OBH 2022

[Clarkwork]

What a great time that was.  Wish the result was all for Jacket, but that would be my only complaint. 

[Bulldog]

Back in the real world.....ugh was SUCH a great bunch of shows.

MMJ was on point as usual for me at least, one thought "IF" they do a 6th, why dont they go for 4 nights? they have the material.

PJHB was outstanding late night set was phenomenal only complaint would be not enough jams with MMJ. My hunch was with them doing the late night logistically it didnt work for last night of shows?

Lord Huron stepped up BIG time in my book. Heard they are not touring anymore? Hadnt seen them before but if thats accurate what a shame, good live band with some damm talented musicians.

Brittney rocked the joint and was just a joy to see

Black Pumas were a HUGE surprise for me, hadnt expected them to play as well as they did.

Trampled by Turtles were good, but not great. Hurts me to say a local band didnt deliver, but at least to these ears it just kinda all sounds the same. Luv the musicianship and Dave's got an outstanding voice but just didnt do it for me like I had hoped.

Had a blast, the people were awesome (as always) the resort was serviceable. That said, I heard from CID we had a little over 1/2 what Phish had (walter looking to you here for input), honestly I would prefer they stay with the smaller more intimate spots with 3k Could 9 will always be first in my eyes but I just like to root for the underdog.

Such an amazing experience...again! I try to avoid all of the rankings and comparisons of shows and such, but of the 2 OBHs we have been to, OBH2 and OBH5, OBH2 easily gets the nod on purely the music experience. But having a much deeper crew this go around, the fun factor was through the roof! Although agree with others, much prefer the smaller/quaint feel of the Hard Rock environment.

While not necessarily a huge fan of the song (certainly don't dislike it!), Lucky to Be Alive just felt absolutely perfect as an opener that night. Song placement just felt right...and it all just felt right. I felt lucky to be alive! And there in that moment!

I would say the attendance being about half of that of Phish is pretty accurate. It was night and day overall experience. Just a different crowd too...phish brings a whole different level of "pedal to the metal" with the scene. I've been seeing Phish for going on 30 years and they are my band, but my wife and I both agree that in the future we would be far more likely to attend OBH than Phish Riviera Maya...for multiple reasons, but the whole vibe and feel of OBH is just far more relaxing and friendly. And there is zero chance we would ever to the 2 back to back like we did this year (if the two happened to line up like this again). It was just exhausting. But glad we did it. I would not have been able to live with myself had I missed Trey come out with MMJ! That was f'ing amazing. We are however doing MMJ Red Rocks>Phish Dicks this summer. But there will be 4 days in between where we plan to work from our Airbnb and relax in Denver.

Just gotta love the positivity and friendliness of the OBH/MMJ crowd. Nothing else really even comes close to that feel!

Not so oddy the CID rep said pretty much the same thing about the OBH crowd, the guy I was talking to couldnt have been happier to see us close out the series and echoed your sentiment.

Thanks Walter for that info and honesty.  Your last posted answered a bunch of questions I was curious about (crowd size, vibe, music, and the long duration of your stay there).

4 nights of Jacket would be epic - It would take this event over the top, I'm not sure I could handle it but I would find a way!

Lord Huron has a massive 2022 tour planned. Haven't seen anything about them stopping

Just got an email/survey from OBH. This statement was included:
A free audio download of all My Morning Jacket performances from One Big Holiday 2022 will be made available next month. Instructions on how to download will be sent to you at that time.

THERE IT IS! Thanks for posting, I was close to organizing a mass email campaign to make sure it happened :)

That's such great news.  I really wanted to listen to these shows again.  Sometimes when I'm there, I feel so happy and am in such a zone, that I don't know if I really hear everything!!

[bobmono]

For those who attended - don't forget to provide feedback to CID, in order to improve the event.  Let's try and get the ball rolling on 4 nights of Jacket starting next year at OBH!!!

Strand of Oaks was great (love Tim Showalter)

Didn't want to start a new thread to get people's hopes up yet. But just saw Widespread Panic just announced Panic In La Playa for 2023, when was OBH 2022 announced? Should we expect 2023 to happen?

Yes, no reason to think OBH 2023 won't happen.  OBH is pretty much the last of the all-inclusive festivals that happen (some start in early December, then they go until early March, when OBH was).  Heard at OBH 2022 that MMJ had a 5 year deal at Moon Palace, so 2023 is highly likely.

[MMJTX]

I did just go back and check and the first email announcing OBH 2022 came on May 13th 2021, so we are a bit behind if they follow the same scheduling and assuming OBH is in March 2023

[Jrbelger02]

Any news for next year?

[Bulldog]

Well I will say it gives me hope that in looking at the CID site they havent announced any shows for Mexico yet, so I'm thinking we still have a chance.

Dates for Hootiefest and Crash My Playa have been announced.
