They said they have their tech guru guy, I guess you would call him, Wade from Ground(Ctrl) working on it, looks like no one from Roll Call was able to get Nashville tickets yet.

The Nashville show just ended. Holy quack! Carl opened for a solid hour. Jim for over an hour... then... 45 minutes of My Morning Jacket. Jim's set sounded better than expected. A lot of jamming on the songs. Put it well over the 40 minutes of the album. You guys are in for a treat. One of the best nights of music I've ever seen.

I feel like Carl played for closer to an hour. He went on a couple minutes after 9. He was just hanging out after his set and we had our pic taken with him about 10:15. I high-fived him, then got all kinda shy panda and ran away. What a super nice guy! I've never seen footage of him solo. He did the one-man band thing so well. I didn't care for a couple of his songs, but I was super impressed.
Jim was on point. His beard is short, but his hair is magnificent... so much glorious. His band was great, especially the chick bass player. They really took the sound of the album to another level. While I feel the album sounds a bit subdued, the live versions are HUGE, and they jammed quite awhile on some of the songs.
It took awhile for Jim to come back out for Wonderful. I feel he chose that song because of the roll call bridge thing at Forecastle. It was the same vibe. He commented that he loved singing it with all of us. He had a huge smile on his face. When Carl jumped up and they started teasing Touch Me 1, I knew we were in for something special. I think that was my first Touch Me 1/ Touch Me 2 back to back.
I'm still in complete awe and euphoria over last night. I'm trying to remember every second of it.

And as we were leaving the Basement we saw Jim and his band on a balcony at the venue. They were so hyped up... bouncing around all happy. That was awesome. They enjoyed it as much as we did. We called out to them and they waved back. Overheard several "that was the best show of my life" comments.
Nice pictures Sarah! Ha I was literally standing right next to you during Jims set. I thought you was going to knock out that drunk lady that somehow managed to sneak up front and then argue the whole time to the girl next to her. It was a great show! I can not wait till the Cannery and then the Bonnaroo show.

Coooool! That was quite a show, huh?
That drunk bitch pissed me off more than once. She was asking someone if there was room up front and I told her there wasn't. She then said to me "what, are the My Morning Jacket fans going to kick my ass?". I just very calmly told her that we'd been waiting a long time for these spots so everyone would probably be mad. That seemed to pacify her for awhile. Then when I came back from the bathroom one time she was in front of me! I was going to let it slide because she was one person who was actually shorter than me, but then she was talking the whole time. I tapped her on the shoulder and said "if you're going to push your way up front the least you could do is SHUT THE FUCK UP." She left after that
for some reason I keep double posting, but only single clicking and deleting one post deletes both so I am keeping this one here to keep my other one, ok
