The Shows / Re: Mercury Lounge 6/3

Last post by johnnYYac - Yesterday at 05:06 pm

I think I have a disc image file (.iso) that I can upload so folks can burn their own DVD of the Mercury Lounge 6/3/03 show. Might take a while, but I'll see what I can do...

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.

I would love to see them christen the new soccer stadium.

now that's a damn fine idea.

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.

Who's been to the Newport Festival? Would a lot of people make that trip?

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.

We must just be days away from an announcement. I'm guessing Monday or Tuesday.

I saw DBT open for MMJ in 2001.

When and where did this occur? I seriously can't think of a better combo....I saw MMJ open for Wilco and Wilco Open for Neil Young but I think this would top both.

Looks like it was 02.  That was a great show.  Jim came out in a 50 gallon foam cowboy hat and they opened with Sooner!  Oh yeah, and Johnny Quaid climbed a speaker right in front of me.  At one point he almost lost control and his guitar came inches from my face.  He told me after the show that it was a lot shakier up there than he thought it was going to be and he's glad we both came out of it okay.

Wow...if I had a time machine.

It wasn't quite DBTs opening for MMJ, but back in 2015, after OBH2 the wife & I decided to do Red Rocks for the first time.  Our initial plan was to see Alabama Shakes, with the Drive-by Truckers opening up.  Got our tickets, planned the trip, then Jacket announced they were playing Red Rocks two days later, on the day our flight arrived.  Jacket's Red Rocks 2015 show was our first Red Rocks show, and it was epic.  We followed it up with the DBTs and the Shakes two days later.  It was a great Red Rocks baptism.
