MMJ at MSG for NYE

MMJ making the big time, alright. Personally, I liked their older rootsier stuff more, It Still Moves is my favorite one of their albums, but they've blown up with the more electronic sound, so apparantly more people are feeling that. Great original musicians that put on a hell of a show, should be good on new years.

The year of the Jacket!

I thought Phish was to play MSG NYE

^^^ That's okay, Phish is just holding out for a Big Cypress 10th anniversary next year. Let MMJ have their moment in the sun.

omg...im there

I am anxiously awaiting Radio City and they blow me away with this. HELL YEAH!!!! I also dig the older stuff more, but don't want to knock it until I see the new stuff live at one of the greatest venues in the world. I LOVE RADIO CITY AND I LOVE MMJ! I will be creaming myself next Friday night.

well, at least I now know one place I won't be on new years.

Panic in Denver or Phish @ Big Cypress... hmmmmm... Florida it is! But I still love me some MMJ!

Big Cypress scares me. One way in, one way out. Reservation cops circling with wheelers. seems like a huge bust just waiting to happen...

Awesome this is going to be fun!

MMJ NYE MSG NYC

I thought this was an article about MMJ deservedly scoring a prime NYE gig? Or do we just post our dreams and thoughts about other bands playing other locations here? And Lakai, your negative posts on every MMJ article are not only tiresome but predictable. Your profile says you like catching the best shows, but you're depriving yourself of one of the very best dude, and I for one am glad you are.

Yeah, all you Phish fans that are hoping and dreaming, keep it up, you never know. While you are praying for a reunion you will continue to miss out on great new bands. Shit, if you hope long enough, maybe it will happen!

Well put. Seeing MMJ in those small clubs and bars back in the day was the shiz. Even though MSG is a great step forward, I'll miss catching MMJ at those smaller more initmate venues. It's a completely different experience. At least, for now, Big Monkey shows can be enjoyed in that type of environment.

MMJ at the garden on new years = VERY NAAYYYCCEEE. but it makes my holiday celebration plans harder to figure out....Moe at radio City? MMj at the garden? or make the trip to Chicago for umph? anyway it pans out its gonna be rooockkkiiinnnn...

Seeing one of your favorite bands blow up can suck because it means playing big venues...but in this case it rules because this generation needs a bigtime arena rock band and MMJ lives up to that live.

Ha, Good luck topping Phish NYE @ MSG...

as far as I'm concerned it will never be done

Sounds like a good time, but unfortunately, I will be packing/leaving for Jam Cruise...

^^^^ SAd but True.... But even though I'm not a MMJ fan, or really give a shit about them, I'm glad to see them take this huge step. Madison Square Garden is a legend, and I'm happy to see them their. So where is the Phish Reunion ( Big Cypress sounds like a disaster, FL sucks imo.), hopefully next year at MSG/?

I'm sorry but i don't really get it... MMJ just seems SO overrated to me. I've yet to see them live but they're records all sound so mediocre i feel like somethings eluding me.

thisiswhathappenslarry - you get the prize for best name on jambase.

So MMJ gets a new years eve show at the garden and all the commentary revolves around knocking MMJ and proclaiming the greatness of phish?

Are you scared of another great band?

I know where I will be brining in the New Year!! MMJ ROCKS if you haven't seen them live, that sucks.. until then don't posting your bewilderment on MMJ news, get educated and keep your negative comments for.... dmb.

I def. agree that thisiswhathappenslarry is the best name on Jambase

Sounds like it'll be a show for the ages! A few years back, MMJ was supposed to open for The Black Crowes at MSG on NYE, only they canceled last minute because of the lead singers health. I was pretty bummed, being exposed to new music and all. However, they were replaced with the TAB, which I didn't mind because just hearing Trey's guitar at MSG again was glorious! Yes, it does suck that small club bands are now playing arenas, but if they're that good...and it doesn't hurt that Rolling Stone mentions them every issue. Congrats to MMJ at their second first time around!

Right on, goldphish1! Finally someone else that knows of Big Monkey. Awesome band.

Hey, at least we don't get any stupid Roo-Roth-ACL comments cause he's at BROO!

This is awesome news for a band climbing the ladder. MMJ will play an awesome show at MSG. "Z" is my favorite.

We are coming from the cornfields of Indiana to the big city for this show. I hope i make it around ok. any New York City tips?

Amen to no Roo-Roth-ACL comments. I can't believe MMJ is playing MSG, totally crazy. I don't know if they're big enough yet to do a full tour of arenas, but it looks like this is the year they absolutely blow up. Cheers to them. They've been road warriors for years and years.

About the picture in the pro-poster above;

Looks a bit phishy to me? Anyone know when? I am unsure about those two screens, but the lights sure are memorable.

Still waiting to see another MSG show !!!

On second look ... it has to be them.

AC/DC Bag was Red and White ... 12/30/97?

MY AFTERNOON PANTSHORTS

Rumor is Trey's hard time inspired him to write a gangster rap album. Enjoy!

The Jacket are amazing, I wish i could be in new york on nye. thisiswhathappenslarry gets another vote from me

mmj at red rocks with the keys!!

hell yeahh

why so many phish comments though? the article says nothing about them at all. many large acts have played at msg. guess i forgot this is jambase and that is all anyone has their minds on all the time.

this is great for the band. i agree about not being big enough for an arena tour YET. and enough of the phish talk. two completely different bands and styles.

couldnt agree more Ted Theodore Rogan.

PHISH was all set to to do the reunion show NYE at MSG ....

...Then Mike Gordon showed up to the Jammys in those incre3dibly gay purple velvet pants, and the other 3 guys said "No way in HELL!" ....

...Thus no PHISH reunion.

You guys think that MSG will sell out right away? I want to go to this show very bad but don't know if I should jump on it on Friday. Just for cash reasons. I hope not. And why all the Phish talk?? MMJ at MSG on NYE awesome! Hope it doesn't sell out right away! Im going!
