just curious about what venue you think MMJ will play?...I live in MA and i'm guess they play the Bank of America Pavillion...holds about 5,000..great outdoor venue on the water...perfect for a summer MMJ show.
I still don't think MMJ can handle our outdoor pavilion unless they get the Black Keys double bill kind of thing going.
If not, I'm thinking it's time for a night at THE FABULOUS FOX. Jerry Garcia once came close to purchasing this threatre because he liked the sound so much. No GA seating but, it would be fantastic.
A third option, of course, would be my basement.
Hoping for the Mann in Philly, but realistically thinking it will be Festival Pier.
If fall/winter - I am hoping for a 2-3 night stand at the Vic in Chicago. If summer, I am hoping for the Pritzker Pavilion. Gorgeous venue, and lovely to look at the skyline. No more Riv, please! 8-) :-*
I'd love to see them at the Fillmore again, but I have a feeling they're going to play the Greek Theatre in Berkeley.

That would be sweet...I live just outside of Boston, and the Pavillion is a great place. They could also play at the Hatch Shell on the Charles. I'll be happy with any place in this area. Maybe in a couple of years when MMJ is huge they can rock Fenway
Sloss Furnace, plz.
sloss furnance would be sweet

Hatch Shell is usually for free shows but that would be cool.....I'd also love to see them play the new Boston Opera House if it was an indoor show.
2 nights Fox Theater atlanta, ga
QuoteI'd love to see them at the Fillmore again, but I have a feeling they're going to play the Greek Theatre in Berkeley.
i'd say you're feeling is correct :)
as for where they'll play in Minneapolis...
while i'd kill for 2 nights at First Avenue, $100 says they play Orpheum (maybe like early October? :-X)
Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa!!!! ;D
The Ryman again... Would LOVE to see them play the Palace in Louisville though... amazing place to see a show!
QuoteCain's Ballroom in Tulsa!!!! ;D
That AND Zoo Amphitheater!
Speaking strictly acoustics...
The Ryman was very good. Roxy was pretty good. Sloss was awful.
Speaking strictly atmosphere...
Roxy was very good. Sloss was pretty good. The Ryman was awful.
God, I hope they play the music farm...
AMEN... I have seen so many shows there (Ryman) and, while the bands might feel the history, I HATE the atmosphere... I really wish they would play Van Meter auditorium... o a boy can dream!

Yep, it's hard to get your balls rocked off at the Ryman, where you have to risk getting tossed out for disorderly by the 68-year-old grandmothers there part-timing as aisle bouncers.
Well I would sell my soul for a date at Toads Place in New haven but I'd settle for the Chevy Theater in Wallingford, ct.

i'm just back to this board after not visiting for quite some time, so i'm kinda overwhelmed...sorry if this has been covered, so when will there be a US tour? fall?
I live in Boston, so i agree BoA Pavillion would be awesome - if it's not past September...with their Z tour and Okonokos tour both hitting the Avalon (which is closed for the next year) - which is around 1500/2000, do you think they are ready to step into a 5K venue? interesting...
probably House of Blues in San Diego....
but i would prefer the 4th and B for nostalgic reasons.......and PB & J sandwiches...
and I would probably give my left arm (the non-wanking one) to see them at this tiny place known as The Casbah....
QuoteWell I would sell my soul for a date at Toads Place in New haven but I'd settle for the Chevy Theater in Wallingford, ct.
I would love either of those...what about The Bushnell in Hartford...

To answer your question, Yes I definitely think they can play the BOA. They sold out Radio city (6000+) and are headlining Red Rocks... they have a big following in Boston....both those Avalon shows were overcrowded...there are acts playing BOA this summer that are not as nearly as big as MMJ....not sure if it will sell out but def will be the perfect venue for them...and maybe they will get a solid opening band which always helps sales. The Black Keys opening like Red Rocks would be asking too much but i'm already seeing them do their headlining show next month at the Orpheum so I can't complain.
What about Jones Beach...one of the prettiest places I have ever seen music...right on the water

The Fox would be niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. I have a big f'n backyard. Beer and char grilled meats on me.
please to God don't play The Depot......please play Saltair or something but not The Depot.

Wilco was just at the Shubert, great show, great place come on MMJ.
I'm guessing it will be The Fillmore Detroit which would be a shame because as soon as Live Nation took control of it, security became a bunch of assholes. They yelled at my little sister for texting on her phone, saying that if she was caught taking pictures again, her phone would become property of Live Nation and be confiscated. They also yelled at people would were standing in the last row of people balcony. The last few shows I've been to there, they've pushed everyone out of two of the six, maybe eight, doors in the front entrance so they could take peoples half full water bottles as they left the building.
QuoteAMEN... I have seen so many shows there (Ryman) and, while the bands might feel the history, I HATE the atmosphere... I really wish they would play Van Meter auditorium... o a boy can dream!
I feel you. I've been bitching to everyone about how I'm tired of going to the Ryman to see shows. If you go somewhere 15-20 times a year you kinda pick up on the nuances of a place. You see the homely atmosphere change from the welcoming atmosphere you've known since childhood into one where you can't feel what you're hearing.
I'm tired of getting hassled by ushers for standing too close to a display with my beer and the same lady that has owned the task of yelling, "If you're here for the show you need to go around to the other door" to every one who is already on his way to the other door, has been there since I was 12. I watched that lady grow old and still I get that crap...I just get the same cold feeling from all the familiar faces there.
blah blah blah...I hope they come to the Ryman!
EDIT: yeah...i had just gotten back from the bar so......
The Riverside Theater in Milwaukee. Just a hunch ::)
QuoteThe Riverside Theater in Milwaukee. Just a hunch ::)
I saw Alter Bridge at the Eagles Club In Milwaukee, It was my 1st time seeing a show there, I really liked it alot, the bathroom reminded me of a morgue. I love old buildings like that. It had been years since I was up there in Milwaukee, I must say the city has changed alot, I was very impressed.

I hear ya on the Riv, I saw The Black keys there a couple of weeks ago, they have really let it go down hill, I would almost characterize it as a shithole. The seats are falling apart, not enuff bartenders, and they over sold the show. What about Charter one pavilion on Northerly Island ( the old Meigs Field ). I have not seen a show there yet have you ? Pritzker pavilion or the renovated Oriental Theater would be awesome. Going to see Alter bridge at House of blues with my wife 2 nites in row, this will be my first show at the HOB.
jacket is going to play at a little known venue on Bluebonnet Lane called my house.
state theater in starksville, mississippi....would be amazing
The Greek Theater - Berkeley CA (w/Black Keys)
The Fillmore - SF (4 NIGHTS!)
The Warfield - SF ...its a a bigger than the fillmore, but they could pull it off

I really want to see something at the Symphony Hall especially Jacket but besides that the Ryman is really the only other alternative. City Hall and War Memorial would be nice if they could fit now, Sommet's too big and simply fuck the municipal. Don't get me wrong obstructed views suck ass, sitting uncomfortably close to a stranger on a hard ass bench is not the coolest, and fantasizing about bitch slapping one of the golden girl ushers is..........well that's just fun. Whenever I get down about the Ryman I just think of Hank playing his acoustic on that very stage or Jim opening with Nashville to Kentucky and remember that it
IS the Ryman and us middle tennesseans are pretty f'ing lucky.
QuoteThe Greek Theater - Berkeley CA (w/Black Keys)
Through the Live Nation rumor mill I have heard that this is a strong possibility..... ;)

I agree with all this. With City Hall closing, somebody at the War Memorial Auditorium needs to get off their lazy ass and start booking shows. It's a great venue, and we need more mid-size venues around here.
I LOVE the Ryman. The ushers are completely clueless, but I don't let them ruin my good time.
I want to see some US dates! when are these coming?
Quotejacket is going to play at a little known venue on Bluebonnet Lane called my house.
lol, i just rode my bike by your road yesterday, as a matter of fact. i'll travel to your house to see mmj.
QuoteI want to see some US dates! when are these coming?
by May 12th is my guess :)
a west michigan date is highly unprobable as always. which always pisses me off. but if anything.... Kalamazoo state theater.

You're right...with it being a few weeks since my last show there my frustration has lifted and I'd love to see them rock it. I saw Crosby and Nash at War Memorial and that place is spectacular. I couldn't stop thinking about how badass it COULD be if TPAC didn't run it. eeeeeeeehhhh. :P Still, that wouldn't stop the music.

When did City Hall close? I had no idea!
I loved seeing MMJ there.
As far as where I would like to see them play here in good ole Nashville. I live out by the YMCA camp Widjiwagon. There is a killer little outdoor Ampitheater there that would just be amazing. One problem is there can be no alcohol and it would be run by the YMCA. So I guess thats out. The next best option will have to be Riverfront Park in downtown Nashville. That would be great!
I think they'll play Thomas Wolfe in Asheville. If not that, then 2 nights at the Orange Peel sounds about right.

They just announced it last week. It will be closing in September. At least they're replacing it with something we really need....Urban Outfitters! THANK GOD!
The guys who run it say they will start a new club somewhere else, but who knows how long that will take?
Let's see, the last couple times they came around Los Angelees they played the House of Blues and the Wiltern. I'd love to see them at the Wiltern again, but I bet they'd need a bigger venue this time around. I guessing the Greek. It'd be awesome if they played there, I'd love to see them outdoors here in LA.
