Summer Tour?

[millerjustin]

I just heard from a pretty reliable source that a two-night Nashville run is imminent. Anyone else hear that?

yes

[millerjustin]

New album before this tour?

doubtful - they are in studio Feb-early May and then hitting the road in June - I'm guessing final mix in the Fall in between tours with Album dropping early 2018.  Assuming we may see some road testing this summer

guessing mid-late March - also assuming they are dealing with WU issues before tour rolls out

[wrgcucin]

Counting down the days until mid-late March, then. thanks!

Awesome, any idea when the dates are rumored to be? Would it be in June around EFF?

The thought of them playing at Ravinia just made my heart skip a beat...that place is my stomping grounds. Some of my best memories in the whirled are at that place...and weirdly enough include the likes of Jethro Tull and Peter, Paul, and Mary.

Somewhere in the multiverse, Jacket is playing there.

That Jethro Tull (with Procol Harum) show was amazing. My friend and I had lawn seats but scoped out a spot at the outer rail to watch the Procol Harum set. After they played White Shade of Pale, this much older couple walked to the exit and handed us their tickets saying they saw what they came to see. Turned out, they had second row seats, dead center. Was such an amazing kindness and memory for me.

Jacket at Ravinia would be a dream show.

It's so crazy, because just the mention of this opened up a wormhole of all the legends I have seen on that stage...of all the times spent with my family and friends in every imaginable stage of being...Tony Bennett, Buddy Guy, Robert Plant, Wynton Marsalis, Richie Havens, The Beach Boys, the CSO, and on and on and on.

I don't know that I've ever really reflected on it, but it makes me so happy. It is definitely the venue where I have seen the most shows in my life. Jacket would be so lovely. I would just lay on the lawn and smile. ☺🤗

And that story of the sweet people during the Tull/Harem show, and that we were there at the same time, is just extraordinary. To hear "Whiter Shade of Pale"  was pretty mindblowing live.

Whiter Shade of Pale is such a great song!

And to score 2nd row center seats, wow!!!

Hearing Red Rocks this year is a no go...

woahhhhh???? from where??? I don't doubt you Johnny, but this is a sad buzzkill after all this hype from rumors of MMJ shows

Not official, but someone I trust quashed recent rumors of a Labor Day weekend 2-show run.  I figured folks could focus their energies elsewhere...

Thanks for the insight.  I'll focus my energies elsewhere (i.e. anywhere MMJ will be this summer I will get energized to get to that location).  Nashville seems to keep popping up on this thread.  I've never been there and would love an excuse to check it out.

are you able to confirm if the Peach rumors are true?

[rdylanoconnor]

Hearing Nashville will be 1-week prior to Forest Hills

If its at the Ryman, you gotta go APR.  Everyone should see a band they like at the Ryman at least once in their lives.  Its sacred ground, literally.

[LBSUNFLWR]

More likely I think it would be at the Ascend Amphitheater. Truly awesome medium sized 2 year old outdoor venue right downtown. 6800 capacity. I have been in the pit, in the pavilion and on the lawn there and all 3 are great!! It's an all around awesome outdoor venue. I hope MMJ plays 2 nights there this Summer or Fall.

Though if MMJ plays The Ryman that would be ridiculous! Agree that it's a venue everyone should get to. They would sell that place out in a heartbeat though.

[Shug]

Yeah Ryman is very small for MMJ.  I did not see the Crowes there, they played it in 2008 acoustic and in 2013, too right? 

I saw Wilco there for two nights a few years ago and Tedeschi Trucks Band still plays there, so its not outside the realm of possibility.

[wrgcucin]

Just announce dates already...

[LBSUNFLWR]

I would love to see TTB or Wilco there! The Black Crowes shows in 2013 sold out so fast that I had to buy tickets on stub hub for a small fortune. The best thing happened to me though: the seats I bought were actually obstructed view but the seller on stub hub didn't say so. Stub Hub called me and offered me 3rd row seats or a refund. It was very cool of them. Of course I took the upgraded seats!
