Any rumors floating out there for a MMJ 2020 Tour? Anything?
Roger Waters is doing 30 - 40 shows in North America next summer which I would think will have an impact on any MMJ plans for 2020...

Are we assuming Bo is like his go-to keys guy now?
Quote from: Osistheones on Oct 27, 2019, 03:35 PMAre we assuming Bo is like his go-to keys guy now?
I think he has been for a couple years now.
I thought that was just one long tour though? I dunno, Roger seems to cycle through musicians and I would think Bo's priority would be MMJ, i.e. if the band plans to tour he's not going to tell the other 4 to put it on hold to do yet more shows with Roger.
I thought Bo was a replacement piece for an injured keys guy to begin with. Obviously its cool to play with Roger but I imagine/hope MMJ coming back would take precedence

I remember seeing this as well
about halfway thru the article......
There's a long section in "Dogs" after I sing the verse "Dragged down by the stone," which is about dogs and pigs destroying whatever they can in a mad scramble to be Gordon Gekko. So it's only Joey [Waronker, drums] and [keyboardist] Jon Carin actually playing anything.
doesn't say "keyboardist bo koster". maybe bo has had his run.
and i can't wait to see waters again. first time around was fantastic.
It was hard to tell all of what was going on for sure on stage at the show we were at in Rome, but I thought I remembered seeing two folks on keys and sure enough there was.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Us_%2B_Them_Tour (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Us_%2B_Them_Tour)
Roger does say in the interview that he is reworking his show so only time will tell if Bo is part of those plans. It was really fun seeing Bo and his hat up on stage with Roger but I doubt I will be going to another RW show anytime soon, and like others here I would love to see him in 2020 as many times as possible jamming with our favorite band.
It seemed as if one point a few weeks ago they were all heading out to LA. I recall seeing Carl joining someone out that way and Bo posting something on the west coast.
Anyone have insight?
Apparently Bo will be touring with Roger for the majority of 2020. I hope I got misinformation, but I doubt it.
mostly optimistic speculation, but Bo's continued role in Roger's ensemble and a 2020 "tour" for MMJ aren't necessary mutually exclusive concepts.
I'm too lazy to map this out, but I'd suggest looking at Roger's tour schedule and also major US festival dates to see where the open windows lie. Along same lines, look at gaps on Roger's tour and check open multi-night windows in our favorite residency venues.
Also, who's to say MMJ wouldn't get slotted to open for Roger?

I hear you. If it has been announced, I can't find Roger's 2020 tour dates. But if there are breaks hopefully Bo will be happy to be extra busy for MMJ shows. That sounds optimistic and reasonable too. I heard 8 month between Roger rehearsals and shows, which makes 2021 a possible giant Jacket year (although I don't think I can wait that long if there aren't shows during those Roger windows).

I'm pretty clueless with the process of making an album. What exactly does it mean for them to finish "tracking" the album?

It's the actual recording of the songs prior to the mixing stage.
I have heard some chatter (aka, rumor) of MMJ playing the Frost Amphitheater (Stanford campus) this summer. Yes please.
Shaky Knees lineup comes out tomorrow I believe.. fingers crossed

That would be great. My wife & I did three nights in Berkeley when The National played two shows up there last year. We would head up for MMJ for sure, easy enough to do coming up from Long Beach.

yeah, I think Shaky's too early in the year for the assumed album/tour arc for 2020. (also, isn't there some weird MMJ history with Shaky promoter - I know the name is derivative from Steam lyrics, but MMJ avoided the fest until the big confetti shit show in 2017 I think?)
Anyway, the Stanford rumor might have legs given the election year and political messaging angle I've heard as part of the tour chatter

Was the confetti thing in 16 a shit show? all I'd heard was that it was awesome. Always wondered if the band was on board with the whole "fest kinda named after them" thing
I remember reading an interview with the founder/owner of Shaky Knees, who said he named it that because he was such a big MMJ fan and picked the name because of Steam Engine. Jim James played that first SK festival during the Regions tour. As far as I know, none of the band members commented on their feelings about the name, but I gotta think they're flattered.
I would love to go to North CA later in the year...... keep those rumors flowing. I wasn't optimistic based on what I was told about Bo being busy with Roger Waters for the majority of the year.
man i really like that Shaky Knees lineup - if Jacket was on there it would be incredible!

I fully support this line of chatter..
Need a tour next year real bad
I'm predicting a Fall2020 album with fall/winter tour and 2021 OBH back in action.
A reddit user has made a claim that MMJ is playing the farm this year. One of his other acts he's stated has been independently confirmed to be true, but he has no prior reddit history till about a week ago when he came on claiming the same thing that had already been scooped by inforoo. I'm trying to be wary of his confirmation but Jacket at roo would be HUGE for me.

Lord please yes. The conversation of re-visiting the farm just came up this weekend with my friends and I. Last time there was 2015 for Jacket.
haha! I would love this, but also told myself I'm done with Roo after 7 straight years. Lots of great times but it feels time to move on. My best friend and I literally said the only way we'll go back is if Jacket, LCD, or Phish comes back. I realize this is all first world dilemma. Interesting news for my otherwise boring Tuesday.
I'd prefer to see them at Lockn in June but I am just being selfish since its much closer than TN to me.

"Shapiro is planning to announce some big underplay shows from major indie Nashville headliners in the coming weeks."
My Morning Jacket is definitely an "indie headliner" with 2 members that live in Nashville, expected 2020 plans, and a past history with other Brooklyn Bowl venues. 1200 would be an underplay for sure. MMJ also played Ascend in Nashville the first season it opened up. Could be our first big hint at upcoming shows?

That's awesome, The Dirty Knobs I believe is Benmount Tench's band and with Mike Campbell joining them that should be a good show. :thumbsup:
so I think 'Roo gets announced this week and that could be pretty big news. I would say that announcement and the Lockn announcement will be ones to keep an eye on (no intel at all, just based on past history with those fests/promoters).
Fest dates are great but I need an album update which means tour dates as well. Fingers crossed for some good news this month.
Yeah, Bonnaroo lineup drops tomorrow morning around 9am. Hopefully MMJ has been sitting on a bunch of 2020 news and information until the lineup reveal which they're hopefully on!!

NOT at Bonnaroo https://www.jambase.com/article/bonnaroo-2020-lineup-oysterhead-tool-tame-impala-lizzo
crazy how Lizzo opened for MMJ for a few shows just a short time ago. Now headlining the Roo. Good for her!
I don't mean to sound negative, but I'm not feeling optimistic about a 2020 tour/album :cry:
We're a week into the year. Be patient.

completely agree, 'Roo was just the first festival I thought could see MMJ in the lineup. If we don't hear any news by end of next month, I'll be disappointed.
Lockn is the week following 'Roo now so I wonder how competition has impacted the bookings of each.
I dunno, assessing the chances of a tour/album based on whether or not they play a few major festivals doesn't really make sense to me.

I agree, and either MMJ is done for the foreseeable future, which I doubt, or they are still working their master plan after the management change. I can't fault them for taking their sweet time to make the art they want to make. Patience will pay one way or another...
Not necessarily related to a tour rumor but yesterday Kevin Ratterman posted a pic of Patrick at his studio in LA.

Also agreeing with this. I thought 'Roo was a 50/50 shot, and in hindsight glad to not see them on that bill.
Deep logic suggests that Shapiro's ability to completely ignore radius clauses and book MMJJ the night before Forest Hills is something to keep an eye on. MMJ would have a much deeper impact and connection by headlining Lockn again as opposed to getting lost in the shuffle of a huge list of bands and genres at 'Roo. I know there's history with 'Roo, but times and circumstances have changed.
So to be honest, I'm keeping an eye on Lockn and Forecastle - and perhaps NFF as potential Summer one-offs, with a confident eye on a Fall tour of multi-night stands. Lots of signs pointing to an album in 2020, but part of me thinks maybe we'll see a live album spring 2020 first, with new album late 2020 or very early 2021. The Fall tour would probably be best delivered and enjoyed by all if it didn't have new album pressure (just a guess - again, just deep logic)
The situation with the live album is very confusing. Those Beacon shows were in November 2015. They're going to release a live album of music that is over four years old? I just don't understand why it hasn't been released yet.

Thanks for the link. I got excited that he was recording for new MMJ. Israel Nash is cool too, but not as cool obviously as MMJ.
Bring on some one offs and the fall multi nighters! I can't believe 2020 will be as quiet as 2018 and 2019 especially after reading that article where Jim said the 2019 summer shows were his favorite Jacket shows ever.

I think the fact that this is an election year bodes well for a summer Jacket tour.
Facebook people seem to be pushing an August 28-29 run at the ole Red Rocks. No idea if it's reliable or not though one of the group mods is saying it so that's probably a decent source.

I'm one of the mods over there and have heard those dates since they played there last from a few people. My guess is it's been in hold and now maybe booked?
Late Summer/Fall tour. That's been my guess all along

Don't fail me now facebook!!!
Jacket > The Crowes would be a perfect weekend away for me.

Gotta assume that the fest show will be Lock'n at this stage right? I can't imagine one fest will be a small guy like a Mountain Jam of the world. All the other major festival lineups have been announced at this point.
I think we'll know the validity of these claims soon enough.
Lockn and Forecastle are the leading contenders in my mind.

i sure hope they don't play forecastle. give louisville a proper show (or two), not a festival set.
Jazz Fest lineup will be released on Thursday.
I would think Newport Folk is the most likely option. Big history there and they consistently get all the "rare" shows, which a Jacket show definitely is this year.

Been once, it wasn't for me. Scenic and peaceful but it ends super early and tickets sell out for it long before any sort of lineup is announced.
It would definitely be a gamble to assume MMJ will be in it, personally I think Newport folk fest is a tad too soft for the boys as a comeback show.
I am leaning forecastle as others had mentioned - hometown show for the huge comeback tour.
Does anyone know when Lockn lineup gets announced? It's in June this year (earlier than usual) seems the lineup should be out very soon.
What about the Outside Lands Music and Art Festival 8/7-9 in San Franciso. It's a late summer festival, or for that matter Lollapalooza 7/30-8/2, UGH! (too damn big for me)
If the "late summer/early fall" tour rumblings are accurate, OSL, ACL and even Voodoo make a ton of sense. Lockn might be too early?

Best Fest Going. Jim is on the board for Newport so there's always a chance, but limited to hour long sets unless the closer which can run a bit over.

The setting looks incredible. I think I'll put in a request for tickets with or without MMJ.

I also thought LOCKN would make sense. But LOCKN isn't doing it for me this year unfortunately. Any Phil Lesh fans would be stoked. It's still early. If fall is the rumor, then we have a few months to be patient before we can plan anything. I'm optimistic too.

also, if there was a smaller fest of just the folks on the bottom half of the lineup, I'd be all about it.

Damn... I had my money on Lock'N. Hope is dwindling.
I'm still optimistic. It's not even February, I was just hopeful they'd pop up this month but there's still plenty of time for tour and album news in 2020.

yeah forecastle and bourbon & beyond seem more likely - especially the latter given timing. All good tho ;)
Roger Waters announced a huge tour from July through the end of a September. Assuming Bo is still touring with him this may rule out MMJ until the fall.

Here's the official press release from Roger's website. No mention of who's in the band but the whole in the round concept sounds like good fun.

Sea Hear Now fest in Asbury Park NJ. Started by Danny Clinch plus Carl played there in 2018. Dates are 9-19 and 9-20. Would be a great choice.

Jim just announced an August 14th date for his Order of Nature project with Teddy Abrams in Oregon, too.
Maybe that leaves us with some late August (if those Red Rocks Aug 27/28 rumors are true) September & October tour dates... Leads right up to the election if that's what they were going for, obviously. Hopefully we'll have some news in the coming weeks! Who knows though!

"No, I decided to sit this one out." Wow... I can't imagine how difficult that sort of choice must be.
So now the table is set and we know for sure that RW's plans aren't holding anything up. Red Rocks over Labor Day weekend would be a dream and I too would love to see them blow the doors off the new Louisville soccer stadium, but at this point I'll be happy with anything from MMJ!

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Bo a fill in for the last tour? Didn't the original member of the touring band get sick or something?
How are people confident that he was invited back?

I don't know the answer myself but in Bo's Twitter bio he lists "keyboardist for Roger Waters, My Morning Jacket, Ray LaMontagne and other good things."

Which is not inaccurate, but to play devils advocate a bit, Bo did not tour with Ray during his last tour, Carl was in the band though.

There was no band, it was just Ray and Carl mostly acoustic although Carl did play some electric and pedal steel.

I meant his last summer tour in 2018, there was definitely a full band..

Yeah, Bo was a fill in for Drew Erickson on keyboard.
I think everyone is just going off Bo's twitter reply from yesterday which he insinuates he made the choice to sit it out... At least that's all I'm going off of. Lol
If you didn't see the tweet, Erica asked if he would be "Going out with Roger again?" (In regards to the tour announcement yesterday)
Bo's reply was "No, I decided to sit this one out"
I definitely do not know the accurate answer here, but while I think did Bo originally come on as a fill-in, he seemed to have merged into the regular lineup. He did multiple tours with Roger over the period of multiple years.
Bo confirmed he decided to sit this tour out with Roger... and that bodes really well because why else would he?
Great to know that Bo likely has time for MMJ. The Roger news initially made me write off the summer and a good part of the fall.
Quote from: Clarkwork on Jan 24, 2020, 02:12 PMBo confirmed he decided to sit this tour out with Roger... and that bodes really well because why else would he?
hard to be part of the recording process when you're traveling the world with another band. (at least that's what I am hoping).
Someone somewhere mentioned recently that MMJ has finished recording a new album. I have no other details and do not know the accuracy of the source.
So I guess Roger Waters just confirmed on XM Radio that Bo isn't touring with him because MMJ will be touring behind a new album. Anyone hear it?

This is all based off of a Facebook post. I didn't hear the interview. So in hindsight, maybe I should have waited until this was confirmed, but I got too excited. Plus, I don't know who would just make that up. If true, that's a pretty cool album announcement, having Roger Waters spill the beans

YES!! I didn't hear it and am surprised the DJ or whomever asked about his keyboard player or how that came up in conversation..... but very exciting news indeed.
Roger is a pro and I would be shocked if he released even a hint anyone else's personal touring information in advance of the band doing it...
Just a hunch, but I feel like this Railbird Festival rumor may have legs. Booked by AC Entertainment (Forecastle, Roo), this fest is probably looking to make a big splash in their second year -- which a MMJ headlining set in Kentucky surely would accomplish. Takes place Aug 22-23 this year, lining up verrrrry nicely with the late-summer/early fall tour rumblings...

I think it's pretty obvious that the person who posted that on Facebook just made that shit up which is pretty annoying. Not a single mention of Roger Waters saying My Morning Jacket is doing a tour on the internet other than that FB post. Some people just starved for attention i guess
I suggest we start thinking bigger picture here. Chaotic times coming to a head and the only way to address chaos is with a clear plan to help navigate our troubled waters. Peace and love...
pretty funny that whiskeyknits asking Bo about Waters tour made it into this Jambase article:

Holds about 3900, would be smallllll
i see loads of CID packages being sold if that rumor is true.
What are the chances we get a Red Rocks weekend and a 3-night stretch at Mission? It'd have to be one or the other but I'd fly out for both!

I would think the chances are slim, no?
Quote from: Jbpats on Feb 05, 2020, 09:47 AMfawwwwk why always Denver!?!
boooo denver! tickets + flight + hotel = more $$$ than i'm willing to spend.
yaaaay louisville! tickets + drive to venue + sleep in my own bed = :thumbsup:
Living in Denver I really hope this happens. With that said, I really don't see it going down at the Mission Ballroom, too small in my opinion, especially seeing how over sold the Red Rocks shows were last summer, it would be a packed zoo.
CO is amazing, but I hope they give another state a chance. Late Dec '17 and summer '19 and now maybe summer '20 and late Dec '20. Lucky folks living near all the MMJ shows!
Can't wait for the e-mail to hit any day now
Between Forecastle and Railbird, the next two weeks have potential to be big!!!
I hear you APR, I have no clue why they are neglecting so many places, I do hope for a full on tour for all to enjoy!
Dreamt last night that MMJ came back to the Cap, they opened with I Know What It's Like by Jeff Tweedy (? i dunno), it had a riproaring sax solo, and i dream-cried before waking. Hopefully some of those things happen in real life

Thanks! I just came back to edit my post since I just checked the Forecastle website and saw the info was there (it says Wednesday the 12th).
There is a lot of forecastle buzz in other festival forums, probably no rhyme or reason behind it.. but there is thoughts that the Forecastle announcement will trigger their tour announcement.

i've run out of steam on rumors at this point, I just hope to see some cryptic tweet from one of the guys that shows they are in the studio. As much as I'd like to see some live shows, I am much more excited about the potential of a new album (bc with that comes...a TOUR!). The boys have made a lot of great music outside of the band and it is bound to have a massive impact on their sound. Seeing Carl get co-writing credits with Nicole Atkins makes me wish he would have a larger role in that capacity for MMJ.

The undercard at Forecastle is unreal! Cass McCombs, Parquet Courts, Goose, Illiterate Light AND Caroline Rose? Sign me up!
But anyway, it's Railbird to keep an eye on. Out one week today.

I'm not surprised to see no MMJ at Forecastle - July is way too early for mobilization based on what I'm hearing. In terms of fests, I'd say Bourbon & Beyond and ACL are still viable. Railbird? at a horse track?
They finished up in the studio late last year (they were all radio silent on socials Sept/Oct while in LA with Kevin R. and I think they worked with Tucker again to wrap up tracking and polish things up). go take a look at Tucker's IG account floramartine and you'll see a buried post with a track listing from Waterfall that includes unreleased songs (Magic Bullet, Spinning, Wasted, Feel You, Talk to Me) that I suspect will be centerpieces along with some new ones written and composed since 2015. I'm still hoping for a live album too, but who knows.
As for Fall tour (which may include 2-3 autumn festival stops), they have holds all over through 12/31 - stay tuned!

yeah, man - me too! but with the solid leaks on NYE run at Mission Ballroom (another AEG venue), I kind of gave up hope on RR about a month ago....can't imaging 4-5 nights in the same market within 4 months' time
I would love to see some NYE shows and Mission Ballroom is right across the road from 3D!
Any more on Railbird?
Lineup drops tomorrow so I put a reservation down that is cancellable.
It's gotta be Railbird

Railbirds lineup is atrocious
welp
Atrocious seems a little harsh. It does look like an indie folk lineup from a decade ago, but if you're into Americana stuff it doesn't seem awful.
fall/winter tour it is! (hopefully)
no railbird. :thumbsup:
as much as i love bourbon and beyond, fingers crossed that they don't play there either.
again, imo we louisvillians need/deserve a proper show or two, not a festival set.
How about the Ed Vedder curated Ohana Fest in Dana Point,CA?
I've always thought that would be a perfect gig for the band
I think that lineup comes out within a month or so.

PJ is supposedly going to be doing leg 2 in Sept- Oct. They don't have any Texas dates leg 1. MMJ rumors seem to be heating up.... thanks for chiming in walterfredo. I didn't know RATM was rumored for ACL. Shits could be lost. It could be all three! I don't have inside info, but you never know. This is one city and one festival I have always wanted to visit.
I gave up on seeing Rage in El Paso when the PJ tour was announced so seeing them here would be sweet. I do expect them here too.

i don't think we can base anything off history. It's all about new music for them at this point and when that is ready, they will be ready and I'd expect (hope) for them to be very busy once that album hits the streets.
I reckon that if the rumors of an early fall tour are legit, we get some news before the end of the month.

I say it's time the guys announce some sort of tour kickoff with a benefit show for Nashville & the Basement East.

Yep and killers will be the other headliners. BEAR with us while we finish finalizing our KILLER lineup. I feel like they capitalized those words as clues. I think the delay in announcing the lineup is because Jim is helping curate the undercard. Jim also played Teluride Bluegrass a couple Summers ago so he knows how special this venue is. Pictures don't do it justice. Teluride is a special place and amazingly beautiful. You have to experience it to fully understand. Add this to James recent obsession with CO, and it all just makes sense. I think they will announce late Summer tour and album at same time. Red Rocks in August.

As much as I want to believe this to be true, I am looking at the Ride Festival webpage and all is says is "We are still curating a KILLER line up" I don't see anything about BEARING with us. I like the thought of this being true but unless I am missing something it isn't adding up.

the bear is a reference to a local guy that was involved with the fest for years (nicknamed Bear - he passed a year or so ago and they honor his legacy with bits like this). I'd say it's safe to assume they are haggling with the Killers over headlining $, and maybe even hit pause given the corona virus concerns
Anyway, my guess is that MMJ won't be ramped up by July - keep in mind the logistics required to get a band like ours on the road (band schedules, crew, payroll, loading semi's, label logistics, and the biggest issue of overall preference to book festivals while a tour is already mobilized - and all of this can get pushed around by an album release).
just a guess of course and I love to be proven wrong.....

Ohana festival announcement is Monday also. I don't think that's a coincidence as I expect some PJ/Vedder news and coordinating the announcements make sense. If MMJ is at either one, that would be amazing. I have a feeling millerjustin will be right regarding summer (Sea Hear Now) so maybe MMJ at Ohana. I like how you say "a band like ours" in the above post.
Any legitimacy to the rumor on FB that the DJ on Phish Sirius radio said to keep an eye out for MMJ news tomorrow?!?

about as much legitimacy as the one person that heard Roger Waters say there was going to be a tour this year.
They're both probably going to end up being right that there will be a tour at some point but i'm not so sure it was actually said
No Sea Hear Now.
Ohana it is!
Now where's the tour?!
Exactly!! Now we wait for them to drop the real hammer with a tour and a few runs announcement!!

Some good smaller acts on there too. I have heard good things about Ohana.
Quote from: APR on Mar 09, 2020, 04:41 PMSome good smaller acts on there too. I have heard good things about Ohana.
I went to Ohana fest in 2018 for one day, seeing Eddie Vedder, Johnny Marr, & the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. There's a great vibe, you're right there near the water, and the two stages are side by side so you don't really miss anything. Can't wait to see MMJ playing there!
This news makes me happy! There's zero chance that we'll be there but it warms my heart that the MMJ dates are starting to become reality. For all those who can go to Ohana it sure does look like an awesome festival so enjoy it for us...
So what kinda exclusivity window do you think Ohana got!?? Two weeks seems reasonable for a non-headlining slot I reckon!
Maybe we'll get some teasers at the end of next week and the album and tour announcement by the last week of March, start of April?!
I'm not going so if anyone wants to use my 10 Club presale code let me know.

So glad to see a date drop and cant wait for more !!!
Gota say as someone who likes Kings of Leon and seen them a couple times its almost insulting to me that MMJ has the under card billing. I get it Kings are a better mainstream draw, but live? not even a competition, MMJ will blow them out of the water.
2015 since the last West Coast dates, it is time! I've seen Jim solo five times in So Cal since then.
Ohana is close to home, but I think there are some non-festival shows coming that will be an even better option. :thumbsup:

yeah, i enjoy some KOL for sure. But I've seen them live a few times. Very dull and the singer comes off as a c*ck. I hope MMJ takes it as their responsibility to mop the stage with them
maybe the should have scheduled the first day billing as QOTSA>Black Crowes>KOL, and then they can battle out for which lead singer is the biggest douchebag.

man, kinda glad their isn't a jacket tour happening right now that would end up being canceled. i would be devastated
I was wondering today how the virus might potentially effect new music being released. Obviously tours and festivals are being cancelled left right and centre but are artists/bands also going to now hold off on new releases until a time when it's safe to tour again? For most these days touring is the only way to earn a living with streaming/downloads being the norm which don't pay well at all.

Run the Jewels seemed to be aiming to drop RTJ4 right at Coachella-now that Coachella is canceled, El-P said they "don't want to wait much longer than initially planned," but that assumes they will wait a bit.

You could argue releasing stuff now while people are stuck at home for 3 weeks and looking for things to do would be the best time to release new material. That being said, I would imagine most upcoming releases will be pushed back.
Touring with a five piece band is one thing, but Jim and Teddy's tour with an orchestra is a whole different matter and it will be very interesting to see if the May shows in particular are able to go on as scheduled.

They're not touring with an orchestra, they play with local orchestras. Regardless, I agree the shows may be in jeopardy. But I would really like to think we'll be on the downside of this issue by then.

Jason Isbell brought up a good point on twitter for people asking him to drop his new album early. His point was that it would crush independent record stores that are already struggling and rely on vinyl releases to survive.

Jason always has his heart in the right place. Role model for many artists...owns his own record label & does what he wants, how he wants to do it.
Not sure I agree with the logic though, assuming you just release it early digitally. It seems like the same school of thought that early leaks are damaging financially. I think most people who were going to purchase the vinyl from a local store would do so anyways when everything returns to normal.
They should give us that live LP that's supposedly been done a while.
I was waiting until tomorrow to buy the new PJ vinyl from my indie but with shelter in place they closed. Guess I'll be waiting a while.
But I agree that buying the vinyl and having the tunes are two different things and changing the release date won't change much how many people buy the vinyl.
Hoping everyone is staying healthy out there, so at this point what are the chances of any Jacket shows in 2020?

i think he released it this week to indie stores first and you're probably right it won't change how many people buy it but where they buy it is what he's trying to work towards with the release stuff.
