So is MMJ seriously Ray Lamontagne's backing band this summer?

The Palace isn't going anywhere. :)

Hoping to hear some reports from the Cinci show tomorrow night! Will be interesting to see what they've got in store!

[gcanini]

I'm seeing them in Columbus tomorrow night (6/11). I'll let you guys know how it is!

Personally, I didn't love the album, but overall it's chill with some strong moments.

Sounds like it went the way Ray envisioned it. He came out and did a solo set, then the boys joined him for a second. Played over two hours.
Looks like there is a poster for each show. Clinton Reno did a cool one for Columbus tonight.

[gcanini]

Yes, what amskinz said. After the acoustic set they played Ouroboros in full. The guys sounded really great, and they added some longer solo sections onto certain songs. After the album, they play Ray's older, rock-oriented stuff. I'm not familiar with it, but I think it was mostly from the album Supernova. Definitely a more chill than rockin' performance, but when they rocked, they ROCKED. They held back a little bit because it wasn't THEIR show, but it was pretty great. One song reminded me of "Carried Away" and Carl took a solo on it. BEAUTIFUL. Many people sitting around us were asking about the Jacket boys, and I proudly represented the band when I could.

Overall, a very psychedelic evening with some rockin' moments. 7.5/10

Thanks for the info g,

This show was on a lawn in the middle of downtown Columbus, so everyone brought lawn chairs and blankets. 95% of the crowd sat the entire time. I was one of the few standing up during the encore lol

Cant wait to hear ouroboros this summer in person. the album is 9.5/10 IMHO.

The discussion on this has gone cold.  Has anyone been out to the Ray shows over the last 10 days?  I was hoping to read a few more reviews on how the setlists have turned out and how the guys are sounding with Ray.  Travelling to see them in Raleigh in a few weeks in order to hold me over until Lockn.

[WinstonLegthigh]

There's a few vids on youtube from Philly on 6-18. I'm thinking of doing the Chi show so I picked up Ouroboros just now to see what this is all about.

Every time I've seen Ray prior to the current tour, people sit.  My first Ray show was in 2009 and I was baffled by sitting at a concert, but that's what people do apparently.  Who knew?!  The tour opener (Cincinnati) was no different, which I'm sure you've read.  Acoustic Ray opened for Ray LaMonjacket, which was cool.  He played the majority of the "popular" songs during the first set.  Plenty of people left during the second part of the show, which I found amusing.  The sound was great, and I like the new material which is exactly what drove some away.  Supernova was a little cheesy...  We only stood during the encore.  Backgrounds were awesome.

very sweet words from Ray about the guys.

Last night's radio stream is on Dime: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=564817. Anyone with a decent ratio feel like grabbing and sharing? I'd grab it myself, but my Dime ratio is toast

Tomorrow's Boston show will be webcast on Yahoo.  I'll be in attendance so if anyone can record the stream that would be much appreciated!

I think this is the link (?):

I was very frustrated that I could not get the stream to work.  I have Amazon Fire TV and a wired ethernet connection, yet the Yahoo! app said it couldn't get a secure connection and "refused" to display the live stream.  I didn't feel like sitting at my computer in our small, windowless office, so gave up and spent some quality time with the wife.  I'm sure it was a great one and hope someone captured the stream, as well...

Is Carl playing a new/different guitar in the video ? Have not seen playing a Gibson semi-acoustic with MMJ before ?
