MMJ and The Black Crowes on NYE!

[guest]

In NYC at MSG theater. Book it.

North Mississippi All Stars will be there too.

Is that official? I read on the BC board last night that they are making a big announcement on Monday and this was speculated to be the news.

Sounds like a great show if it happens!

fuckin awesome is right.  now, just need to come up with $400 for the $65 ticket, hotel, and booze.  but, will al be worth it.   ;D

My two favorite bands in the world together on the same night! I may need valium before the show. So who's going??

[tdan]

I desperately hope to get tickets for this show.  I was so pissed when I didn't get to see Mr. Crowes Garden in the Ville earlier this year.

i got the valium but not the enthusiasm for black crowes. jim and co. should just head down to irving plaza. that would shave off about 40 bucks off any expenses.

Thanks, I had been on their board a little earlier but had not seen a post with the link included.  Since I posted my earlier message I have successfully gotten onto their site also.  Wish me luck on getting tickets as I wish you all luck as well.

[JacketGal]

The limited number of fan club-only pre-sale tickets for THE BLACK CROWES' first-ever New Year's Eve show at Madison Square Garden sold out in a matter of minutes — even though nine hours were allotted for the pre-sale — this week through the band's web site (www.blackcrowes.com). Fans of THE BLACK CROWES still have an opportunity to get great seats when the majority of tickets go on sale to the public on Saturday, October 22 at 9 a.m. EST. This show will cap off a hugely successful year for the band who are playing what many have said are the best shows of their career.

In other news, THE BLACK CROWES' management has confirmed that the band — Chris Robinson (vocals), Rich Robinson (guitars), Marc Ford (guitars), Eddie Hawrysch (keyboards), Sven Pipien (bass) and Steve Gorman (drums) — will allow tapers at the show and that fans should be prepared for a few special surprises. This celebration of free-spirited rock 'n roll will feature the band performing their full-length headlining set, plus support from MY MORNING JACKET and NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS.

Currently, THE BLACK CROWES are enjoying a five-night run at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, which concludes Sunday, October 23. Capacity audiences are being blown away by the band's wide-ranging set lists that alternate every night, encompassing songs from THE BLACK CROWES' six studio albums, plus b-sides and unreleased material, alongside special covers that illuminate the band's rich musical heritage.

Wonder if this show will be recorded by Instant Live like a lot of their other shows have been this year? It'd be great if they got the MMJ set as well.

[JacketGal]

I'm sure the Crowes part will be, but the band announced that it is a taper friendly show, so someone will grab the Jacket's set.

[midwesterner]

I have a feeling this show will not be sold through Instant Live because there is just to big an audience.  The way they normally do show with this big an audience is they make them available the next day live at Jazzfest but since this is just one night it will be hard to make that many cds.  However I may be wrong.
