With the Boston Pops

[MMJ_fanatic]

welp.  I'm there--'nuff said!

[Angry Ewok]

I am very, very heavily considering buying tickets and hitching a ride from Bonnaroo directly up to Boston. How freaking amazing would that be?

*daydreaming*

[Angry Ewok]

Well, I bought a pair of tickets to the June 21st show, and I've got myself a ride directly from Bonnaroo to Boston... Dreams come true.

[SpacedCowboy]

I'm curious how many people are planning on doing the Bonnaroo to Boston thing.  I know I'm doing it and a couple others doing it as well.  That is gonna be a great week.

Of all the MMJ shows I would really love to see this one.  I bet it will sound amazing.  I like what conductor Keith Lockhart said about it:

Truth be told, Lockhart had never heard My Morning Jacket before BSO artistic coordinator Margo Saulnier recommended the group. ''What I don't like are bands who sound the same on every song," Lockhart says. ''But this band is into a lot of interesting sounds, from blues to hard rock. I listened to them and said, 'We can contribute something.' " My Morning Jacket, whose singer Jim James told us he's always wanted to play with an orchestra, will be at Symphony Hall June 21 and 22

This really does sound amazing!
Yet another concert that I have no chance of seeing & can only dream about *sighs deeply*
Sure as hell hope this turns up as an official CD someday but I doubt it will anytime soon due to the upcoming Live CD/DVD?

Also sighing deeply....

I actually looked into plane tickets as if I could afford it.

[goldengirl]

Well don't worry I won't be going either, sadly..sniff..sniff. :'( Well hopefully they do put out a DVD because this would be an AMAZING show! I am truly jealous of those of you who can go. You'll have to give us full details!

[NHgroove]

ohhh man.... I'm dying here!!! what on earth shall I do??? I think this will be such an amazing pair of shows...
But it's right during the annual rainbow gathering...colorado...  hmmmm do I skip out on my family to see mmj with the boston pops?? can I do both? am I superman?
wait...what am I talking about? I can barely afford the mmj/pj shows in may.... ohhh I'm in deep baby....but if you actually are reading this than you're probably in even deeper!!!!  eh?

[simpy]

just got my tickets for the show. i spoke with someone at the bso on the phone this morning. apparently the floor seats are tables w/ food and drinks. interesting. i am soooo excited about this. anyone have thoughts on songs that might fit well w/ the orchestra. i was thinking strangulation would be amazing with that big swell of music at the beginng and then how it just drops into pure melancholy. i also think wordless chorus would be awesome.  oh and what about freaking dondante. holy shit i think i've got a hard on.

[Angry Ewok]

They've gotta play The Way That He Sings, without a doubt. My heart will melt.

Speakings of hearts melting... Wouldn't it suck if this show wasn't recorded? I'm thinking about e-mailing BSO and MMJ both, asking/begging this show to be recorded.

It'd be an absolute travesty if this show wasn't put on CD/DVD.

I quite agree - this HAS to be released!!!

[corey]

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a DVD of this. If they are putting the Fillmore DVD out this year, it doesn't seem likely that another DVD will be out as well. It wouldn't make much sense unless the management wants to try something new.
While I would fucking love to see this show, I don't see it being officially released.  :(

I could be wrong though. I have been known to be horribly inaccurate before.

[Clarkwork]

There are a ton of songs I would want to here them play, but a few that would be very cool would be Steam Engine, Gideon-with an extended intro, One Big Holiday would be epic... there are just too many to name really.  Wish I was going.

[tomEisenbraun]

strangulation has to be done.

and the bear. think about it. starting out with just that drum and bass line, and then exploding the way it does in the middle with not only a five piece band but a whole frickin orchestra and then dying down to that one last foreeeeeeeeeverrrrrrrr..... with just jim. ohhhh gosh. i wish i could go to this. how much are tickets?

I actually listened to the entire At Dawn album last night with an ochastra in mind and man did it sound good in my head.

If they don't at least put this on CD than I am going to find someone who went to the show and hook them up to my memory extraction/re-insertion device and steal their memories.  As soon as I invent one that is.

[ChiefOKONO]

that is Such an awesome idea!!!!!!!

Yes you gotta email them!!! we should try to contact as many people as possible about recording this show!!!

so pumped, especially since this is my first show. Been listening to MMj for about 2 years, yet they always seem to find a way to play shows around me. Either im away at school and have to no way to get to shows or im away. Finally i have a ticket to MMJ. what better way to kick off my first show w/ an orchestra.

[dragonboy]

Wow, what an amazing first show!
Welcome to the forum rbroady, have a good one!  :)
