December 30 has always been a major holiday for jambands. Nearly every major act took to the stage last night for their last standard show before busting out all the stops for tonight’s New Year’s Eve concerts. Let’s take a look at what went down last night across the country…

The Skinny – Most expected Ivan Neville of opening band Dumpstaphunk to sit in throughout the night, but it was Warren’s ABB band mate Marc Quinones who spent the most time on stage with the Mule. The Mule also enlisted Jimmy Vivino [Fab Faux, Max Weinberg 7] and Jeff Young [Jackson Browne, Steely Dan] to celebrate the life of Jazz Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, who passed away on Monday in LA. Of course, Neville did make his way to the stage for a cover of Little Feat’s Spanish Moon.

New York Magazine spoke with James and drummer Patrick Hallahan about MMJ’s epic rise, James’ epic fall and what we can expect for at Wednesday night’s New Year’s show…
“After this huge election, and such a big, crazy year that had so much to do with New York for me, to be tying things to a close at the Garden is such a big deal,” says James, who admits to being nervous about his injury while still promising the usual marathon performance, special guests, and new covers. “It’s one of those transformative nights, because no matter how bad the year has been, I feel like I’ve got a new chance.”
Marathon performance, special guests and new covers are the key words we’ve been hoping for and expecting. We already know that Sex Mob slide trumpet great Steven Bernstein and sax star Jeff Coffin will join the band and that we’re in for some Zeppelin covers, but we’re sure MMJ has plenty of tricks up their sleeves. Tickets for Wednesday night’s show are still available.
