My mind is blown right now with all of these multi-night runs and a 3 night run at the gorgeous Chicago Theatre on my birthday week!!!!!!

For those thinking about travelling to Chicago, the Chicago Theatre is beautiful, last time MMJ played there I do not believe there was any pit or GA. There are hotels all around and obviously many bars/restaurants. Close to Millenium Park and even better its summer time! Looks as though tix are $26-$56.

I am going to try and pull off Chicago all dates, Milwaukee (Tix $32.50), 2 night in Minnesota, Forecastle and finally my first trip to Red Rocks in August. It might get a bit pricey but hey my last summer was garbage so it's time to turn things around!


Can't wait to see everyone out on the road this summer!

my only concern with the 3 night run at Chicago is that this part of the "album tour" so I would expect they play a good amount of the new album each night

however, if the album is amazing all good.

I doubt they do a "no repeats" spontaneous curtain show but we will see

I think more than any other issue, the topic of whether or not there will be repeats at A. Chicago and B. the 2 night run cities should be of paramount concern.  I know some of you guys are good at communicating with some of these guys on twitter or email.  Now is the time to utilize those resources!

What about Detroit CHIMMJFAN?

Regarding repeats: 

I just looked back at Chicago 2008 (before they started doing no-repeat shows) and there were 50 songs played in two nights with 26 of them being duplicates (so 13 repeated songs).  Of the repeated songs, 6 were off of the new album at the time (Evil Urges) and the other 7 were the usual suspects (Off the record, Anytime, OBH, Golden, Gideon, Lay Low, Wordless). 

Since then, there has only been one other 2 night run and that was Red Rocks 2012 which had no repeats (i think possibly the first show where they come out and stated it ahead of time).  Then there was the Wiltern, Port Chester, and OBH1+2.   All no-repeat shows. 

So we are in uncharted territory now.  Multiple multi-night runs during an album tour.  I don't know what this all means but if they DO do repeats I sincerely doubt that they will have that many from one night to another again.  They have more fans now and there are two full albums plus extras worth of new material.

My birthday is June 10th, so I feel obligated to return home to Chicago for the show. What day is yours? We'll have to buy each other a beer  :beer:

I'm going to try for Chicago tix, and keep my fingers crossed. Definitely doing MPP, and St.Augustine FL!

St. Auggie is a great little town with lots of good eats, and some cool things to see. Anyone going to this should drop me a line. My daughter lives right across the street from the Amp, and I'm down there as often as possible. It's  a sweet tiny little venue that holds 4,000 max with a nice small pit. Last time they played there in 09 it was only about 1/3 full. I never thought they be back but stoked they are!

I second that recommendation of the St. A venue.  It's like a mini MPP.  I was also at that '09 show and can't believe they'll be back considering how empty the place was.  But MMJ rocked it anyway.

Damn Adam!  Wish I knew you then.  :beer: You're right, Jacket rocked the joint that night but I had the year wrong. It was 2010 and I'll never forget the OBH opener!   :cool:

Any chance you'll be going again?

I would love to do Detroit as well but taking off time from work for the Friday show in Minneapolis, trip to Red Rocks, Friday for Forecastle, and probably cutting out of work early on the Chicago nights is already tough. If I try for Detroit as well I would probably be pushing it, lol. But do know that I am jealous as I would have made those shows as well!

tacos are good

Wish I could make more of the Chicago dates before heading down to Bonnaroo, but looks like I've got an excuse to head to Milwaukee for a weekend!   :thumbsup:

Eric...I'm leaning towards making the drive up from Miami.  I'll give you a heads up if the "leaning" becomes definite.  Hope all is well.

Sounds good!   :thumbsup: All's well here, and hope it is by you as well.

I'll be sure and bring that poster I've been holding onto for ya since Boston NYE!  :wink:  :beer:

I wonder why all of these shows are middle of the week. That definitely kills vacation. Oh well! Still going to Columbus!

3 Florida Dates!!!!!! Heart Pounding!!!  Arms Raised in the Air!!!  Screaming!!!! PUMPOSITY!!!!!

Congrats man, that's awesome.

Now i know there is probably nothing more obnoxious than a New Yorker complaining about not getting a show (Gov Ball doesnt count bc I cant go), but consider this my complaint...  :undecided:

haha but seriously, this is all very exciting and I'm happy for everyone who's getting to plan out their tour schedule already. I'm gonna try my hardest to make it down to Merriweather, which is the only semi do-able date right now

I definitely think Newport is happening for MMJ.  I'm also hopeful that we'll get a New Basement Tapes set at Newport too.

I definitely think NBT will be at Newport. Lines up with Elvis Costello's touring schedule.

Since they aren't coming to Texas yet, I am definitely going to travel to at least one show, and maybe drive to the New Orleans show (only 4 hours or so from Houston).  To anyone who has been to any of these venues on the current slew of dates, is Red Rocks the obvious choice?  That's what I'm leaning towards.

Also, with a deluxe Roll Call membership I get the laminate that gives me some special access to shows? Does anyone know how this works exactly? Say I'm buying 2 tickets under my name, am I the only one that gets access or do they have to have the same membership?

Thanks!

In past years you'd  be the only one who can pick up the tix. They were non transferable, and usually held at Will Call.

For shows with an early entry, the RC Deluxe membership came with a laminate that allowed you and a +1 early entry. Your +1 didn't have to be a RC member but don't know if that will still be the case. I'd assume so but until the first ga show or a confirmation from management I'm only going by what past tours allowed.
