Blake Mills was a solid opener. Only played a half hour.

How was Blake Mills? love his records..


Boring IMO, But Mumford made up for that.

As others have said leaving the baseball field was kinda hectic. I rode the bus in from Mid City and had to hustle my way into a cab that I just happened to see leaving a motel.

I thought the show itself was good, minus the fact they brought out Preservation Hall Jazz Band again

I guess someone on stage has to play something that doesn't suck balls

His drummer is the happiest person I have ever seen.

I didn't go to the New Orleans show, but saw them in Birmingham the next night.

Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that. Blake Mills drummer looked like he was really loving what he was doing. Made their whole set better.

I don't remember the drummer's name, but Blake introduced him as "this is [name] on the drums and smiles."

Did anybody else think the show was kinda short? They only played for an hour and 40 minutes. I expect that length at a smaller venue and for cheaper price. But when you're charging 70 a head and you're going on a pretty big tour, I would expect the band to play for about 2.5 hours. Especially when they have enough good songs to play for that long.

Yes. They had until 11:15 and ended with at least 25 minutes on the table.
