Fall Tour Dates Posted!!!

Is Louisville Gardens an Arena?  What is it like in there?

I don't what it's like in there.  It holds about 3000 according to wikipedia.  And it's over 100 years old.  Used to be the home of the ABA Kentucky's Colonel's now they mainly have the circus and whatnot.  It's an odd choice of venue but I guess it has the capacity they were looking for.

I don't know if I can make this one.  I'm supposed to be out of town for thanksgiving, but plans may have to change.

One of the highlights of my year is getting news of a Tour coming nearby... I'll definately be hitting the Atlanta, GA show... and probably the Nashville, TN show, also.

[DuDess]

Ooooh, I'm so jealous  :-[

Naah, I'm looking forward for the london-gig.

You are some lucky guys  :)

[PapaJoeBear]

I've gone from extremely happy to really really sad.  No north-west shows at all???? Come on!  They have not played 1 show within 12 hours driving distance from me all year around.  It appears this will be the 1st year in 4 years that there will be no MMJ show is Mr.JoeBear. :( :'(

2 For Dallas!!!!!!!!

Whooooo Hooooooo!

Houston people kind of got screwed, but I think Dallas showed much love when they were down here last november. You have 3 chances to get out of Houston and see the Jacket in Dallas or Austin. And who needs an excuse to get out of Houston?

RYMAN!

[megisnotreal]

I read this, and my day was made.  :D

The Ryman AND Louisville Gardens?

Yes, please.

[tomEisenbraun]

I concur!

[megisnotreal]

One more time:

hell yes!

[Specialist]

wow! this is a dream come true. MMJ at the Ryman. Wow.  I saw Sufjan there a couple of nights ago and it was amazing. He did a couple of songs without any vocal or guitar amplification whatsoever. Imagine Jim doing Bermuda Highway in a similar manner.

I'm really debating hitting up the Charleston show.  I'll be in New York in middle October, then Boston at the end, and if I ration my money and can convince my friend/traveling partner, I might be able to make it to Charleston for the show.  I just wish it was a week earlier.

Fuck Dallas. I'll be there for the Friday show.

Dylan, I am suprised that you have not been in there.  It is indeed an arena which was most famous for the Kentucky Colonels and let's not forget Mid-South Wrestling!  
 
I have had the chance to see many concerts there including Pearl Jam in 1993 and Smashing Pumpkins shortly after where Billy Corgan threatened to kick some guy's ass for throwing shit on stage.  There were seats everywhere except on the main floor.  For the tapers, the sound was best in the very back of the arena if I remember correctly.
 
You can do a google image search and see the seating chart for shows and here is a link to an outside picture.  FYI - it is located just W of 4th Street Live.

I think it was about 1993 when I was there for the Black Crowes show - the one that ended after 2 songs.

[sweatboard]

Shity as that is.......It's also LEGENDARY!!!! someone told me tonight that Marc Ford left the Black Crows AGAIN..... :'(  I saw them with the orginall lineup and it was some kind of magic

[ycartrob]

OK, OK

Knoxville- CHECK
Nashville- CHECK
Atlanta- (puts hands in pockets to count change...)

[sweatboard]

We can't get tickets for Nashville yet though right?  When we can I will be calling the second they go on sale.  I watched Neil Young's DVD Heart Of Gold and it gave me a semi......


"I NEEDED IT MOST" being performed at the RYMAN has been stalking my dreams for like three years now.....and to think it might actually finally happen.

[sweatboard]

P.S. Let's just go ahead and get those tickets for ATL. Tracy.......It's general admission on the floor and I'd hate to see you miss what will probably be one of the last times to see the band in that kind of setting.  I saw the Drive By Truckers at the TN Theater toninght and there were empty seats everywhere, people sitting down with thier hands in thier lap, people leaving halfway through the show, the entire balcony section was more or less sitting the entire show, the first three rows were mixed between people who were REALLY into the music and people that had some sort of connections.  It was a shame.  The Tabbernaccle (sp) is going to be one last chances to experience the rock in it's natural environment.  

[ultravisitor]

Damn it.  WHY does the Chicago show have to be the day after Thanksgiving?  There's a good chance I'll be busy with family from out of town ot that I won't even be in town.   :-[
