I'm going to see them on Saturday at Red Rocks and I am pretty excited - mostly about going to Red Rocks......
I'm going to Red Rocks this Saturday too! Taking my Dad for a father's day show ;D
The Roll Call clusterfuck is making me anxious with that email they sent out today about NEEDING a laminate for early entry. Just last week he emailed them letting them know he hasn't received his Roll Call package yet (2 months later), and they told him he could just bring a print out of his receipt... So much for that. He contacted the people at Ground Ctrl and they said someone on site will give him a 2011 Roll Call card to get in. What the heck?
We'll still have a blast, I just hope our entry goes smoothly on Saturday. This is supposed to be a special trip and he bought a Roll Call membership just to get a good seat for this show. The company handling their Roll Call this year has been a mess.

Head over to the official my morning jacket forum for more details. From what I gathered they were saying IF you don't have a 2011 card or a 2012 laminate then you should e-mail them a few days before the show and they'll explain what to do.
People over there know more. I just contacted a dude from groundctrl about getting my package shipped.
I don't think it has been mentioned but for those like me who are unfortunate to make it to Red Rocks, you can watch the Saturday show live on channel AXS tv.

He emailed them and their solution was for some person onsite at Red Rocks to somehow get him a 2011 card on Saturday.
We re-read the email and it looks like I get a +1 with my laminate, so we're just going with that. I'm bringing my 2011 card just in case.
So the first night setlist was the shiz! From the MMJ boards: ROLLIN BACK THE WAY THAT HE SINGS HEARTBREAKIN' MAN THE DARK LOWDOWN OUTTA MY SYSTEM HOLDIN ON TO BLACK METAL FIRST LIGHT WAR BEGUN I WILL SING YOU SONGS WONDERFUL (THE WAY I FEEL) LIBRARIAN ROCKET MAN (ELTON JOHN) TONIGHT I WANT TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU WORDLESS CHORUS EVIL URGES TYRONE (ERYKAH BADU) MASTER PLAN WHAT A WONDERFUL MAN EASY MORNIN' REBEL IT'S ABOUT TWILIGHT NOW NEVER TEAR US APART (INXS) ANYTIME ---------------------------------------------- BUTCH CASSIDY VICTORY DANCE OFF THE RECORD COBRA ROCK THE CASBAH (THE CLASH) GIDEON
Can not wait till the stream tomorrow. Also, if you want an audio copy of the shows, you can get them here live.mymorningjacket.com/
So it turns out I can't go to the MMJ show here at Merriweather on 8/18. Grrrr. I have 2 seats in Row N center section. PLUS 2 VIP soundcheck passes. I'd love to get rid of them at 1/2 price to someone here, but the tickets are Will Call and I can't see a way around this part of their website:
NAME CHANGES ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Name changes are not allowed.
If someone is interested in these tickets and knows how to get around the Will Call issue (I can loan the laminate that allows +1 for soundcheck), let me know. I don't want these to go to waste - I'm blue enough that I have to miss the show...
Sorry to hear you can't make it to your show, toml30. I hope you get your tickets unloaded and that you get to see them really soon.
That's super nice - thank you. I can't really complain - I've seen them a lot - but with the good seats and the soundcheck stuff and Band of Horses, yeah, I was pretty excited.

So with the Spontaneous Curation thing, is that only for the first song of the night? That's what it looks like from the MMJ forum, but I'm not sure what the deal is with twitter. Do you basically tweet them a bunch of songs you want to hear?

Edit: Oh, do you have to be a Roll Call Member?
Pretty sure they just take what is requested the most or something like that. It's not just the first song but the whole shows setlist. The forum may have people listing one song but that's just because they really want that one.
My Morning Jacket will begin the Spontaneous Curation Series with their forthcoming European tour dates and extend throughout the entire US August and September run. Fan club members and concert goers will assist in curating each night's set list through Twitter as the band travels around the globe. The series will also comprise of the entire album catalogue and rarities, adding to the spontaneity and uniqueness each night. In keeping with the spirit of the Spontaneous Curation Series, no songs will be repeated for their back-to-back performances at Red Rocks Amphitheater.
You can request either through twitter or the forum. You don't have to be a roll call member.
It's cool that they are going to release the Red Rocks shows for download (audio). I need to find the video somehow. I had it on my DVR and watched it live, but it went past the 3 hour block I had scheduled. So it cuts out right as Oh Sweet Nothing starts.

That's what I would've thought, but when you get to the Curation part of the forum, it just says to post what one song you want them to open with. Then when I clicked to find the hashtag for the show I'm going to it brought me to the Roll Call Membership page.
Maybe I'll just spam their Twitter with a bunch of PHONEWENTWESTANDHOPEFULLYANDDEATHISTHEEASYWAYANDOTHERSFROMATDAWNFORMILWAUKEE posts and see if they get the hint.

I had the same issue I hope that they will re-air it soon! It'd be bonkers if they went through all that trouble just to show it once. (Right? haha)

Well here's more concrete info from their site. It seems like they are letting the most votes win for opener and what they open the encore with. I wouldn't be surprised if they see a song get a ton of votes and include it in the setlist anyway so it's worth suggesting a few IMO.
The Spontaneous Curation Series is currently underway in Europe and gearing up for the US run.
