First European date!

[CC]

Right, I won't pay 60 bucks and NOT see MMJ! So this is a question to the mighty Riny: Is it possible to get an "officialisation" of the Pukkelpop appearance? Or for that matter of some more european gigs? I can't imagine they'll only play Pukkelpop.

I don't have official word about pukkelpop but you know, it's up on their site, very good chance they'll be there. there will be more european gigs for sure, it's all bein put together and a full list will be announced in a few weeks.

Thanks for the quick answer Riny, I'm gonna give it a shot! But as Chills said, I won't get too emotional about it. I'll save all the enthousiasm for when they'll actually be on that stage; THEN I'll freak out  ;D

No no, I got my 'Jacket flower' picked in Brussels in 2003. (You might have read this before) Jim had the flu and couldn't sing (well he could sing a tiny little bit, just enough to leave us drouling all over the place. So a couple of weeks later we (my brother and I) went to Tilburg, Holland, where I got stung with the MMJ virus. It was the best thing I've ever seen, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. This was the setlist:

1. Mahgeetah
2. Dancefloors
3. Masterplan
4. Heartbreakin Man
5. The Way That He Sings
6. Lowdown
7. Just One Thing
8. One Big Holiday
9. I Will Sing You Songs
10. Steam Engine
11. Golden
12. One In The Same  :o  8)   :o
13. Easy Morning Rebel
14. Run Thru


Since then we only got cancelled shows (but I'm over that now  ;) )

My "not getting too excited tactics" are bound for failure.

Magic Numbers
MMJ

Radiohead

on one day.

It was the best thing I've ever seen, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Alas, I'm still a Jacket virgin.
I've been in Japan for 6 years now. MMJ have played here twice, once in 93 & again last year. I couldn't make it to Tokyo last year & didn't know they were here in '93 (I wasn't such an internet geek back then ;) )
No kidding, I was watching Ben Harper last night thinking this is good but I only wish it were MMJ.
I still waiting for their first headline tour here in Japan. There were rumours of it happening before Jim got sick but I doubt it will happen now. Hopefully with the next album!  :)

[Mr. T.]

Here's a big pile of hoping! I hope you won't have to wait until the next album

Me too. You think you love them now - just wait till you see them live  :o

[dragonboy]

Thanks guys! Here's hoping they get confirmed for Pukkelpop & make it back to the UK soon too  :)

[Mr. T.]

Allrighty then! I got myself a ticket!

I'm hoping for some confirmation pretty soon now. The earlier the people know of a show, the more people eventually will show up...

So who's going? I know Chills is. Anyone else?

Confirmation on the festival site seems enough for me. This is happening for shure. Besides, looking at the Bonnaroo setlist, they should just cancel the other bands and let MMJ play all day long!

Mon The Jacket,

Europe awaits.  The last (and only) time I donned the Jacket was Sunday 23rd November 2003 in King Tuts, Glasgow (the ticket is still in my box of green delight). I have been kidding myself that luminaries such as Sufjan Stevens, Broken Family Band and ,of course, Frightened Rabbit (Myspace check em oot) have been rocking my live music cravings for too long. Now is the time for the real deal - never before have I experienced such power , nay pleasure, nay life blood akin to the Jacket. The only thing I have to do now is tell my wife to be that we are no longer headed towards the Caribbean for our honeymoon, but in fact to a field in the low countries for a divine experience. Hope it happens.

Glasgow's new festival 'Indian Summer' is calling out for MMJ. After all the promoter looks after MMJ when they are in town.

Mon the Jacket (it's a Glasgow thing)

And it fits with Electric Picnic in Ireland - should I get a job as a booking agent. Answers not necessary.

I got my thursday pukkelpop ticket!

Man, I think that thursday 17 august  will be remembered as the greatest festivalday in Belgium ever!

Great! That'll be three of us in the Marquee-tent.  ;)

PS: Let's hope Radiohead won't be to sleepy
;D

[Mr. T.]

Allright!

Check out the "news" page! Pukkelpop is official from now on. We're one step closer... :)

Uk and Spanish fans can start their cheering too  8)

If you visit Belgium, you won't have to drink Heineken. That's a really good reason  ;D


Hope the organizers don't program MMJ and Radiohead at the same time. I'm guessing they will  ::)

Whats wrong with Heineken?!?! My favorite bier!
