Have absolute dead center, front row tickets (pit) to see My Morning Jacket at the Chicago Theatre on the 29th. It has been a long time since I have been this excited to go to a "concert."

The show was awesome! Wish I could rewind it, and do it again.

Anybody else from Chicago area go?

View of the 2nd night concert poster (silk-screen by Ryan Nole), stubs, and the playlist (stomped on by Carl the guitarist) below.

No "Dancefloors"?

Sounds like it was a great show! Hope to catch them live someday. The poster is incredible!

I was really happy with the setlist, despite no "Dancefloors"...

I have never bought concert posters before, but really liked the limited edition silk-screens that Ryan Noles did for these two Chicago shows, a different poster for each night. They were designed as a pair, and I am getting them framed to hang next to each other with the bull facing the lion and both animals framed by the conjurors (see pics below from Gigposters). I also picked up a copy of the poster from the MMJ Detroit show, also a silk-screen by Ryan Noles (see below).

Yeah, great set list, even without Dancefloors.

Wow, all of these posters are fantastic. Will definitely hunt them down. Congrats Geo!

The Chicago posters are under "Event Posters"...
The Detroit is under "Summer Tour" Posters

I've seen them about two dozen times.

Before they hit it BIG they would play around here in Louisville all the time.

One of my favs was a Derby Eve show where they played all 80's rock covers (while in costume)!

Another good one was a benefit for a place called the Rudyard Kipling (A couple blocks from my house) where Jim James played solo!

I've seen them at small bars with about 15 folks up to seeing them with 10,000 people!

GOOD TIMES!

You are a lucky dog! I went through withdrawal after just one show! :D
