I'll tell ya, UHollis is the shit. He got this up here hours before it the Mofro site or blog!
OMG, this is awesome. This is such a great annual event. I am so stoked that JJ's on the bill. I was just in Asheville last week so my chances are slim to making it back in December but I hope a bunch of y'all get to go!
Ok...how can we all come together and make just enough $ to pay bills, eat, & travel to see MOFRO!?
Seriously, I'm not sure how much equity I have in my house due to the economy & such. But if someone could propose a good business plan, Casa de Dude goes on the market!!!
JJ...your a business man...any ideas? Will work for MOFRO! ---------- "throwin' pennies on the tracks and playin' in the rain...oblivious of the world around us that was going insane"
how about if we get a big bus, and follow them around and cook for them wherever they go? like meals on wheels.I don't how they feed themselves. I think sometimes people cook or get it catered . hey I can bake and I'm a pretty good cook too.
I'll drive the "HO-CAKE MOBILE" ---------- "throwin' pennies on the tracks and playin' in the rain...oblivious of the world around us that was going insane"
Make on offer..all wil be seriouly condiderd Thanks! Gonna miss that MOFRO MAGIC :(((

Looks like JJ showed up during the Allmans set the first night
ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND Don't Want You Cross To Bear Gilded Splinters Statesboro Blues Stone Me w/ JJ Grey vocals Who's Been Talking w/ Robben Ford & Ivan Neville Dreams w/ Karl Denson Liz Reed w/ Tal Wilkenfeld The Weight w/ Ron Holloway, Danny Louis, Susan Tedeschi, Joan Osborne, Ruthie Foster Mountain Jam Intro Dazed & Confused w/ John Paul Jones Mountain Jam w/ John Paul Jones
ENCORE One Way Out w/ Roosevelt Collier & JJ Grey Harp
Edit: There was a taper because parts of the show are already on bt.etree.org. Don't see Mofro or Allman Bros yet, though.
Hmm, I didn't realize the band wasn't going, only JJ. So there was no Mofro set. Looks like it was a great show. Setlists are available at http://www.xmasjam.com. ---------- Nothin' like a little front porch soul to cure your blues!

Just reading that setlist has my heart all a flutter! As if a cover of The Band's The Weight wasn't enough to cause cardiac arrest, then JPJ sitting in for Dazed & Confused was damn near enough to cause me to flat line! It seems that John Paul Jones sat in with quite a few acts for several Zeppelin covers.......and these near death experiences are completely eclipsed by the mere thought of JJ covering And It Stoned Me! Had I been there, a defibrillator would have been necessary to resuscitate me!
