Will we be able to light up in the Beacon?

I'm sure where you are sitting and how rowdy the show is getting will play a factor. Not sure....most of the Beacon shows I've seen have been calmer/sit-down affairs without much in the way of distractions.

I'd agree with this. For the last Allmans run people were lighting up in the Balcony and I did notice a few puffs of smoke down in the Orch but that appeared to be tougher even for one of their shows. Which for the most part was everyone in the Orch standing, as I'm sure these will be too.

Amsterdam Ale House. All 4 nights.

This! Can't wait to meet a bunch of you over this run. This is going to be epic! I may not get to the bar tomorrow but I'm all in for Wednesday. My head is just spinning with the possibilities of how these 4 shows will go down. Is there a prevailing thought about how they are going to spread out their catalog over the nights? What guests may appear? How many new covers? What songs will they decided to extend jams on? So many questions to be answered over the next 5 days. These will be shows 8-11 for me.

I've never had any trouble at the beacon. It's easy but just pay attention to security. If everyone's standing then sit down for a minute. They don't wanna throw you out for smoking so be respectful while you do your business.

I am so jealous of everyone who can go all 4 nights, I'll only be at Wednesday night, but one of the four nights is better than none of the four nights. Can't wait to see what they pull out!!!

itrainmonkeys · Nov 23, 2015, 03:02 PM

I'm wondering if we get 4 different posters....or maybe one to commemorate them all? Hoping for one so I don't have to line up and get in early each night.

Will probably just get into NYC and to Beacon right as doors open tomorrow so will miss the ale house but should be able to make it the rest of the run. Would love to meet some of the folks I haven't yet and re-meet the people I've only had brief interactions with.

New to the forum, not the band - bad etiquette to ask to trade my one Friday for a Tuesday?

Some choice quotes in this article.

http://www.villagevoice.com/music/my-morning-jacket-look-back-on-their-first-nyc-shows-before-their-beacon-theatre-takeover-7932627

"Every show will be completely different. It's exciting to give the big fans a chance to hear songs they maybe never have. I also think we're going to be able to play each song off of all our records."

So stoked!!! See ya tomorrow.

I'm so fucking envious and so bummed I 'm missing these shows. Have fun, you guys!

I would expect a metal detector walk thru. MSG implemented this two weeks ago for the Dead and Company shows and they own the Beacon. I'm not 100%, but if you have a pen you may want to reconsider how you are going to get it in to the show. Otherwise the security is pretty chill if you keep things low and not obvious.

I don't believe pens will be an issue. I went through a detector at Kings Theatre with one as did many friends and nobody had any problems.

yep.. that all but guarantees that Tuesday and Wednesday are going to be INSANE in terms of rarity. I'm sure Friday and Saturday will be great too but they will have to pander to a weekend crowd a bit more and save their hits/heavy hitters...

So, couple the quote about being able to play each song off of each record with the fact that they are not allowing taping.. what's going to happen?

dmmjb · Nov 24, 2015, 10:58 AM

what time are we thinking the boys get on tonight? tickets say 8pm, there's an opener...thinking 8:45-9-ish for the set to begin?

parkervb · Nov 24, 2015, 10:59 AM

ya know, I'm kinda concerned that they will be strict on backpacks coming in. I'm travelling up from VA and only have an AirBnB for Friday night meaning I will need to carry my backpack with me to the Saturday show. I hope its not a hassle, but at least I can get a read on the situation on Friday night.
