MMJ Free Atlanta Show April 5, 2013?!?!

[oistheone]

WOW! Can't believe this is going down. Those who are close to this show are so lucky to be able to get a little unexpected fix!

I'm expecting a barn-burning set, chock full of deep album cuts and unreleased jams.

[Fully]

YES!!!!

[e_wind]

see you all there!

[justbcuzido]

I am excited and very jealous for anyone who is going.

[rjlemons]

Wooooohooooo!!!!!!!! So glad I kept the faith and put in for this day off work when I first heard about it!!   

[timescaper]

that's a big crowd to have not played in a while - wonder if they will do a small warm up show first

[tdb810]

woop! Will this be televised?

[yakeroo]

Just created a twitter last night to investigate this mystery saga and had to double take when that tweet popped up! MMJ and free taboot
Let the spontaneous curation begin!

[Penny Lane]

So this Zac Brown guy...does he have a greatest hits package?..and where do all the high school girls hang out? (bwhwhahahahahahah gross, this is gonna be worse than Better than Ezra!)

[davymac]

yesssss!! this has made my month!!! see you guys there!

[Mahgeetah34]

Yeeeaah  Anyone that doubted this show is banned from the rail. I kid I kid, but seriously though, will this really be spontaneously curated? If so, I wanna hear War Begun and Nashville To Kentucky!

[johnnYYac]

Congrats Atlanta. I wonder if MMJ will do something from Regions. Maybe A New Life a la Live Tusk, with a local marching band!  Otherwise, I would think it will be a fest-y set. I'd be there if...

[Fully]

I can't imagine it's spontaneously currated. For a crowd this size, it will be a hits heavy setlist. Also, Zac Brown comes on after MMJ correct? I'll leave after Jacket.

I actually enjoyed Zac Brown Band at Bonnaroo the one year I got to see them. I think they have played there 3 different years. Yes they have some crappy country radio pop songs, but they also jam out and actually play. I would much rather see them over anyone playing Saturday. Plus they do some kickass covers.

YESS!  I'll be at the final four games on Saturday and will catch this on Friday, gonna be a great weekend.

[bartel]

does this mean MMJ are on the road more then we thought they would be in 2013... Can only hope so.. free shows everywhere please

[Fully]

I will be more than happy to generously give any Zac Brown fans the opportunity to see their favorite band without my presence. I've got a date with Richard Thompson in Nashville the next night, so I'll be interested in getting as far down the road back to TN that evening after Jacket plays. I hope we get a full show. With only three bands, we should.

My wife drug me to Zac Brown when he played Deluna Fest last year.  I am by no means a fan, but there are a lot worse bands to get stuck seeing (like Foo Fighters  ).  Anwyay, as it was said, he plays some pretty good and unexpected covers.  I would not at all be surprised if he threw in a Jacket cover.  He did a good job of making his covers relevant to the kind of music that was at Deluna Fest.

[smccannstephen]

I can't believe this actually happened. I for one will be leaving after MMJ plays because I think Zac Brown should not be headlining this.

There has to be a reason as to why MMJ chose Atlanta and this concert series to play their "only" show... I mean I'm glad they chose ATL since I live here but still amazed this is happening.

[scosby2]

love it when I'm wrong...i guess the delay in the announcement was either due to contract issues or just the fact that this is to really try to open up the band to a newer crowd bc if you think about it there are gonna be tons and tons of people already in atlanta for the final four...what better way to get exposure to that crowd than a free show. so it's not like they need the band's fans flying in from all over the country to fill the venue up...hence just the two-three week notice...nice marketing strategy if you ask me...see you guys there
