Has anybody been to a Mumford concert since Wilder Minds came out? If so, had anyone gone to a concert prior to that album coming out? Are they any different now?
With the Madison show coming up a week from today does anybody know how the General Admission floor seats work? Do people just start lining up outside the venue whenever they want? Any ideas as to how early people start arriving?

Unfortunately I can't answer any of your questions. I went to the Mumford show at the Marcus and was in the pit so A) it was super awesome because I was 20 feet from the stage and B) Mumford put on a good show.
I haven't seen them since the new album came out, which I thought really really sucked. We already had a next generation mellow UK-based Phil Collins wanna be band....they're called Cold Play.
Not sure what the show will be like with the new album, you'll have to report back.

I was at that show as well and thought it was outstanding, but I was in the section in front of the lawn, so not as cool as your experience I'm sure. Were the tickets in the front section assigned seating or was it GA by section or something? I know mine was an assigned seat.
I wasn't a fan of their new album at first but it has grown on me since. I have looked at some of their set lists and it looks like it's about 40/60 with new/old stuff of theirs. Listening to a recent concert of theirs at work and they still sound really good, but hard to tell from a video.
I am excited to have better seats (I'd hope) this time around, and to see them at (I believe) a smaller venue.

Our seats where GA for that section, so the earlier you got their the closer you could be to the stage and the more people you could have pressing against you from behind :o
It's definitely a smaller venue which I think would be good. Just as a point of comparison I've seen Zac Brown Band 3 times at Marcus, once in the pit, once in assigned seats under cover and once right in front of the grass.....ZBB in the pit was like 30% better than Mumford in the pit and ZBB under cover was probably the same as Mumford in the pit. So like I said Mumford is good and closer will be great.
If you've seen Avett Brothers at the Riverside(lower section) it should be a similar feel and experience to Mumford in Madison IMO.
Either way enjoy the show!

Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Neil Young...Mumford and Sons?
No thank you. The pick belongs in better, more capable, hands.

Very nice. Just out of curiosity, how early did you get to Mumford at the Marcus?

I'd say 45 minutes or so....it was about 3 over priced beers worth of time before they came on ;)

Here's a bonus cut, just because I like you:

You youngsters really missed out on some quality television.

On Friday afternoon Mumford announced that they were releasing a mini album in June. They released one of the songs on iTunes already and they played one of the other songs at the concert in Madison. Different genre than either their old stuff or their new stuff. I really like both of the new songs I've heard. I think the album has 5 or 6 songs on it.
The song they already released:

The song they played in Madison:

By the way I'm like 99% sure that the girls just to the left of me took this video, just for reference of my point of view at the concert.
-
The mini album they released is awesome. The only song from it I'm not a huge fan of is Si Tu Veux. Otherwise the other 4 are pretty cool.

for decades SD never toured ... until the record sales dropped and they needed the income, they have been touring their asses off ever since

I saw a great SD tribute band from Madison at Summerfest last year...I can't recall their name offhand.

Didn't know, but just looked it up. lol

Been too busy binge-listening to Hamilton to take the time to check out the Mumford and Sons. I have their other discs. I will have to get on the ball.

i think it was between steely dan and rocket surgeons...tough call, but pretty much the same thing, kinda ;)

BTW - The AE Sanford looks like it has the most uncomfortable inner ever, but it's actually one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever tried on. I think it's been discontinued, but if you're a fan, you might land a pair at the Bank or a tent sale.

Can you post pictures of the "Grady" and the "Rollo"?

Buy Florsheim shoes. Even Will Ferrell says so.

Never understood the point of an EP ("mini album") unless someone died or the band was breaking up.
Buckle down, record a few more songs and release a proper album.

Well, they made the album in 2 days with the group that was opening for them in Johanasburg.

That would qualify as a unique circumstance 8-)

Better than filling up an album with a bunch of crap like a lot of artists do.

Steely Dan???
In my experience, the Venn Diagram that contains "Trump Supporters" and "Country Music Lovers" are pretty much overlapping circles.

Listening to Loretta and Conway as we speak. Like Ellington said- only two kinds of music- "good"music and the other kind.

Is that an indictment of Trump supporters or country music lovers?

In the absence of a politics board, I am unable to answer that question.

The Diagram includes Steely Dan, the Eagles, Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw. It does not include
Hank, Merle, Gram Parsons or Lefty Frizzell. All genres include the good and the not so good.
