Nashville...

[Tracy 2112]

What the he'll is Trey Songs? It looks like this show is the ultimate test of will power to see a jacket show

I really don't think it will be too awful. His vibe sort of reminds me of Built to Spill.

I feel your pain.  For those of us camped at the rail for MMJ at Ottawa Blues Fest, we got to enjoy the fine song stylings of Miguel... :-\

Miguel featuring J.Cole - All I Want Is You ft. J.Cole

fine song stylings

;D somehow this makes me feel a little better.

Truly this will be surreal.

I feel sorry for this Trey Songz. It will be rather difficult to go out there and perform for people who are there to see MMJ. If the Tuscaloosa crowd was rude to Neko Case, imagine how it will be for Mr. Top40-Pop-Rap-Crap?  I was discussing this with my senior student aides. They told me it reminded them of when they went to see O.A.R. who they thought was the headliner, but it turned out that Pitbull was.  They said it was a very strange show.

Forgive me, but if its all bros and hos, perhaps MMJ will seem out of place.  :-\

Maybe, but right now they are one of the really popular college bands. But I know what you are saying. That's the double-edged sword of a band's success isn't it.

I'm a bit out of touch, at 44- a "former" Deadhead- and my high school students have no clue who MMJ is, but know Trey Songz.  Also, no offense re: my reference to the attendees.  I was merely referring to what others suggest will be a lousy crowd for a Jacket show.

Oh, I'm 43, so I'm probably out of touch too. ;D But I do that while the crowd will suck, the college kids think that they are pretty cool. Most of my high school students don't know who they are either except for the ones who went to bonnaroo this year. Anyway, no offense was taken. I think what I'm thinking of is that most fans who have loved a band for a long time get upset when they get more popular and the crowd changes from diehards who know all the back catalog and the ones who have only discovered the band because of the last album. And it seems like this album has really brought out more of the latter type of fans, particularly at colleges. Don't get me wrong. I love seeing MMJ achieve greater success with the best part being that they didn't have to lower their standards to achieve this success.

You hit the nail on the head.  In the late 80's and early 90s, the Grateful Dead scene changed dramatically.  MTV videos, bigger venues, and lots of new young fans transformed the culture of Deadheadism, or at least my experience.

A fellow high school teacher?  What subject?  Seems there are a number of educators on this here forum.

This isn't my quote, but I teach middle school math. The students in my class have no idea who MMJ (other than some band on my wall), but I'm sure they could tell me who Trey Songz was. I'm okay with not knowing who that is.

I teach English, everything from AP to basic. Also, I read a book recently about the Dead (I think it was called Growing Up Dead) that describes that experience that you refer to. It's an interesting look at the culture. I gave it to my principal to read (he's a big deadhead and I'm sucking up ::) ).

vandy and nashville in general has become more and more "hipster" "scenester" vs fraternity fucks. it shouldnt be a big issue for anyone.. standard mmj stadium show in the southeast.

Seeing The Grateful Dead Movie in a theater once a year is the closest my generation gets to seeing Jerry btw

Nashville is a big city, I seriously doubt that everyone there is in a fraternity or super hip, whatever that means. You should try living in tiny southern college town.

The crowd is gonna suck because it's heavily advertised at a Southern school, not because it's Nashville.  I've been to many many shows in Nashville and have never thought "wow the people in this town suck"

I'd love to come to this and tape, but the problem is i didnt get online fast enough to get a GA Floor Ticket, so if anyone has a extra willing to sell.. I'm in need

I never have either. It's because it's at Vanderbilt. But I'm going with the attitude that I'm seeing MMJ. Hopefully, it won't be like the last college show I attended at Tuscaloosa. But the Trey Songz thing is going to make it weird too.

[e_wind]

I agree, it's an MMJ show so it's not gonna suck either way.

Tuscaloosas crown wasn't anything compared to Lexingtons spring concert last year. Worst. Crowd. Ever
