According to interview on jsonline.com, they will tour this summer with Dylan and "a third beloved band". Will not stop in Milwaukee but no other details.

:shocked: Wow. :shocked:
Nice scoop.
holy shit
Interesting...
Can't see Dylan opening for anyone, but can you really imagine having to sit through Dylan after MMJ? It'd be like chugging some OJ after brushing your teeth with some really awesome toothpaste.

No, I wouldn't really look forward to that, but would have to sit through it in the hopes of getting a possible collaboration. However if after the first show or two together there weren't any,I'd be out of there after MMJ.
He says they will be opening for Dylan, but then does say "hopefully we get to play something together."

I did that, twice, in 2007! It was very much like you imagined here. With the addition of not being able to understand the OJ and it not tasting like any OJ you've ever had before, and being surrounded by withered fanatics of the incomprehensible juice.
I heard from a reliable source that the 3rd band is Wilco.

That's big news. I doubt there will be a collaboration. I remember an old article when Jim discussed opening for other artists. Some were friendly and great. Dylan, on the other hand, was someone they opened for but never even met. I think Jim said something along the lines of never being in the same room with him and never "smelling" him.
Whoa

same with Drive-by Truckers, don't think any of them even saw him or if they did, it was for a minute and no convo ...(although lynzz from this forum got to speak to him i think! that's another story)
should be a ticketing nightmare. i hope the venues are cool.
Are we talking JJ solo opening for Dylan or MMJ? Wasn't Dawes supposed to be opening for Dylan this summer? Maybe they're the third band?
My Morning Jacket will tour with Bob Dylan this summer, according to an article in Milwaukee's Journal Sentinel. In the interview, Jim James mentions that "My Morning Jacket will be on the road with Bob Dylan this summer," along with a third "beloved band." James appears in the 2007 Bob Dylan biographical film I'm Not There. My Morning Jacket also played a few Dylan covers during a 2007 show at New York's Beacon Theatre tied to the film. They regularly played Dylan's "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You" for several years and occasionally pepper in other Dylan tunes.
James is currently touring in support of his first solo album. Dylan will spend this spring with another modern roots act, Dawes.
For more on James—and his thoughts on Jerry Garcia—please read our recent site interview.

How can MMJ open for Dylan? I'd much rather see a 3 hour set with MMJ versus a 45min-1hr set with MMJ and then Dylan. Dylan is great, but he is past his prime, and I do not understand why they're opening when they don't have to. If the Wilco thing is true, same goes for them. Unless the concert starts at 2pm and each band plays for 3 hours! Either way, I still want to see these 3 bands, so I'll stop ranting.
Still holding out for a solo MMJ show in Louisville this year.
I love how Jim loves Milwaukee. Got to meet and hang out with him for a bit yesterday. Shooting the show tonight for Relix Magazine. I put on my big boy pants for this one. I know I'm going to be blown away.
As far as a Dylan/MMJ tour, I guess I'm ok with it. Love Dylan's music, but he's so hit or miss.

MMJ may be the greatest live band out there, but Dylan is an institution and a legend. The set's probably going to be shorter, the tickets more $ and the crowds less MMJ centric but it's an honor for them and it'll be a chance for more people to hear them----
And my friend saw Dylan last week and it was the best he's ever seen him ..so you never know.

I understand Dylan is a legend, I try to preach it to my friends who try to tell me that he is awful and that he doesn't know how to sing. I fucking love Dylan. I just guess I'd rather see some long MMJ centric shows. Either way, I will be going to this if a show pops up near me. Especially if Wilco is tagged as the third act. This show would be comprised of one of my favorite classic rock/folk musicians and essentially my two favorite modern rock bands (MMJ being my favorite band period). How could anyone pass that up?
Also note: Jim, Jeff, and Dylan on stage together for Like a Rolling Stone would be killer.
I'm very interested to get further details on this. So many questions right now and I'm trying to make sense of this! A full set from all three bands seems unlikely, but to me, that idea is not only the most interesting, but the most logical. It's not like MMJ or LEGENDARY BAND X need the exposure of opening for Dylan. So it seems like this should be a money-making tour. Make it kinda like a traveling mini festival or something. I know other bands -- like Mumford, for example -- are doing this sort of "festival in a day" tour and the ticket sales have been phenomenal. So this would make a lot of sense to me.
If its just two openers (one MMJ and one BAND X) and then Dylan, it seems like that ground has been tread before and would be cool, but would dampen my excitement considerably.

:cheesy:
For some reason they were the first band I thought of when I read the article (maybe it was just wishful thinking).
Caseydog, I have had similar experiences with Dylan, loved him on some of his co-billed shows with Paul Simon and then with Phil Lesh & Friends, but then saw him at the Auditorium just himself a few years back and walked out.
If the third band is Wilco, then what order does everyone play? I think a min-fest like the one oistheone mentioned makes sense. I can't wait to find out the deal. Dylan is a legend and would play last.
I'm with EverythingChanges as far as preferring a 2.5 hour show like "an evening with MMJ" headlining tour. But you gotta take what you can get..... hopefully 90 minutes, which is clearly better than nothing.

This.
What if (and this won't happen) Dylan, MMJ, and Act Numero 3 didn't open for one another. Instead they all played at the same time, alternating between each bands' songs. There would be like an upwards of 10 people on stage, but it would be sweet nonetheless.
Also, since MMJ is opening for the greatest folk musician ever, anyone think their set will be more geared towards their older tunes. TTF/AD stuff? One could only hope.
Would be an awesome tour if Wilco were the 3rd band.
I would suspect this will be an amphitheater tour only.
My guess would be a 10 show northeast tour:
Camden
Saratoga
Merriweather
Hartford
Great Woods
Jones Beach
Bethel
Ohio
Is the mini festival thing even possible? If so, then I would love to be there for that.
I could see MMJ opening for both bands; Wilco is pretty big.

Yes please, lets see Nels Cline jam with Jim and the boys.
what sucks is Dylan is very anti-taping, so i doubt many of these shows will be taped :\ unless someone uber stealths it.
A couple of thoughts:
In '03 Dylan toured with The Dead and opened for them at Darien Lake/Buffalo. It was more like a double headliner with Dylan going first and then joining The Dead on stage for a couple tunes. It worked really well. Dylan also played first for Phil Lesh and Friends in Toronto in '00.
I could see that happening here. Not that MMJ are better or anything but that they are a more energetic band who would probably play longer and going last would make a lot of sense.
With regards to rumours of Wilco playing, too... My old man, alienlanes, was out for lunch yesterday with a musician who is very close to Wilco (I have to keep that all as anonymous as possible or he'll murder me) and when discussing upcoming stuff playing with Dylan and/or MMJ didn't come up at all. That might not mean anything, and it might only mean that Wilco hasn't been confirmed yet and are still haggling about guarantees or schedules, but as of yet, it's a strong nod that Wilco are not on this tour as of yet.
It's probably a Dylan headlining tour, but I'd love for it to be how some of the all day summer shows were back in the day. A touring mini fest if you will, with each getting pretty much a full set.
Some of those included:
Gary Wright, Frampton, and Yes
The Clash, Santana, and The Who
Blonde, Elvis Costello, and Genesis
And not to mention the Dylan, and The Dead 1987 summer tour. :cool: :thumbsup:
First, the events in Boston and now news of MMJ/Dylan. Clearly, I will be getting nothing done at work today. (Am I even awake?? This all seems so surreal....)

This would be the coolest. Almost like a Ringo Starr and the All-Star Band shows. Those have always been really awesome in my opinion as everyone just jams together. Would Dylan go for that? He did at the Grammys with Mumford & Sons & the Avett Brothers.

Minnesota in early July sounds nice :beer:
also, expect the order to be: MMJ->Wilco->Dylan
i really hope they start super early so each band can get 90 minutes, but guessing it might be 60 for both MMJ and Wilco

Thank you, Penny, for that response. Dylan is practically an entire genre of American music all by himself, past his prime and completely incomprehensible or not. I would never expect a non-Dylan fanatic to enjoy a Dylan concert these days, and it will be hard to see a shorter MMJ opening slot show, but the headlining slot goes to the artist with the most historical status. Dylan's been doing it for 50 YEARS!

i wonder if this will start between jim's last regular show and newport or after newport, which would be almost august.
I would expect this to start mid to late august and minor league baseball parks will mostly be the venues.

HAHA! Glad to see this rumor still has legs. :grin:
Would love for this to happen (Wilco, Bob, and MMJ), but I just don't see it. I also don't see Wilco opening for MMJ. In terms of draw, it goes Wilco--Bob--MMJ, most to least. This is certainly true in the Midwest. Bob doesn't draw like he used to because of his uneven performances.
Wilco and MMJ seem to play the same venues. Down here at least.
Quote from: Cameron on Apr 19, 2013, 03:39 PM

yeah it's awfully close... Wilco tend to do multiple night theater runs here more than MMJ, but it usually ends up being about the same number of tickets sold.
Wilco could definitely outdraw My Morning Jacket here in Minneapolis, but in most markets it's probably neck and neck.
Not a rumor it's MMJ Wilco and Dylan its confirmed for at least one amphitheater!!!

This is on MMJ's FB page as well as Dylan's. Does this mean it is an actual moving festival where each band will be able to play long sets?! I NEED TO KNOW!

Hope this pans out, but count me as one who's out after MMJ if they're not headlining. Never been a Dylan fan or Wilco for that matter. Plus I can see the ticket situation being crazy given three different fan bases vying for tix.

I used to love wilco but really tired of them over the last few years. I saw them on their last tour and was pretty bored for most of the show. Last time I saw dylan it was fucking terrible. I love dylan and listen to him all the time but it was awful. All that said I would not miss this tour if it comes close to me.

From reading through this thread I'm surprised that so few people seem to enjoy modern-day Dylan shows. Sure his voice is fried, but he can still be very expressive with it in his way, his band us top notch, and it's freakin' Bob Dylan singing some of the greatest songs ever.
I'll admit that his shows aren't really designed for the casual fan, but if you are a hardcore Dylan fan and familiar with his music, his shows can be incredible.
That being said, I just saw Dylan this last week (for probably about the 30th time) and it was one of my least favorite shows. Charlie Sexton is now gone from the band and I didn't like the lead guitarist that was brought in to replace him nearly as much. Also, the show just seemed to lack some of the magic that Dylan performances can have. I'm certainly willing to give him another shot, though, particularly with MMJ and Wilco as part of the deal.

I think you just summed up how I, perhaps many of us, feel about Dylan. I'm not going to try to convince someone who doesn't get that it's BOB DYLAN that it's BOB DYLAN. And yet, at the same time, he is not always on top of his game anymore. I still respect him greatly.
It's fair to say that the quiet year we thought was coming will not be quiet at all.....
My guess is 6-10 amphitheaters July-August and i hope they hit Saratoga to make it easy for me....
And then shit will get insane for year-end
I think my head would explode if I had the chance to see all 3 at 1 show. My head almost exploded when I first heard the Wilco rumor. I saw Dylan a couple summers ago at Montage Mtn and thought him and his band sounded great. His band was tight as shit. I look forward to seeing him again.
Didn't I read somewhere that a 4th band is supposed to be added to the mix? I know Dawes is opening for Dylan so maybe them? Either way this is the best news I've heard all week.
I sure hope the band gets close to a full show, I don't feel like paying $120 for an hour long MMJ set of just Wordless Chorus, Victory Dance, Gideon, First Light, Circuital, Touch Me Pt. 2 and One Big Holiday :undecided:
I'm hoping they do it semi-festival style, where each band gets a 2-hour set. I'm also hoping the 4th band is Dawes, as I've yet to see them and I like some of their tunes, but there are plenty of great young Americana bands that could fit the bill.
Wilco is a definite from what I'm hearing, haven't heard anything about a 4th band but who knows

I'm with you on this. I'd go, but if it ends up being an hour long set like you described, I seriously doubt I'd do more than one show.

Where? That's super doable for me. :grin:
Anyone really know if we are looking at a longer all day show? Or something that will result in super shortened sets? Or when we might hear the announcement with more info?
This seems like speculation to me, and nothing definite here, but according to this they might rotate closing the shows among the bands.

Is Dylan closing then, or are the speculating that Wilco/MMJ switch off? It doesn't matter to me who closes if each band gets to play a semi-lengthy set.

The link appears to be broke now, but it speculated that the three would possibly rotate closing.
rotating would be cool... wilco and MMJ are my 1 fav bands so either way I would be one happy chappy.... praying for a philly area show!! I would even do camden for this one!

There was a typo in the original link.
If the rotation thing is true, I hope they announce who will close each date. As much respect as I have for Dylan, MMJ and Wilco are in their prime and will close the show on a much higher note.

agreed! If this results in another Atlanta-esque set list every night for nubies, I'll be one and out.
However, if they rotate closing sets, then there may be some sort of luck involved for those assholes showing up at the right show.....an MMJ crapshoot, if you will.

Now we're talking. Looking forward to seeing so many of you again this summer!
Wilcos page on fb has announced a couple smaller bands. Im so confused.
Are the other bands going to play at small stages somewhere near the amphitheater while the three headliners play? How can they fit all of these bands in one night? Are they playing past midnight? I can only hope.
Richard Thompson and Ryan Bingham will both be great additions to this. I really hope I'm able to make one of the dates with Thompson -if I'm able to make any of them.

I'm sure we'll be getting the deetz soon, and I understand the excitement, but until then, perhaps a yoga session, or a Valium? :grin:
The wilco Facebook says details revealed Monday at noon and includes #toyotaparkchicago. Chicago works for me.

You're a better person than I am, ericm.
How can more artists play at select venues when there is barely enough time for Wilco and MMJ to get proper set lengths!?
I'm hoping the other bands play on a different stage while the headliners play on the main stage.
Typically amphitheaters have a small side stage right?
Man that yoga session didn't last long. :wink:
Perhaps a nice stiff drink will do the trick instead? :grin: I know it's early, but it's five o'clock somewhere. :beer:

Haha, funny thing is, my girl has actually been trying to convince me to do yoga with her for like a week now. Not because I've been freaking out about this tour, but because she thinks it helps her relieve stress.
I will be okay as long as the bands get to play proper sets.

Yeah it does. :thumbsup: You might want to take her up on that, because until some shows are actually played, I doubt we'll know much about proper sets. No sense stressing about it until then,IMO. We might get some info about that, but I'm not counting on it.
First thing for me is dates, and venues so I can see what I can do. Then I'll just enjoy the get togethers, shows, and hopefully a Jacket closing set or two. :beer:
seems to me this will be a pearl jam 20 type festival... 4 or 5 bands... with all main bands playing about 1.5 hours. Hoping for a philly area show as probably won't be able to travel for these.
I torn with this idea as wilco and mmj are my fav bands they won't be getting 3 hour sets...

This.
As much as I'd love to see this (and I probably will anyways), I'd much rather see a longer set from the two. I'm hoping MMJ doesn't just play another Atlanta set with casual songs. On the other hand, if it is an hour and 30min set with rarities, that'd be something else entirely.

the pro is you get to see the legend dylan and the best 2 american touring bands right now.. the con is yes you may get 1.5 sets that aren't catered to the fanboys (i.e us).
This show won't attract the type of crowd that Atlanta attracted. People who go to see a Dylan, Wilco, MMJ tour are not casual music fans. Therefore the sets will reflect this. The ATL set was to win over Zac Brown fans who are not as sophisticated with their musical tastes. The entire show will be a treat however long they play. To get to see these three band plus Richard Thompson or Ryan Bingham on one day is awesome. I wasn't planning on any MMJ shows this year, so any show I can see is a bonus for me. I was at the ATL show and I had as good a time as I had at any show. It wasn't a Port Chester set for sure, but I got to hang out with scosby, Whippy, Manonthemoon, rjlemons, Holls and others. Half the fun is the show, seeing my Jacket frannns is the other half. When I go to shows without y'all, it just isn't the same. :beer:

good points fully
I'm going to enjoy this regardless for many reasons:
I get to see my favorite band in what should have been an off year
I get to see my second favorite modern band for the first time
I get to see Dylan, this is definitely one for the bucket list
The crowd will be awesome
A chance at some huge collaborative moments
This is very exciting... would this mean the Americana show in Nashville in Sept?... Oh having to wait for details... Within my group of friends that I watch football with is Bob's son in law, a really nice guy who is also in my field of work and helps me out from time to time. Could you imagine having Bob as your Father in Law? He and his wife and kids are really nice and you would never know related to Bob. I do remember playing with his daughter when she was about 4 and thinking, My God your Grandpa is Dylan? There are some good Bob stories on occasion, one of my favorites was his simple request for the "godmother" an awesome deli sandwich in Santa Monica for his big 70th birthday. I love the idea of everyone in reverence of him turning 70 and he's just sitting mowing down on a delicious Italian sub with his family!
Can't wait to hear about these shows... Hoping MMJ and Wilco ignite Bob! :cheesy:

Great story, Tubetop! The Americana thing in Nashville is an awards show promoting Americana music. While similar in name, it's not the same thing at all. They have lots of shows around Nashville the week leading up to it, but more Jason Isbell, Caitlyn Rose, Steve Earl, Allison Kraus, Bobby Bare, Jr. ...and so on.

If they do play Camden be prepared for a nice venue, with a party lot, in an absolute shithole of a town. Anyone coming from out of town DO NOT stay in Camden. Across the river in Philly, or in a few Jersey towns east of Camden have some nice hotels. All within a half hour or less of the venue.

I've seen Rush in Camden and you are very correct. That city is awful, avoid being in there for anything other than the show.
Wasn't Cinci being speculated for a July 6th date? Wilco sort of confirmed Chicago on their FB page I think.

(To be honest, I was going to skip this, but now I feel I have to go, no matter what the $$, as it is WALKING distance from my apartment)
Looks like I'm flying back to Chicago for this one! :cool: Very excited, though not for the price I assume it will be.

Jim James is at the Newport Folk Festival. Is he gonna do some sort of 2 shows in 2 states in 1 day thing? How far away is Newport from Wantagh, NY? I don't understand.
I'm assuming roll call will be in on the 24th presale right?
NOBLESVILLE!? I hope they announce what dates each band will be closing on, unless it is Dylan closing every date. I'd drive to Cinci or Columbus instead of Noblesville if that meant MMJ was closing that night.
It is weird that IN gets a date and KY doesn't.

long island to rhode island is a few hours by bus at least... that is a very good question. i wanna make the hoboken show but it is definitely a no go if mmj isn't playing.
I really wish Richard Thompson stayed away from the dates close to me. I don't need another band on top of everything else to shorten my MMJ set list! :angry:
If doors open at 4pm and assuming the show ends at 12am, I speculate the following:
Richard Thompson - 4:30pm - 5:30pm
My Morning Jacket - 6pm - 8pm
Wilco - 8:30pm - 10:30pm
Dylan 11pm - 12am?
No way we get 2 hour sets by Wilco and MMJ. I'm guessing 90 minutes tops for each.

long island to rhode island is a few hours by bus at least... that is a very good question. i wanna make the hoboken show but it is definitely a no go if mmj isn't playing.
I think Hoboken is more of a go for MMJ. Jones Beach on the 27th is the one I too have questions about.
It does appear Jim has got himself double booked! Something's gotta give. I'm not thrilled with seeing 3+ bands over a 6 hour period in reserved seating at a McAmphitheater. That, and I might be moving to Iowa- a bit of a game changer...

No way we get 2 hour sets by Wilco and MMJ. I'm guessing 90 minutes tops for each.
Agreed, and no way Dylan only gets an hour to close. :huh:
I think the only way MMJ or Wilco get longer than 90 minutes each is if there is indeed a rotating closer for these shows. I'm not really inclined to think that will be the case though. I hope I'm wrong but my thinking is Dylan closes all the shows.
the hoboken pier is huge. this pic is from the mumford and sons show there last year:
(http://www.hobokennj.org/content/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/DSC_1387.jpeg)
Maybe he's going to play early in one place and fly in to play late at the other. It can be done.
Also, Nashville and Memphis and maybe Atlanta! Yay for the south!!
all over the mansfield show. not a fan of the venue, but oh well. just waiting on cost.
love the lineup and it's a perfect excuse to see dylan again. haven't seen him since foxboro 87 w/ the gd. probably wouldn't pay to see him otherwise. love his music, but prefer hearing others play it. still, he's an american institution and musical hero to most of my musical heroes, so.............

This. I live in Seaford, NY, which is one town over from Wantagh, NY, it's a 4 hour drive to Newport.
To go Hoboken > Newport > Wantagh is like, kinda crazy. So that means a super early set at Newport if MMJ is going on first @ Jones. :shocked: :shocked:

Totally agree Fiddle. Then throw in Camden, N.J. the next night after a double on Saturday????? Give me some of what that man is taking! :wink:

Iowa, where there are more pigs than people! I went to school at Drake (Des Moines) so Iowa is my old stomping grounds! Where are you thinking of moving to in Iowa?
Okay so something more like this?
Doors at 4
Richard Thompson - 4:30 to 5:15
My Morning Jacket - 5:45 to 7:15
Wilco - 7:45 to 9:15
Dylan - 9:45 to 11:30
Not sure how else they would do it. I don't see Dylan going longer than MMJ or Wilco, but I think the night would end around 11:30.

Then maybe Newport, since you have the tickets and are planning on seeing them elsewhere?
Has anyone been to the Toyota Center in Bridgeview (Chicago) recently? How was the sound?
I ask because I have been to one concert there right when it opened (2006) and the sound was absolutely horrible. We literally left the show and listened to the rest of the Dave Matthews show by our car as it sounded better outside of the venue. The venue is primarily a soccer pitch. I wonder if the sound has been improved since then.
Let me know!

Seriously man, deep breaths. You're going to give yourself a friggin heart attack.
Why speculate or worry about any of this? Just let the info come out as it will. No need for the wishful thinking. It's not going to help,IMO. Plan on Dylan playing the longest set, and closing every show. If it works out different and we get MMJ closing some shows, it's a bonus, and we'll all be really happy. If not we still get to see them in what was supposed to be an off year.

Agreed! And my month long Governor's School (which has totally screwed up many show plans) ends the day before! FINALLY the stars have aligned!
Also, even on an "off" year, the guys are still working as hard as ever touring! Just another reason to love them :grin:

That's all the same weekend of Newport, Hoboken Friday, Wantagh Saturday and Camden Sunday. It's either Newport, or a combo of those, at least Hoboken and Wantagh...

I hate the town, not the venue or party lot. I've seen some pretty good shows there.
Even though it's on a Sunday, it's close to home, so can't really pass up a chance to see MMJ in N.J.

ok, the venue isn't too bad. City sucks, parking really sucks there. $25 to park in their lot???? I try and avoid it. Last time i was there was in 2010 to see the Gorillaz. I'll have to think about this one.
No Saratoga date on consequenceofsound.net

Yeah, the $25 to park sucks, but at least you know your car will be there after the show, and you don't have to walk around Camden. :wink: pennies on the dollar to me for the piece of mind.
A mid week show sucks, but really hoping Haldon can swing it and get to West Palm. :thumbsup:

If MMJ doesn't get more than an hour and a half, and if tickets are crazy expensive, I'll have to debate whether I actually want to drop that cash. I suppose I can always get a lawn seat, but lawn is typically hard seeing and not quite as much fun.

Exactly my point. :thumbsup: We most likely won't know until the tour starts. :
It doesn't matter what you or anyone else thinks the sets will look like because it will just be speculation. Don't base buying tix on any info unless it comes from CC, MMJ, Dylan or Wilco.
Pick a show you want to see, and grab a ticket. If they end up rotating or we find out if and when they will do a longer set, and you can make that show too, great. Grab a ticket then. Basing ticket purchases on what anyone here thinks the shows/sets will be like is risky if cash is tight.
I'm going to the ones close to me, and will do a road trip if there is a rotation. If not, I'm happy with what I can get to easily.
and they're gone.........wtf?

So we've got the lineup and the dates figured out, the final piece to this puzzle is the price. Money will most likely determine how many shows I see but I've got my eye on the Jersey, New York, Jersey run.
Tomorrow's news at noon looks like it will be the dates and pricing then, since the dates seemed to have been premature.

As long as MMJ is there, I'm thinking Jones Beach would be a nice way to spend a Saturday night! :wink:
Definitely doing Camden, and most likely Hoboken too. A little worried about the Newport Folk Fest conflict, and how that's going to play out.

You're preaching to the choir my friend. :wink: My only concern about those shows is if they'll actually be there because of NFF. If they are, so am I. If not I'll do a road trip another weekend, or Florida in June. Not really too concerned, just rather see them closer to home.
Woooooo Toronto date!!!
That is all.

Maybe you should get a second job to support your habit or just do the best you can and take the lawn seat. Chill out, dude. You are driving me crazy. They haven't even announced the prices yet, and you've been bitching about setlists and timeslots all weekend. If you can't play with the big boys at least shut up about it. EricM is being nice about it, but I've got enough PMS this weekend to tell you.

I apologize if you all find me bothersome. I wasn't trying to come off as desperate, I just enjoy speculation. I didn't realize it was a crime around here. I want to discuss set possibilities, I personally find that fun. If any of you do not want to do that, you can simply not reply to my post.
Not that my personal life/money is of your concern, but I am trying to balance a scholarship and 15+ credit hour semesters with work and rent. I work as much as I can to balance grades. Summer is about here, and I will have more hours.
Oh well, it is what it is.

So weird. They play a Hoboken show a mile from my apt when I'm at Newport. Pier A isn't even a real venue. Strange and I hope Jim is teleporting because traffic is ridiculous.

Probably doing the VA beach show and the MD show for sure and might do the NJ/NY/NJ trifecta if it seems that the set lists will be sort of varied and the tix aren't outrageous. Don't know if I can justify doing too many shows if its the same set list every night.

Well if MMJ and Wilco are playing literally 5 minutes from where I live, I may be out for Newport. Shit what do I do?
So weird. They play a Hoboken show a mile from my apt when I'm at Newport. Pier A isn't even a real venue. Strange and I hope Jim is teleporting because traffic is ridiculous.
Maybe he's going to take a boat :)

I will admit I'm not thrilled with the prospect of Jim juggling MMJ tour dates with his solo show the weekend of the NFF. I was hoping we'd see some interesting collabs at Newport this year.

I'm a bit skeptical about that whole weekend of shows. I don't see JJ leaving NFF early, or not being there the whole weekend for that matter, given his history there, and love for the fest. I also don't see how he could make Hoboken,Jones Beach, and Camden unless he did either skip NFF or only be there for his show. Even if he just did his show at NFF, that makes four shows in three days! Something's gotta give, no?

It does appear Jim has got himself double booked! Something's gotta give. I'm not thrilled with seeing 3+ bands over a 6 hour period in reserved seating at a McAmphitheater. That, and I might be moving to Iowa- a bit of a game changer...
Iowa, where there are more pigs than people! I went to school at Drake (Des Moines) so Iowa is my old stomping grounds! Where are you thinking of moving to in Iowa?
Iowa City or Coralville.

Okay so something more like this?
Doors at 4
Richard Thompson - 4:30 to 5:15
My Morning Jacket - 5:45 to 7:15
Wilco - 7:45 to 9:15
Dylan - 9:45 to 11:30
Not sure how else they would do it. I don't see Dylan going longer than MMJ or Wilco, but I think the night would end around 11:30.
Seriously man, deep breaths. You're going to give yourself a friggin heart attack.
Why speculate or worry about any of this? Just let the info come out as it will. No need for the wishful thinking. It's not going to help,IMO. Plan on Dylan playing the longest set, and closing every show. If it works out different and we get MMJ closing some shows, it's a bonus, and we'll all be really happy. If not we still get to see them in what was supposed to be an off year.
I just don't think they'll announce that info, and I am curious as to what everyone else thinks because of that. I don't think we will know how long the sets will be until the tour starts. If MMJ doesn't get more than an hour and a half, and if tickets are crazy expensive, I'll have to debate whether I actually want to drop that cash. I suppose I can always get a lawn seat, but lawn is typically hard seeing and not quite as much fun.
Maybe you should get a second job to support your habit or just do the best you can and take the lawn seat. Chill out, dude. You are driving me crazy. They haven't even announced the prices yet, and you've been bitching about setlists and timeslots all weekend. If you can't play with the big boys at least shut up about it. EricM is being nice about it, but I've got enough PMS this weekend to tell you.
I apologize if you all find me bothersome. I wasn't trying to come off as desperate, I just enjoy speculation. I didn't realize it was a crime around here. I want to discuss set possibilities, I personally find that fun. If any of you do not want to do that, you can simply not reply to my post.
Not that my personal life/money is of your concern, but I am trying to balance a scholarship and 15+ credit hour semesters with work and rent. I work as much as I can to balance grades. Summer is about here, and I will have more hours.
Oh well, it is what it is.
Everyone's situation is different I realize, but I'm a full time student about to graduate and work almost full time, and some weeks full time. (40hrs here where I live). It's not fun but its what I have to do to be able to go to red rocks, etc when I want to. Just sayin, you get back what you put in, and it's ALWAYS worth it when I'm at the shows, weather it's MMJ or another band

Tough decision, but I'd probably choose MMJ and Wilco.
plus I'd probably go see them in Hoboken and Camden as well. :shocked:
Then maybe Newport, since you have the tickets and are planning on seeing them elsewhere?
Rich - come to NFF. If Jim does make it somehow (travel in the northeast is not like other places) -- don't miss the best Fest all summer. 70-80 min sets tops (which will be awesome but still). I don't see how these commutes are doable - even with airplanes.

Perhaps, what I said was taken out of context, but I have not been complaining about my money situation. It isn't awful and I work decent hours. My previous posts dealt with me not wanting to necessarily drop much more than $100 simply because MMJ would most likely play no more than 1hr 30min. That has little to do with my money situation and more to do with whether that kind of $$ is worth a short set.
With all of that said, as much as I'd like to work 40 hours during the school year it is not practical in my situation. I used to be a Comp Eng major, and physics got the best of my grade. My scholarship requires a 3.3 GPA to maintain, and I dipped below that. I have since switched majors to something more fitting and I am on the up and up with my GPA. I'm almost off of my scholarship probation, but in the meantime, a near full ride with honors to college is much more important than picking hours up at work to risk losing it. :thumbsup:
But yes, summer is a different story, and I always work more then.

Weird but it's not that big. I lived 3 blocks from there for 8 years. It wasn't even big enough for us to play ultimate frisbee. It looks bigger in that pic. Prolem is the only ways in there are the path trains. Driving in on a Friday isn't much of an option (no parking other than a couple garages). I can see it being a nightmare. Best option is train it to Jersey City and walk the path on the water over.

Yes you have. I've had to listen to you go whine all weekend about joining rollcall. Nobody is making you join it, and we all have financial resposibilities. You just don't get it. This thread is over 8 pages long and at least half of it is you whining or griping about something as if the band should just play you a special show because you only been to a few of them. That's not how it works. Ewind was trying to help you save face and you didn't even get that he was lending you a hand up. You started justifying all this crap. We've been to college, we've had to keep scholarships, we have kids, and mortgages, and jobs, and lots of responsibilities. I know you are a kid and I've tried to keep my mouth shut, but just stop.

And no, you surely ARENT an asshole. Not by our definition round here, anyways...

Bigger dick? Well I can assure you that I...
No I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone, I was just stating where I stand. I'm not proud of my freshman year of college, so no I am not bragging by any means. I'm just glad I've turned things round. And I didn't think you were being shitty with me Ewind, I was just trying to explain why working 40 hours in my situation isn't my best choice. But enough with that, this thread is about AmericanaramA.
I really didn't realize speculating about things that are completely and utterly unknown was an awful thing to do here. Speculating is what I do with the shit that I love, and I love this shit. I love MMJ.
I'll dodge this thread from here on out if it'll make Fully happy.
Speculate all you want EC, most people on here just complain or talk shit about Band of Horses so keep it coming!

Yeah, a complicating factor amongst all this speculation, eh? Michele got an offer and looks likely we'll have a big change ahead that makes set times and venue sizes less important. I have, however, caught myself wondering how this move might affect my summer concert plans, so my priorities remain a tad twisted. I'm ready for the a adventure... And what better place to move to if you're a MMJ fan than the very city where Jim had his life-altering fall from stage! Isn't Iowa City owed a show?
so the last pieces of the puzzle are the prices which we already know are going to be expensive so will leave it at that (especially for us students) and the more important set times/starts.
I believe each wilco and MMJ will get 1.5 hour sets with the 4th artist at 430 or 5 getting 45 min maybe 30 min.
unlucky or lucky which ever way you look at it for wilco fans in the philly/south jersey area.. last year wilco played a 1.5 set at camden at the xpn festival... this year they are again playing a non headliner show.
The Toronto show will not go past 11pm due to a well-enforced noise by-law. A couple of acts have gone past the deadline in the past, but had to pay a fine. Nonetheless, it's a good venue and I expect the concert will kick off around 8pm.
Not to extend the arguing in this thread, but im a little put off by the set time speculation. id be concerned if they were sharing the stage with say, mumford and sons and band of horses for example. but this is Dylan and wilco we're talking about. A legendary bill of artists that will be unmatched by any other tour this summer. they could get an hour each as far as im concerned, and its still 3 hours of bliss. i for one will have no second thoughts about dropping money for this tour. can't wait.
While doors are listed as 4, the show time for the St. Paul date on Wilco's site says 5:30, which would mean possibly only an hour for MMJ and Wilco sadly :(
My guess:
5:30-6 Richard Thompson
6:30-7:30 MMJ
8-9 Wilco
9:30-11 Bob
I don't see a show at Midway going later than 11 sadly, as there are homes nearby

I'm not much on speculating, but something like this has been my thinking all along too. Possibly a bit longer especially at venues without a curfew, but for the most part this is what I'm anticipating.
Probably gonna grab tix to one, maybe two shows, and see how the first few play out. If they get longer sets somehow, or rotate closing(not expecting this) then I'll do more.
Ok so the Newport folk Festival will throw a monkey wrench into this as I won't be able to make the NJ and Jones Beach shows that are close by.
As of now, I am planning on getting tix to the July 19th show in Bridgeport CT and the July 23rd show at Merriweather Post. MPP is always a fun time.

Wow I haven't been to the forum in a while... this thread is crazy and cracking me up! Ohhhh the choices, Penny that is ironic that you will be Newport while the boys are mere blocks from your home. I have to say a bit of me hopes JJ takes his vitamins, thats a tough sched. Will Newport be compromised with all of these dates? It does seem like the teleporter needs to come out to make it all happen. No talk from fellow Westcoasters on our dates... Irvine amp is not a venue I frequent but alas I will and a strong finish at Shoreline! (my bedroom is shoreline blue- tribute to Jerry!). Anyone going to the Colorado show, it's on my birthday and thoughts are a buzzing... So many shows so little time, so much to put on the dime for such a good time...
I thought I read that these shows will start at 4pm? That would help with the set times... :thumbsup:

That, and I might be moving to Iowa
buried lede :shocked:
Yeah, a complicating factor amongst all this speculation, eh? Michele got an offer and looks likely we'll have a big change ahead that makes set times and venue sizes less important. I have, however, caught myself wondering how this move might affect my summer concert plans, so my priorities remain a tad twisted. I'm ready for the a adventure... And what better place to move to if you're a MMJ fan than the very city where Jim had his life-altering fall from stage! Isn't Iowa City owed a show?
Ha, the closest I think you willl get is either Des Moines or Omaha. They may be owed a show, but I thought Jim James wont go back there.
Hopefully MMJ plays 80/35 (music fest in Des Moines) at some point. That would be a fun place to see them as its a small music fest.
IOWA!!! Friendly people there Yac!

It sounds like Jim is pumped/honored to open for Dylan.
I'd imagine he'll hop in his bus after the Hoboken show and wake up at Newport. Do an afternoon set at Newport and hop in a plane and get to Jones Beach in time.
While promoters would want him hanging around and possibly playing with other people. I can't see why there would be any fuss if he leaves after his obligation and does something he wants to do (open for Bob Dylan)
I think it will all work out.
To join the speculation of set times:
Opener: 5:30 - 6:00
MMJ: 6:15 - 7:30
Wilco 8:00 - 9:15
Dylan 9:45 - 11:00
travel arranged for memphis. just need a ticket!
Quote from: FiddleCastro on Apr 21, 2013, 08:09 PM
Well if MMJ and Wilco are playing literally 5 minutes from where I live, I may be out for Newport. Shit what do I do?
Not going to tell you to go to one or the other.....both will be awesome times. But if you are thinking about skipping the NFF and already have a ticket(s) and need someone to take it/them off your hands please let me know. I waited too long and now I have to scramble to find Newport tickets for this summer. Good luck in your decisions...I know this will be a tough one :thumbsup:

Speculate all you want EC, most people on here just complain or talk shit about Band of Horses so keep it coming!
Why did you have to bring Band of Horses into this? :wink:
But seriously, EC, seeing as how this is a "public" forum, say whatever the hell you want. Speculation is cool with me and adds to the discussion. Sure, it may have gotten over the top at one point or another, but that is no reason for folks to be rude to you. Nor is that any reason for people to say what you can/can't post.
We're all here for the same reason, we are fans of the greatest band on the planet! No one should be pushed away or called out for their enthusiasm. If anything, it should be encouraged. No one person "owns" this (well MMJ/groundcontrol I guess) forum, it is all of ours. This isn't Nazi Germany or North Korea here, it's a fricking online forum, geeze, people need to lighten up.
That is all!
PS - Clearly I need coffee, or more beer.
I've seen The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Dylan. Unfortunately, he's been nearly unintelligible in concert for the past 5 years or so. On his second-last tour, I didn't recognize many of his best-known songs. His band is excellent, but Bob seems not to even want to sing along with a given song's backing melody. Still, this is an excellent quadruple-bill, even with a subpar Dylan.

As of now, I am planning on getting tix to the July 19th show in Bridgeport CT and the July 23rd show at Merriweather Post. MPP is always a fun time.
Party at the 3 star Bridgeport Holiday Inn! :cool: 1/2 mile from the ballpark, and a decent rate for a room with a cancellation option. Even better rate for a prepaid room.
Hope to see you there. :beer:

no it still SUCKS. strict curfew at 10 = 1 hour sets i'm guessing. pass.

GAH! I had assumed Red Rocks was booked for that night, but now that I go look at their calendar, it's free on July 31! WHAT IN THE HELL. Maybe some unannounced show will be there that night, otherwise it makes no sense.

Maybe it costs more to book RR and Bob wants to cut costs. Some of these venues baffle me. Riverfront Park doesn't regularly hold shows anymore although I know Jacket has played there before quite spectacularly.

I agree. How they could choose anyplace over RR is beyond me. :shocked:
Only thing I can think of is economics. Probably a helluva lot cheaper to book at Fiddler's than RR, and seats more too.
Anybody see anything about ticket prices?
For anyone who wondered about roll call presale, this is straight from MMJ's site:
*please use the unique code that was emailed to you for the Roll Call Presale (email with code to go out to Roll Call members the evening before the presale begins)*
MMJ will not be at the Jones Beach show, so i'll be seeing some of you at Newport afterall :)
Sucks i'm going to miss this whole tour, though.
I do hope they come back and play Jones Beach, just because it's a cool venue, even if it's in the middle of nowhere.
camden ticket prices range from $29-$106.. thats a big difference.. guessing lawn is $29.

Weird, the MMJ press release is missing some dates, but they are listed in the TOUR section -- phew!
Looks like some RC presales are this week, some next week.
EDIT -- waaaaaaaaaaaait a minute, the MMJ site says (for the Toronto date anyway) presales are on May 3rd and the public onsale is May 1st. The world's first reverse ticket presale! Innovative!!!

It is probably the money, but jesus christ, they'd sell the place out, and how much goddamn money do they need to make? A buddy suggested that maybe Bob would rather play in a place with acoustics that are less stellar. :grin:
And I see that the place is now called "Comfort Dental Amphitheater" :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

this makes sense. was wondering about jim taking a helicopter after his newport set to jones beach. now i won't feel so bad about missing this one
Now for early entry details and set times... as a wilco fan will be good to HOPEFULLY use my advantage of being a ROLL CALL member to get good vantage point for both bands.

I think the earliest presale is Wednesday. :beer:
Jacket and Wilco are about the only two bands that could lure me to the lamest venue in SE Virginia (the Farm Bureau Live Amphitheater in Virginia Beach).
I saw Dylan on the baseball stadium tour he did with Mellencamp and Willie a few years back. If his performance is anything like that, I may just get home before 10:30pm.

This is actually on the Lawn@Riverfront where the old thermopower plant was located. It's where Soundland was supposed to be. Not exactly like playing Riverfront Park in the old days.

The venues are overall really bad (atleast the 4 I know), though it seems the consensus is that they kind of suck. Having said that, I will still be going to as many of these shows as I can. For a "quiet" 2013, things are looking sweet so far.
In general, the venues are a bit of a headscratcher. I was just considering popping down to Bridgeport to see them at somewhere a bit different (and catch a few of you guys :thumbsup:) But after looking at some pics of the venue and the seating chart, I'm not so sure. Will have to see how the field is laid out. I haven't had good concert experiences at baseball fields.

I have seen a lot of shows at Irvine Meadows, but it was back in the 80s. LD and I will be there for sure. From what I remember, it'll be party in the parking lot pre-show (if they even allow that), not many bars anywhere nearby, but that could have changed. I hope we can get Blucas out to that show, too. I'm just assuming that walterfredo and rincon will be there as well. See ya all there!!
I couldn't be happier with the venues im considering. Jones Beach, SPAC, Merriweather and even Camden are all awesome. Ive never been to the Hoboken site, but it looks pretty cool

Wilco has the same pre-sale as Dylan and both are a few days earlier than Roll Call.
Any Roll Call perks for this show other than the presale? Also I'm seeing alot of VIP packages on Ticketmaster. Anyone know what those are about?

Wow you're right, I just saw the whole scheduling conflict for Jones Beach. Figures they wont be playing at the venue 15 mins from me. Ive been waiting for a MMJ show at Jones Beach for years, thus is my luck though haha. As far as Sinatra goes, I think we all know to not put anything past them.

Here is a link to the dates/prices. Click on "More Info" on your city then click "Price Range" at the top to see what prices are in your area. Looks like Noblesville is $39-$94.90 (after fees).

Yeah, what's up with some venues not being listed?! I gotsta know how much Hoboken tickets are! That will make or break it for me.

Wilco has the same pre-sale as Dylan and both are a few days earlier than Roll Call.
It looks like the Roll Call dates match Wilco & BD now. They were different earlier though.
Has anyone ever seen a concert at AutoZone Park in Memphis? Do you think the field will be GA or seats?

I live in Memphis and have never seen a concert at Autozone Park. It's weird they are having it here. I have a feeling the field might have some seating and a pit once they set it up. I'll try to find out and report back.
Darien Lake, Saratoga and Molson Amphitheatre are good venues.

Not all the venues are Ticketmaster/Live Nation.
CT is through the ballpark's site, MPP is Ticketfly, and Hoboken is Frontgate to name just a few. Click on the "more info" link for each show on the tour page, and it'll let you know where to get tix.

yeah I checked the same day and time it looks like.
See Y'all in CT. The venue is a minor league ballpark right off the Metro North line. The train goes past the park right before the Bridgeport platform so you can actually see into the park from the train. Nice small comfy place so it should be a good venue. And I don't have to travel five hours to see them this summer (although if this were a headlining show I definitely would). I think seeing as it's just an opening slot I won't be traveling to much more than the local show unfortunately.
Does MPP have a pit ? If they do has it been is it offered in the Roll Call presale ?
If not ,what kind of seats have been available ?

It's through ticketfly. I can't find it on their site though.
yeah, looks like the pre-sale for nash isnt until the 30th as well. i thought it was going to be wed.
i will be heading down to your neck of the woods 5/3-5 for keys/lips and then probably charles bradley on sat... unless you know of anything else going on the night of 5/4?
Widespread Panic is playing at The Woods at Fontanel on the 4th. It's a pretty good venue to see them play. If you can stay overnight on the 5th The Black Angels are playing. I'll be down in Atlanta that weekend at Shaky Knees. But it's shaping up to be one of the best weeks in Nashville music that we've had in a long while starting with Jim on Thursday, there are lots of good acts coming through over the next week and a half.

Looks like this one is definitely on my radar for a road trip. Probably only doing the NJ shows in addition to one road show, and this one looks doable. Three hour drive for a Friday night show and a hotel within walking distance works for me. :thumbsup:
I might do MPP too, but a mid week, non headlining show is hard to justify the $$, and time off of work. Like you though, if they were headlining, I'd be there . :wink: hard to justify not, :grin:
Edit to say a $50 round trip Amtrak train makes this even more inviting. Kick back for a couple of hours, and let them do the driving for about the same as I'd pay for gas, and parking at the hotel! :thumbsup: it's shaping up nicely for a fun road trip. :cool:

I forgot about DMB in 2008! Looks like the only other concert there besides that one was Bob & Willie in 2005. I asked around and it will more than likely be GA for this.
Hey Sheets! Nice to see a fellow Memphian around here. :thumbsup:
Bridgeport is literally the town next to where I live. I was thinking about going out of town that weekend to see another band, but I don't know how I can pass up this show.
I've been to minor league games at the stadium but not a concert.
There's a pretty good bar/restaurant for a pregame meetup. I was there before seeing Rush and Neil Young & Crazy Horse/Patti Smith/Everest at the Webster Bank Arena. It's linked below.
http://www.barnumpublickhouse.com (http://www.barnumpublickhouse.com)
Does anyone know the pricing tiers? For example, at the ampitheaters on Live Nation, are the cheapest seats ($39-40) likely to be all lawn?
Late to the thread as usual.
It really sucks the Denver date is at Fiddler's instead of Red Rocks. And why is there a need for a fourth performer? I have seen all three bands in the last year, and if Bob doesn't get someone to sing his music, I will go home after MMJ and Wilco.

Do you know if the Holiday Inn there is as close as they say? They told me it was less than a 1/2 mile, and a safe doable walk. I was thinking of taking an Amtrak up and back, so won't have wheels. The hotel offers a shuttle to/from the train station so that works, and if the ballpark is walkable, it should all be easy like Sunday morning. :grin:
Hope to see you at Barnum. :beer:

Yes, and in the past the GA has been part of the presales, but not all of it so some people pull seats.
I'm all in for MPP, of course, my home venue. Y'all are invited to a pre-show party as for the show last MMJ show in August - stay tuned for details and just show up a bit earlier this time!

Missed that too. Guess that place has never really been on my radar. I'm curious about the acoustics there. I'm excited they're stopping by no matter where they play though.
It seems like these presales will be shared with Dylan and Wilco as well, so Roll Callers may not get the almost-guaranteed super sweet seats we're used to. It's all Ticketmaster this time 'round! For all the shit we talked about GC
presales, most of 'em went smoothly. Here's hoping we have equal amounts of success with our first Ticketmaster Roll Call presales!
Whoa. Read my email tonight about this tour and was shocked. Did not expect MMJ to tour this year, or at least until fall/winter. Just spent a cool 2 hours reading this entire thread. Had no clue, I guess thats what I get for mostly just checking the other music and off topic forums these days.
Right now, no clue what show(s) I would check out, but I cant see myself totally missing this tour. Coincidentally, I did get a conditional job offer today in Norfolk, VA which is basically mine as long as my criminal history, references, and piss test (weed free for 7 years! :tongue: ) all come back good which they all should. So getting a job offer on the same day a Jacket show is announced about 10 miles from my future homeplace has to be the stars aligning, amiright?!! :cheesy:

Personally, I agree. When I joined the site 3 years ago, I could never have imagined that so many people would be as touched by this band as I am. The first show I went to where I actually met up with roll call peeps was awesome because everyone was very friendly.
ps: I was hoping they would tour this summer. I thought about Jim being so busy, but it seems it's in his nature, and the rest of the boys hopefully have had a little r&r. And now it's time to get them back out on the road together. :thumbsup:

welcome to the 757! We'll have a small group of dedicated fans going to this show so let me know if you want to meet up or anything.
You (all) again. :wink:
Late to the game here, but suffice it to say that my "summer off" has been compromised. And I'm definitely not complaining. Difficult as it is to accept, I believe the Hoboken show will be my one and only for this tour.
The venue is interesting, for sure. I may be mistaken, but I believe the last time I was at Pier A Park was a blind meet-up with a dude that was buying my spare for Field Day Fest back in 2003. Which was the first time I saw MMJ live. Interesting...
Bummed that many of you local superfans will be at NFF instead, but know that whatever gang we pull together for this show - it'll be fun times as always :beer:
Hey Liz! Glad to hear from you. I'm not likely going to any of these, so don't feel bad about only one. I will be at NFF, however. I hope we cross paths sometime in '13! :smiley:

love the black angels but alas we must get home to baby girl. we were wanting to go to panic, but tix are through the roof and we paid out the ass for the keys/lips tix. cannot do that two nights in a row... well i did just get my tax return.
would have loved to have gone to shaky knees, but need to be back on sunday. have fun, that line-up looks spectacular.
Anyone know the ticket limit on any of the pre-sales? I know normally Roll Call is a 2 ticket limit, but since we are competing with Bob Dylan/Wilco pre-sale, who just released the password to everyone on facebook, will we be able to get more than 2?
Good question. I hope that there is a large block allotted for each show's presale, because we're gonna have three pretty ravenous fanbases going at it here.
Unfortunately I am looking for Chicago so I am going into the heart of the Wilco ravenous fanbase. With all seats being reserved and 3 people, I may need to just try my luck during the general sale, which is never a good thing.

This is a great question, I need to buy 4. Hopefully we find out when we get our RC email this evening
Just a heads up that the TM/Live Nation shows will have "paperless" tix for the reserved sections. It'll end up not being much different in the end from what we're used to here with Roll Call being Will Call only, and not transferable. We'll still get a section,row, and seat # at purchase just not an actual ticket mailed, or to be picked up at Will Call.
You'll just get your credit card swiped at entry, and issued a stub type receipt with your seat location on it. Make sure you bring the CC used for purchase, ID that matches the name on card, and you'll be fine.
Info about paperless tix is on the buy page for these shows.
I've been to several "paperless" shows, and it's really not a big deal as long as you definitely plan on going when you purchase the tix. If anyone has any questions, fire away.
So far the only info I have for Bridgeport is it has seating for 5,300. Open up the field and you can likely put in another 10-12,000 possibly. Gonna be a nice small show and looking forward to seeing some of you there!
Eric, any word on ticket limits for Camden?

I think it's a definite the field will have fans. The stage will most likely be in center field, and the only real question to me is will the field have seats, be standing ga, or like Springsteen a combination of both.
I'm sure we'll get the deetz soon enough, but all the ballpark shows I've ever been to have been setup like this.
Really leaning towards making this show, and looking forward to finally catching a show with you in your own State! :cool: :beer:

Anybody have any idea how much a Lawn Ticket for the Irvine CA show will be?
I did see that doors open at 4 PM so Im guessing MMJ will play about an hour and 15...still would be nice to watch the other bands for once.
Just got the RC email. Different password than the one on Wilco and Dylan's fb. Interested to see where they are tomorrow. I have a couple of weeks before my show goes on sale.
4 tickets per show.

Not all the shows have a presale tomorrow. Only the ones in the email. I believe Denver is on 4/30, but go to the tour section of this site, and hit the more info link for the show.
Wow, I think Columbus is the only indoor show. This tour is definitely meant to be outdoors. They should've went with Huntington Park. Still will be great though. Anyone know if the GA Tix in Columbus are paperless?
I'll have to check in with everyone tomorrow to see how the first presale goes, looks my all of my dates are for the 4/30 presale, so hopefully since there is an individual code it will go easy, but somehow I doubt it :undecided:

Yes, definitely wondering the same thing. The "Onsale Times" tab on the Live Nation page for my show (Irvine) list two different presales. One for bobdylan.com and one for Roll Call. Hoping we get our own pool of tickets!
I got the email with my presale code. I'm usually a pretty calm guy, all things considered, but man oh man do ticket sales ever make me anxious. I'm always afraid something bad will happen, credit card will be declined, internet drops, I accidentally close my browser. Seriously, it's ridiculous how these stupid things affect me.

Hey, what makes you think Ms GO4IT made those pickles you sexist thing (oh yeah, I'm not supposed to judge :rolleyes:)
Not only did I painstakingly MAKE the pickles, I lovingly GREW the cucumbers. Where were you when we were munching down on them after the Port Chester shows until 4AM? By July 13 this year's crop should be well underway. Maybe I'll make a special MPP roofie edition for you :grin:

I'm all in for MPP, of course, my home venue. Y'all are invited to a pre-show party as for the show last MMJ show in August - stay tuned for details and just show up a bit earlier this time!
Yee-ha!!!!!!!!!
Party on! :beer:
If I can make it to this show, I will cross three things off my bucket list:
going to a show at MPP
getting roofied at a show (because apparently it happens here), and
tasting your wife's homemade pickles. (edited: unless the pickles contained the rufinol)

those were some damn good pickles!
Best of luck to all hoping to score good tickets. I'm not able to do this tour so I need to live it through you. Looks like Comcast Center in Mansfield has a little GA pit. Bon chance.

Thanks John. :cool:
Will you still be in NH through the end of June? If so, hopefully you can make Jim's just added 6/20 show at the State Theater in Maine. I know you had a blast last time you were there, and it could be a great way to close out your time in New England. :thumbsup:
Anyone know what the VIP packages are?
Is that just buying a Roll Call membership w/ tickets... or is there going to be a meet&greet or preshow party or something?
Just noticed it on livenation and figured Id see if anyone knew whats up.

That's just a Live Nation thing; they give out a separate pre-sale code for that, too. There will probably be a pre-show party associated with those tickets, but I don't think it involves the bands.
Good luck everyone! I am trying for Camden tix!
F that! Best I could pull was Orchestra row R. Will try again.
got fully and i pit tickets in the ATL...4th row

Orchestra Row E here. Bought them and checked a second time just to see what was still out there and the pre-sale had already reached the 200-level.
Has anyone been to the Atlanta vanue ?
Seated pit tickets always confuse me .
I am row 10 seat 34 and 35
Standing pit tickets in cinci and indy!
edit: cinci isn't standing pit. row4. I had pit tickets and live nation got weird and booted me from the site and when I went back and tried again I got row W, then tried again and got pit again, so it must not be too high demand?

Dylan fans prolly don't want to stand that long.
Ok, pulled Orch Row P in Camden. I had too much anxiety to wait for the other onsale times. Luckily, these will be hard tickets (right?) so I can always sell them if I can get pit.

Yeah, looks like they're allowing you to print the tickets at home or have them mailed to you even though the event page said that reserved seating would be paperless.

Yea, I went for the mail option. I am hoping to get pit, but hey, I'll take the Orch if I can't get any better.

I assigned 2 other people in my office to try to pull tix to triple my chances of getting decent seats. After throwing some back I eventually settled on Sec. 100 (Jim's Side) Row M, 10 seats in from the center.
I wondering about paper tix too. I thought all seats were paperless but I received an email to print out my tix. They do have my name on them though so I don't know if that will prevent me from reselling them. I was thinking of trying for better tix during the general sale.

I got pit row 8 seat 19 but I hope you're right and it's GA pit without seat assignments.
See you guys there! :beer:
Going to Cinci: I went in at the top 2 price levels and pulled the same section in the back of the pavillion.
so I just opted for the cheaper of the 2. Oh well. Maybe I could have gotten better seats if I kept trying...but I'm happy to have tickets now and to not have to wake up early on Saturday morning!
I used the Dylan password I got on one of the links here, so Thank you for that!!
I'm just excited to go and anywhere under the pavillion will hopefully be good.
I managed to pull a pair for Section A4 Row 10 for Toyota Park in Chicago, and pleased with results. I do wonder if the Dylan/Wilco pre-sale had a better selection of tickets to choose from? Either way, I cannot be disappointed, it doesnt look like many pits to go around... NM, my firend just pulled pit tickets of the Dylan pre-sale a good 20 minuteds after they went on-sale. :angry:
Chicago, Picked up 2 tickets. Section A-2 right behind the pit. Sweet seats. Thank you Roll Call. :drum:
Going to Toyota park outside of Chicago!! 2 tickets to paradise! Bob Dylan was one of my absolute favorites as a young girl and also a favorite of my guitar teacher. Hence, at the age of 12 I learned some of his songs.
Now...years later....MMJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad I'm going Section B3 Row 9 seats 11 & 12. :drum:

Actually, I'm gonna be at Solid Sound w/Crispy and Sassbox, among others. I'll have to let these two Jim shows pass me by... Its all good. :thumbsup:
And yes, Trish, it does appear, barring some unforseen factor, we are moving to Iowa in July. I'm still hoping to fly back for Newport, though. Are you, Bob, and Chrissy making it to NFF again?
We got 4 GA Pit tickets for Chicago!!!!!!
I never need much of an excuse to fly back to my home city, but this is perfect. I think we're going to the Peoria shows as well... Serious MMJ dedication because Peoria is a god awful place.
Anyone else on here planning on hitting the Peoria show? If so, do you know anything about the venue?
Even though there is no early entry, I am going to do what I can to get to the rail. Pop my MMJ rail cherry!

Wow, JYAC! Well, I surely hope that the move goes smoothly! Nope we won't be at NFF this year....we are putting (most) of our resources into our little beach condo (which was trashed during Sandy), so no big MMJ trips for now. Hope you get to make it back for NFF, and Yes, MMJ owes Iowa City a show!

I think I am just going to go for lawn at Noblesville, even though I am tempted to do the GA pit. :undecided: My brother and his girlfriend are doing lawn, and this way, if my girlfriend decides to get a ticket at a later date, she can still go to the show with me. My brother is the one who introduced MMJ to me in the first place, so it should be loads of fun going with him.
Sweet. Scored 2 pit tickets for Atlanta. Not sure if it will be GA pit, or if they are setting up seats. I saw Radiohead there in 2008 and the pit was GA standing, but this is a long show and would not be surprised if they added seats.
I'm happy either way.

I'm with you on not being able to do this tour John. Although it's not because we are moving halfway across the country. :tongue: We are out of town for about the only date we could make in Cincy (don't really care to try to see them at Nationwide Arena in C'bus either).
Best of luck to you and your family on your new life adventures in Iowa! :thumbsup:

Grab a pit if you can. You can always go back, and forth, and hang on the lawn for a bit after MMJ if you want, but you'll be bummin if you're on the lawn for them knowing you could've been up front,IMO.

That is why I am still undecided.
Got 2 for Chicago in section A1 Row 15, but then a bit later I gave it a try again just to see what would come up, and got the GA Pit as well. I'll probably keep those for myself and have the A1 seats for my brother.
I'm going to keep an eye out for reviews of the earlier shows on this tour- depending on the length of time they have allotted for their set, I might venture out for an additional show.
With this show, Chicago now has Wilco, My Morning Jacket, Pearl Jam, and Phish playing over a span of 7 days. That's not bad at all.

you gotta do the pit, man. your GF will understand and if she goes, will be fine with your brother and his woman, if she isn't cool with this you don't need to keep her around...i'm dead serious, you seem to be a pretty big fan judging by your enthusiasm in such a short time and trust me...if she isn't cool with it then it will become an issue and you will have to decide between the two of them...hopefully she is pretty cool and realizes how much you like them and it wont bother her to let you get your face melted and not stand by you for a few hours...or you could always wait and see if another pit ticket comes available and get one for her in the pit with you...i remember when I was a young whipper-snapper like yourself in the jacket world...you're in for a wild ride if you stick around

If I still lived in Chicago, I wouldn't go to Peoria, I would go to any of the adjoining states to see this show before Peoria. However, since I am flying across the country for this, I figure "In for a penny, in for a pound".

I think I am just going to go for lawn at Noblesville, even though I am tempted to do the GA pit. :undecided: My brother and his girlfriend are doing lawn, and this way, if my girlfriend decides to get a ticket at a later date, she can still go to the show with me. My brother is the one who introduced MMJ to me in the first place, so it should be loads of fun going with him.
Grab a pit if you can. You can always go back, and forth, and hang on the lawn for a bit after MMJ if you want, but you'll be bummin if you're on the lawn for them knowing you could've been up front,IMO.
That is why I am still undecided.
you gotta do the pit, man. your GF will understand and if she goes, will be fine with your brother and his woman, if she isn't cool with this you don't need to keep her around...i'm dead serious, you seem to be a pretty big fan judging by your enthusiasm in such a short time and trust me...if she isn't cool with it then it will become an issue and you will have to decide between the two of them...hopefully she is pretty cool and realizes how much you like them and it wont bother her to let you get your face melted and not stand by you for a few hours...or you could always wait and see if another pit ticket comes available and get one for her in the pit with you...i remember when I was a young whipper-snapper like yourself in the jacket world...you're in for a wild ride if you stick around
^^^This. My husband is a fan, but he knows when the Jacket come to town and we don't have a sitter...he's on the lawn with the baby and I'm up front. :drum:
Haha, perhaps you're all right. And yeah she is super cool and gets my obsession, she's one to keep around! :thumbsup:
Also, someone mentioned there is no early Roll Call entry. I'm assuming this has been confirmed?
yep, in the roll call e-mail with the code that came, said because it's other bands and not just MMJ
Also, some of the venues are offering VIP packages that get you early access. Even though it is expensive, that makes the most sense for the venues (in terms fo revenue and ease). I think the last thing they want is 3 rabid fan bases freaking out about early access. Though the anarchy that would ensue would be fun and I would gladly join in!

Haha, I'm kind of excited to see how the three fans bases mingle. I feel like Dylan's fans will be the most prominent at the Indiana show.

Also since it isn't MMJ's tour and it looks like they are the low man on the lineup, they can't get us early entry. It's to be expected.
I may have my head up my butt, but did y'all know deadline to renew/join roll call was yesterday? I tried to renew a few minutes ago. But was told that deadline was yesterday.
Sucks, now I can't access early tickets.
Just got my lawn seats for West Palm Beach and Tampa.
Considering that I certainly was not expecting to see them this year...I'm very happy about the fact that not only am I getting to see them, but I'm getting to see them in Florida.

We got 4 GA Pit tickets for Chicago!!!!!!
I never need much of an excuse to fly back to my home city, but this is perfect. I think we're going to the Peoria shows as well... Serious MMJ dedication because Peoria is a god awful place.
Anyone else on here planning on hitting the Peoria show? If so, do you know anything about the venue?
I live about fifteen minutes from Peoria and will be at the show. I have been to the stadium for baseball games a few times over the years. It is a very nice minor league ballpark, about 10 years old, definitely not a dump. Seats around 7,000 in the stands, but with GA will obviously hold much more than that on the field. The park is near downtown, but if you go very far past the park (away from downtown) it gets pretty rough in a hurry.
My 9 year old sang the anthem down there this week, so I asked them about the concert while I was there. They said the stage would back up against the center field wall. The person I spoke with didn't know of a curfew, but I'm guessing it would be 11:00PM.
Due to an already full calendar, Peoria is the show I am making.
Marino13, is the Embassy Suites the best bet for a hotel for this show?

Not sure exactly how that could be, but knowing GC, I guess anything is possible. :rolleyes:
My membership expires on May 11th, and I haven't received any notification from them about renewal, or even how/where to do it early if I wanted.

Thanks for the info! What worries me most is the sound quality at a field like this. From my Wrigley Field concert experience, it's usually not great. But I am still gonna make the trek out there regardless!
How expensive have these tickets been?
Quote from: Murph on Apr 24, 2013, 04:06 PM

With fees the Camden top price is $106, lawns $40ish
mine were $74.50 each with all charges, for the back part of the pavillion.

Embassy Suites is really close, right across the river. Another good option is the Mark Twain hotel downtown. My buddy is staying there right now and he said they were playing Wilco, Dawes, etc. in the lobby and in the elevator. It is just a 2-3 minute drive away from the stadium as well. He said the free breakfast was good and parking is free.

I most likely will be going to this show with a few friends. Just waiting for them to get back to me. I don't think the lawn will sell out, it rarely does there. So we should have a bit of time to decide. Hope to see you there :thumbsup: but it won't be as good as Red Rocks :embarrassed:.

I like what my good friend John B (new to roll call) said about the MMJ Zac Brown show which would apply here: He said "it's great that Zac Brown is closing for My Morning Jacket". LOL I thought that was great. Also the fact that MMJ doesn't mind "opening" so to speak actually speaks volumes about them. They are there to play their music to their fans and probably expand on their fan base. But isn't it great the Bob Dylan is closing for MMJ

It's a stupid and uncreative name. Seven syllables is a lot to say in one breath each time you reference the festival. I only care about seeing MMJ (assuming its not a basic setlist), don't care much for Wilco and from what I hear, Bob Dylan shows aren't the best anymore.

The name seems like it came from the Dylan side of things if I had to guess.
I was looking at the tour dates for the show in Nashville on June 30th on Bob Dylans website. I noticed the first four dates listed Bob Dylan playing along with MMJ, Wilco, and Bob Weir. Anybody else heard anything about Bob Weir being an opener as well?
Damn. Bob Weir opening! That's so awesome, even if he has been slipping on some of the words to his own songs recently...
I haven't heard anything about that. It will be interesting to see if that pans out.

It's a stupid and uncreative name. Seven syllables is a lot to say in one breath each time you reference the festival. I only care about seeing MMJ (assuming its not a basic setlist), don't care much for Wilco and from what I hear, Bob Dylan shows aren't the best anymore.
I'm with Fully on this. I couldn't care less what they call it. I've just told people I'm going to see MMJ, with Wilco, and Dylan on the bill. Either that or just said seeing MMJ this summer.
^^This!
C'mon Magheeeetahhhhh34!? Where's your spirit? This is gonna be great! Don't poop on stuff. The name is fun once you get the hang of it. After practice of course. :tongue:
It's not like the name is gonna keep me from attending, I just wondered why they didn't come up with something more creative to represent the greatest band on earth.
If you don't like Wilco or want to see Dylan, these are some high priced tickets for you to get to see the band. Wilco is a great band and Dylan, while not consistent, is still one of the greatest songwriters of all time and a living legend. I wouldn't go into this thinking you are definitely going to get the setlist of your dreams at this. Who knows what we'll get. For me any Jacket show is a great thing particularly in a year where we weren't expecting any shows. If you want to be assured of seeing a rarities filled set, you are going to have to go to one of the multi night shows where they announce they won't play any repeats. It would be awesome if they would do a run like that in the south, but that just hasn't happened in a while. You've got to travel out of the southeast to do it. It gets expensive, but it's been worth it. And there are ways to do it that make it cheaper. One if our traveling companions took megabus all the way from Memphis to New York for Port Chester. I'm not sure I'm that dedicated, but if it was the only way I could go...who knows.
Bob Weir! Can not wait for this. Possibly my top four musicians in one show? Holy smokes please let Jim, Jeff, Bob, and Bob play a song together!
Ended up getting a single ticket for A1 1st row. Bummed not to get Pit but I'm not gonna complain about 1st row!
CHIMMJFAN
I had 2 pretty good seats in Irvine lined up, dead center, second tier, put in my CC#, then decided not to. Too long a drive for me to see a likely "routine" (if there is such a thing) MMJ set, and Wilco who I saw last year. Dylan would be cool for historical purposes, but I saw 3 great MMJ shows with no repeats for the same price as this show, and I did not have to sit in a stadium chair for 6 or 8 hours. My butt hurts just thinking about it. I guess I have to settle for Jim James in May and Patterson Hood in June.

They probably had nothing to do with it. Seems to me they're just along for the ride, and not their tour.
The name seems like it came from the Dylan side of things if I had to guess.
wonder if anyone in the Dylan camp has listened to either band-- i wouldn't classify Wilco or MMJ as Americana (at least since they're first few albums) -- in any case, it's still awesome

agree wholeheartedly...you could see some Isbell, too, if you check out Clearwater fest that sunday..
Just saw that none other than Bob Weir is playing four dates!!!! He'll be doing an acoustic set and based on his recent tour it will primarily be songs from the dead (QOTSA ref intended)
Here are the dates Bob Weir will be on:
June 26th @ Cruzan Amphitheatre – West Palm Beach, FL
June 27th @ Live Nation Amphitheatre – Tampa, FL
June 29th @ Aaron’s Amphitheatre – Atlanta, GA
June 30th @ The Lawn at Riverfront Park – Nashville, TN.
This may be the best one day fest I've ever attended. Seen MMJ and Wilco many time each. Caught Bob Dylan twice and have seen Furthur 3 times and the Grateful Dead once.
Most excellent show.
PS. I think the AmericanaramA moniker is appropriate. Its even fun to say! Wilco and MMJ represent the best of american rock music right now and Bob Dylan and Bob Weir were there from the beginning.
SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!! (plus I got Atlanta pit tix too, thanks RC)

I saw "Uncle Rock" somewhere too, that's a new one. I don't get it either, Jacket is nowhere near "Dad Rock" (whatever that is anyway). I see that label get placed on Wilco a lot though, seemed to start with the release of SBS. Whatever, I'm not a dad and I fucking love Wilco.

I just bought 2 tickets for the Noblesville show in upper pavilion. That way I can enjoy the show with my girl and still have a nice view. I'm super excited!

MMJ has opened for him before. He knows what he's getting. Two bands that will sell tickets at larger venues than he can at this point.

Considering MMJ will melt faces early on, Wilco will carry the energy with a rocking set of their own, and then Dylan will get on stage to sing his little folk diddies I think they shouldve called this the No Country For Old Men Tour

Burn. :grin:
Also, for everyone who thinks that there will be collaborations between Dylan and Jim, I can't imagine he would allow Jim to blow him off the stage with his voice. There's no contest on who's the better singer.
I hated to do this but I passed on this show :embarrassed:
Not a fan of Camden, NJ (Parking and the city, venue is nice though). Also not a big Dylan fan. Wilco is ok, but not enough to convince me to go.
Anybody want to explain Wilco to me? Tried listening through a playlist of their stuff on youtube and not impressed at all. I know a lot of people are fans of both bands and that some people compare MMJ and wilco when talking about bands, but I don't see it, at all. Much more toned down without any real hard rocking songs or at least the ones on the playlist of like 90 songs or so on in the background while doing some other things. What would be the essential songs in the catalog to check out to maybe change my mind. :undecided:

If you're looking for the heavy stuff like Run Thru, or One Big Holiday, Wilco isn't really that type of band. They are compared to MMJ because they started from the alternative country scene and play super awesome extended live shows. They took me a few listens, before I got them, but don't give up! They're really awesome, and I couldn't be more excited to see them on the bill.
To me, these are some of Wilco's best:
WILCO - AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID - BARCELONA 2012 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ujI1QJy1Q8#ws)
06 Wilco - Via Chicago - Primavera Sound 2010 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9b_zzVkQw4#ws)
Wilco - One Sunday Morning (Tilburg 14-11-2011) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtbSwMr__vU#ws)
A couple more beauts:
The solo on this is worth checking out:
Wilco - Impossible Germany (Primavera Sound 2012) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB8uxCWGrgw#ws)
This one got me into them initially:
Wilco - Jesus, Etc. (Primavera Sound 2012) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrC05rX3fJA#ws)

First off, don't make up your mind based off one listen. Give them a chance, if you're anything like me you need to listen more than once to get a feel for the music.
Second, I would stay away from playlists and listen to full albums. Start with anything after A.M. but before Sky Blue Sky. Not saying those other albums are bad, not by any means, but the sandwich that exists between them is just incredible.
Check out their official live album, Kicking Television, it has the current lineup shortly after they got together. Also, definitely check out their live DVD, Ashes of American Flags.
Sorry I didn't recommend any actual songs, but I'm terrible at that stuff. What I think someone might like is usually wrong. Maybe someone else can help you with that...okay, I lied, check out A Shot in the Arm for a good, rocking song. Live, though, with the current lineup.

A lot of people seem to think Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is Wilco's best, or perhaps, the best place to start. And to extent, they may be right, but A Ghost is Born, or Summerteeth seem to be my two favorite albums. Also, their newest album (The Whole Love) is excellent from start to finish. Especially Art of Almost, Dawned on Me, and One Sunday Morning (which really is one of my favorite from their catalogue).
But definitely watch Via Chicago, At Least That's What You Said, and Impossible Germany. If those three songs don't catch your attention, I don't know what will.
YHF is everything an album should be. Definitely Wilco's "best". However, personally Summerteeth and Being There do it for me more. The three mentioned so far + AGIB are all 4 perfect records, IMO. Also, IMO, Wilco doesn't have a bad record. I can't say that there are too many bands in existence that had a 20 year career (and still going strong) with 8 records and not one of them blew. Wilco (The Album) is their worst, but still good. I would say that Wilco has a stronger catalogue than MMJ. Though ISM may be better than YHF, Wilco's catalogue from start to finish is just good. I know this isn't exactly the discussion, but Circuital is a record that I'll say I don't like, and Wilco doesn't have one of those. The reason MMJ remains my favorite band is because of the live show, and Wilco's is pretty good, too.
Oh yeah, and Impossible Germany is one of the best live songs ever.

I actually think MMJ has the overall stronger catalogue, but I might be biased. I agree with Impossible Germany though, that song is the shit!
I actually enjoy Circuital, just not as much as the rest of MMJ's catalogue. But that does not mean it is bad by any stretch of the imagination. Wonderful, Victory Dance, and Slow Slow Tune are always welcome on my MMJ sets.
After watching non-stop Wilco live videos tonight, I feel sad that I won't be able to watch a proper set from them. As much as I will enjoy this concert, I can't help but feel like I will be frustrated and on edge about the time restraint for each band's set. I still don't understand why they had to add a fourth band to an already busy schedule. Oh well, I'll just keep telling myself that I get to see MMJ and WILCO in one SINGLE night. Dylan will be an added bonus for me.
god this thread just led me down the wilco youtube rabbit hole... I gotta put this machine down
Listen to Kicking Television. It is live. They have some pretty great songs that are like country Radiohead. Spiders is a good one. I have listened to them since the 90's and still sometimes wonder what all the fuss is, other times I really like them. They will NOT disappoint you in concert.
If you're looking for rocking, see At Least That's What You Said, Hell Is Chrome, Spiders (Kidsmoke), Muzzle Of Bees - (funny that I just rattled off the first 4 tracks from A Ghost Is Born, can you tell I like that album?)- there are a lot of great rocking songs on that album actually but I would say the above four are rocking and epic on par with what MMJ is up to. Also check out Art Of Almost off of the latest release and You Are My Face/Side With The Seeds/Impossible Germany off of Sky Blue Sky for some more experimental-ish rocking fun.
With Wilco, I would agree with the commentor above who said listen to the albums and not a playlist. Do this.
I've seen Wilco play live a lot. They are my favorite comtemporary band followed closely by MMJ. I have seen them play 2 hour and 40 minute plus shows and I most recently saw them at Snow Daze in Vail where they only played for 1 hour and 45 minutes. The shorter show did not dissapoint and actually might be my favorite time seeing them out of the 10 or so shows I've been to. If their albums aren't jiving with you, at least give their live show a chance.
Why all the Sky Blue Sky hate? That was the first album with Nels on lead guitar and has Impossible Germany, Hate It Here, You Are My Face, and Side With the Seeds. I think it is a great album, but it often gets dissed on fan boards. I agree that Yankee Hotel Foxtrot may be their best album, but I don't recommend it as a starting point. I tried to start "learning" Wilco with that album but it never grabbed me at first. After a few months I tried again with Summerteeth and was hooked. My love for YHF came later after rewiring my synapses with the rest of their catalog.
I agree that they are a different kind of band than MMJ live. They rock, but they never go dark and ominous like MMJ can. Nels Cline is a brilliant guitar player and Glenn Kotchke is an outstanding drummer. Their 3+ hour "Evening with Wilco" Atlanta show in 2010 is one of my concert-going highlights of my life.
There is no way I could pass on this show. To see, literally, 3 of my top 10 all time performers in one evening is just too compelling. If any collaboration occur amongst the performers it will be unforgettable.
I was just going to 2nd or 3rd listening to Kicking Television!
I Love Wilco. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is my favorite and most played album of theirs. And I like Sky Blue Sky a lot. But LIVE is where it's at! Look into those recent "Roadcase" soundboards. I think you'll get a much better feel of what to expect that way. They are EXCELLENT live and I will see them any and every chance I get. Getting to see them and MMJ on the same night is pure joy for me! :)

I agree wholeheartedly with all of this, except for saying "they never go dark and ominous"—Radio Cure played live is pretty fucking dark and ominous, and so is At Least That's What You Said, I think. And I love hearing them!
I will be going to the show in Denver (even though the venue SUCKS), and hoping Bob closes so I can leave.

Good points Crispy. Haven't heard Radio Cure live yet but wll seek it out. And yes, ALTWYS is pretty dark. Not as epic as Run Thru or Dondante, but dark and ominous yes.
I'm in the same boat on venue here in Atlanta. Lakewood is the worst. Terrible location and difficult to get there. At least it is on a weekend and should help with traffic. Don't skip out on Dylan though if you can help it, I've heard his last tour was pretty great. His voice is struggling (and I am one of those that actually like his voice), but he has a super tight band and a really deep catalog. I also like the rootsy direction he has gone in on the last few records.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this already but the documentary about the recording of YHF is a great starting point for understanding Wilco .
I Am Trying to Break Your Heart .
They recorded one of the greatest albums ever,probably changed forever the relationship between bands and labels ,added new ( great ) drummer and dealt with Jay Bennet trying to wrestle control of the band , all right in front of a camera !
I down loaded YHF for free and did not get it right away . After listening to Being There and Summerteeth 100's of times it was completely different .
David Fricke ( Who was at T5 and totally digging it ) also provides some commentary in the film .

great suggestiong---the wilco book provides even more insight into the creation of UT and the whole tweedy/farrar, tweedy/bennett relationships..
Yeah, I was really being facetious about Dylan, having seen him before, though it was six years ago (see first page of this thread). I would surely stay and check his show out, hoping to hear that new stuff and that band, but I wouldn't feel too bad about skipping out if it wasn't digging it.

Yes, yes, yes. I was lucky to catch the Scranton show during this tour. Talk about endurance, I think every show from this tour was 3+ hours long.

Amazing show. Heading to etree.org to try to locate it now.
I think I'm gonna have to pass on this tour... my dance card has so many holes punched in it, it looks like swiss cheese with my current run of shows... Need to give the credit card a rest, before it starts bawling instead of gently weeping!!

YES! I was there one night at the Wellmont as well. Just incredible.
I saw Bob Dylan only once and it was in 1995 opening for Grateful Dead. I don't really remember much, other than not being too impressed even though he is Bob Dylan! So I will give him a fair chance and will surely stay if he plays last. Perhaps we can get a Tweedy/JJ duet if neither will get to play with Bob.
So many different opinions on what is Wilco's best or where to start to try to get into them.
For me, none of their studio recordings capture what they do best: play live like a fucking precision machine while maintaining a living soulfullness whether they are playing avant garde kraut rock, Woody Guthrie folkiness, gloomy ballads, or Stones-y rock. When they get on a roll, watch out.

http://youtu.be/7I79m7_kAnA (http://youtu.be/7I79m7_kAnA)
I'd avoid any studio recordings at first, especially since what you checked out so far you found too mellow or lacking energy, and go straight to Ashes Of American Flags DVD and Kicking Television as Angelo, rincon, sunflower and others recommended. For me, Wilco is first and foremost a live band. And I think they are more impressive when you are watching them, more so than just listening. If the above vids don't float your boat, I doubt any studio recordings would do it, either. Check out that three-way guitar part in Impossible Germany as they take it to a massive joyous huge crescendo, holy shit they are on fire! Check out the drummer on Monday, Glenn kills it. John Stirrat is such a great bass player, very melodic yet lays the foundation, a lot like McCartney. Lots of secret weapons in Wilco.
If only I was able to articulate my thoughts/feelings about music half as good as you do, Shug. I love reading your posts.
I will say that Impossible Germany is not one of my favorites. Maybe that's because they play it every time I see them but I don't get jazzed up for it like most people seem to.
Thanks for the Wilco suggestions. I'm going to give them another try. I listned to some of their albums a while ago, and I just didn't become a fan. A lot of people are surprised that I love MMJ so much and didn't get into Wilco. I also hear it's a must to see Wilco live. So this tour will be my chance to see them. And I'll prep myself with some of the above suggestions..... I'm looking forward to that. The documentary sounds interesting too.

I remember texting the setlist to my brother at the Philly show that year and being more and more amazed as the tracks piled up. As far as holy-shit-I-can't-believe-they're-still-playing moments go, that night ranks right up there with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at the TLA (circa 2010), where I'm almost positive they played until 2a. On a Tuesday night.
Great night, though, and one of my favorite shows to this day -- from Tweedy dedicating Passenger Side to "all the talkers" and the obligatory Jesus, Etc. sing-a-long to the entire living room set (esp. Spiders) and the I'm a Wheel rave to close the show.
And something that just occurred to me -- the show sold out in roughly 12 seconds on the day of the regular sale, and my captcha that morning (before TM switched to jibberish).......nudity emperor. Great moments in ticket buying.
at the Boston version of my show, I dragged along my wife even though she wasn't a big fan. She's a good sport but it was clear she wasn't having the great time I was, and at about the 2 hour mark she actually fell asleep in her seat! and then the band just kept going and going and I was giddy, thinking they could play all night and we'd both be happy.

I would highly suggest starting with the three videos on Shug's post. It is 100% spot on. I would also watch the clip to "At Least That's What You Said". If the guitar jams that end this song and "Handshake Drugs" don't at least partially break down the wall between you and Wilco, you will probably never like them and it's not worth your time to keep trying. Everyone has bands they can appreciate, but they just don't click for some reason. I've been hot and cold with Wilco over the years, but after I saw them live (three times now), they are one of my favorites.
I was late to the Wilco party too. But, after watching I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, I had to give them a full effort. The Steam Engine was where I went to download some shows and after a few listens to them, I was totally hooked. I must have listened to this show close to 100 times by now:

Bob Weir acoustic set just added to first 4 shows of this tour. Pretty amazing!
Also... even better news from Jambands.com:
"Top-billing will rotate at each show, with all of the headlining acts closing out the evening at different stops. Tour dates can be found below."
If they are rotating headliners... I would guess they are probably playing similar length sets throughout.

I guess it really doesn't matter who closes the show for me, because I assume that they will all have equal length sets, but I hope it's MMJ! If all three headliners actually have the same length sets, I'm assuming they'll play for an hour or so each.
However, I think MMJ is probably going to close at my stop, and here's why!
I assume the tour will start with Dylan closing, then Wilco, then MMJ, and it will alternate from there. To further fortify this idea, if it is to be true, Wilco will close the Chicago hometown show, which makes sense. My show is the sixth stop on the tour, so it should be MMJ's second closing show.

That's really good news! I hope that happens for you. I'm guessing whoever doesn't open (Wilco/MMJ) will be the early band. I can't see Dylan being first unless he goes to bed early being 71 and all. Actually, I still don't see him being first.

And haha, I hope he doesn't go to bed early. I hope he does some collaborations! Though, it wouldn't surprise me if that doesn't happen.
Funny thing about YHF. I bought it when it came out. It never caught on with me. I will see it referred to as possibly one of the best albums of the past 20 years. i will check it out 2 or 3 times, and NOTHING on it clicks for me. I have listened to it at least 20 times, and can't think of a tune or melody on it right now. The song that stuck the most with me, and is still my favorite is "How to Fight Loneliness" on Summerteeth. For some reason that song always reminds me of the movie Magnolia, but it was actually in the movie Girl Interrupted.
I think the reason I far prefer MMJ starts with melody. Wilco sounds almost linear in comparison. MMJ reminds me of Mozart and the Beatles (American version of Rubber Soul), for writing tunes that click to the happy spot in my brain. No current rock band writes song as melodic as Xmas Curtain or O is the one, at least nothing I have heard.

I have these moments myself ;)
I've been away from this tread for a while. Very interesting Wilco discussion.
When talking about dark, ominous Wilco, I'm surprised that no one ever brought up Bull Black Nova. Probably about as dark and ominous as Wilco gets in my opinion, and the one blast of brilliance on the otherwise disappointing Wilco (The Album).
Wilco - Bull Black Nova (Rockpalast 2011) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPey-69Mc6g#ws)
I also liked hearing people's stories about the "Evening with Wilco" shows back in 2010. Flake and I were also at the Philly show (as well as the Bethesda, MD one) and those shows were just incredible.
Brett, I own the Ashes of American Flags DVD, I'll try to get it to you. For me it definitely showcases much of what I love about them as a live band.

Thanks Shug. That was sick!! I haven't warmed up to the other stuff as much yet. I will continue my research. What I'm afraid is going to happen is...
1. I'll become a Wilco fan and then scramble to see Americanarama multiple times instead of once as planned.
2. And I'll be so mad at myself for missing Wilco over the past several years as I've had many chances to see them in the DC area.
one of my favorite songs Wilco does live:
Poor Places from Forecastle last summer:

Those Evening w Wilco shows will be hard to top. When they came back to Boston at the Wang the next tour Tweedy said something like "Remember the last time we were here and played for 3 and half hours?" Crowd roars, Tweedy laughs "Yeah that's never gonna happen again" :cry:

do people think that their rotating headliner will get a longer set at their show? If this is the case I'm torn whether I would prefer a wilco or MMJ extended set.. love them both so much.
I would think they'd still get equal time whether 1st, 2nd or last.
if I could pick I'd go Dylan, Wilco, MMJ.
I love Wilco live but still think MMJ put on a more exciting show! :cheesy:

I would think if Dylan was headlining wilco and MMJ would easily show him up at this stage in dylan's career anyway.

do people think that their rotating headliner will get a longer set at their show? If this is the case I'm torn whether I would prefer a wilco or MMJ extended set.. love them both so much.
Who knows? Unless we get a definitive word from one of the band's camps, it's anyone's guess, and that's exactly what it would be, a guess. We really won't know until a few shows play out.
If I had to guess it would be they'd all get equal time, but the headliner might get a little more. Not much, maybe 15-30 minutes if anything.
Totally bummed I missed those Evening With 3 hour Wilco shows, you folks who saw them are rightly stoked and probably forever spoiled.
And so true that Wilco has many different styles they are adept at.
Here is an epic noise freakout.
http://youtu.be/UqcF0OjAdJU (http://youtu.be/UqcF0OjAdJU)
Tickets don't seem to be in demand at all for Camden. There are still Pits left and also pairs in row A.
I've seen Wilco many times, however, I've only seen MMJ once so I'm pumped about the Irvine and Mountain View shows. Although my favourite Wilco era is the post-Bennett/pre-Cline&Sansone, this is one of my favourite Wilco songs:
WILCO - YOU ARE MY FACE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0O89XxpLOg#ws)
One of my faves, too. The pretty melodic pop side of Wilco. Great singing on this one, too. :beer:
At this point in my wilco and MMJ loving life, if all the sets are 1.5 hours or less, if rather see wilco headline. I love MMJ slightly more, but having seen them 30+ times, their short "hits only" sets aren't that exciting anymore. Wilco I've only seen 3 times, so I don't care what they play and ill be stoked
Thanks for all of the suggestions and replies, I think its just a stylistic thing as they are pretty slow and melodic throughout and definately not as rawk as I would normally like. Of course I really dig the Mountain Goats who aren't very rock at all, but the pace of their music seems to carry the music a little more the way I like. I do really like Impossible Germany, but none of the others are really clicking. I'll still give them some more listens between now and the shows and maybe something will click. :drum:

I don't really think it is even possible to get 1.5 hours out of all three bands by the time they throw the warm up band in the mix, and set up each band's gear after every set.

Solution: Have everyone on the stage at the same time and just rotate songs with everyone collaborating. This way everyone gets to play for 3+ hours and everyone's happy :thumbsup:

I suggested this idea earlier in the thread. It would be perfect! I just don't see Dylan going for it.
I'm pretty sure it lists showtime as 5:00 PM though, so it is possible if the opener really goes on at 5.
Yeah if the show starts at 5, that could be 7 hours of show time. Even if they spend 2 hours doing set breaks, that's 5 hours between 4 bands. One is an opener. I think 1.5 is accurate for our "headliners"
I don't know if the set will be longer, but it should give them more flexibility if they want to stretch a jam for a little longer. I would hope the headliner at least gets an encore.

As I can only make the Peoria show I am trying to tell myself it will be an MMJ headlining show since the next show is Chicago which has to be a Wilco homecoming headlining show and after the St. Paul show which I will hope is a Dylan kind-of homecoming headline show.
(That said, I feel Dylan is probably the bigger draw in Peoria, so maybe the Twin Cities gets MMJ and Peoria gets Dylan. Wilco will most likely get Chicago though).
Looks like the Camden show isn't selling that well atleast the pit area as mentioned above. Was able to get pit tixs 2 hours after on sale date Saturday and jut checked now and still pit ga available. Would have thought the reason was older Dylan fans preferring to sit? will be a vast difference of fans in the crowd.

I hope they can handle the high energy face melting they are going to get during MMJ's set because that's going to be much different than what they are used to.

I thought it said the show started at 5:30, no? And I assumed that meant that the opener went on at 5:30 not that the first headliner went on at 5:30.
I hope you all are right though!
Normal non-cool live bands typically headline by themselves and only play for 1.5 hours. So with two cool live bands and a Dylan on top to play 1.5 hour sets in one night is pretty damn okay with me :cool:.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for that as I am going to both Peoria/Chicago. Regardless, I am just beyond stoked to see this grouping of bands in one go.

That pretty well sums it up for me to. Impossible Germany is amazing, but the other stuff isn't resonating with me. I'll give them more listens as well. The suggestions are much appreciated.
MPP has a stricet 11:00 curfew so they'll have to start early if the three headliners each get 90 minutes.
MMJ fans who want more rocky wilco check out these tracks they can rock pretty hard

I absolutely love WILCO. That video you posted reminds me when i saw them in Memphis at The Orpheum back in 06 or 07. My wife and I had 2 extras and one of my old high school buddies and his baby's momma went with us. She is a Cowboy Junkies, mellow Neko Case fan and asked me if WILCO had many songs with electric guitars. And I, of course, a man of his word, said no. Well, she scowled pretty much the whole concert, would leave for 15 minutes and go smoke a cig, come back, scowl, check her watch, go smoke, etc...and I knew Kidsmoke was coming up, and hoping in my heart of hearts they'd catch her between smoke breaks, which they did, ~ a baptismal of noise, you know? Someone needed to save this woman ~and as I was thinking > there is absolutely no way they could play this too loud (probably around the 5 minute mark on your youtube clip) I snuck a peek at her 3 seats down to my left and she was scowling, and it was LOUD and she looked over and we had brief eye contact and so I averted my eyes above her and in the front row of the balcony was a guy hanging over the ledge, losing his ever-loving-rocking mind in a blur of hair-fists and ecstasy; the perfect yin-yang moment and easily one of my all time favorite concert moments. :cool:
Has anyone been to a show at Pier A in Hoboken? I'm trying to figure out if this show is going to be all GA. I can't find anything definitive online but it appears as though it's all GA. Anyone know?
Another wilco suggestion: if you're more of a fan of the first 3 MMJ records, buy the first 3 wilco records. Being There especially.

I haven't yet. I'm trying to get the Peoria tickets. The only thing I have seen is a notice on Wilcos Facebook page for their presale code - the same as before TENACIOUS
Here's my dream Wilco set for this tour:
Misunderstood
Dawned On Me
I'm The Man Who Loves You
Heavy Metal Drummer
Theologians
Hell is Chrome
Impossible Germany
Jesus, Etc.
At Least That's What You Said
Sunken Treasure
Spiders (Jim Collaboration)
Art of Almost
One Sunday Morning
What Light (Dylan Collaboration)
Via Chicago
What do ya'll think? I know it won't happen, but a guy can dream...

I was wondering how Nashville was going to do it. So you think full GA for the whole venue?
If its full GA thatd be awesome so I don't have to set my alarm.

Great story, Tracy! Do you live in Memphis? I lived there from 2002-2005. I saw that Wilco show on the rooftop of the Gibson guitar factory, unusually cold Oct night, Wilco were wearing gloves with finger tips cut off just to play. They said it was the coldest show they'd played and they are a Chicago band!

The Hoboken show is GA. I saw Mumford & Sons there last year and it was crowded, but okay if you didn't care how close you were. I'm almost hoping MMJ plays first at that show, so I can get close , then head towards the back.

I don't really know. I just know it is on the Lawn at Riverfront Park. The ad says, "Americanarama Festival of Music feat. Bob Dylan and His Band + more!
Wilco, My Morning Jacket, & Bob Weir – Solo Acoustic
Sunday June 30
5:30 PM
$68"
I have only been there one time, and that was to see Buckwheat Zydeco headline a Zydeco music festival about 15 or 16 years ago. If it's the same place, it seems like there was a big hill, and the stage was down the hill near the river...I may be totally wrong about this.
Here is the link to Ticketfly (They do have a special "Hot Ticket Package" for $205.)
http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/262797?utm_medium=bks (http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/262797?utm_medium=bks)
This is at a different spot than that. It's near the newish pedestrian bridge. It's literally a big lawn area. There's no way they'll have seats. It's slightly south of Lower Broad.
Full, nashville friends!!! help.... been away from the board, how are these presales working? Will something come up on the ticketfly link in the email? Only thing I see on that site now is a special Dylan package.

Yeah... I've gotta cut back this summer. These tickets are pricey and all of my spending money went into my new place. Besides mnt jam, this might be my only show all summer.
Thanks yet again Roll Call! Toronto seems to be one of the only shows with reserved seating in the pit (BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!) but I managed to pull some dead center tickets 13 rows back, so that should be a great view! Consider me a happy customer. Hope everyone else had luck!

It has to be. It's just an undeveloped area of grass.
After hearing pit tickets at Camden were still available, I was hopeful for some good seats at Saratoga but the best I can do is towards the back of section 7. Could be worse, could be better.
Um yeah......Roll Call YOU SUCK and your crappy password did not work. Fortunately I used the Tenacious password after about 10 panic attempts with the Roll Call one(and a phone call to Bob who was in a meeting and had to step away to try his computer).
Ok so we are set for Hoboken, which I think will be an amazing venue!
I'm officially in for Hoboken and Camden! :smiley:

Good to know. I ended up settling on the section 7 tix but I can always sell those if something better comes up. I'll try again later.

Um yeah......Roll Call YOU SUCK and your crappy password did not work. Fortunately I used the Tenacious password after about 10 panic attempts with the Roll Call one(and a phone call to Bob who was in a meeting and had to step away to try his computer).
Ok so we are set for Hoboken, which I think will be an amazing venue!
I just used tenacious right away because I didn't have my RC code handy. Hope to see you in July!
I just tried Tenacious in the dylan presale box for toga and got similar results to the RC code.

Good deal! I just kept trying the roll call one....had kinda forgotten the dylan one was also an option. One can only hold so many details in one's allergy laden brain, :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I got Row J Left Center for Merriweather for me, Flake, and Mr. and Mrs. GO4IT. Pretty happy with that, given that J is the fourth row of seats above the pit.

I had the same issue, Trish. Tried my special code 3 times and then tried TENACIOUS (in a bit of a panic) which worked no problem. Seems the email from Roll Call wasn't very clear - to me it looked like the Bridgeport, Ct show was the only one in bold... Right?
See you guys in Hoboken!

It has to be. It's just an undeveloped area of grass.
Interesting. I have never been to a show there, but I believe that is where that Southern Ground festival was last year? What is the capacity around 15,000?
I guess the only way to get on the rail for this show is to purchase the hot ticket option.
Is there anything more torturous than continuing to pull tickets after you've already purchased? Just pulled up a pair in row four after settling on row thirteen. D'OH!!!

Yea, it's big.
They did fourth of July there last year, and it's where MMJ was going to play that festival (forget the name) that got cancelled. Just south of the pedestrian bridge.

Woo Hoo Lizzy girl!
Got 2 for Nashville. Roll Call password didn't work, Tenacious did though.
same as many others tried for tickets at the roll call presale camden.. wasn't happy with the selections I got so waited till Saturday and picked up pit GA 2 hours after they went on sale.. not sure what the deal is here could be a serious of many factors...
1. the venue (i.e it's camden)
2. the venue does hold up to 20, 000 people (maybe more)
3. people want seats especially the older dylan fans?
I would be surprised come show time that it's not mostly sold out. Although I doubt the camden venue is sold out that much.
is Nashville all GA? no pit?

Yep GA is the only option.

I think if you purchase the $200 Dylan package you can get early entry.

I've read a people theorizing the reason for pits still being available is because of Dylan's fanbase not wanting to stand all day, but the fact that there are still seats in the second row of the 100 sections proves otherwise. It's crazy to me that there are still such goods seats available, but like you said, that will change the closer we get to July.
Got tix for Nashville. $86 for just a hour or so of MMJ was a little bit hard to justify.
If every ticket in Memphis costs $86 they'll have to either change venues or cancel the show.
I just got two for Nashville. Roll Call code does not work.
Also, no way in hell I'm paying 205 bucks to get early entry to see three bands. I can be very happy by the soundboard if I can't get closer.
thanks BigHerm. never been to this venue, I am picturing it a lot like forcastles stage. the waterfront and all. I picked nashville over atlanta even though it it added 2 hours on to my drive.
My Roll Call ran out last month. Tried to renew before this presale, but it would not let me renew or buy a new one. Kind of glad now seeing as none of the codes worked. :grin:

and when the passwords did work they were terrible seats compared to what is STILL available.

Yeah that does not seem right. Seems like they are trying to give the true fans the worse seats knowing the true fans will buy the tickets regardless due to thinking that is the only seats available.

Anybody try to get tickts to the Peoria show? I got on right at 10, but the only option it would give me was that Hot Ticket bullshit which is about $190 and i'm not paying that much. The "convenience fee" on that was like $22 btw, wtf? seems like there may have been a glitch if that's the only option given. Guess I'll just wait till the public sale on Saturday.

I had trouble as well and had to use the tenacious password in the spot for special codes. If you do that, you will be able to select general admission tickets for $65.50 (plus a $10 per ticket convenience fee). My Roll Call password was not recognized. Let me know if this makes sense.

thanks so much for the help, I got em'! it's weird that i had to use the lowercase "tenacious" code for it to work when it said to use"Tenacious". Oh well, at least it worked. if anyone else is having problems make sure tenacious is lowercase.
I wonder if the roll call password not working screws MMJ out of ticket sales...

I absolutely love WILCO. That video you posted reminds me when i saw them in Memphis at The Orpheum back in 06 or 07. My wife and I had 2 extras and one of my old high school buddies and his baby's momma went with us. She is a Cowboy Junkies, mellow Neko Case fan and asked me if WILCO had many songs with electric guitars. And I, of course, a man of his word, said no. Well, she scowled pretty much the whole concert, would leave for 15 minutes and go smoke a cig, come back, scowl, check her watch, go smoke, etc...and I knew Kidsmoke was coming up, and hoping in my heart of hearts they'd catch her between smoke breaks, which they did, ~ a baptismal of noise, you know? Someone needed to save this woman ~and as I was thinking > there is absolutely no way they could play this too loud (probably around the 5 minute mark on your youtube clip) I snuck a peek at her 3 seats down to my left and she was scowling, and it was LOUD and she looked over and we had brief eye contact and so I averted my eyes above her and in the front row of the balcony was a guy hanging over the ledge, losing his ever-loving-rocking mind in a blur of hair-fists and ecstasy; the perfect yin-yang moment and easily one of my all time favorite concert moments. :cool:
Great story, Tracy! Do you live in Memphis? I lived there from 2002-2005. I saw that Wilco show on the rooftop of the Gibson guitar factory, unusually cold Oct night, Wilco were wearing gloves with finger tips cut off just to play. They said it was the coldest show they'd played and they are a Chicago band!
well they just played Vail, Colorado this past December and it snowed the entire time. jackets, hats, gloves...the whole deal. it was another festival/shortened set - and my fourth time seeing them in 2012 - but perhaps my favorite just for the general atmosphere.
and as much as i kept telling myself i was taking a pass on Fiddler's Green...i'm now the proud owner of two PIT tix. i mean really, who was i kidding?

Been really obsessing about this show... maybe more than it deserves. But have some rambling thoughts that might be coherent by the end of this post.
The title of the tour "Americanarama" has a lot of meaning in it. Obviously, Dylan, Wilco, and MMJ represent some of the best in the "americana" genre of music. I would also add Lucinda Williams, Neil Young, and Willie Nelson for a dream show, but the current headliners are definitely top shelf. And of course "rama" at the end probably refers to the rotating headliners.
But there is a deeper connection between these three headliners. In two words... Woody Guthrie. Dylan worshiped Woody Guthrie in his early career and even spent time with him in the hospital when he was on his death bed. He wrote several songs about him and frequently referred to him as his biggest influence.
(http://c961031.r31.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Woody-Medium.jpg)
Wilco famously worked with Billy Bragg on the Mermaid Avenue album. Nora Guthrie had found lyrics that her grandfather Woody had written but never recorded. Wilco and Billy Bragg put those lyrics to music on the album, but with a more modern sound.
Yim Yames did something similar with Jay Farrar (Tweedy's former band mate in Uncle Tupelo), Will Johnson, and Anders Parker that resulted in the New Multitudes album. Nora Guthrie gave them lyrics from Woody's earlier years and created the tribute album.
So obviously, Woody is a big influence on all of these bands, and Woody Guthrie is the epitome of Americana music. As a result, I'm beginning to expect a completely different kind of show from MMJ and Wilco than we have seen before. I'm sure they will still rock out, but I am starting to expect more from the folkier side of these bands. This makes me very happy. I love getting my face melted with Jim James' flying V, but there are a lot of songs I've never seen performed live. Same with Wilco. I love how they deconstruct their songs on stage... but I also dig their earlier acoustic stuff.
Dylan's new album "Tempest" is really rootsy. This could set the tone for the tour. I guess what I'm saying is.... I don't think this will be just another festival set from Wilco or MMJ. I expect them to really mix it up this tour.
Or not. Either way, I'm happy to see my favorite bands whenever possible.
Here's a couple of tracks to mull over.
Wilco - Jolly Banker http://grooveshark.com/s/Jolly+Banker/2VMfc5?src=5 (http://grooveshark.com/s/Jolly+Banker/2VMfc5?src=5)

If you're right, and MMJ plays some rarities from their first two albums, I'll be stoked.

Dylan's new album "Tempest" is really rootsy. This could set the tone for the tour. I guess what I'm saying is.... I don't think this will be just another festival set from Wilco or MMJ. I expect them to really mix it up this tour.
Or not. Either way, I'm happy to see my favorite bands whenever possible.
Here's a couple of tracks to mull over.
Wilco - Jolly Banker http://grooveshark.com/s/Jolly+Banker/2VMfc5?src=5 (http://grooveshark.com/s/Jolly+Banker/2VMfc5?src=5)
Yim Yames - Empty Bed Blues http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2012/02/24/147374649/from-jim-james-a-new-take-on-woody-guthries-empty-bed-blues (http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2012/02/24/147374649/from-jim-james-a-new-take-on-woody-guthries-empty-bed-blues)
Bob Dylan - Grand Coulee Dam http://grooveshark.com/s/Grand+Coulee+Dam/4hZmpW?src=5 (http://grooveshark.com/s/Grand+Coulee+Dam/4hZmpW?src=5)
Cheers!
Great post! Jeff Tweedy did "Listening to the Wind That Blows" on night two of his solo (benefit) Vic shows this past March. I'd love to hear the current incarnation of Wilco's arrangement of that sweet song.
If I got "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" from Dylan or as a cover from one of the other two, I would be super stoked! That's probably my favorite Dylan song.
Kind of off track, but originally Jay Farrar was approached to do Mermaid Ave with Billy Bragg and didn't want to do it (or collaborate in doing it) and so JT was asked, and Mermaid Ave I and II ended up being amazing. Thank god he said no, because then we wouldn't have had New Multitudes, which ended up being amazing, also. Just weird how things work out for the best sometimes.
I'm hoping Wilco and MMJ stick to earlier stuff on this tour or else the Americana label will be misplaced, that and the music's just better. Great post, bhyman. I need to hear that new Dylan album.

Here's my dream Wilco set for this tour:
Misunderstood
Dawned On Me
I'm The Man Who Loves You
Heavy Metal Drummer
Theologians
Hell is Chrome
Impossible Germany
Jesus, Etc.
At Least That's What You Said
Sunken Treasure
Spiders (Jim Collaboration)
Art of Almost
One Sunday Morning
What Light (Dylan Collaboration)
Via Chicago
What do ya'll think? I know it won't happen, but a guy can dream...
Nice setlist, but no "AM" love? How about "Box Full of Letters"? "Hell is Chrome" is so good live!
I would love it if Jeff played more lead. Maybe Nels could sit this song out and Pat could be Leroy per this video. (Not going to happen but like you said, a guy/gal can dream...)

I wouldn't expect a folky set list change considering at the Newport Folk Festival last summer MMJ played Victory Dance and Dondante. I thought they would play acoustic songs like BH throughout the set, but with MMJ you can't predict...... part of the greatness of any show they do.

I'm cool with whatever, as long as it isn't 100% big hits. I'm sure they'll do a couple rarities here and there for their fans.
good news. Bob Weir is ok after collapsing on stage with Furthur last week. He'll remain at the regularly scheduled shows on this tour including Atlanta!

A.M. gets dissed a lot by some Wilco fans, but I really like it. It is a bit more twangy than the rest of their catalog, but understandable as a transition album from Uncle Tupelo to Wilco. Personally, I like twang.
Definitely check it out on Spotify or Grooveshark. Some of my favorite tracks are Box Full of Letters, Shouldn't Be Ashamed, and Blue Eyed Soul. And don't forget the totally epic It's Just That Simple... sung by bass player John Stirratt. I saw them play that once live and it killed!

AM also has Casino Queen, a very Stones-y track, the awesome Too Far Apart, the "hit" I Must Be High and the comical crowd pleaser Passenger Side. Its like Being There with out any of the avant garde weirdness. Just a ramshackle, straight forward roots rock record, definitely what critics and fans called Americana back then.

Those are all great tunes. According to wilcobase.com they played "New Madrid" as recently as 2012-09-16 (Live on Ninth St, Columbia, MO) so there's hope!
I know this will NEVER happen but I'd love to hear Wilco perform this UT outtake:
Uncle Tupelo - Wherever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yEs6HqvS0w#ws)
I've always been a sucker for "Should've Been In Love" as well. Since this tour I have fully rediscovered my love for Wilco (It waned right about the release of Wilco the Album). This tour can't start soon enough.
Haha, alright I'll get on AM immediately!
Also, does anyone else really want to hear Death is the Easy Way, or something super rare from TTF?

God, AM and Being There are so good. I'm seriously more excited for 4 wilco shows than for 4 MMJ shows. (Sorry). I know my obsessions with bands and albums change week by week, but as of this moment ill say that Being There is tied with Summerteeth as my favorite Wilco record. I wonder what my favorite will be 35 shows into my wilco fandom, because w/o hesitation ISM is my favorite jacket record at all times.
To bring Sky Blue Sky back into it: it may not be the best record, and I know some say its the beginning of their down fall, but god damn. Impossible Germany live is fucking fantastic. Please Be Patient is such an emotional song. Side with the seeds, sky blue sky, either way, leave me are all A+ songs. And WALKEN a live highlight for me, and amazing.

I concur on the wilco obsession... too much wilco isn't enough wilco.
I haven't seen Wilco live since 1993. Looking forward to the show. Yep, bought tickets yesterday for the Toronto stopover.
I looked yesterday and pulled up some tickets for Peoria. They were something like seats 2489 and 2490. When I purchased two tickets on Wednesday, second day of the presale, they were in the 1400's. I am assuming this means they have only sold about 2500 tickets total so far. I hope they sell enough not to cancel.
Has anyone seen a seating chart for the Memphis show?

Wilco formed in summer of 94
Now I'd REALLY like to hear about this show! :grin:
Jaimoe is just THAT far ahead of his time. Maybe he saw Uncle Tupelo in '93, witnessed the Jeff/Jay feud and deduced that the remainder of band would be Wilco by that time the next year. :wink:
I got seats for the Atlanta show in June and I am way excited about seeing my favorite band in the whole entire world!
I am vaguely familiar with Wilco, but I don't know one single Dylan tune. Can anyone make suggestions on where to start in Dylan's catalog? Is there a certain time span I should start with?

You are correct: 1994, although it may have been early 1995. I knew it was the early incarnation, but the early to mid '90s tend to blur together in my old age.
I got a call from my friend that worked at the HMV superstore on Yonge Street in downtown Toronto and he said, "You should come down and check this band out called Wilco. They are doing an in-store mini-concert". So, I walked over and watched the boys do around a 30-minute set of presumably mostly A.M. material; I can't remember the tunes. I was one of around 10 people watching the show. I stood off to the side (near the steel guitar) during the gig and remember walking over and complimenting Tweedy after the show. I picked up A.M. soon afterwards. Oddly enough, I'm still really only a small-time fan of Wilco. Some stuff bores me; some stuff is incredible.

Wow. He's had such a long and glorious career it is really not easy to pin the man down. But I'm pretty sure you know some Dylan songs, you just did not know it.
My recommendation:
Rent or purchase the excellent documentary "No Direction Home", directed by Martin Scorcese. It covers Dylan's rise as a New York folk singer from early 60's through 1966, focusing on his metamorphosis from folkie to rock & roller at the Newport Folk Festival. It is a remarkable movie full of great music and interviews and is the best source of information from his early years. Dylan as a young man was remarkable, a true savant. His (underrated) guitar skills were phenomenal back then.
You can watch it online for $2.99 at: http://www.youtube.com/movie/no-direction-home-bob-dylan (http://www.youtube.com/movie/no-direction-home-bob-dylan)
Then I would start with one of the following albums:
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan - Dylan arrives
Bringing it All Back Home - Dylan in transition from acoustic to electric
Highway 61 Revisited - Dylan goes fully electric
Blonde on Blonde - My personal favorite
Nashville Skyline - Less popular, but another choice album
The Basement Tapes - An official bootleg from his early career with The Band
Infidels - Great return from some weaker albums
Modern Times - A recent classic
The albums in bold are good to start with, but listen to as much as you can. I will warn you though, Dylan does not play guitar anymore. He is almost exclusively on keyboard now, and the last time I saw him his voice was pretty strained. But his touring band is just incredibly tight and more than compensate for it.
Here are some videos to get you started...

By far my favorite as well, followed by Blonde on Blonde/Highway 61.
Good recommendations so far, especially on the documentary bhyman suggested.
You might also just try the old reliable Greatest Hits albums. Vol. I is a solid collection of the highlights of his 60s recordings. Vol. II gets a little obscure at times, doesn't really seem like a Greatest Hits but the songs are high quality. Vol. III is not too bad for an overview of the mid 70s to the 90s, either.
Another way to get into Dylan is to listen to other artists sing his songs.
The Byrds did a great job on Mr. Tambourine Man, Chimes Of Freedom, My Back Pages, You Ain't Going Nowhere and tons of others
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Byrds_Play_Dylan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Byrds_Play_Dylan)
The Band: When I Paint My Masterpiece, I Shall Be Released
Guns n Roses: Knockin' On Heaven's Door (just kidding, but its still a good cover)

But if what you are wanting is to prep for what you are likely to hear in concert these days (in my mind that is a different goal than trying to get into Dylan for the first time), all of the above will not get you there. Get his latest, Tempest and then maybe Love and Theft, Modern Times, and the incredible Time Out Of Mind.
You should listen to all the recommended Dylan stuff because it's all great. Then pull up some recent videos on YouTube because he sounds nothing like that anymore.

:grin: This is true. I saw him in 2011 and enjoyed it but if I wasn't already a fan, I would have no idea what words he was singing. The band is great if you just want to kind of imagine the vocals yourself.
My buddy says the best show he's ever seen was Dylan in the recent past (10years or less, can't remember year) but also the worst show he's ever seen wa Dylan in that same recent past.

I want to second Shug's advice here about checking out Dylan's recent records as good prep for seeing him live. It will prepare you for what is voice currently sounds like, and they are all surprisingly great records. In my opinion Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft, and Tempest are some of the best things he has ever done.
It's hard to recommend Dylan albums..not so much to prep for shows but for your own musical journey as a listener..
Listen to everything put out in the 60s (not sure how to recommend one over the other), and you've gotta listen to Blood on the Tracks, + Blonde on Blonde and the Basement Tapes. (the 1975 albums)
Gotta serve somebody is a great song off Slow Train Coming, recorded in Muscle Shoals, but listen to John Lennon's comeback for that Serve yourself, which I only have on the Lennon outtakes blue box set (not sure if it's on an album?) God there is so much to Dylan's work and so much history and so many different genres and periods he went through. If you don't understand the lyrics, you gotta look them up.
getting into dylan is a gradual thing that happens over time.. I slowly introduced many different albums to my life and subsequently each album has a different feel about it and i have to be in a certain mood to play a certain album... you can't say that about many artist can you?
being a fan and exploring dylan's catalog seems to be a life long journey.
All great Dylan recommendations. I've got to add Desire to the list, a great album from the 70s that really shows off Dylan's storytelling abilities. Planet Waves is also great and was recorded with The Band. Lastly, John Wesley Harding is a fantastic album that marked a return to roots music after his motorcycle accident and initial rock n roll rebellion phase.
Whether you like Dylan's songs or not, his voice is absolutely shot, and it ruined his show I saw in October. I wish he brought another singer along. Also, he toured with Mark Knopfler then, and there were no collaborations, but it would be nice if there were some for this tour.

Seconded. Plus, if you want to hear some "hits" you'll need to listen closely because he changes the structure on most of them to the point they are different songs. I'm not holdin my breath for any collabs.
Seeker and parkervb are right, Dylan's voice is extremely weathered and I'd not really expect anyone who is not already a big Dylan fan to enjoy his "vocalizing" today. But there are also those who appreciate his voice as an expressive musical tool for the kinds of songs he is singing at this stage of his life. He sounds like a guy who has had several lifetimes of life experiences and now is in the twilight of life looking around with all that perspective.
Not Dark Yet from Time Out Of Mind is the epitome of what I'm trying to describe.
Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep, time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writing what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paris
I've followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there
I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Dylan's singing voice sounded like an old geezer even when he was 19 years old, its always been that way, I think by choice for much of his career and now compounded by the effects of aging. And he has never made it easy on his audience, he seems to revel in artistic decisions that can leave his audience baffled including rearranging familiar songs into nearly unrecognizable forms. Its just what he does, love it or hate it. I'm never surprised when people say his shows are horrible, but one person's horrid is another person's awesome.
the fact that their is still pit tickets for the camden show is strange to me...
Well put Shug.
Question:
I just won the 2 free AmericanaramA tickets from the Tunespeak competition (Huge thanks to any of you that helped get me there :thumbsup:). I am allowed to choose the venue, and since I am already seeing the Noblesville show, I am looking at the Columbus show, or the Cincinnati show. Which venue would you all prefer between the two, and which venue might have the better chance at a MMJ/Wilco closing spot? Any ideas?
I figure if they're rotating Dylan will headline first, so you could look at the tour dates and count down. Of course it's a gamble, but would make sense to me

I agree with you on Dylan headlining first. The monkey wrench to me is what happens right after Jones Beach. If they go Dylan, Wilco,MMJ, MMJ will close CT, and then MPP. Jones Beach lines up for Wilco. Does MMJ come right back and close Hoboken, or do they start the rotation all over again?
Or it could very well end up being Dylan closing two out of three nights, with MMJ and Wilco alternating the other night. It's really all speculative at this point, and unless we get an official announcement, we're going to have to wait and see how the first few shows play out, and go from there.
I would hope that the powers that be know that this is something that needs to be announced. I know he's a legend and all, but I also know that he is touring with 2 of the absolute best live acts today. If Dylan headlines every night, he could be playing to half empty venues.
Knowing if Wilco or MMJ are headlining makes a HUGE difference in whether or not I want to get tickets. If one of those 2 headline in Mansfield, I would get a ticket immediately (my friend has 6 in the first 20 rows, but a $100 a pop). If Dylan is headlining and we're looking at shortened sets from MMJ and Wilco, I probably pass.

Totally agree with you, and this will definitely have an impact on how many shows I go to. Right now it's two, but if I knew what shows Jacket was headlining, and if it was a longer set, I'd sure make every effort to get to at least a couple of those. If they closed the show and just played the same set time wise, it wouldn't be that big of a deal to get to more for me.

surely the fact that it's already been leaked that the bands will rotate the schedules will be announced before the tour starts. they obviously know that not everyone wants to see every band so if some are more a dylan fan they would know which shows to attend and similar to wilco and mmj.
Also, just because one band goes on last doesn't necessarily mean they will play longer that night. I would also prefer to have Wilco or MMJ go last, even if it doesn't mean they get a longer set.
Just a guess, but they might just all play the same length of time no matter the sequence.

in that case what would be the point in rotating at all if the sets were the same length? they may aswell stay a set lineup every night if they were playing the same length but this is all speculation.

I don't know about that Shug. I'd tend to lean towards the closer getting a bit more time. Also, I'm not sure I'd want to be in the pit all night just to be in a great spot for MMJ if they got the same length set as a previous show. If it was a longer set that would be enough for me to do it, but if the sets are the same length regardless of when they play,I'd rather they opened. Probably be a lot easier to get a great spot if they opened.

Tend to agree there, if they headliner isn't getting a longer set then there is really no point in switching it up. That way if Wilco and Dylan don't do it for me the first night i can just leave after Jacket plays the next time around. I'm really hoping that the headliner does get a longer set though or maybe just a regular set time then they get an encore of 5 songs or so which would be nice.
Thanks for the input guys.
I decided to go with Cincinnati, since it is an hour closer to home, and because it is outside on the Ohio River.
The only downside is that I will probably see Dylan close this show if MMJ closes in Noblesville.

i don't even think its a question that Dylan will close every show.
1) his name is at the top of all the marketing.
2) he's Bob Dylan and I just can't see a situation where Wilco or Jacket would be ok with Dylan opening for THEM. Too much respect for the man.
I think we should expect no more than 75 minutes from Wilco/MMJ and about 90 minutes for Dylan with most shows ending around 10:30, 10:45.
And, unfortunately, in most of these venues, i think they will be playing to much less than capacity. the venue here in Va Beach is like 20k and I bet there won't be more than 8k there.

But there was a jam bands article that's farther back in this thread that told us there would be rotating Headliners.

i've seen that and it states "they would likely rotate headliners". Not exactly a firm statement. Plus they hyperlink that statement like its going to go to an article that substantiates that claim but it just goes to another Jambands post that mentions nothing of the sort. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
This rotating headliners thing comes as a surprise to me. Until confirmation, I'm assuming Dylan closes every show.
Plus, I'm only going to one show and if I find out MMJ closed the night before or will be closing the night after my show, I'll be hella pissed. Surely they would have to announce this sort of thing before tickets went on sale? How can leave people in the dark about such a thing?

I hear you Joey. Until confirmation, I'm assuming the same.
A few years ago Steely Dan was doing a Beacon run. The first half of each show was an album and the 2nd half other tunes. They announced the albums for each night well before the onsale so you knew exactly what you were going to see that night,and could pick what show/shows you wanted. Sure wish this AmericacaramA would do the same if in fact there will be alternating closers. A little late now after the onsale, but it would help with the days planning, and might make for going to another show or two.

This was the source I got that from:
http://www.jambands.com/news/2013/04/25/bob-weir-will-join-dylan-wilco-mmj-for-four-americanarama-dates (http://www.jambands.com/news/2013/04/25/bob-weir-will-join-dylan-wilco-mmj-for-four-americanarama-dates)
I think rotating headliners is fine as long as each act get same amount of time. Surely the headliner might be able to stretch it a little, but curfews often prevent that from happening.

Might be more for the bands' benefit than the fans. Sometimes a band likes to finish their set early so they can enjoy the rest of the night without any obligations.
On the Dylan/Willie Nelson/Mellencamp tour in 2009, it seems the sequence was consistently Willie opening, Mellencamp in the middle and Dylan closing. From what I could gather from show reviews, it seemed Willie played an hour, I could not find a time for Mellencamp's set and Dylan played about 90 minutes.
The only thing that worries me about this tour is the short sets from each band. 90 minute sets would be okay, especially if Jacket and Wilco changed the set lists from night to night. However, I just can't see Dylan grabbing the audience like the other two bands. Don't get me wrong, I have more respect for Dylan than just about any musician, but how can he go on after the other two bands and not lose people's interests? His voice is 100% gone, and I am someone who absolutely loves Dylan's voice.
I just wish the show would start around 3, so we could see legitimate length sets from each band.
Now if Dylan left his band at home and had Wilco and MMJ back him as the closer every night (where MMJ and Wilco would play Dylan's tunes with him), I would be stoked beyond words. Not only would I not feel cheated with short sets from the other two bands, but I would be more excited for Dylan's set than the other two sets. In this scenario, MMJ and Wilco could rotate every other night for the middle spot.

I looked yesterday and pulled up some tickets for Peoria. They were something like seats 2489 and 2490. When I purchased two tickets on Wednesday, second day of the presale, they were in the 1400's. I am assuming this means they have only sold about 2500 tickets total so far. I hope they sell enough not to cancel.
Just looked and they are in the 2800s with the VIP tickets in the 80s. Not sure what is needed to avoid cancellation, but if it moves forward it will be a very intimate show for those of us in attendance.

That's a great idea that I'd love, too, but its not gonna happen on this tour. Dylan has famously done that twice, as you probably know, with Tom Petty in 1986 and again with the Grateful Dead in 1987. On the Dylan/Petty tours, they'd come out and play a set of Dylan songs together with Petty as Dylan's band, then Petty & Heartbreakers did a few songs of their own without Dylan, then Dylan did a short solo acoustic set and then they'd finish up with Petty as the backing band again. It went pretty long, close to three hours from what I remember.
With the Dead, they did their entire two set show and then they came out an did another full set as Dylan's band and then they did an encore. That was also a good long show, probably close to four hours of music.
To me the only places MMJ or Wilco would possibly headline are the cities where they are really, really popular. That means Atlanta or Nashville for MMJ and Chicago for Wilco.
Hey roll call peeps, haven't been on for a while. I feel that Dylan will most likely end every show, however, I also believe it will be with MMJ and Wilco joining him on stage. I just can't imagine Bob ending the show without that. I would hope that they would join him in some old tune like "Blowin in the wind" or something along those lines. That being said, MMJ should close Nashville and Wilco should close Chicago, even though I do love MMJ more than Wilco and will be at the Chicago show at Toyota park.
I'm very much looking forward to this even though I was lucky enough to see Jim at the basement in Nashville with Carl opening up for him, then also seeing Jim in Milwaukee and Chicago.. He crushed it with his new music and I was surprised just how much the songs evolved from the basement show to the show in Chicago.
But I'm a missin' my MMJ and I need some music that touches my soul. So I couldn't be happier knowing that I'll get to see them this summer.
I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but somedays I'm just so ridiculously happy when I listen to their music and it can change my mood and even my life.
I love you guys and I sincerely believe that you have as much fun playing for your fans as your fans have listening to and watching you guys!!!!!!

Amen to that! Are you going to the Peoria show as well? I can't think of a better reason to fly back to my home city than these two shows. I figured in for a penny, in for a pound so I'm going to both Peoria/Chicago with a fellow board member from Austin! I guess escaping Texas summer is a good reason to go to Chicago in July :wink:

It's no wonder we can't get any decent acts around here. I am going to see the Crowes in a couple weeks at a 2200 seat theater that might be half full. If it were Motley Crue, Journey or Nickelback at Chiefs field instead of Dylan/Wilco/MMJ, the place would probably sell out.

I sadly understand all to well the horror of student loans. I went to Toyota Park years ago, and based on how the parking lot is, I would assume you could tailgate. That really isn't a bad idea as there really isn't much over there. I am down for some tailgating.
I missed the roll call presale and need two good seats for the Americanrama MMJ show in Atlanta June 29th. Can anybody help me out? Just two tickets
Jeff Tweedy sez:
WOUB: What can you tell me about the upcoming "Americanarama" tour, which starts next month and continues through August?
JT: Americanarama? Well it's a crazy tour with Bob Dylan and My Morning Jacket and--I'm not sure--but Richard Thompson is playing some dates, and so is Bob Weir. I think Beck is on one date, and it's something we're really exicted about. It's just going to be...well, I'm not even sure what it's going to be yet. We'll definitely play a set, and hopefully there will some interaction will happen between acts...some bonus music.
That is both exciting and surprising to me. I hope it happens, in whatever combination they work out.

WOUB: What can you tell me about the upcoming "Americanarama" tour, which starts next month and continues through August?
JT: Americanarama? Well it's a crazy tour with Bob Dylan and My Morning Jacket and--I'm not sure--but Richard Thompson is playing some dates, and so is Bob Weir. I think Beck is on one date, and it's something we're really exicted about. It's just going to be...well, I'm not even sure what it's going to be yet. We'll definitely play a set, and hopefully there will some interaction will happen between acts...some bonus music.
That is both exciting and surprising to me. I hope it happens, in whatever combination they work out.

That is awesome news, very encouraging. It sounds like they dont even know yet about who's headlining and closing out shows and the order in which they play and all that though.

read this on the wilco board.. very encouraging.
from wilco facebook
Good news: Another Americanarama Festival show w/ Bob Dylan, My Morning Jacket & Richard Thompson - RT Electric Trio has been added -- Duluth, MN on July 9th. Tickets go on sale this Friday June 7th at 10AM.
Just noticed the Columbus, OH show was cancelled.
"Arena spokeswoman Leslie Lane could not confirm if low ticket sales were a factor, although she cited the show "wasn't sold out by any means.""
Wonder if any other shows are in danger. I noticed the Peoria show was only selling ticket number 3,090, wonder if I need to start planning a trip to Chicago.

I'm surprised with the lineup that the shows have sold so poorly. Maybe Wilco and MMJ could still be considered a cult type band but you would think with them and Dylan no worries. The Camden show hasn't sold that well either.
wonder what others shows could be in danger of being cancelled...
That same article said it was the only show being cancelled of the 28, so I'm holding out hope. I noticed Columbus was an arena show, so maybe facility costs were too high to justify the low sales. By comparison, I would guess they are getting the Peoria baseball field for next to nothing.
Also, I spoke a couple of weeks ago to a local record store owner and he had heard nothing about the Peoria show until I mentioned it. This was a couple of weeks after tickets had gone on sale. He was very frustrated that it had been promoted so poorly.

I almost chose Columbus as my free ticket show, glad I went with Cincinnati instead.
I also feel like some die hard wilco or mmj fans would pass this tour up because of the short sets.

I have to say the tour is very extensive playing almost every corner of the states.. not many bands can pull that off these days. wouldn't be surprised if a couple more shows are cancelled. The camden show is saved I think because of the cheap lawn tickets for the XPN festival goers next door.

I think that's it. This show feels like less than the sum of it's parts. I'd pay to see a 3 Hr wilco show or pay to see a 3 hr MMJ show. But seeing 1.5 hrs of each seems less exciting. And then factor in Dylan which feels like a negative more than a bonus (to me at least, don't flame me!).

Agreed. You can flame
me, I don't care.
I'll be in Ohio over July 4th, so trying to figure out which of these shows is doable (Indiana, Cinci, etc)..
i think that the organizers are to blame for some of this by picking some awful venues. I also think that they left too much to speculation (who's headlining, will there be any collabs, how much stage time) and that is creating some uncertainty with people interested in going

I agree the venue for me is 10 mins away so I can't complain but it's notoriously the worst venue or not the worst venue but a really shitty area. I think if it's a joint tour they have to balnace that out with some more information for the customer about the show.
To go along with others' comments, I think its safe to say I'm a pretty big fan of MMJ (ya think?) and a growing fan of Wilco. I've seen Bob Dylan about a dozen times, though its been awhile. I've got a crack at two stops on this tour and haven't bought a ticket yet!
I think this tour is flawed in its design and implementation. Adding a 4th act dilutes the experience one can expect from the 3 co(?)-headliners. I don't know any of these venues except Comcast Center in Mansfield, MA. It kinda sucks. BoA Pavillion in Boston is covered, in case of rain. There have to be some ballparks around.
If they can't get ME to jump on this tour, Columbus won't be the only plug pulled. That said, I'm starting to think about Bridgeport as consolation for Newport... :rolleyes:

I think the larger markets like the south jersey.philly, NYC and north east shows will be fine but the smaller market in the mid west may be in danger of losing some more shows soon.

Well you do know about Merriweather, I dare say. And I have pictures to prove it!
Come on down, it's only a short SW Air flight down to BWI and I'll pick you up.
Here's a really cool article and interactive map about Dylan's Neverending Tour, which he has been on for about the past 25 years.
http://www.theatlanticcities.com/arts-and-lifestyle/2013/06/808-cities-2503-shows-and-1007416-miles-staggering-geography-bob-dylans-never-ending-tour/5810/ (http://www.theatlanticcities.com/arts-and-lifestyle/2013/06/808-cities-2503-shows-and-1007416-miles-staggering-geography-bob-dylans-never-ending-tour/5810/)
I understand how modern-day Dylan shows don't do it for some people, but the fact that he's been pretty consistently on tour since about 1988 is pretty amazing, as is the fact that he's put out what are in my opinion some of the best records of his career (Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft, and Tempest) so late in the game.
An interesting article on ticket sales, specific to Duluth, but also a "what's wrong with concert ticket pricing and sales" piece.
No standing in doorways or blocking the hall: Dylan ticket sales going fine (http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/article/id/269438/)
While I do want additional details about this tour and the tickets are quite expensive, I remain excited for this conglomeration of musical awesomeness to hit the south. I'll be making two dates myself.
I'm hoping this will be a one day, single stage festival setup with music starting around 4:00.

I think it will definitely be a single stage setup, so no overlap of bands playing. Great that you are making two of them!
Just checked on Peoria again and it is at just 3285 tickets sold. However, they now have a cheaper option of a $40 ticket (seating bowl only), while the initial $70 ticket was for GA on the field or seating bowl. Trying desperately to sell more tickets, but why would they do this other option so late in the game if they were going to ultimately cancel? This gives me hope.

I'm pretty sure they can get around 4,000-5,000 in the seating area alone. I have no idea how many people can fit on the field (several thousand more), but I was told the stage would be up against the center field wall. Maybe they move it in further with the low ticket sales?
Here are some photos:

As you can see, 3,000 people will look pretty sparse in that place.

According to an article, the capacity is probably 12,000, but when Dylan and Willie Nelson played some years ago there was a crowd of 4,400. Still got about 1,000 tickets to go to match that.
This isn't the first time the ballpark has hosted a big-name concert. Dylan and Willie Nelson played a double bill at the stadium in August 2004, drawing 4,400 people and playing in a light, steady rain. Those tickets sold for $45.
Vonachen said a stage will be placed near the center field wall, and fans will be allowed on the field. He said they are expecting an attendance of 12,000.Read more: http://www.pjstar.com/news/x1431013557/Dylan-Wilco-My-Morning-Jacket-to-play-Peoria#ixzz2WmQwd7rU (http://www.pjstar.com/news/x1431013557/Dylan-Wilco-My-Morning-Jacket-to-play-Peoria#ixzz2WmQwd7rU)

I guess the author was also a movie critic/blogger since every band gets referenced through docs or movies they appeared in or inspired.

Not at all good sir. While I love some Dead, love some Wilco, and love some Dylan, I would rather none of them be on the bill. Give me Jacket or give me death.
My friend spoke with one of the promoters and was told that the three major bands will all get "full sets" and that Dylan will play last. Whatever "full" means, it doesn't sound like it will be short. We'll find out soon. Looking forward to reading set lists and reports from the Southern shows.

Hopefully wilco and MMJ get to rotate spots. MMJ is just as great and should receive equivalent attention.

That sounds like what I expected. I never bought into any scenario where Dylan didn't close the show.

Don't see how that's possible ("full" set) with the curfews. I still think 1hr to 1.5hrs for MMj & Wilco.

To most people an hour is a full set. Makes no sense to me.

For me, Wilco is who is geting me to this concert. Not a knock agains MMJ at all, they're still my favorite and I presume always will be. But, I don't care to see them in a supporting role for anyone. I've only seen Wilco once and I've been dying to see them again. With them playing with MMJ made it a must see for me. I'm looking forward to seeing Dylan again, but I seriously doubt I'll stick around for his full set.

True. Not everyone realizes a full MMJ set is 2.5 hours. But when they headline fests and get 1.5 - 2.0 hours, that isn't bad at all.
interested to see the sets from wilco and mmj tonight.. I will stick around as I have never seen dylan live and it's kinda a bucket list thing for me. I'm as into wilco as MMJ so this is a must see for me... didn't think I would either band this year so an hour or 1.5 is fine with me.

Same here, that's why I try and avoid festivals as the sets are at the max 1.5 hours and that just feels too short to me.
This would be my dream set for this short of a show:
Evil Urges
O Is The One
Anytime
Lowdown
The Way That He Sings
Carried Away (Collaboration w/ Weir, Tweedy, or Dylan)
Fearless (Floyd Cover)(Collaboration w/ Weir, Tweedy, or Dylan)
I Think I'm Going To Hell
Xmas Curtain
Lay Low
Mahgeetah
Phone Went West

Just checked on Peoria again and it is at just 3285 tickets sold. However, they now have a cheaper option of a $40 ticket (seating bowl only), while the initial $70 ticket was for GA on the field or seating bowl. Trying desperately to sell more tickets, but why would they do this other option so late in the game if they were going to ultimately cancel? This gives me hope.
what is the capacity of this venue?
I'm pretty sure they can get around 4,000-5,000 in the seating area alone. I have no idea how many people can fit on the field (several thousand more), but I was told the stage would be up against the center field wall. Maybe they move it in further with the low ticket sales?
Here are some photos:

From the seats looking out to the field:

As you can see, 3,000 people will look pretty sparse in that place.
According to an article, the capacity is probably 12,000, but when Dylan and Willie Nelson played some years ago there was a crowd of 4,400. Still got about 1,000 tickets to go to match that.
This isn't the first time the ballpark has hosted a big-name concert. Dylan and Willie Nelson played a double bill at the stadium in August 2004, drawing 4,400 people and playing in a light, steady rain. Those tickets sold for $45.
Vonachen said a stage will be placed near the center field wall, and fans will be allowed on the field. He said they are expecting an attendance of 12,000.

Peoria is now over 4100 tickets. I would say it could get to 5K if the weather forecast is good.

Here's my dream Wilco set for this tour:
Misunderstood
Dawned On Me
I'm The Man Who Loves You
Heavy Metal Drummer
Theologians
Hell is Chrome
Impossible Germany
Jesus, Etc.
At Least That's What You Said
Sunken Treasure
Spiders (Jim Collaboration)
Art of Almost
One Sunday Morning
What Light (Dylan Collaboration)
Via Chicago
What do ya'll think? I know it won't happen, but a guy can dream...
Nice setlist, but no "AM" love? How about "Box Full of Letters"? "Hell is Chrome" is so good live!
I would love it if Jeff played more lead. Maybe Nels could sit this song out and Pat could be Leroy per this video. (Not going to happen but like you said, a guy/gal can dream...)
Wilco - Handshake drugs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaQzIEFFb2k#ws)
I know it won't happen but any dream Tweedy set for me includes at least "New Madrid" if not also "Watch Me Fall" or "We've Been Had". Again, know it won't happen (even though they used to play a couple UT songs when it was still in the Jay Bennett incarnation.).
Those are all great tunes. According to wilcobase.com they played "New Madrid" as recently as 2012-09-16 (Live on Ninth St, Columbia, MO) so there's hope!
I know this will NEVER happen but I'd love to hear Wilco perform this UT outtake:
Uncle Tupelo - Wherever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yEs6HqvS0w#ws)
And New Madrid happened in Irvine!!! And it was fantastic, one of the highlights of Wilco's smoking good set. Nice to meet ya briefly, radiator tunes! :thumbsup:
