by a show of hands...
i have a "poll" question for you; when we play these upcoming shows, how many new songs do you want to hear vs. older, more familiar stuff? assuming the sound is CLEAR this time, of course...
we have begun recording and we're shooting for a Dec "release" of some kind...we will be shopping this to other labels for mass distribution and beyond, but we will not hold up the process of getting this music to the people who really matter; namely you. so, we're already working on a better mail order system as well as digital downloads...there will be new ninedays this holiday season...we're also working on more shows in NY and beyond... i am also writing my thesis on "Fate vs. Freewill in Moby Dick", so i'll be working on that, too...its not all fun and games, people. john
Wow - can't wait for the new stuff however it will be available!!! Also, is there any chance of still getting FTCJ on CD?
I'm near KC, so a show is probably not happening for me. But as for New vs. Old material..... I'd lean toward 50 - 50, or possibly a bit more of the old. Nine Days rules!! Cheers, Kent "Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."
hi ninedays members.
about your upcoming shows - i don't know if my opinion is relevant, cause i'm not a USA resident and can't appear for shows. but if you ask me, when i hear a band live i like to hear a lot of new material/ glad to hear about all thats happening. good luck with the recording process, label shopping and the thesis. * last question and i hope i'm not bugging: can you supply information about the SHU releasing process - will you release it? can you legally release it? and what happened with the rights in the end?

Well, as long as we're recommending labels and whatnot, I'll put Sixthman Records up there (Sister Hazel, Barenaked Ladies). They usually look for bands with previous experience (10+ years), so ND definitely fits that bill.
But, in response to John's original question, I would also say a mix of new/old stuff. You go out and gig to promote the new stuff, but people also want to hear "the classics".
isn't so soon that i will see a nine days's show...because i'm living in brazil, but if i went to EUA or nine days come to brazil is certainty that i will see the show...but in my oppinion i prefer to listen more old music than new...in my opinion wait when the new CD release to play the new songs in the show...like one guy said...70% ond songs...and of course 30% new one...ok?!
i'm from brazil so...if i write wrong...sorry!
I think a mix of old and new, but not quite as much old stuff. Of course "Absolutely" "If I Am" and maybe one or two more from TMC. From SHU "Good Friend" "Marvelous" "Favorite Song" "I Feel Fine", I'd say atleast 4 from this album. FTCJ, one or two from that. and then fill the rest with new stuff. It just depends on how long the set is
I'm sure that you guys would rather play more of the new stuff. Thats cool. but just put some old favorites in there also.. Alternate back and forth. Fire up some tunes from SHU and FTCJ.. I think you should distribute the new songs on CD/MP3 for us at the show. Yeah.. I like that idea alot.
I agree with Lou... I mofo'in love to sing-a-long.
I just returned from a 3 night stay at the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington seeing DaveMatthewsBand play. I am a huge DMB head now. Anyway, I must say that I have sung my heart out more at the few nine days shows i've been to, than I ever was able to at a DAVE concert... and thats what I love about you guys.. Bring on the new, but definately mix it with a few good old favorites, and throw in something rare pre-Madding crowd in there for the true fans...

I would go with the best of the old and a new song thrown in every third song or so. You have to keep your old fans happy with the old favorites, but you have to work enough new stuff into the set to have a future.
And while you are asking for opinions: 1) I prefer the old version of "Crazy" over the Madding Crowd version. 2) Tell Jeremy to bust out the saxophone - he's awesome! 3) I would rework the "Just as Through With You" tune - I don't know what it is, but there is something off with the chorus. Otherwise, rock on!! You guys are the best! Go for those sweet harmonies and catchy hooks and you will be set!
