My Morning Jacket Headlining 2011

You can't go? I'll take it off your hands .

The mixing on the feed was AWFUL. Vocals were WAAAAAY too low and everything else was mixed too high.

God was it good live!! Set of the year

Yeah, no fucking question. That was just... Wow.

So, MMJ 2013 LN What set? Should we start the campaign now?

That would also be fantastic.

Did anyone record the stream? I'd love to watch it.

This isn't a bootleg since they allow audio recording... but heres my tape

By far the coolest Mars Volta fan I've ever met.

Easily the best set of the weekend. Probably the 2nd best show Ive ever seen next to The Wall. Going to see them again in Columbus in a couple months. Anyone know how long their normal shows usually run?

I can't begin to express how amazingt this show was. So I just want to thank everyone in the pit for their great vibes and kindness. I proposed to my girlfriend during steam engine, she said yes. Absolutely amazing show and weekend. Thank you all!

That is one epic engagement. My friend got engaged at the Silent Disco this year. Bonnaroo set him up and had them do it through the head phones and had people filming for what the girl thought was a documentary for the 10 yr reunion.

That glow stick war was awesome. I was front row and saw the bouncer yell "OhShit" and look in amazement. I turned around to see thousands flying. Tell me that was for your enagement.

on carl's side of the stage

loved it

Such an amazing show. I was also in the pit, over on the far side by the VIP hill. I really wish they could have kept on going, because it was so obvious they still had more left in them. Oh well - they'll come out with a new album in a few years and be back as a headliner or maybe late night on What.

Titanium Exposé - congratulations and best wishes! I can hardly think of a more beautiful way to start your engagement.

Got the pit for this show. My first time really being in the pit (not just walking in towards the end of a set). I was with rdk0r and Ol' Dirty. Had a smile on my face the entire time. Just magical.


And I knew they'd play with Preservation Hall Jazz Band (who didn't play with them this weekend lol?)


Only slight disappointment for me was earlier in the day Jim James cancelled his advertised performance in the movie tent with Preservation Hall after they screened the documentary about the pres. hall. It was a good movie and the performance from the jazz band was awesome as well......but it was clear most people were there (and waited a while) to see Jim James with the band in a small setting. After the jazz band got off stage the entire crowd stood on it's feet for like 5-10 minutes watiting for something......either Jim James or an announcement that he wouldn't be there. Eventually someone said he cancelled to rest up for the show later. Understandable......just a slight disappointed. I know Belgian Manders was really looking forward to seeing it (leading a lot of "JIM JAMES" chants).


Amazing co-headlining show though. This >> Primus (and LED drops/parachutes) >> Arcade Fire was pretty amazing.

I agree... I imagined this night in my head for months leading up to last weekend and it ended up being even better than I thought possible. At the last minute I decided that I would head out of MMJ to catch an hour of Primus so that I could see the shows with my friends and meet up with my gf for Arcade Fire. After the amazing first hour of their set, I realized leaving MMJ at that point was going to be one of the hardest decisions I've ever made, and that if I ever get to meet Jim James that's what I'd tell him.

I ended up leaving and enjoying the hell out of Primus while walking around the which stage field upset that I had not remembered how many people would be around the huge bobbleheads where I was supposed to meet some friends. I regret after hearing the rest of the MMJ stream that I was not there in the good spot I had, but realized that I will never listen to Primus the same way and gained a new favorite band to put on throughout the year from that show.

We gave up on finding my gf about half an hour before arcade fire and was still able to get in the very end of the pit, which was awesome.

I enjoyed Arcade Fire but definitely left that field feeling like only half of MMJ was better than AF's whole show. Arcade Fire didn't really mix up their set list or jam out their songs in a different way. I kind of felt like it was the same show I had seen online several times this year.... although it was still very enjoyable

It seemed to me, though, that the crowd responded much more positively to MMJ who continues to improve on their classics and throw in surprises to every show. It also seemed to me that MMJ cared a lot more about being at Bonnaroo than Arcade Fire did and the entire experience, as a whole, made me a bigger MMJ fan than I ever thought I could be. It was a Friday night I'll never forget.
