Jim is in pain and I hope he feels better

[pattilovesmmj]

I kind of thought that maybe he was wearing a back brace because he looks a little fuller around the waist as if he might be wearing one.  I thought that also because of his new loser fitting psychedelic jacket.
Jim's health (and the rest of the boys) is priority #1.
Feel better and be happy JIM

It seems some on this board want any and all topics of Jims health to die off.  I personally think they're not really reading what Jims been saying...im taking it seriously until he says its not as bad as he said but until then im keeping fingers crossed , good vibrations and karma to Jim and the other guys.

I broke my back in 2009 and had 4 vertebra fused.  I can tell you that having back pain is about the worst kind of pain imaginable. I hope he takes it easy.  Even if he sat in a chair like BB King, they'd still be the best live band out there today.

Staying positive; I'd like to think they wouldn't be offering all these dates up (Las Vegas packages, etc.) if there was a big issue, knowing people are paying to travel on these trips. Of course, anything can happen so hoping JJ just chills on the mic and sings his ass off into the beautiful universe. Carl can take care of the dance moves this go-round.

I have been having similar thoughts lately.. that there was a reason for the big coat.  His posture did seem unusually upright at OBH and i noticed it at the time but didn't think much of it.

When I saw his  mounted flying V on his solo tour, I wondered if perhaps it was to give his back a rest...

I watched CF and Spring from last Thursday. I think he looks fine.

If by fine you mean he didn't move a muscle the entire show and didn't sit down at the in-store the next day, then yes.  I suppose he is fine.

And that is no bueno...

I didn't say he was 100%, but people are jumping to some far fetched conclusions on here.

Fingers crossed that we're just jumping to conclusions...  Hope Jim is healthy and feeling well!

I thought he looked weak and moved like an old man in Athens. Though, he sounded great!

[subinai]

while he isn't moving around the stage like he has in the past, he didn't seem to be that bad in the Hangout webcast

He didn't even move his foot in time with the music at KCRW show.   He was so much better in Athens & Knoxville it was great to see.  Definitely no running around or sliding on his knees.   No crazy head rubbing with Carl but he did walk over at one point and lay his head on Carl's shoulder.  :)   

I think we should expect slightly shorter shows than in the past.   And they will  be amazing!

No one is jumping to conclusions nor is any of this far fetched. This is how shit works when you injury yourself. You take it easy.

At hangout he looked reserved. Not saying good or bad. Just like he was stiff. I mean the Victory Dance was epic but he was not as mobile as he used to be.

There could be a couple of things at play? He could be hurting or he could be recovering and taking it slow. I think the latter maybe? One of the posts above is right, they have a BUSY two years ahead, especially with another album. Hell their ambitions are sky high right now. Especially with an extensive tour going across the US and Europe within 7 months. Makes sense if he understood that to accomplish the next two years, he HAS to take it easy on these shows...which are amazing regardless.

Idk, I just hope he gets better

[Stevie]

My theory is that if he can't move around a lot he's still going to need an outlet for his boundless energy and enthusiasm..  at Knoxville it seemed like he channeled that into his vocals big time.  What a show.

Jim is addicted to cats...hes losing it...he looks aghast with the fever of a cat obsesse
