LD and I were considering this show, but then Tom Petty went on sale at the same venue, and then The Stones and then MMJ in August, all in LA.  And then Jim James sold out.  There's only so many times we can make the 6 hour drive (or fly) to LA for concerts.  I'm not too into Regions of Light, so that's why we didn't jump on it, even though I'm sure it will be much better live than on the album.  Kinda bummed we aren't seeing this tour, especially with all the good reports of extended jams and killer drumming and all that, but money and time are not in infinite supply.

The Fonda is across the street from the Pantages where MMJ played in 2011. The Blue Palms Brewery is where many met up before that show. It is also in the same building as the Fonda, and there is even a door between the two establishments. I was there a few months ago and people with wrist bands were going between the two without going outside. Not sure if it will be that way Saturday, but it is a pretty convenient place to meet up before the show.

[danimal]

See you all there!  My girlfriend and I will be coming after work - ready to party!  Love seeing shows at the Fonda.  Last show we saw there was Dawes in 2011.  So good.

Nah buddy. So wish we were! Be good man!

Not going to the shows as I live in Illinois, but I will be very much pulling for Bermuda Highway!

My friend is a casual MMJ/Jim James fan, been to one MMJ show with me before he moved out to LA. Anyways, he was on the fence about going, but as soon as I told him they played Bermuda Highway in Chicago he bought tickets 10 minutes later ha. He loves that song and likes the new album, so the opportunity to hear the new album with a chance of Bermuda Highway was too much for him to pass up!

Keeping my fingers crossed for him!

AEIOU Jim James LA 5-11-13

[mmjmm]

Although Jim was amazing all evening, this show for me was ruined by the crowd. I have been to 300+ concerts and am a long time MMJ fan. I've been to 7 or 8 MMJ shows, mostly in Southern California. I have also been to many shows at the Fonda, especially recently. I must say that I have rarely encountered a worse crowd.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances we ended up on the floor towards the back to the right of the soundboard with no desire to shove our way closer.  Maybe because Jim had quite a few mellow moments, the bar seemed especially loud, with people talking, laughing, etc. I don't mind noise from the bar, especially at a venue like the Fonda where it can't be avoided, so that alone wasn't the problem, I just noticed more non drink buying/pouring noise than usual.  Also at least half of the people in our area talked though the entire show some people literally had their backs to the stage and were talking loudly to their friends. The people in front of us talked for 90% of the show. The crazy thing was that they seemed to be fans - for the 10% of the show that they weren't talking, they were actually singing along with Jim. At one point they huddled around an iphone and looked through pictures of Jim that one of them just took and discussing at the top of their lungs which one they should post on facebook. My friend and I were completely appalled. I really hope we just ended up in a bad area and the rest of the crowd was better, but I looked around and saw a lot of the same.

I tried to focus on Jim, and Jim was fantastic. The encore was breathtaking. It is a pleasure watching the man work.

I had a blast! No interference. Roll call placed me smack in the front row. Magical night. Thank you!!
