Wow.. MMJ and Wilco.. I bet that rocked.. That's a hell of a bill.

At the Agganis in Boston.....it was actually one of my favorite shows ever....I had heard of MMJ at the time but never seen them...i made a great decision to get there early and see their whole set.....it was awesome..and then Wilco put on one of the best shows i've seen them play...ended with Dylan I Shall Be Released with Tweedy in a BU hockey jersey they gave him....you kinda knew right then it was the last time MMJ would be opening for them...way too much energy and rock.

Agreed.....that is not my point...

 

Opening bands get very little respect (Califone being the one group I saw open for Wilco that actually garnered some well deserved attention.) I was just expressing that Low's low key performing style may not work very well in getting people's attention during what is usually a pretty tough slot.

My Morning Jacket did ok opening for Wilco...actually they rocked the house.

i remember a long time ago i had a great cover of wilco doing "Burned" it sounded like a studio version, but i can't figure out what it was from.

Wilco 6/28 at the Pavillion Ryan Adams 6/29 at the Somerville Theatre...as a huge fan of both i'm in Heaven.

i preordered the package, cd, dvd, and t shirt, DVD is fine, but my cd is completely messed up. I import into my itunes, and when i play it back it skips, some songs play like 1/2 the song and then morph into the next song.....funny because i had early version someone burned for me and that was completely fine, and I said, i'm getting the actually cd so i threw that one away...anyone else have this issue?

I've been to a ton of festivals over the years, bigger ones, smaller ones and i can tell you Memphis is one of the best. Its well run, and the local musicians there are as good as the bigger acts, plus you get to go to beale street when the main stages are over......and i actually think the lineup this year is great...for those going def don't go to Beale with out seeing

Richard Johnston (his shows on beale are legendary)

Corey osborn

Billy Gibson Band

Jerry Lee Lewis (just because you have to, he still puts on a great show)

and just about any band that play BB kings late night (last year Warren Haynes and Gov't Mule showed up when i was there)

i got 11th row for Boston

Festival Productions Announces Partial Lineup for Dunkin' Donuts Newport Folk Festival August 3-5

Allman Brothers Band To Perform on Saturday, Program!

NEWPORT, RI--Festival Productions is excited to announce that for the first time ever in the festival's long history, rock 'n roll's greatest jammin' blues band, the Allman Brothers Band will take the Newport stage on Saturday, August 4th at the Dunkin' Donuts® Newport Folk Festival. The Band will play a full, concert-length set as part of a sensational day-long program that also features the North Mississippi Allstars, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine), Assembly of Dust, and others, to be announced soon.

The Sunday, August 5th program welcomes back longtime festival favorites Alison Krauss & Union Station, featuring Jerry Douglas. The multiple-Grammy® winner joins Emmylou Harris, Amos Lee, Alejandro Escovedo, and bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley, among many others to be announced in upcoming weeks.

A program for Friday, August 3rd at the International Tennis Hall of Fame at the Newport Casino will be announced soon as well.

Reserved Seating Section added at Fort Adams!

For the first time since the festival has been held at Fort Adams State Park, reserved seats will be available, in addition to general admission seating. Folding chairs will be set up theater style on one half of the lawn facing the main stage. This will be a no cooler/no blanket zone. The other half of the lawn will remain open for general seating for those who like to arrive early and bring their own low-backed lawn chairs or beach blankets.

June 26th and June 27th...would work out nice for him to open for Wilco at the Pavillion the next night.

DBT rock....can't wait to see them again.

From his Gibson Guitar Blog.....

Been listening to new albums by Lucinda Williams (not my favorite, but definitely growing on me), Patti Griffin (excellent), the new Son Volt album (my favorite by them since Traces in 1995), and my favorite album so far this year, the new Rickie Lee Jones album, which is by far my favorite album of hers since her 1981 masterpiece Pirates. Additionally, someone played me an illegally acquired copy of Wilco

The White Stripes will be the band i tell my kids and grandkids about. They are amazing. When you see Jack live you really feel like your in the presence of one of the greats.

Would Absolutely love to see M Ward open for Wilco......who's with me?

M. Ward's first single from Post-War, "To Go Home" is now available here via Merge Records in North America & 4AD Records in Europe ( 7" vinyl + CD format). The single is backed by 3 unreleased B-sides - including M. Ward's first collaboration with guitarist Nels Cline on a cover of Jimmie Dale Gilmore's "Headed for a Fall" which features guest vocals by Jim James and Neko Case. Other special guests include: Howe Gelb, Tommy Larkins, and Chris Scruggs (Earl Scruggs' grandson)

So apparently Jack White wrote these "avant garde orchestral songs," recorded them, and is putting them out on XL Recordings. I just listened to three tracks posted on the myspace, http://www.myspace.com/alumiiinium , and some of its sounds pretty cool. Its called ALUMIIINIUM, and its kind of weird. MySpace has the whole press release etc. on there.

i don't think jack white has anything to do with it, they are just the stripes songs.

M Ward, mason jennings, neko case would all be great.

anyone notice this, i think its the 2nd song, the drums sound just like the intro to Kamera.

awesome show, was walking around portland this morning and saw Jeff jogging, said hi to him as he was going back into the Portland Harbor Hotel where they were staying, thanked us for going to the show, he rocks.
