Great! I've got a good friend in Memphis that I can go with! Also, Rev. Al Green and Gary Clark, Jr.

I will assume you meant to put 05/04/12 - 05/06/12, unless the boys and us have a time machine handy. ;)

Talked to Bo last week and he said MMJ will be there! Still don't know when the line-up will be announced though...anyone have any idea? Would love to try to do Jazz Fest and Beale Street if the dates are back-to-back...

That might be one of the main reasons I go to this...seems like setlists in 1st-time cities are the most unique.

I think 2 days at Jazz Fest and then road trippin' to MMJ @ Beale Street is in order

ditto my nitto..let's figure these dates out.
i'm trying to do the whole 10 days for Jazz Fest and not do any other festivals..it would be great to do both shows. the drive up to memphis is 5 hours or so from NOLA?

JP--agree we should put together some sort of trip up to see them in Memphis-those of us at Jazz Fest...

Fully · Jan 09, 2012, 12:06 PM

I used to live in Memphis and I'm pretty sure the drive is a little longer than five hours. I'm probably going to end up going to Memphis instead of going to Jazz Fest. I just don't think my bank account can handle the NOLA trip. Plus I want to go to 'roo this year and have a few other road trips. If y'all end up going to Memphis, let me know and I'll meet up with you. I'd love to see you all again.

Pass. No thank you to truncated set lists. And as a warning - it rains EVERY year at the Beale Street Fest. And it wouldn't be so bad except the show grounds are at the bottom of a hill and it gets muddy as hell. But, if that's your thang, then go for it.

Love Beale Fest...been Three times and had a blast. Not going to make it this year but I'm def on going back at some point.

Penny Lane · Jan 26, 2012, 09:37 AM

so we're assuming MMJ will play Beale on Fri and Jazz Fest on Sat?

e_wind · Jan 26, 2012, 10:23 AM

I hope so. Then they'll e there for both the pres hall shows.

So true. People seriously wear mud boots to the show. Unbelievable how many shoes and flip flops and other clothing items end up in the mud after the show along with all the other trash. that mud will suck your shoes right off!

I'll be there, Need to find a way to tape it.

Or just get front row like i did at Vanderbilt (Wish i had a tape of that show though :'( )
