Who has got tix for the Birmingham show?

[WillCo]

I've heard that Eliot Morris is really good. He's playing here in Auburn tonight but it's at a bar that's far too fancy for my standards. It seems like I'd already heard Moses Mayfield was playing. I couldn't remember the name at the time.

I also found out that my girlfriend's roommate's boyfriend (who I'm pretty good friends with) is the stage manager for this show. Fingers crossed for some backstage access.

[twilightzzz]

don't worry timmy...everything will be a-ok...you won't have a bad time at our expense...we'll definitely have enough control to pee standing up or your money back...

yes. b-ham only days away.

peace outttttttt

[Timmy]

Twlightzzz,I won't even be at that show.My  only concern was for other fans who might be seeing for the band for the first time and didn't want it ruined by loud drunks or as you put it "The most ragin,drunk ass out of control,obliviously crazy nutballs in the crowd..that's us". And from what I read here I wasn't the only one who has been affected and is still concerned about other fans enjoyment.Have as much fun as you want,just be cool to the others around you.Your goodtime can affect someone elses goodtime.Rock on my brother.

[Drunkre]

I think (think, man, think) that I've seen Stewart Mayfield Project.  They opened for Everclear when I saw them on their "So Much For The Afterglow" tour in Panama City Beach, FL (Spinnakers sucks!  They'll throw you out for slam dancing...at a Everclear concert).  They (Stewart Mayfield) were alright.  Kind of RAWK.

[ycartrob]

Again, how anyone can have an entire show ruined (RUINED!) by some loud drunk guys is way beyond me. Timmy, are you sure you mean that the whole show is ruined?

[antoniostrohs]

ycartrob,I don't think Timmy said anything about an entire show being ruined.Think he mostly was talking about the quiet acoustic portion of the show being ruined.I myself and others here just don't like screaming and hollering at inapropriate moments during some the beautiful songs Jim wrote and I'm sure the band doesn't like it too much either.But more power to you if you would rather hear someone screaming request and profanities during Jim  acoustic songs instead of enjoying them as they were meant to be heard.Yell all you want before or after the songs

[ycartrob]

Antonio, more power to me if I would RATHER hear people shouting and cussing during the acoustic set? My, that's a very far leap from my statment (actually has nothing to do with my statement). I'd much rather have total quiet during the acoustic set (do I really have to say that?), but if someone yells (which they probably will), don't let it RUIN the show, man. I, for one, have NEVER understood why people yell during the obvious quiet times, but it has NEVER, EVER ruined the show for me. Good grief, this ain't the symphony, it's rock and roll. I can imagine Timmy driving to the show (or Antonio) shaking, hoping to God no one RUINS the rock show: "Gee, I hope no one is loud and obnoxious at the rock and roll show tonight..." That doesn't fly in my book (and anyone's book who rocks). Let's pray for silence during the acoustic set and free-for-all rockin' during the rock parts and accept the quality music and don't let ANYTHING ruin a set from one of the greatest hard working bands today! Hail to My Morning Jacket and Viva Birmingham and Viva Athens!!

[EC]

Can I interject by saying that I think we're all saying the same thing, basically?  Antoniostroh's is just sayin' that people can be drunken shits at inappropriate times.  Obviously nobody's entire time is ruined, but some drunken asshole can seriously get on your nerves.  You know what he's talking ycartrob, come on.  I believe antoniostrohs has seen a helluva lot of rock in his life - he knows how to rock.  We all do.  But, just like in a regular bar situation if you're going to the bar to get a drink and some guy keeps giving you a hard time (for WHATEVER reason), it's a pain in the ass, and it can piss  you off.  Same in a rock show - your concentration can be wrecked if somebody's yelling in your ear, or bangin' into you the whole time.

Anyhow, I think that's all anyone is saying.  

[antoniostrohs]

ycartrob,I apologize if misinterpreted what you meant.I just assumed by defending it you were also condoning it.We all like to have a good time and like EC said some people just don't like  drunk people yelling or doing inapropriate things during shows.And yes sometimes I do hope before I go to a show that no one is annoying to distract from the show.I just hope for people to respect others and I tend to do the same.It by no means ruins the total show but what the show could have been.I have been to many a shows and have half the audience pay no attention to the band and talk at the bar.To me thats shows lack of respect for the band and for the other fans who came to listen.That's just me and and a few others opinion.Once again I'm sorry if I took your comments out of context.
Peace and Long Live The Jacket

[twilightzzz]

sweet jesus people. ok. sorry i should have said that me and the fellas were planning on having a really good time.  for some reason, everyone starts thinking about how "their time" and the bands show will suffer.  don't be so pretentious and don't assume that bc i'm from MS that all i do is fuck with people and shout loud obscenities all the time.

my good time is usually self contained to my group. i was just using those descriptive words to insinuate how much fun we gonna be having. timmy. like i said don't worry.

jesus.

yeah, a lot of people talkin throughout the show sucks. But MMJ is too fuckin loud for that to matter, except during the slow ones. that's when you take those people out...bottles to the head.

me and my friends will have good time. maybe that's all i needed to say.

dammit!

can we please just rock and roll?

[EC]

(yes :))

[ycartrob]

twilight, I raise my cup of rock and roll to you....I salute you. Let there be rock!

[Timmy]

twightzzz and ycartrob I'm sorry,all I was trying to do is make sure the show was fun for everybody.Didn't mean to step on anyone toes.I also apologize to the gods of rock n roll for wanting others to enjoy the show as much as me.Please forgive me I'm old and less tolerant.

[SMc55]

I hope you all enjoy the show, you lucky sods  ;)
Every time I see this thread my heart leaps a little then I remember you're not talking about the Birmingham that's near me   :'(

In other news, just read this about the BHam show:
from http://www.al.com/entertainment/birminghamnews/index.ssf?/base/entertainment/111419373234220.xml

Here's Moses Mayfield's site: http://www.stewartmayfieldproject.com/
And here's Eliot Morris http://www.eliotmorris.com/

Apparently you have to have an 'm' in your name to play...

Not quite, oh well.  

[ObservingTheChi]

I have my tics and will be rocking out, but not quite as hard as twilight.

[darkglow]

this is TOMMORROW!! why are you fuckers not talking about this?? i so cannot wait.. the trip there is going to be fun too.. we already have tons of fun "roadtrip games" to play..

one of my all-time favorites is 'actor movie actor' which consists of someone naming an actor and the next person naming a movie they were in and the next person names a different actor in the same movie and then the pattern keeps on.. this sparks alot of random conversation as well.

[Frank Garrison]

Coming from Jackson, MS! Can't Wait! Does anyone know anything about this place?
