Anyone meet the band yet on this tour?

Im The Dude · Jul 22, 2011, 12:09 PM

Since 2008 it's be easy to meet them after a show depending on where they park their bus. I've gotten to meet them a few times since 2008. Anyone have any luck on this tour yet?

I did read a few post of seeing them before the show but not after.

I came across them at Mountain Jam, walking to backstage areas to watch Dawes. All except Tommy. Just shook hands, asked them to join us on our blanket in front of the main stage (they said "thanks anyway"), generally let them be.

Hanging out behind Metropolis in Montreal by the bus after the show, saw Ryan Pickett and met Eric Mayers, but got shooed away.

Lingered around during soundcheck in Ottawa but got stopped wandering in too deep by security.

I think I'm on their stalker list now.

met Bo and TTT at the palace. Saw the whole band right outside my hotel in Chicago. Had a real convo with Bo at the palace, but other than that it was just hellos

Met the band in the afternoon of the Chicago show as they were arriving for soundcheck. All very cool and just as nice as you have heard on the board.

Since I was at the box office early trying to fix a problem with my tickets, Jim joked with me saying, "hey maybe we'll see you at the show later" lol

Didn't really get to meet and talk to him. But we saw Jim walking down the sidewalk near the venue in Charlotte early in the day when we went to pick up the tickets. I gave him a thumbs up and he waved. Nothing special but it made our day.

Damn e! Maybe he just had to drop a deuce. ;)

Think you might've violated man code rule #2b, sec 4, part 6, paragraph 8, line 10! ;D

spotted bo out in the crowd at bonnaroo this year. i was behind whatever tent dr. john's show on saturday night was in, standing on the road waiting for it to start and he comes walking up that road from the which stage area. i was too much in shock to say much, so I stuck out my hand and said "you're the fuckin' man!" He replied "thanks brother!" and shook my hand. true story.

Still waiting for my chance but when I think about it actually happening I have NO idea what I would say. I would probably freeze up. And I'm not usually very shy. ???

Not shy? Heck, you are the official enforcer. "Don't even think about coming near my rail". ;D

Met Jim outside of the venue when we went to pick up tickets for the Vancouver BC show. I literally got weak in the knees whilst talking to him and giggled like a school girl afterwards much to the chagrin of my husband. Jim autographed our tickets (JJ#37).

All this time I thought Jim was ten feet tall. I'm 5'8" and we seemed the same height (and perhaps I'm being generous). I actually kinda liked that he's not a big dude - but he sure is mighty!

they did an autograph signing at acl fest so a lot of folks met them there.

How was that? MMJ didn't appear at any of the autograph tents for Mt. Jam, Ottawa Bluesfest, or Lollapalooza. Was it assembly line or did folks sneak in pictures and chat the boys up?

I met the guys (minus Jim) in NYC at Joe's pub after Carl's show. I felt like I was being very intrusive as they were all having their own conversations (with other fans, as well as their friends) and I didn't want to bother them

I'm hoping that during this December leg, especially at the small Boca Raton venue, I'll have an opportunity to meet them all again, and Jim for the first time. Hopefully I'll work up the stones to ask for a picture and maybe and autograph or two.

Nah, you should've talked to them. It was all mostly us there anyway. Hell, two of my friends an I even bought them all beers (amstel lights).
