Is it possible that our beloved MY MORNING JACKET would play a forum fans only show in Louisville(or anywhere) for us. I Have loved every show that I have been to. They are the BEST band in the world. I just kinda miss them playing the old stuff. You know what im talking about. The band has progressed. I understand that they have to continue to gain a new fan base. At the same time, I think that the fans who have been with them since the beginning should be rewarded. Im not trying to say we are better than the new fans. Im just saying that I love the old stuff as much as I love the new stuff, but I dont get to here it live anymore. I hope you here me Jim. I love you guys Jim.
Your friend,
Mickey Reds ;D
the forum would have a lot more users if that ever happened. But it would be incredible!
You should have to fill out an application and undergo psych testing in order to be a fan. Oh, that's so mean...
While we're dreaming:
How about a ten day festival in Louisville that consists of seven nights (an album a night, plus one b-side and one covers night) of concerts plus three evenings where the band just hangs out with the fans?
Reservations required.
I would probably sell my car, dip into my 401k, empty my savings and max out all my credit cards for that one.
No doubt!

why do that when we can just have 1 day of 7 albums and the other 9 days we get to hang out with the band. sound good?
wow you still have a 401k to dip into?
I feel you on this though. I'd be happy if they did what Wilco did this past Winter in Chicago - they played every song they've ever written or recorded, ever, over a 5 night residency. And they'd like to do this periodically. And it sold out all 5 nights.
I'd put that in my pipe and smoke it.
Yeah! That would work for me.
I've been to a fan-only show (Pearl Jam at the Vic) and it was disappointing to say the least.
A residency, however...I'm down with that! So down.
I volunteer to do whatever needs to be done to make this happen. Bonus: I'm an unemployed student. Translation: will work for whiskey and hoppy brews
Im in. I also will work for whiskey. ;)
I just registered...just in case...
Nice name and nice first post.
Welcome. :)
Thats what I like to see! Welcome.
7 crazy nights!

Thats what im saying!

I love the Vic boot. Matt Cameron singing Black Diamond??!?!?!?! :o
What's not to love?
I believe I would attend... Maybe if someone twisted my arm just a little......
hell- i'd sell my POS car and dip into KY's 401K too! I'd do whatever I could to get to a show like that. Oh man- I so wish it. But what about forum fan's friends who are fans? are they to be invited?
Sure.

Haven't heard it. Didn't even know that happened, actually. But I couldn't imagine that sucking unless something extremely, extremely shitty happened to me that day.

Indeed, there's a long story behind the suckage of that show. But simply put, there was a bad vibe in the place; it was half-full while people were begging to get inside, and the people who were lucky enough to get inside were more interested in one-upping each other with their superfan stories, getting into fights over their place on the rail, and literally trampling people to get posters than actually, ya know, seeing the show.
It was an extremely hot day (95+, I think) and some people had been waiting on the hot sidewalk since 7 am; I think that must have contributed to their sour mood. I have been in some disgruntled concert crowds, and this was the worst; such a shame. It definitely put a damper on what could have been a really cool experience.
But I'm confident that we would not have this problem with MMJ fans, since they're the best fans in the world. :)
Damn right we are! ;)
I'm new...but I want in! I'll buy the whiskey - ok??!
Were gonna need ALOT of whiskey!

Dude, get over it. New member doesn't necessarily mean new fan. I just joined to "gain" cool info about my favorite band and maybe make a few new friends along the way. Sorry if you take issue with that. I come in peace. I think you should just chill, Homie.
Ha! Funny! cool info..... ;)
