A T L Roll Call (biatches)

[ALady]

Now that the Rites of Spring lineup is out and looking pretty lackluster, I might be in for this one...

[sköldpadda]

Chastain is a big park located in the middle of some very nice neighborhoods.  There is a golf course, horse park, baseball fields etc. but because the ampitheatre is sort of along one edge you ultimately have houses almost directly across the street from the venue.  If you do a satellite view on Google maps you'll see what I mean.  That's why they are so strict about the sound, etc. as the band is practially playing in someone's backyard.

That said, it is a fairly intimate venue that's surrounded by trees, etc. and so long as we don't have a cold snap it should be fantastic, just won't be an epic, all nighter.  

I know about all that, how it's adjacent to Buckhead, I'm just curious if anyone's ever sat in, say, row BB there, and how the sound was...

I had seats about that far back one year for Lyle Lovett and his Large Band and sound was fine.  They don't get too many harder rock acts there though so its possible quieter songs will be fine but songs that are supposed to have more punch will be somewhat lacking.

As for that Wilco show, I was like 4th row up from the PIT in the seats on the side.  I thought it still sounded great, but yeah, just not crazy loud.  And I am one who likes it turned all the way up.  But to me that's the only downside to the venue, and it's not a big one.

[sköldpadda]

Alright alright, you have alleviated my worries somewhat.  Must have faith in the Jacket...  The venue does look really sweet otherwise.

[Bug]

My husband and I will be at the show. Orch Row D seats 6-12. Have a friend coming in town from NYC and more from Asheville. Don't know if Chastain will top the Tab or Fox shows, but damn sure looking forward to seeing the boys!

Look for the white boa :)

May hit the Brickstore pre-show for a few drinks as well.

I'm driving from Nashville that morning, with up to 3 seats available if you need a ride.  Going to Raleigh, NC the next morning to catch a flight home, so I must leave kinda early, but will take folks with me if you need a ride north.  

Any thoughts on preshow gathering sites?  

Its 8:08 pm EST.  Yim should be melting the hearts of L'ville for this Valentine's Day.  Can't wait to hear how it was.

Peace,
johnnYYac

someone convince me the 6 hour trip to this show is worth it on top of Charleston and Raliegh. i also still don't have a ticket

[johnnYYac]

Um, here are some reasons to consider:

1. its My Morning Jacket live
2. its My Morning Jacket live
3. its My Morning Jacket live

I luck out by having this whole week off and an understanding wife.  The Atlanta show is on a Friday night.  I'm not all that impressed with the venue, but I'd keep going back to the first three reasons above.  I'm not sure what kind of tix are available, but they're gonna be back a ways.  Does anyone have tickets to sweeten the deal for mlbrady89?

What are your concerns about the venue, JohnnYY?

What are your concerns about the venue, JohnnYY?

Well, some have said there's a noise ordinance.  I thought I read the show could only go so late.  I'm not a fan of these outdoor pavillion venues with lawn, half under roof, cookie-cutter concert sites.  I like old theaters, natural outdoor venues, stuff like that.  Can't say exactly what prompted me to say what I said.  Of the three shows I'm doing this go-round, the Atlanta show venue has me least excited, that's all.  Set me straight.

I wish I could set you straight.  I've never been so I'm just curious.  There is some interesting venue choices on this tour.  I get the feeling they're going to dive more into their back catalogue for some reason,  which is a-ok with me.  I'm 100% certain* we will be hearing The Bear in Atlanta.  And really, is there a better song to be played at an open air venue?  No.

_{*100% certain = wishful thinking.}
