Roll Call - Iroquois Amphitheater - Louisville - 6/24/2022

[ranyart]

My preference would be to reschedule the exact same combo of shows/venues. I was really looking forward to both venues and what each had to offer. I understand the indoor sentiment but that's certainly not what lured me to make the trek.

I agree 100% with one addition.  Billy Strings has three sold out shows at Iroquois coming up and obviously MMJ has plenty of demand for shows there so how about adding a show or two at Iroquois followed by the big Waterfront Park party?

Louisville Palace Theatre is a freaking gem.  We were lucky enough to see Circuital there (thank you Roll Call) and we also saw Monsters Of Folk there which was our first JJ/MMJish live show.  If MMJ were to put on a multi night run The Palace it would be amazing.  Have they ever done that?

been pondering the possibilities for rescheduled shows.  assuming they want to stick with friday/amphitheater - saturday/waterfront, it looks like september 30-october 1 would be the first opening. that's 5 days after their final scheduled show in huntsville.

but is that too close to red rocks?  just 5 weeks between multiple night destination shows?

on the other hand, wouldn't they want to get these shows done while the touring machinery is up and running?

or are we sol for this year?

When I bought Jim's first solo album re-issue Deluxe Edition from Bandcamp the other day, I was given the option to send the artist (Jim) a message with my purchase. I suggested that they try to do a 2 or 3 night run at the KFC Yum! Center for New Year's Eve instead of traveling out to Colorado. I doubt he reads those messages, but it's worth a shot. I personally don't want to have to be continually monitoring the weather during the weeks leading up to any outdoor shows. The unpredictability of the weather was also keeping my brother away from the Waterfront Park show. Make the KFC Yum! Center General Admission and put the tickets on sale now.

I get your logic as far as dependability and ticket access for the masses, but the Yum Center is the last place in town I want to see any band. I have not been to an arena show in decades, not counting the NYE shows in Broomfield. That place seemed about half the size as Yum, and sounded perfect. On the other hand, I have walked to the Yum Center to vote during covid, so proximity is a plus. I guess I am spoiled with the small and mid sized venues here that draw some pretty good bands where I have not been tempted to go to a giant NBA sized arena. If weather was not an issue, the new soccer stadium looks perfect for an MMJ show.

Definitely agree w that!!  I love the Waterfront as a venue and was looking forward to the Iroquois.

i really like all of those, but do i want to pay at least $35 for souvenirs of shows that didn't happen? a reminder of the disappointment?

probably won't buy, but i'd take 'em for free.

Hehehe I pretty much thought the exact same thing when I saw the Louisville posters, but we did pickup some for the NYE shows that got cancelled...

100% of profits go to change today, change tomorrow. after reading that it was an easy purchase to make.

Good man Robb. 

I bought the Diptych a while back and I do like the others as well. I didn't know about the profits going to those causes and it's tipped the scales for me towards buying those too.

Most if not all of us took some type of loss for those shows. If buying these helps set off some of it for the artists as well as helps out some good causes then it's a no brainer for me to do a little something to help out.

I doubt I'll ever hang 'em because they never took place but now I'm thinking maybe I'll pick up the Mission Ballroom one and start a little corner of MMJ posters of shows I had tix to that were either canceled or I missed for health reasons. Lol. I already have the Wiltern ones from the Roll Call three pack show VIP that I couldn't get to but was sent the posters anyway.    Hopefully it'll be a small corner of posters and not get any bigger!

Lol. I'm doing the same w my cancelled Bonnaroo posters from last year that will now be accompanied by the Louisville posters! 

Maybe a corner locale would be the perfect spot for these!

I bought all these posters also and like you Eric am not framing them, going in with my canceled NYE posters too. I really like these posters and I'm glad to help out the people that the proceeds go to. My guess is the band still has to pay the artists for these weather or not the show(s) happen. I'm scheduled for the next show in Redmond then the Red Rocks shows shortly afterwards, hoping not to add more canceled show posters to the collection.

Yeah, I got that one too. I like it a lot. I haven't decided if I will frame it or not or hang it in the house or not though. We only have a few show posters hanging up on the walls in the house because our house is pretty small. I have started putting quite a few up in the basement lately though. We painted all the walls white to make it seem lighter down there, so I've been framing the lighter colored ones in white frames to keep it all the same (my wife is more ok with this plan). Most of the ones I've framed and put up are the more cartoon or illustrated kinds with light colors. The only ones up in the main part of the house are the Americanarama limited edition one from the 2013 Nashville show I took my brother to with a drawing of Bob Dylan as a farmer in a field with a tractor in the background. I got this super special poster from JohnnyYac several years ago. The other one is a western styled drawing with Tyler Ramsey and Carl ridding on horses in the old west. It's very cool and has a pretty good frame.

Need to see a pic of that one!

Just received all 4. The steamboat design is dope as is the Status serigraph diptych.
