Not sure if this has been posted:

Saturday May 5th
Preservation Hall Crescent City Revue
featuring Preservation Hall and Friends
(with VERY SPECIAL GUESTS)
The Joy Theater, 1200 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA
Tickets on-sale Saturday March 31st at 11am EST via Ticketmaster

I would guess this will be very similar to the 50th anniversary concert.

Yup. Grabbed 2 tix this morning...floor. I'm gonna regret that, I'm sure (floors instead of seats, I mean).

Brooke (and all), no riverboat shows this year :(

And holy crap, I accidentally discovered the Jeremy Lyons/Morphine thing just yesterday. I will definitely plan on dba for that show!

I grabbed some as well, it's a small theater... I think it'll be cool with or without MMJ as guests

[Penny Lane]

I opted not to get tix for this. Not sure I wanted to spend another 50$---If there are tix left last min, I might change my mind. (also holding hope out for yet another, secret, more intimate show --but highly doubt it).

I think it will be awesome, though.

I too am passing on the Joy Theater gig. I've seen JJ play with PHJB a bunch and went to the 50th anniversary Carnegie Hall Show. I think the Gentilly Stage performance closing out the end of Jazzfest will be enough for me. Still holding on to my Anders @ Republic plans .. for now.

also, boo for no river boat shows. what the hell ?!! actually i'm often apt to skip those unless it's someone i loooove b/c being trapped on a boat for several hours w/o an option to leave makes me feel cagey  ;D oh well.

[EasyRyder]

anybody still looking for tickets?? I'm bailing and doing beale street instead due to a variety of reasons. I have two 2nd weekend any day tickets.

I can do 50 a piece or 100 for two

i too am hoping for that. I'll gladly eat these tickets if something else arises. i've never seen PHJB and MMJ aside from when they opened in 2010

Eddie Vedder has cancelled:  :'(


Eddie Vedder cancels New Orleans Jazz Fest show due to injury
Published: Thursday, April 05, 2012, 3:49 PM     Updated: Thursday, April 05, 2012, 4:16 PM
  By Keith Spera, The Times-Picayune

Pearl Jam vocalist Eddie Vedder has canceled his scheduled appearance at the 2012 New Orleans Jazz Fest. He has postponed the rest of his 15-city ukulele tour to the fall, in order to recover from temporary nerve damage in his right arm that resulted from a back injury sustained earlier this year.


In a post on Pearl Jam's web site, manager Kelly Curtis said, "After having worked aggressively with doctors and physical therapists for the last eight weeks to repair the damage, the intensity of the injury and time needed to heal has made it impossible to play the shows as scheduled. There was hope up until the last minute that the treatments would be successful.

"Sincerest apologies go out to those who have made plans and bought tickets. Eddie is frustrated beyond measure, but remains positive that come this summer all will be back in good form."
Vedder was slated to headline the Acura Stage at the Fair Grounds on Thursday, May 3. The festival has not yet announced how the slot will be filled.

Vedder is the second major festival act to pull out for health reasons. John Mayer's recurring throat ailment forced him to cancel his entire tour. R&B singer Jill Scott backed out of Jazz Fest in order to accept a role in a remake of "Steel Magnolias." She was replaced by Cee Lo Green.

All postponed Vedder dates, except for Jazz Fest, will be rescheduled for November and December 2012; tickets will be honored for rescheduled dates. Refunds will be available upon request through the point-of-purchase. Fan Club members with Ten Club pre-sale ticket will receive an email regarding proper refund procedures today, Thursday April 5th.
