Next Tour - who should they tour with?

[zanjam]

I'm thinking Tame Impala/Portugal The Man

Yes.  Both fantastic choices.  But they both might be getting too big.  That tour would have to happen now, I think.

I am a huge Futurebirds champion right now, so that would be my vote.

That would not suck.

I don't know if Alberta Cross has been mentioned yet, but I'd love to see them as an opener for MMJ.

MMJ should just play two sets.  Do a Band tribute show before the actual Jacket show and donate some of the ticket sales to Levon's barn.

Alabama Shakes?

Alabama Shakes?

That would be great but it won't happen.  Alabama Shakes are too big to open for MMJ.

Alabama Shakes?

I really have no need to see them again until they release a new album. (Disclaimer: I'm going to see them with my sister because she asked me to go with her, and we haven't seen a show together since Loverboy when I was in seventh grade, 1981.)

I'm with you. At forecastle, my 3rd Shakes show, I was bored. They got way way way over hyped and played for having only one album. I'm totally burnt out.

Here here, I have now seen them 3 times. These were shows where they headlined (no fest sets), the longest they have played was just over an hour. hour and 15 to be exact. I know MMJ has spoiled me with long shows, but to charge what they did and only play that long, not worth it to me anymore.

So until they release more music, or start playing longer, I have no plans on spending money on their shows.

Would love DT to open for them.

Ignignokt's opinion of Loverboy

Hopefully they were just as good in 81 as they were in 85.

I also really like the Wilco/Jacket tour idea!

ChiefO, you are psychic.  SO IT HAS COME TO PASS!

[ms. yvon]

What about having no one open and we could have a two set Jacket show with all the songs we've ever wanted to hear??

:o ;D

this ALSO happened.  wow!

[ms. yvon]

Ans how can I forget Charles Bradley, Lee Fields, and The Roots.  Great possibilities for covers.  Har Mar Superstar abd The Heavy would be great, too.

YES YES YES!  please start booking these dance parties now.
