I'm with you on that John. Here's hoping something pops up on YouTube soon.  :beer:

You just know they're blowing the crowd there away! Going to make some new fans I'm sure. Good Tickets are going to get tougher, and tougher to get going forward.  :wink:

Danny Clinch was there, though he's seen holding a still camera.  I think this might be slated for a DVD or live release.  I'll take an aud recording.

No offense meant Eric, maybe that was a bit harsh.

I was kinda surprised there wasn't more buzz on this board leading up to tonight.  I understand the excitement and anticipation of the New Years run, and the Obama gig, but man, this one flew under the radar big time.

I have always had a special place in my heart for Levon and The Band.  I feel they have always been extremely underrated.  On top of that, the line-up was busting with talent.

Again, very cool of the boys to be a part of this epic night, really jelous of anyone who was there, it looks to be a super special night on paper.

Trust me, I was bummed all day as the hours passed, and I knew my window for making this was closing by the minute.

I'm still a bit bummed, but I know I did all I could. If I just passed or wasn't interested, there'd be no excuse, and should have to turn in my RC card!  :wink:

Happy for friends that were there, and looking forward to hearing their first hand accounts.

Wrote this on another board:

QuoteAbsolutely amazing. The best part was getting to see My Morning Jacket and Roger Waters share the stage AND acknowledge each other. MMJ was like the pre-headliner to Roger Waters (they played a song together before MMJ left and Waters stuck around).

MMJ killed it, John Mayer was crazy on guitar and played two songs (one was Tennesse Jed and the other was with Ray LaMontagne singing Tears of Rage), Joe Walsh and Robert Randolph absolutely destroyed Up On Cripple Creek (in a good way).


So great. This isn't the order it was in but here was a list of performers. Might be missing one or two:



    Roger Waters
    John Mayer
    My Morning Jacket
    Eric Church
    Ray LaMontagne
    Dierks Bentley
    Joe Walsh
    Gregg Allman
    Grace Potter
    Garth Hudson of The Band
    Marc Cohn
    Jakob Dylan
    Mike Gordon
    Warren Haynes
    John Hiatt
    Bruce Hornsby
    Jorma Kaukonen
    The Levon Helm Band
    John Prine
    Robert Randolph
    Mavis Staples
    Lucinda Williams





Absolutely blown away by this show. MMJ were treated like the rock gods that they are. It was truly amazing seeing all of these legends and talented acts play before Jacket but I guess everyone know that was a perfect way to end the night. The 1-2 punch of MMJ and Roger Waters was just fantastic.


I have some video. The audio may not be that great (haven't checked it yet) but will post what I have soon.

The Jacket just have to play Dixie when they do the 3 night run in Port Chester.  That is just amazing.

Looks like an incredibly special night.

Fucking spectacular night!  I agree that this event definitely flew under the radar on here.  Great to see forum friends YNWA, sassbox, and deathstick!  We also saw Brian (bagpiper) on our way out!
So very grateful to have been able to get to this!  Once in a lifetime!  Ophelia nearly made me faint! And then....Roger Waters....Roger mothafuckin Waters.  I knew that sass had some serious scoop from the night before, and she was kind enough not to spoil it for us, but said it was BIG, like really really BIG.  The anticipation was building all evening, and I knew the collaboration would be epic, but didn't dream it would be THAT epic. 

Thank you YNWA, I am so glad your friend had an interview at NBC yesterday, otherwise I would not have made this show! I hope she gets the job  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

and at the 3 min mark they all look around like, who's gonna sing the next verse?, and when they miss it, piano saves the day.   Nice solo - to someone there, was that Bo? can't tell from the video.

they would play with Roger Waters last night, though I did not know it would be Dixie.

Awesome.  Two of my faves on stage together.

I'd say they made more than a few new fans last night.

Post by: itrainmonkeys on Oct 04, 2012, 12:58 PM
The band definitely won over new fans. I think a lot of that (besides how goddamn amazing they are as a live band) has to do with positioning. Playing after all the legends helps. Being introduced by Larry Campbell as (paraphrased) "one of the best American rock and roll bands" certainly helps and sharing the stage with Roger Waters is a huge boost.


The other thing to keep in mind is a LOT of the performers were older so the energy of MMJ wasn't really prevalent all night. Some of the biggest post-song reactions came from the super high-energy songs from the animated performers. Grace Potter doing "I Shall Be Released" on organs tore the house down, Joe Walsh directed a party by running around stage and signaling people to hit their solo, and My Morning Jacket just took all the love in the room and turned it into loud, high energy, beauty.  There was a definite contrast in the second half of the night which had more oomph!. But they probably made it that way to slowly build to the crescendo of MMJ and Waters.

Looks like from the posted videos, there were some Pro-cameras and camera ops in the building.

To anyone who went, were there projection screens?

Well look at what I found. This is from b102.7 which is a radio station (i'm assuming it's the one that was mentioned at the beginning of the show as sponsoring it or something). Anyway, onto the details:

The show was filmed for a TV special and a DVD and CD release early next year. Proceeds will go to help paying the mortgage for Levon's home and barn in Woodstock, New York, which houses a recording studio and where his Midnight Ramble shows are held.

I had a similar reaction from a good friend who went with his wife. They aren't very familiar with MMJ but he knows I'm a big fan. So the next day he sent me an e-mail: "I have to say, your boys MMJ blew the roof off the joint". This is coming from a huge music fan and  an excellent musician in his own right.

What an incredible night, so glad I went.  Thank you Levon!

I'm hearing from friends that were there who weren't MMJ fans going in, that MMJ blew them away! They are now set on catching a live Jacket show......Well duh! What the hell do you think I've been saying for years!  :rolleyes:

One said "they f*ckin kicked ass"! "Wow".

I'd say they made more than a few new fans last night.
A friend texted me from the show last night and said "I know you're a huge MMJ fan, and I've never seen them before...just wanted you to know that your boys are killing it right now!!"  He then proceeded to remind me about how he's a tough sell and they totally won him over.  Yeah, I think they did the job last night!!

I had a similar reaction from a good friend who went with his wife. They aren't very familiar with MMJ but he knows I'm a big fan. So the next day he sent me an e-mail: "I have to say, your boys MMJ blew the roof off the joint". This is coming from a huge music fan and  an excellent musician in his own right.

What an incredible night, so glad I went.  Thank you Levon!
I love how they're "our" boys!

Yup, that was GE Smith. He played in Roger Waters band during the Wall tour. Drummer Steve Jordan was out there as well for a few tunes which I don't think many people noticed. Some serious talent behind the skins that night!

I've liked the AXS facebook page, they are pretty good about advertising what shows are going to be broadcast that week. I'll keep a look out for it.
