An Evening With MMJ (How does this tour differ?)

[Nikkogino]

Extremely excited for the upcoming Myrtle Beach show.

My question:

With all of this hype over the US tour--An Evening With MMJ, no opening acts, starts promptly at 8:00---I am expecting this thing to be a pretty damn good time.  I have seen MMJ a number of times and they always put on an excellent show.  However, what makes this tour so special?  Why has MMJ chosen no opening act?  Are they playing more songs, is there a ridiculous light show behind them?  Are there puppets on stage?  I guess the main question is- What is so special about this tour that it get's its own name and doesn't need an opening band?  Thanks.

My questions:
1. Are they playing more songs,
2. is there a ridiculous light show behind them?  
3. Are there puppets on stage?  
4. I guess the main question is- What is so special about this tour that it get's its own name and doesn't need an opening band?  Thanks.

1. Yes.
2. Yes. And it's getting better from what I hear.
3. Yes.
4. They are playing anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours, they are on fire this tour and they want the stage to themselves (as do I).

Are you kidding about the puppets?  I hope you aren't.

Anyone else care to talk about what makes this tour different from the rest?

No opening band.

More MMJ songs.

2.5 hours shows.

Evil Urges songs.

That's it bud.

[Mi Chaqueta]

is this(the NY show in particular) their next live dvd possibly?

[Nikkogino]

So were their puppets at the last two shows?  I see that there were in Louisville, but that was a homecoming show and not technically "An Evening With..." show.

puppets at louisville because the puppets were from louisville. no more puppets.

besides, abe lincoln's head fell off during one big holiday.... now thats a sentence I never thought I'd say.

[ycartrob]

they are playing about an hour longer than they usually do. Hence "special".

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

it's an "evening with My Morning Jacket" because your spending an evening with My Morning Jacket.

Let's see how many different people can give the same answer  ;D

So in regards to the puppets one might say..."No dice..."?



Agreed about Honest Abe, it was pretty surreal. Wasnt quite sure thats what I was really seeing.  :o

[Honest Man]

Who gives a rats ass about an opening band! More MMJ!

you're killing me here...what's so special? if you've seen them live and heard their albums-then surely you realize by now they don't need an opening band, they don't puppets or laser light shows--if they have it, it's an added bonus..they are the best live band around and just be glad they're coming to a town near you, go drink your iced coffee and be on your way! chop chop! :P

What kind of fucking question is this?
