville, who knowing this town, runs in the same circle as your source. This would be incredibly sad and make for a bittersweet trip to CO.

i concur

but I can see some how these shows would be part of a contract b/c they are pretty random and it's an extremely low amount of shows considering the overhead of the crew, the gear, the travel, etc.

they may not be ready to get back together as soon as we'd all like and just want to knock out the obligations so they can come together when the time is right.

i'll also add, Jim is in LA, Tommy/Carl are in Nashville and Bo seems to be based in LA...Patrick is only one really still kicking it in Louisville so rumors coming from there don't have the same weight as they might have in previous years (at least to me)

His coworker is friends with Patrick's family, I've since learned, so that's where the rumor was coming from.

Well they may have had them booked before they decided to go on hiatus, figuring they will fill in the rest of the summer with other shows. then as the hiatus drew on they've since decided not to book a full tour and just make these shows their final shows. OR, more likely, they'll announce a final run of shows back in Louisville after these shows have sold out.

Sad news indeed if this is true but I have my doubts for many of the reasons stated above.  I prefer to think about it this way...

If you are in a band who's contract is up for renewal wouldn't it be in your best interest from a negotiating standpoint to take the approach they are taking?  Wouldn't that give them the best possible position from which to negotiate a new deal?

I don't buy it. Not saying I'd be shocked but they're basically broken up now as far as new music and touring so why actually make it final? If it is true I doubt it lasts more than 2 or 3 years anyway. Glad I'm going to Forest Hills though.

I think it's just as reasonable that these shows were previously booked, and they decided to take more time off- I don't think it's anything as serious, or final as the band breaking up. They all seem super involved in their own stuff right now- and that's okay, i'm actually loving all the solo music and small venue touring that's occurred in the last year!

As the band enter their 40's I want them to have an appropriate work/ life balance. haha- Can't wait to see them in Queens!

With all the rumors coming from people who claim connection to Patrick's family, could it (theoretically) be possible that Patrick just intends to leave the band?? They've obviously had lineup changes before (including at drummer) and Patrick does have a career path outside of music in the food industry that he could theoretically find more appealing and worthy of full-time commitment.

This is possibly the most logical. And would be extremely sad to see Patrick leave (because he is awesome)...
Dave Givan would most likely slide in (especially with how close he is with Jim).

This is all bla bla bullshit.
I'm pumped to see them in NY next summer.
I'll call it the "Friends Again" Tour (in hopes they fucking play that song!!!)

We were already on the fence about going to Forest Hills and all of this chit chat was enough to push me to grab tickets ASAP (which I did and scored two GA floor with the AMEX deal).  Even though I don't believe it's our last dance it sure does look like it will be for 2019 and that's enough for me.  See you in NYC!!!

Its what i think is happening.  That, or its total BS, they get back for a few weeks to practice for these gigs and maybe start the recording processes.   I know its not the band members, but the whole 24 hours to give fans a chance to figure out work and travel (for vips) felt strange.  8 months before show time.

NYE, if you all remember, was spoiled on here months before an official announcement, then they didn't announce it till a few month before the show, people thought it got cancelled.  That never felt right to me.

Guess time will tell, i do know i'm going to both RR shows regardless!!!!

I really hope this is a bad rumor.  All are great on their own - but they are the definition of a "better together" band.  They all complement each other so damn well musically, and seem to genuinely care for each other in the right ways (remember the "I love Carl" bit from OBH3?!?).   

I got my RR tickets, but may need to plan a credit card hit for tickets and travel to NY.

While it definitely seems odd (if true) I would say that I've had people tell me they were doing their final shows/breaking up since like Evil Urges days. I'll be disappointed if this ends up happening. Hiatus is fine. But complete break up or changing of the band members would be sad.

this is a band that can never die..
never will and never lie
down in the bottom with the rotting combi-corpse of The Band, R.E.M, The Stooges and Sonic Youth

we will be at Red Rocks
they will rock with their cocks
out and maybe Patrick can cook onstage
and Jim is so full of light
he made Michael Vick a My Morning Jacket fan
we may never know Bo's true height
but at least at the end of Dancefloors we see thefucker stand

and talk of Dave Givan taking Patrick's seat
makes me wanna throw up in disgust at this deceit
for none of us know the future and these circles in Louisville go round and round
people with knowledge of everything and nothing at the same time abound
we know this band could get sick of each other
but from what we know, they're blood brothers


i don't know this is all so intriguing. the band over?? it would feel like unfinished business..right? But isn't it always unfinished business?

this cannot be it.

I sincerely hope it isn't true. But OBH4's epic setlist makes even more sense if it is true. Playing every song from their albums in sequence is a fitting way to close out their OBH series.

Not doubting the source but could you provide a little more insight how someone not specifically connected w MMJ would know?

I have actually been a little depressed thinking about life without live MMJ.

Another thing to keep in mind is MMJ switched management about a year ago and no doubt they have been following a plan as part of that ever since.  The shows we have been enjoying ever since (NYE, OBH4, and the 2019 RR and FH) are seemingly the leftover commitments from past deals.  MMJ's communications have all been extremely clear and 100% accurate about future their touring plans since all of this has been put into motion.  Carl and Jim on the road solo and Bo with Roger is all well and good, but I think everyone here agrees that MMJ is more than the sum of its parts JJ+TB+PK+CB+BK.  I want more and I would be shocked if there's not more coming when the time is right.

The change of management explains of lot of these recent, strange feeling tours.  Thanks for that.  Also, if they have new management, that tells me they intend on staying around, who know in what capacity, but it makes me rule out a few year hiatus or breakup. 

I also don't get people wanting them to rush this next album.  If they felt they could produce something great, i think they would be doing it.  They had a long run of being together, separation is probably a great thing!

Patrick coming in might be the best addition of lineup made to the band IMO. Carl and Bo are absolutely huge but the drums from the first two albums compared to It Still Moves are just night and day for me.

I spoke to someone in the know today (not specifically with MMJ but with - and I use this term loosely- the jamband scene) and he said these are not the last shows. Was pretty adamant

Not doubting the source but could you provide a little more insight how someone not specifically connected w MMJ would know?

I have actually been a little depressed thinking about life without live MMJ.

Hey. Without giving away too much info someone who knows Jim from having been involved in MMJ and Jim solo concerts over the years. There is a degree of interpretation here. Also I should add that he would admit that he doesn't know for sure. On the other hand if this was a rumor in the industry (and not something localized to Louisville) he would surely know.

for some reason, when I consider the potential end of the band my first thought is.......no more One Big Holidays. :cry:

just get together in the caribbean once every couple of years. that would suffice for me.

I have posted here on this most awesome of all Forums about this before, but I guess it needs to be said again. This band will not be breaking up any time soon. Pretty much guaranteed.

I don't have any expertise in local matters (I'm sort of a loner), but I do go to a fair amount of shows and associate with and know some of the band's family members (only from meeting them at various musical events in and around Louisville, following them on some select Social Media platforms, and greeting them with either a hug or a smile and maybe some small-talk at shows when it seems appropriate). I am not saying anything I haven't said before, but here goes again.

Jim is based here in Louisville. Everyone keeps saying he's permanently moved out to Los Angeles and has removed himself from the scene. He is living there and is based out of L.A. for a big chunk of the year, but he also owns a home in Louisville. I've spoken with a woman who lives on the street where he was looking for a house two years ago, and she said it was an old house but pretty big (he decided not to get it because there would be too much work getting it live-in ready). One of the Forum members has moved here from California, and he told me Jim was going through a real estate guy he knows looking at a house worth more than a million dollars just a few months ago. This tells me he will never lose his hometown roots. His mother is here. His aunts and uncles are here (I know two of them), and he comes to town often for his various projects that are community improvement based and very labor intensive. Sure, none of this really matters as far as the band sticking together is concerned, but one of the comments made it sound like since they were all spread out and doing their own thing, this somehow meant they were losing the cohesiveness that is vital in keeping a band together.

The family members I know in passing and some I've only spoken with once or twice always show up at the various solo shows that are going on to show support for one another. This happened again at Carl's most recent stop here in Louisville on October 6th. Patrick was there. Aaron Hallahan (Patrick's brother - who I know a little) was there and so was his mother. Jim's aunt (who has a similar job as me and who I know the most of all the family members) was there too and rocking out right behind me on the rail for Carl's show. They were all at the Carl shows here back in 2016 and 2017 too. Sure, this means nothing ... other than the fact that the band is a FAMILY, and their own families know this and support each other.

Money is also a consideration (unfortunately). Carl's shows had a much worse fan showing than he did back on his other tours in 2016 and the shorter one in 2017. He's now opening for some select shows for Strand Of Oaks. Opening isn't where his career needs to be. Jim's own hometown homecoming end of tour show wasn't even sold out at the Louisville Palace (some other venues were, including the show I went to the night before at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, but lots of other shows didn't sell out. Patrick is having a good time playing with his friend from VHS or Beta (Craig Pfunder) in Jake Shears' band, but that tour is over. He's also doing other local band one-time collaborations, and that's always fun. Plus, he's got the food thing going on. However, none of that makes him the money he makes when MMJ tours. He's got a growing family to provide for. He's rooted here in Louisville for sure. Tom and Patrick have collaborated in musical projects recently (Mickey Raphael's Country Music Hall of Fame Induction). Tom and Carl live in Nashville with their wives but make a point of it to collaborate as much as possible. Tom played in Carl's band a number of times on his 2016-17 tour. Tom also makes his way up to Louisville from time to time. He was here last weekend for the Louisville Super Con thing (he posted some images on his Instagram account). Also, Nashville and Louisville are connected by I-65 and are only 3 hours away from each other. Getting back to the money thing, MMJ makes much, much more money when together than they do apart. That's just simple math.

They may have longer breaks and take time off between tours and albums, but the band will be together. I feel it in my bones.

I honestly think money will be a very big factor. As you mentioned Jim may own two homes. That gets expensive. And he will not make as much touring solo. This goes even more for the rest of the band who would have even smaller music careers making even less money.

Thanks Mr. White.  Good perspective.  It seems like they're all friends (I read that Jim showed up at Carl's LA show, Tom worked on Carl's album, the list goes on and on). 

The fact that they don't live in the same cities doesn't matter.  I know it's a different band, and I don't delve into boards to hear about any potential rifts, but as far as I know Tame Impala, who haven't put out an album in a while but have done the occasional show here and there the past two years, is still going strong while band members live on three different continent.

Tame Impala is kindof a bad example since creatively it's only one guy.

"ever" is the strong word here. Obviously they are performing together next year and I bet they are fielding offers for festivals, so that's all we truly have to go on for now.

if they don't book any other shows for 2019, let's hope they get in the studio together. For all I can tell, it's been since the Stinson Beach Waterfall sessions in 2014 since they made new music all together.

I am going to optimistically assume that a lack of live shows this year means more studio time/ creative process for new music- I am hoping that we see some new tunes revealed at the 3 shows of 2019 and the band has a new album- massive tour for 2020.

For whatever reason, the Waterfall Part 2 doesn't seem to be happening. I get the impression that the band might not be too hyped about the songs ( What I have heard is good, but they might not want it as an album release.)

It is very feasible however, that we can still get a live release from this band ( album/dvd??) before the year is up- supposedly they are in the " mixing" process of that effort.

Jim's creative muse is at a peak right now ( he has released 3 albums since Waterfall came out) If another Jim solo record comes out before new Jacket material, that spells trouble for me, that something in their process isn't clicking..

Jim's comments about the process of " Uniform Distortion" show that he might be a little fed up with how long the creative process takes with Jacket- Every studio release since Evil Urges has seemed like quite the process-

I think we will know a lot more about the state of the band by year's end- If these 3 shows go down without any word of a live album/ new material I think we have reason to be alarmed.

No tickets is really scaring the shit outta me.i can't believe there's a 99% chance I'll miss these shows all because they announced them at a time when we had just spent my check on Xmas and groceries, essentials etc. If I would've had ANY knowledge that this was coming I would've made the money for it. Now seeing that fans who had money still couldn't get tickets really sickens me. The band having to send us all a tweet to apologize for it happening just makes a deafening sound of doom...only the strong and in the know survive.  Basically unless you were able to be strapped to the computer for 10 hours on a business day, you were screwed out. Finding out im not the only one makes it worse. It's easy to be happy for others but when so many lost out to God knows who ... just scares me. I've been a fan since 2004 and I need to finally break my RR cherry and missing out like this is something that I can barely swallow. I have been smoking way too much weed lately just to boost my cheer. I mean Christ guys and gals my girlfriend had me watching Love Actually and How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days just to cheer me up (she knows I love laughing at shitty movies).

Lord I'm discouraged.
But when my check comes next Wednesday all will be well I hope , but aren't they ALL gone anyway?

Fuckin shit hahah

Btw the whole thing about economics is another reason they're bound together but because they're family. Family supports each other emotionally, financially, mentally and spiritually and this band is nothing different. The family ties are evident and while their differences may be more pronounced and the gap on stage between Jim and Carl may get bigger, they always meet in the middle to duke it out during the apex of the music they make.

I agree with the statement that they don't seem too jazzed about those tunes, and if the tunes are similar to Magic Bullet and The First Time (both good tunes for sure but also definitely in the lower tier of MMJ's catalog for me) I'd definitely rather see them cook up new stuff with the band in a studio. Also, didn't Jim say that the live record is mixed and it just needs a name and cover art? I feel like I read that was the progress they'd made but I'm not sure where.

Wow.

With all of this hiatus business, I've checked in less often lately, and missed the "tour" announcement by several weeks. I was initially relieved to see that the band at least had dates on the calendar, but I just now found this thread. That relief was shattered and replaced with the feeling of dread that has been lingering since the initial hiatus announcement.

I hope the speculation is wrong, but it makes sense. How long have they been fixing up that leftover Waterfall material at this point- or mixing the live album? There have been what, four solo Jim James albums since the last peep out of My Morning Jacket? Very, very disheartened right now.

That relief was shattered and replaced with the feeling of dread that has been lingering since the initial hiatus announcement.

I hope the speculation is wrong, but it makes sense. How long have they been fixing up that leftover Waterfall material at this point- or mixing the live album? There have been what, four solo Jim James albums since the last peep out of My Morning Jacket? Very, very disheartened right now.

I'm feeling a little more down about it recently as well. Whispers made their way onto the Inforoo message boards and while on inforoo its anyone's guess whether somebody's got a source or is just bullshitting you but still disheartening to see those rumors make their way into the world outside of jacket-only forums.

With that said though, somebody on Facebook also claimed studio time is happening in September and there's also a big gap in everybody's schedule in March/April that looks like it could be used to knock out those projects we've been waiting ages for-we'll just have to wait and see.

who knows what's been going on but the live album / DVD or whatever it will be, is becoming irrelevant as fuck. it will never be irrelevant to US , the fans, but to say....someone just barely into the band they'd be kinda wondering why this band is releasing a live album of shows from 2015 at the Beacon.

They probably revamped the live album with updated shows and versions, like from NYE 2017 and RR 2016. They're probably going for the shows that the fans don't have a copy of through bootlegs or any other way.

I WANT THAT LIVE ALBUM ALMOST AS BAD AS I WANNA SEE THEM PLAY LIVE AGAIN....

well...there's no way anything could ever take the place of SEEING THIS BAND LIVE, but getting a second Okonokos would be such a joyous moment.

On a side note, the rumors that the band is breaking up have just allowed my best friend to come out to Colorado with me for his first Red Rocks experience...  His wife was giving all sorts of opposition to the idea of it until I dropped the bomb that it may be their last set of shows.  Not that I believe the rumor, but I did hear it so I'm not lying!  She did a complete 180 and was basically like, "Well, damn I guess you pretty much have to go then!"  Friend and I exchanged smirks.

unfortunately, she already experienced the "this is their last show ever" thing with the NYE 2017 run, so she's not buying it this time hahah, but I'm gonna do everything I can to be there. Some of you have been so generous with your patience, your time and your tickets by offering them. I can't in good conscience say I can do it until I have the money to get them, at least most of it.
 If anyone can wait a month or two, I'll have everything set up for it then, but if not, I can figure something else out.

 Just wanted to say how much I appreciate a lot of you good people.

You could always try the "it might be their last Red Rocks shows" on her and see if she goes for that. 😉 ( I wouldn't buy it but if she went for the NYE show being their last, she might buy this one too)
