CHICAGO POSTPONED - A NOTE FROM THE BAND

[lp]

As some of you may have heard we had to cancel our show last evening in Iowa City.  We were finishing up the last few bars of "Off The Record and just like any other night we were all having a great time.  Jim went to get closer to the audience on his side of the stage, and as he moved forward to step onto the sub-woofer the lights darkened, and he inadvertently stepped off the stage.  Upon falling, he suffered traumatic injuries to his torso, and was immediately taken to the hospital.

Per the doctor's orders, Jim will be off the road and recovering from his injuries for the next two to three weeks. Sadly, we must postpone the two shows in Chicago on Thursday and Friday until further notice.

For those who attended the Iowa City show, we would like to extend our gratitude for your understanding and cooperation.  We take our fans and performances very seriously, and would never cancel a show unless it was absolutely necessary.  Please know that we will be making every effort to return to your fine city.

Thank you so much to our fans for the kind sentiments and well-wishes on Jim's behalf.  We hope for Jim's quick recovery and to be back out on the road soon.

With Love,
My Morning Jacket

***   The Chicago shows will be rescheduled.  Please stay tuned to the website for updates!!!  ***

So sorry for you Jim, but I guess shit happens sometimes, and maybe this happend becuse of your intense on the stage wich I DON´t want be out of so I hope no one here put any blame on you.
Just hope you get well in your foot/leg and you recover for us scandinavians in november, we need some light in our dark months.

Too bad for all of you chicago people but I´m sured they make it up.

[jrod00]

That's a huge bummer for you guys in Chicago/those who have tickets to the shows.  Also a huge bummer for Jim and the whole band.  Let's hope he recovers and they can make it back your way soon.

[TheBigChicken]

Hey Chicago, The Whigs are playing The Riviera on Saturday night if you are missing the MMJ show

[jacksonmolina]

That sucks Jim! Thinking about you and hoping for speedy recovery!

Okay, so I've read that he did the splits and that he had traumatic injuries to his torso.  Should we also be sending well wishes to lil' Jim?

[cdf]

now how about some love for the people in I.C. that were there? "postponed" is much better than "canceled"...

ps: sorry about the cubs & sox.
