I haven't been to the Tower in a while. Is the pit the closest to the stage. Please excuse the stupidity of my question, I just haven't been there in +5 yrs, memory's a little weak.

peace,
Juliet

Does it actually say "pit" as your seat? That's weird. I've been there a few times in the past year or so and all shows had that front area open and people were all assigned seats. I assume if they have a "pit," everyone will be walking down and joining you.

[hellaciousc]

i don't recall seeing a 'pit' on the seating chart ticketmaster provided.

[motto]

The "pit" is the first 5 rows on the floor.  These are foldup chairs, instead of the typical theater seats bolted to the floor.

The best seating chart of the Tower (downstairs only) is here:

Also, for some weird reason Ticketmaster thinks the center orchestra seats are better than pit seats.  As of now pit seats are still available, but you have to choose "pit" instead of "best available".

So will this be the opening show? How kick ass if that happens, maybe a new song ooh I'm already so souped up I can't freakin wait to pop my MMJ cherry!

[PAjake]

yeah - I'd really love to be there.  Are there tickets left?
Anybody from West PA going over?

[MickeyReds]

the tower is a great place to see people perform. I saw the stones there. It Kicked ass

[EC]

Holy shit, it suddenly just hit me.  My Morning Jacket is playing in two fucking days!!!  How long has it been since they last all played together?

lalalalalafun!

[darkglow]

here's to hoping someone records this and gets it online before the run-up to bonnaroo.. would make a great roadtrip cd..  

btw i just talked to someone about the sloss furnace (they had a really old looking poster from a show that happened there) and i'm really contemplating driving down to b-ham on friday morning and hanging out at that place all day and then seeing my most favoritest band play in the "iron factory"

Hey is it just me or was that the shortest show ever?

[Rya]

Yeah -- Son Volt and MMJ ggot 45 minutes both. It wasn't a MMJ show. It was a AAA show at MMJ was just the last of 5 bands. But what a good short show, huh? I thought they sounded great.

Got to love the T-shirts and the conducter.  But what was with JJ's bandage?

[RGleason]

Thought the show was incredible, I was laughing when I saw they were coming out in the tuxedo shirts, but having the conducter come out was classic.
Dont remember the set exactly, but off the top of my head: they opened with what I assume was something new that rocked, one big holiday, the way that he sings, the bear, two songs i had never heard before which i assume are new i hope, then finished with mahgeetah. was worth every cent. son volt also played what i thought was an excellent set.

i thought wrong, it wasn't aired.
