Isn't it obvious that it was done specifically for him?

Well yeah, especially since this fest is hitting Seaside Hts. N.J. but sadly no MMJ on the bill that weekend. It could very well be the Yac effect benefitting Iowa!

I would guess with Jacket playing the festival in Camden, NJ in July that would influence them not playing Seaside.

Why is that? Those towns are just about as far away from each other East to West in NJ as you can get. I think the Governors Ball has more to do with it than Camden. They're probably prohibited from playing another fest so close in miles that weekend.

I get that, but festivals are very touchy about where else bands play in respect to their festival. And you're probably right that the governor's ball fest factors in as well.

Yes, what is this Camden festival that is being mentioned here?

gluvmiller · Mar 02, 2015, 02:57 PM

Sorry, I may have jumped the gun. Speculation is the XPN festival at the end of July. Has not been announced yet.

That Gentlemen of the Road tour makes a stop in Salida, CO on 8/21-8/22, with Saturday, 8/22 still being an open night at Red Rocks. hmmmmmm.

MMJ is not on the Salida lineup, though.

Definitely some Basement Tapes songs at this show with Mumford and Dawes on the bill. I hope this is a reasonable drive for you Yac.

I'm doing the exact thing you are doing justbcuzido and vespa....... travel plans in a holding pattern.
Its a 97 minute drive! However...

"Tickets for the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover in Waverly, Iowa go on sale Friday, March 6th at 10AM EST exclusively at gentlemenoftheroad.com/stopovers. Tickets are $199 with no additional services charges or fees. Only two-day passes are available. On-site camping within walking distance of the main stage for the full weekend is free with registration. We highly encourage you to camp with us to enjoy the full Stopover experience."

Tickets are $199 (I paid $140 for a 3-day Forecastle pass). I can drive home each night, so I don't need the "free" camping. I might have to pass on this one, and save up for a couple of headlining show nearby. I was expecting to get a one-day ticket, and if MMJ were Friday night, to pay less than $100.

Who am I kidding? I'll probably change my mind...

I also thought about the potential for some New Basement Tapes tunes during each of those sets.

I might sit this one out...

I attended the Dixon, IL, stop on the first GOTR trek, and it was an amazing experience. Think of a much lower key Bonnaroo. I highly recommend making it out to Iowa!

Sat Aug 22 will not be Jacket's one night at red rocks

Call me crazy but it looks like ticketing buttons have popped up next to the current dates on tour pages...

EDIT: Don't think they were there before. Roll Call VIP option too...

Ah, I assumed it was XPN that people were referring to. I would much rather see them headline Mann. I saw Wilco headline XPN three years ago and while it was good, it was definitely an abbreviated due to the event. Mann is superior to Camden in pretty much every possible way, imo.

Totally agree Angelo. The Mann is where it's at for a Philly show, and let's face it, Camden pretty much is Philly show wise. I doubt there would be a show at each. Most likely one or the other IMO. The Mann gets my vote EVERY time!

I'm hoping for another Mann/MPP weekend!

Solid Sound is announcing their lineup tomorrow as well...

That would be amazing to see Jacket at Solid Sound. Don't think I'll be able to swing that trip. It would bode well for my theory that maybe Wilco would do OBH3 if MMJ does Solid Sound

Stevie · Mar 02, 2015, 06:23 PM

So is the consensus tomorrow then you think?

Fully · Mar 02, 2015, 06:26 PM

They just posted on Facebook the word tomorrow. It's about time. Now are they going to open up roll call membership again? I let mine lapse.

I have forgotten - do my wife and I both need roll call for early entry, sound checks etc or do you get a +1?

I didn't notice if this has changed but you used to get a +1 for early entry with each RC membership.

You did have to be a RC member to purchase the soundchecks, but if you were taking a +1 that was an additional admission charge. My memory isn't what it used to be, and I don't remember exactly what the limit was on soundchecks purchased per membership. For some reason I'm thinking four but I'm not 100% certain. I've purchased two soundchecks a couple of times with my membership but never needed more than that.
