HOUSTON! FINALLY THEY RETURN!

[spiderman75]

Just purchased my ticket through ticketmaster using the phone. wanted a reserved ticket. I was told all they had was GA. Asked him to look again considering tickets were not on website. After 3 times finally got what I wanted section 204 Row A. Just joined to let people know in case it helps anyone. Yes I have been lurking forever.

yeah ticketbastard raped me. $45.80 for a $30 ticket! i'll go to the end of the earth and use my last borrowed dime to see these boys, but it really burns me to hafta deal with those fees. i had to use the automated system over the phone and when they asked me for the event they accepted the words "my morning jacket" as "bon jovi" and "utah jazz" before putting me on hold for 10 minutes. its bad enough to have to fork it over in fees, but don't add insult to injury by accusing me of being a bon jovi fan!

[slimsloslider]

in all seriousness though, i'll see you guys there. new tunes!!!!

[bignewt]

Thanks!   I *think* I got tickets!   I did get a confirmation number, so I guess that's good!?   I got two tickets in Section 205, can't remember the row, and seats 16 & 17.   I am wondering how big this place is, maybe 2-3K?   I probably won't be taping unless it's a taper-friendly venue, but maybe some of the more hard-core people with balls can get their equipment in!?   Thanks for the information, man!

I have been to a few shows at Verizon and as long as the band allows taping the venue allows it. There were three tapers at Wilco. I was sitting next to one of them and he was hiding his stuff. The other taper I met after the show said he showed them his equipment at the door. He told them it was to tape the show and they said ok. Would love a copy if you do. Pretty excited it will be the first time seeing them.

just wanted to add that tix are $33 if you buy directly from the box office. they were open til 5 this past saturday, so that was a pretty convenient time for me to drop by. saved over $30 total on 5 tickets by not going the ticketmaster route.

I'm thinking about going to this show, what's the best bet for a no hassle ticket purchase? Is that Ticket Master # still the one to use?

So do we know if this show will in fact be taped?  Cant wait!  It's been almost 18 months since a MMJ show for me!!!

And now it will never stop...

BUT TONIGHT....showtime baby! SHOWTIME!

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

Showtime!


i wonder what the boys are doing right now?

[Crispy]

Right now they're reviewing the Yanni 'Live at the Acropolis' DVD in preparation for their triumphant return. Or maybe it's John Tesh at the Forbidden City.

I can't believe I didn't take the day off for the short 9-hour drive to Houston today. :(

[The DARK]

Just think! By the end of tonight some of us will have laid their ears upon NEW MY MORNING JACKET SONGS!!! :D

[The DARK]

So, when do you think the first reports will come in?

i'm waitin' with you pal...who knows, it could be a late show.  For the pleasure of the lucky few attending, I sure hope it is!

the artist formerly known as jim james was in full force tonite in is 'butt-less' purple sequined pants. unbelievable.

wilco friday
centro-matic/SSG saturday
mmj monday

the jacket would have blown any of them off of the stage. i love wilco and think that they are an amazing live band but i think i've got to give it to mmj, at least in this round.

the new songs sounded great. definitely some falsetto action.

cheers,

I noticed Jim's rocking the double mics these days.  Was there a noticeable difference between when he sang through and did not?

yeah i think there was a difference. he seemed to be singing out of the one to his left most of the time. maybe a little more cowbell out of the right hand one, i mean reverb. could just be that i had lost my mind by about the 2:00 minute mark of the 1st song.
