Will you be coming back to Darien this year in western new york?
I'm guessing if they tour this year, it won't be until late summer or fall at the earliest.
At this point I'm expecting a small winter tour and then an extensive summer tour next year.....it seems the new album is taking a bit longer to record than I anticipated.
I'm really wanting to see a homecoming show this year. The last one was Forecastle, but that was a festival.
rumors at obh was that they are done recording, partly recored in mexico, beach vibe, heard through the grapevine.
Red Rocks summer 2014!

The Circuital tour started the day it was released. I see no reason to think this album will not be ready by April. They already have 18 songs under their belt, and are recording more. In the old days, that could be released in weeks. LZ recorded 2 on the road supporting 1, and was out real fast. Technology is far easier now, so, any long time delay is pure marketing, not practical logistics. The Beatles released what, 11 studio albums in 7 years. Each one considered a giant step foreword.
(Yes, I consider them in the same category as Zeppelin and The Beatles)
I'd much rather see them play stand alone shows instead of fests. I'd love for them to play a full length show in Nashville. It's been since April 2010 since they've played there without it being a festival or someone else's show. Trey Songz or no Trey Songz. BOTTOMS UP! Never forget.

I had assumed that we'd be getting the album and accompanying tour in the spring/summer, but I'm starting to question that. The band has been suspiciously absent from any festival lineups, and with news that they've gone back to California for even more recording, I'm highly doubting that this will be released anytime soon. Even after it's all recorded, mixed and mastered -- at least a few months away, I imagine -- we've still got a solid few months of pre-release promotion.
Of course, I am doing nothing but speculating. It would just greatly surprise me to see this album drop any time before the second half of the year. I have adjusted my mindset from "here comes a summer of nonstop MMJ shows!" to "hoping for some sweet MMJ shows in the fall".
remember jeff tweedy saying something like they were planning on releasing a new wilco record last year but they decided to do the americanrama festival instead.. I think this would be a similar idea with MMJ... planned on releasing it NOW but got caught up with the unexpected tour.. expect an album somewhere between May-September followed by a late summer/early fall tour.
I feel like with Circuital we knew it was coming out in May of 2011 for awhile....and they were also playing Wonderful and Circuital live well before that. It just doesn't seem like they're close to wrapping up yet.
already speculating for obh 2015.
Anyone else think the lack of festival appearances thus far makes a summer tour unlikely?

Either the Jacket is holding out for Bonnaroo's lineup drop, or we won't see a tour until late fall methinks.

I had a drunken conversation with Tucker Martine on Night 2 at OBH (I was the drunk one) - he was standing inside sound board fence by himself. He was vague about timeframes and I got the sense that they won't be touring until Fall. I was asking him if they would be testing any new material out at OBH (they didn't) and how the new songs were coming along - If I were to guess and hope, they might tour Sept-Dec with wrap up shows in PC - this would be testing new stuff with Album dropping around new year.
Of course, I could be totally wrong
We've definitely been spoiled with summer tours for the last three summers. Perhaps 2014 turns out like 2010 -- no significant tour in the summer, couple early/late fall shows and then BAM T5 BLOW OUT AND NEW ALBUM!

G - we are totally going to make something happen - defintitely every OBH for as long as they have them - and hopefully we can work in some Rocky Mountain time with the high altitude Millers. East Coast Miller door is always open too.
btw - I need to talk to you about kid logistics for OBH2 - we will probably bring ours next time & I'm wondering how that all works (fwas it full price for even the little ones, etc?)
I think the new album will be out someone in the summer

I HATE festivals, but this could be what it takes to get the Millers together this year.
So they basically have Jacket closing the festival from that list. The link that shows the band list also specifies that none of those bands are actually confirmed but are merely an idea or taste of the kind of acts that would be on the bill..
Given the fact that there is absolutely nothing like MMJ, I think we can all rest assured that they will be on the lineup :grin:
In all seriousness, that would be a pretty tremendous interesting lineup but I do see why this is not a lineup and merely a template. Just too many upper mid tier names for one festival. It's basically Bonnaroo with very little undercard and only 1 realistic headliner (MMJ). I guess you could say that Vampire Weekend could be a festival headliner...but that would be rather disappointing if I'm paying for a ticket to that and wasn't a huge MMJ fan.
Doesn't it seem a bit late in the year to be in the planning stages for a huge festival in July? I think this is a pipedream, at least the lineup.

I thought the same thing, but it sounds like Camp Bisco applies for permits this time of year too. Last year it was held mid-July near Albany. There might be window for local permit applications for this type of event. According to one of the articles it sounds like the Saugerties festival has been in the planning for several years. I'm sure plans are leaked only because the permits have public hearings. If they are thinking about schedules I would guess promoters are fairly far along in the process. That being said, I agree, if the festival gets off the ground (and that is a big "IF") the lineup will most likely change significantly. If I remember reading correctly 80 bands are expected and there were supposedly 90+ on the list submitted. Its a nice and juicy rumor at this point.

They toured in the summer in 2010, i saw them in Pittsburgh 3 years in a row 2010-2012.
I'm holding out hopes for at least a late summer tour. Even if the new album isn't out yet, a lot of bands recently have started a tour with the new album coming out soon. I wouldn't mind a fall tour either, haven't seen MMJ play in a theater yet.
Wouldn't reeeeeeeeally call five dates in the last week of August a summer tour, but that's splitting hairs. They weren't slogging it out in the dog days of the summer, and maybe that's what we'll be looking at this year? Mega fall awesomeness sounds pretty mega awesome actually!

And I wouldn't call last summer getting spoiled either. I was not a big fan of the Americanarama show here in Denver. The venue choice was TERRIBLE and frankly we should have left when Dylan came on (snore!)
Ive been trying to find it in the album cover but no luck yet :angry:
I don't see it...
Ok I've spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to find it and I can say with 83% certainty that it's not Chocolate and Ice.
No, that segment is not on there anywhere. It would be too easy, quite frankly. Perhaps the novice MMJ fan or general public wouldn't figure it out but any one of us would have thought of CnI instantly.
Still possible they show up there but I absolutely do not think that that picture is any sort of proof of that occurring.
It's not c&i guys...and I really don't think they will be at the farm this year and I was just like all of you praying we would get a midnight set...anything other that a midnight set at roo for me is a letdown from now on....you've got your headlining appearance during 2011 out of the way...now it's time to rock our faces off for another 4 and a half hours...I hope I'm really wrong and they are there...I feel the same way about forecastle too bc I'm waiting for them and roo to drop to make sure mmj isn't there before I buy tickets to anything
I'm just hoping for a Newport Folk Fest appearance. I bought a 2-day pass hoping (assuming?) they would be there...

Since it seems a summer tour and Red Rocks are probably not going to happen this year, I'm putting my manifest-your-dreams-by-envisioning-them energy towards a multi-night run in the Fall at an indoor theater venue on the West Coast like the Wiltern in LA or maybe some where cool in the Bay Area like the Fox in Oakland or how about a cool spot in Portland? We could all crash at Amy and Matthew's house! :drum:

Am I reading the description of the Bonnaroo BLAM! announcement correctly? MMJ will be performing a live cover song during the event?
BLAM will feature a MMJ performance of a cover song recorded at a previous Bonnaroo.

Ah yes... Thank you. Rereading it, it would have to be recorded live covers. If they were live live covers, then it would be difficult for them to have already achieved legendary status. I mean, I would paste the "legendary" label on an MMJ cover in advance - as would many of us here, I'm guessing - but we may be a tad biased.
BLAM tonight.

I'm getting a little scared on the festival front. Outkast is headlining too many festivals, which kills the variety of lineups. Not to mention most festivals this year have nearly identical lineups.

Yep, all those acts seem like Roo locks. Call me crazy but I still feel that lineup is missing oomph. Apparently Lionel Richie is another top-ten act (..?), but I'm still hoping for at least one top-drawer surprise that no one saw coming.
And if it's MMJ (or Neil), I'm so there.

Blasting the fuck outta this HD, awesome-sounding version of 'Oh Sweet Nuthin' they're playing on BLAM right now. Oh so sweet indeed.
Okay, so they aren't at Roo.
And probably aren't at Forecastle?

A lot later in festival season = a lot more time for them to be ready to take out the new album.

I'm not a big fan of Outsidelands. After the first year, and the Radiohead night where you couldn't move a freakin inch, I swore I'd never go again. Then next year MMJ played, so of course I went, and then two years later phish played, so went again. I really hope they don't do Outsidelands because I'd be forced to go again. Just too many people in a tight space for my liking. And the logistics of getting to the park and getting in are ridic.

That was a selfish wish, as I've longed for a trip to San Fran ever since my plans fell through last year. Maybe they'll have a little love for the west coast show-wise after recording the album there?

Ha! I'd rather go to Outside Lands than Bonnaroo, or pretty much any other festival, myself. The grounds surely are too tight, which kept me from getting very close in 2010, but I still had a great time, because I got to rock it with ms y, vespa and Matt! Staying in SF also helps a great deal, and would make the logistics for me easier, I guess.
I fully agree that it's better than the 'Roo. Nothing could get me back there. And anytime you get to rock out with Ms. Y it's always a good time!
If you have a place near the park it would be nice, but we're usually staying in the east bay, which means BART>Muni>Cab or drive and park about 4 miles away. And it can be rough when two bands you really want to see are playing at the exact same time, I realize that's commonplace at 'Roo, but I've been bummed a few times at OL when that has happened. The first year it was Widespread Panic and Wilco at the same time, then the next year it was Beck and the Black Keys at the same time. I also think that the festival as a whole has worked out some of it's logistical kinks, but the first two years the line to just get into the festival would often be well over an hour wait. But GG Park is a beautiful place once you tune out the hassles of getting there and getting back.

I'm with you. I'm not a fan of festivals. I like an indoor show, no other bands I don't really care about on the bill, nothing but hours of the band I came to see. Every once in a while I get an opening band I'm interested in, but usually I'm just waiting for the main band to come on stage.
It would be interesting to see them tour with no headliner, though. Does that mean they'd be the opener and then the show would be over? :grin:
Looks like JJ is saying album hopefully in the fall. Prepare accordingly people!

Really? I think it's great. I cant decide if I want to go or do something big in the fall when the new album us out.
I'm holding out hope for ACL, which is in October and now two weekends. The icing on the cake would be if the boys did a late night set during the week.

I guess this got ignored because of wishful thinking or something, but I think we can put the "I hope they're at this festival" to rest. I'm pretty sure that JJ himself said there would be no fests this year.

Didn't they already confirm they aren't playing festivals this summer?
I guess this got ignored because of wishful thinking or something, but I think we can put the "I hope they're at this festival" to rest. I'm pretty sure that JJ himself said there would be no fests this year.
I think everyone understood that it was a long shot. I have not seen that quote from jim though.

And ACL is not in the summer! I never read anything that they wouldn't do fests either.

Good, no fests. More full dates. I'd rather speculate on openers there may be than what festivals they may or may not play. I say another run with Dr Dog would be a fan favorite.
Does anybody think they'll do a handful of summer shows if the album isn't out til fall?

That's been my thoughts. I don't know why we have to wait for the album for a tour. I would think the band does their thing recording then the producers take over and the band can go play.

So hoping for an MMJ return to Outside Lands! I go every year!
I'm not a big fan of Outsidelands. After the first year, and the Radiohead night where you couldn't move a freakin inch, I swore I'd never go again. Then next year MMJ played, so of course I went, and then two years later phish played, so went again. I really hope they don't do Outsidelands because I'd be forced to go again. Just too many people in a tight space for my liking. And the logistics of getting to the park and getting in are ridic.

Ha! I'd rather go to Outside Lands than Bonnaroo, or pretty much any other festival, myself. The grounds surely are too tight, which kept me from getting very close in 2010, but I still had a great time, because I got to rock it with ms y, vespa and Matt! Staying in SF also helps a great deal, and would make the logistics for me easier, I guess.
Have you Jazz Fested or Newported yet Crispy? You can't make such festival statements until then. :happy:

I had a drunken conversation with Tucker Martine on Night 2 at OBH (I was the drunk one) - he was standing inside sound board fence by himself. He was vague about timeframes and I got the sense that they won't be touring until Fall. I was asking him if they would be testing any new material out at OBH (they didn't) and how the new songs were coming along - If I were to guess and hope, they might tour Sept-Dec with wrap up shows in PC - this would be testing new stuff with Album dropping around new year.
Of course, I could be totally wrong
Well this could really hinder my Red Rocks party plan. Gonna have to figure out another way to hang out with the Millers.
The weather at Red Rocks can be amazing late into September or even into early October......?

I hope you're right about tour dates but I don't see anything about that in the email.
My theory is they're gonna need an incentive to sell some more memberships and tour dates always do the trick. I would be shocked if we haven't heard any news in the next few weeks.
Yeah I don't see anything about Tour Dates, just Roll Call Announcments.
And of course the Roll Call points sale, which I and along of most people still don't have enough points to get a damn t-shirt.

It seems too early for tour dates, unless we are getting the album sooner than expected. Or, I could see maybe a few summer shows, but not an all-out tour before the album drops.
I wanted the AD shirt, but had to settle for the bear shirt.
If there are no tour dates announced within the next month I will buy everyone on this forum a beer at any show I attend. Quote discount code 'O WAS WRONG' to claim your prize.
Doesn't Roll Call do this every year regardless of tour dates being announced?
Last year's Roll Call package wasn't even announced until August. I would be shocked if they waited that long to get some more cash from rabid fans, especially given that we know:
a) they're clearing out old inventory and gearing up for a new Roll Call package
b) they're due to release an album in the fall
Reading between the lines, I can see SOMETHING IS BREWING in a nice bold font. Not saying anything is imminent, but the album is expected to drop in the fall, meaning it is going to have to be officially announced by the start of June at the latest. Presumably there will also be some dates around album release time, and traditionally there's about three months lead-time between a show announcement and the show itself. In a few weeks, we will be right in the "around three months 'till fall" red zone, and that's why I'm so fucking excited.
I like the way you think O, but I still think it is too early. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't hear anything about the album until June-July. Perhaps a homecoming show is in order though...

I would absolutely freak, but I doubt that will happen, since they aren't on the bill.
I think many of us have soon to be expiring Roll Call memberships. That news could be just to inform us that the new package will come out fairly soon as it typically comes out in the spring.
In the past people were irked that upon renewal when they received the same merch as the prior year. I believe this occurred -- if you signed up in late 2013 and renewed in mid 2014, you received a duplicate of the package (i.e. same poster, etc.).
I'd bet that the album is on schedule and a tour will happen in 2014, but don't want to get hopes up of anything imminent.
Also, Spanish Gold is playing ACL so early October isn't looking good for an MMJ outing.
I just want a handful of late summer shows.....preferably one in ny
A great, but heartbreaking scoop.
FUCKKKKKKKKKK
There have been rumors from a very reliable source that there will be an album released in the fall and a tour.
so it seems the album is on the cards to be released later this in the fall i think but the majority of the touring will be held for 2015.. I think that sums it up nicely.
The reliable source Fully mentioned said some awesome shit about the album, and that a few shows in 2014 isn't out of the question. Few is my words, not theirs. Could be a tour, could be some one offs, could be nothing. I have heard that it's at least being discussed.

Is it bad form to ask what some of this awesome shit might be? This hiatus has been killing me. I need any nugget of info I can find to continue on...... :wink:
It would make sense if there were a few shows to warm up for OBH 2015.

Were you wrong? It looks like they just took down the thread to avoid spoiling it until they are ready to announce.
I'm hoping for big news, but I hope it is more than just OBH. I can't afford a trip like that yet. Maybe in 2016, but not this year.
I'd love to do an upcoming OBH. I missed out on the last one and if I start planning/saving after Bonnaroo I can maybe figure out a way to swing it.
man the OBH 2 line up is fucking awesome, but i dont think I'll be attending this year. oh well.
hopefully their are some regular tour dates to go along with OBH

Easy Beat or Be The Void are my favorites followed by Shame Shame and From.
Say Something is their best song IMO. I typically enjoy Scott's songs the most. Also, you can never go wrong with Shadow People, Rabbit the Bat and the Reindeer, From, How Long Must I Wait, Easy Beat, and Jackie Wants a Black Eye.
My favorite Toby songs are probably Lonesome, Get Away, Broken Heart, Wake Up, Nellie, Stranger, These Days, Big Girl, and Too Weak to Ramble.

I think it was accidentally posted on the website.
There was a "poster" graphic design image of jaguars, feathers, adorning the lineup with dates and the location.
Don't forget...it also said that Eryka Badu was the DJ this time around.
Cloud 9 asked that it be removed from the facebook group, thus the entire thread was deleted. Cloud 9 said that the image was only a test image.
In the mean time, those dates are black out dates at the resort....soooooo......
I think the deposit too, btw, was $250, then the balance was split into two equal payments.
I am definitely IN for round 2. I already have it in my budget.

The deposit is $500/room ($250 per person) so for the low to mid-range room. There are rooms that are triple occupancy and thus increases the amount of the deposit including the presidential suites (I think $1,000 was required for those)

Just checked HR Punta Cana (location of Panic en la Playa), and it is blocked out Jan 18-27! The mystery continues...
While I loved HR Riviera Maya, I'd really like it to be somewhere different for OBH2.

We paid for 2 rooms. We got a junior suite which had a rooftop deck w jaccuzzi for my wife and I and our 2 little kids and then we got a regular double room for my teenager and my mother in law which was cheaper. I won't spend the money on the junior suite again. If you don't have kids that may need to sleep, i think the concert courtyard rooms are the way to go. As far as views of the ocean, there certainly are rooms with it, but honestly, we didn't spend much time in our room so it was irrelevant.
I am thinking of attempting this but not sure I can convince any of my friends to do it (combination of price + not being huge MMJ fans like me). I assume plenty of board members went last year, right? I need to start planning/saving now.
I am selfishly really hoping for a return to the same location as I have a ton of southwest miles, and they now fly into Cancun. No such dice with Punta Cana.

Stop questioning and DO IT! I would expect/hope they have the "Flying Solo" option again this year. This allowed people like yourself to get matched into a room with someone else in similar circumstances. I never heard any complaints from anyone who do this last year.

While I loved HR Riviera Maya, I'd really like it to be somewhere different for OBH2.
I was bumming out for a second until I read your post Jenfarr. Thanks for posting that info.
I don't care where they have OBH2. I just want them to have it! And as much as I loved the Riviera Maya, going to the DR, a place I've never been that hopefully has beach access right there at the resort, would be a super awesome bonus.
Not meaning to be off topic, but this interview talks about how MMJ gave Dr. Dog their start. I respect Scott even more after this. I agree, MMJ is the greatest live band on the scene!

A little info for the forum. I've been traveling to the Mayan riviera for quite a few years. Some of the reasons are, ease of travel, affordability of travel, and it's not too far of a trip from anywhere in the upper 48. Basically what I'm trying to say is most major American cities have nonstop, affordable flights right into Cancun. Tack on a 30 min taxi/bus ride and you're OBH'n! Just The OBH cost is hard enough for many fans. If you put it even farther away, the travel cost might make it even harder for A LOT of fans to enjoy such a special thing. Plus OBH'1 didn't sell out. I don't think making it harder, farther, and more exspensive to get there is gonna help. Just one guys opinion.

Am I the only one who wouldn't mind if they kept it in the states? Like at a resort with a stage in a forest or some cool shit like that. I get the appeal to go on vacation in Mexico to see MMJ, but I won't be able to afford that for a few.

I hear that. There's a nice park behind my house. Hell, they should take a page from Wilco's book. Solid Sound was a great fest with Wilco headlining two nights. An all-inclusive package is pretty sweet, though, and not something you'd necessarily find in the US, unless... Vegas? Orlando? Colorado? (a green tour w/Red Rocks shows each night) Hmmmmm.
I'm hionestly getting so :tongue: with this wait.. seems like every other band is releasing albums right about now or soon!
Good points tippitoes.... I didn't look into flight costs to the DR and forgot how much farther it is from the West coast compared to Cancun. Maybe the DR resort is smaller, and they feel like they can sell it out? Who knows.
The waiting drove me mad.

Please Dominican !!!! I soooo wanna be listening to to the band on the beach with my toes in the sand and then go gamble (among other things) all night.....
I'm in if it's Mexico but not if it's DR. Looking at flights, lay overs and connections it 24rs for us to Cancun or 40 to DR and 40 is not an option. Fingers crossed...

The resort in the DR is definitely not smaller. It's bigger. And if you were unlucky to be in buidling 7 or 8 then you're really far from everything and have the option to get golf cart rides across the resort (which isn't necessarily convenient). We were there for Panic and my friends in those buildings packed a bag every time they left their room because they had no idea how long it would be before they made it all the way back to that side of the resort.
And as far as the gambling in the casino there; meh! Wasn't that impressive.
And someone mentioned the traveling to the DR; BIG FREAKIN' pain in the ass. Nothing is direct and the layover option sucked. After much shopping we ended up having to spend the night in Wash DC for our layover. Having that kind of layover really impacts your allotted vacation time. Plus each of the plane the tickets were $300 more than our tickets to fly to Cancun.
we all have different opinions on this - my $0.02 is that I'd much prefer it to be a different location. Even if that resort wasn't a bad experience for me, I'd more enjoy going somewhere else. Life's too short to go to the same place twice, if I'm spending that kind of money and time off.

Well, it's not like I'm going to skip OBH2 if it's not in Mexico :wink:
I was looking at flights from Cali to DR yesterday and they didn't seem that bad, around $450ish. We'd still try to make it happen, but sure would be nice to use my points and fly free to Cancun.
although the stage in DR is directly ON the beach...

Since I didn't go to OBH 1, I will root for the cheapest, most convenient option. I want my time and money to go as far as it can. And I'm really only in this for MMJ and some quality time away from the kids with my beloved. We would be happy in a Motel 6 in Des Moines, as far as that is concerned. All the rest is gravy.
Methinks if they are actually sticking to that June 11th presale date, they oughta announce this soon. Soon as in today. Then again, maybe that poster truly was a mockup and the date was just a placeholder. They announced OBH on June 11th last year and had a presale one week later.

I'd enjoy a Midwest festival that I could actually justify going to.
The problem with having OBH in the states is that you lose the exclusivity of the event. If it was in the states, everyone and their mother could go, and that's certainly not a good thing.
One thing I absolutely loved about OBH was how over-the-top friendly everyone was towards one another. All that beer and all that booze for a week straight and not once did I see an altercation, fight or scuffle. It was simply amazing that something like that could happen, and I don't think that it ever could at an event hosted in the states.
Keeping it somewhat expensive weens out the lowlifes that otherwise come to the event and ruin the experience for everyone else.
But anyway... I'm antsy for an announcement. Let's do this.

I have to 100% agree. And I'm really sorry for those in the forum that struggle affording it. I'm VERY lucky that all this stuff is happening now that I'm "grown up" and my wife and I have found small successes. If this all happened happened in my 20s there is no way I could be lucky to participate. And in conseration of the states, why can't we have similiar all-inclusive resorts on the beaches of the US?

i don't think he meant it as "if you're not wealthy, you're a lowlife." it's a bit harsh, but it's a valid point. only passionate, die-hard fans are going to be willing to fork over that kind of money. we've all dealt with loud, annoying people at concerts that make you wonder, "why the f are you even here?" nice to know that those types aren't likely to be there to ruin an OBH style event.

Probably true. Plus staffing costs don't condone the same prices in the US compared to Mexico.

I agree. I don't think the intent of the statement was to condescend most of the forum peeps. I haven't seen much of the wookie crowd at Jacket shows, but this is certainly an issue when you consider a lot fo the other tropical destination concerts (Panic, String Cheese, Mule, Mayan Holidaze, etc). With each of these bands' scenes, there is the BIG wookie scene that is nice to escape from.
Perhaps worded poorly, but I don't think sb_gli meant to come across as an ass. In fact I agree with his perspective, and I'm all in on paying some money to see the band in a beautiful spot that is extremely difficult to get to. The cost means only the hardcore of the hardcore will make it happen, and this weeds out a lot of the riff-raff that can make seeing a show sometimes less than awesome. Of course a byproduct is that there are undoubtedly some hardcores that can't swing it too, but c'est la vie! I wouldn't want OBH to be in the states....keep it tropical and keep it exclusive.
Well considering the 2 best series of shows PC3 and T5 were both in the States and accessible to everyone I would think that exclusivity is highly overrated. Both of those sets of shows were accessible to everyone and I can only think of one incident involving a wasted girl and Beth that happened at either event. Come to think of it out of the 20+ shows I have been to there has only been one fight issue that has happened at any of them. I don't think the Jacket crowd is really the crowd for that, but that's just my take on it.

Firstly...the above is your opinion, certainly not fact. Music is subjective...obviously. Definitely two amazing runs of MMJ, and agreeably some of their best. That said, I'm fired up for OBH2 not because I'm expecting it to be the most amazing jacket experience musically. I mean OBH1 (musically) doesn't come across as the most mind-melting jacket. It's the overall experience I'm after, and from all acounts the fun meter at OBH1 was completely off the charts. The way the overall experience was described by those who went was enough for me to be sold, and completely bummed that I missed the first one. I like fun.
Just wanna point out that even if the shows were in the US that doesn't make them accessible to "everyone". There's a whole world of MMJ fans out there... :beer:

indeed. Hope to see you on the beach somewhere in January! It's been a while.
I hope so man, I really hope so....
I'm 45 years old...when I was 25 or even 35, I could never afford to do this trip, but now I make it happen, no matter what, because I'm not saving for retirement, I'm living for the moment! :beer:
With that being said, I am glad that only the die hards are there. The entire adventure was one of the absolute best trips that I have ever made that involved music and concerts because the fans were totally chill. There was a real feeling of brotherhood/sisterhood, I guess, and it just enhanced the entire experience. I do feel badly for those who can't afford to pull it off. This is one of those expenses that I am not willing to give up, so I cut out other things. :wink:
I noticed the other night that those black out dates at Rivieria Maya HR were no longer blacked out. They were accepting reservations. That makes me nervous.
DR looks beautiful, but it will 1) cost more to get there, 2) room service will not be included, 3) as far as I can tell, no vouchers good toward any spa services, and 3) the rooms, in general, look a little higher in price. The only real downside to Riviera Maya to me is the fact that there is no real beach, otherwise, it's a fantastic location.
Where oh where will OBH2 be???
Saying "I had a blast at OBH" doesn't even cover how I felt at those shows and how special that time was to me, I would love to do it again...wherever it may take place. But, ever since OBH, I've been ready to get back to basics. I wanna see some smaller, local MMJ shows. I wanna hear some new music. I wanna get back on the road. I'm excited to see what direction they will take us from here.

Trust me, I'm not an asshole. I'm a pretty nice guy. I just speak the truth. :)
I'm just a middle american in the midwest making a middle class wage allows me to support my family with not a whole lot extra cash to fling around. What I can do is save up enough money to go on a vacation like this every once in a while. It's a reward to go to something like OBH and not be surrounded by the ass hats you see at every other concert or festival in the states.
:cool:

OBH1 was easily one of the best vacations of my life. The experience is uncoparable. I got to boogie with my little kids (kids were 13, 4 and 1.5 at the time). When my 4 year old son's favorite song came on I grabbed and easily walked up to the rail with people welcoming arms wide open. While hanging on the rail during a later night, every time I turned around a waiter was bringing me my drink of choice. I had a couples massage with my wife before the last show as part of the package. We randomly met band members as they wandered around. We casually walked up to the stage in the middle of the day to hear soundcheck and then strolled to the beach just a 100 yards away. Yeah, I can see how this compares to PC3 and T5 (and what do i know, i wasn't at those runs).

Gina,
I couldn't agree more about that feeling of "brotherhood/sisterhood". It was overwhelming. In fact we had my mother in law with us and she was constantly commenting on how much she loved the experience and much of it was about the people.
And as far as HRRM being blacked out, my wife went on yesterday and the Heaven side is blacked out. The "family" side is still taking reservations. I'm wondering if they're considering a different set up. I'm pretty sure we're going back to that resort.
Can not wait for the OBH announcement! My only complaint was no ocean access. But seriously, I ate and drank my body wait, met tons of awesome people and walked about one hundred yards to see my favorite band put on three amazing performances. One thing that wasn't talked about enough is that the band really stretched out each song, often times extending outros or adding cool new intros or blending songs from one the end of one to the beginning of the next.
Bring it again MMJ, I AM READY
Its great when they mix it up. You should listen to the intro to Birlingham '10. That shit was cool!

Moments like that are exactly why I love this band.
I may be in the minority here, but I'm fine with waiting a little while longer for more shows. I remember seeing them at Jazz Fest in 2010, which if memory serves right, was one of their first shows since the abrupt end to the Evil Urges cycle. I was blown away by how tight they were and how excited they seemed to be. I think it's these breaks between albums/tours that get us these really incredible, unexpected moments.

Man what a great show, thanks for sharing.
I know its a little off topic, but I just wanted to share this app for android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.code.vibevault (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.code.vibevault). Great little player that allows you to stream and download shows off the archive.org live music archive.

YAC- I've never listened to that show before now. Very nice! And even nicer knowing this was the start of scosby2 and your friendship. As I'm listening, I'm imagining the two of you on the rail giving Tom thumbs-ups as well as other scosby2 traditions.
I'm using the app Santo mentioned. It does work quite nicely. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah, Seth and I had just met, me coming over to his house for a while before the show. During the show, I was regularly looking over at Seth, he and I exchanging wide grins and :thumbsup:.
Having not read the last couple pages... The June 11th presale is still possible. The presale will be for last years attendees. That's how cloud 9 does it. So I'd assume that it would be a really quick day or two from the announcement to that presale. I still don't think I'm going to attend, but I'll probably buy a room with travel insurance just in case
Sooo....happy June 11th everyone! Is anything going to happen today?
the day is coming.... for an announcement :drum:

Hope you are right the wait is killing me
Annnnnnnd.....it's the 12th.
I expect we're waiting unti next week atr least. The head of artist relations for Cloud9 who is instrumental in the roll out of these musical adventures is responsible for one of the stages at Bonaroo. She is neck deep right now.

Nice inside scoop. Thanks. I'm not holding my breath.
This is F-ing killing me...
this is becoming such a drag. the idea of not seeing MMJ at least once this year is becoming very hard to swallow...

My condolences to you man. The withdrawal is real.
June 18th........... :undecided:
OBH just posted 'The day is coming...', so that's good, because I was beginning to think this day actually would never come.
Hopefully we're not just getting OBH news. :undecided:

Agreed!
Just give me the name of the album(s), or a 30 second tease...something!
judging by the 2014 roll call package and statement that pretty much says not much action if any in 2014 OBH could be the their next show....
"...we won't be offering a plethora of Roll Call specific events before 2015..." that leaves the door slightly open for a few 2014 shows I hope. :drum:
Hoping for an OBH2 warm up run at The Cap during the holidays!! Please.

Hahaha, I actually thought about it as I was posting, but more like if it somehow slows the forum down and if Riny will be most upset with me for this exaggerated use. :undecided: :tongue: :evil:

Anybody think it is likely they return to Portchester for a run at the end of the year? Or is it just a crapshoot right now in predicting whether or not they play any shows?

Hahaha, okay good, I feel better now. :thumbsup: But I'm sure there was something (or a few things) we were not allowed to do, just can't remember what it was? Talk about the secret romance Jim and Patrick have? Talk about what Patrick looks like without a beard? Post photos of Jim and Pooch in ponchos and have a poncho-off? Post gifs of Tom's head attached to a flying cat (with or without helmet)? So many questions and most of them photo-related. :shocked:

I pray daily for this as well. But alas, some direct feedback from people at Forecastle that spoke with certain somebodies, a 2014 Tour ain't gonna happen.
OBH, Album, then tour.
Looks like the guys took a year off - good for them ....and ultimately, good for us.

2015 will be great for us. I hope that certain somebody said some new songs will be played at OBH.
So, MMJ just retweeted an article with the audience recording for MSG NYE 2008....
Winter mini tour?
maybe the show is being released?
hopefully they're making holiday plans ;)
