There is something special when the worlds of rock and classical music collide. After months of preparation, the end products are only performed a handful of times, creating something truly unique for the lucky attendees. The Barn will feature a different rock / symphony fusion weekly over the next several weeks in a new feature: Symphony Sunday.
Yes, MMJ is playing at Lollapalooza again this year.
Yes, MMJ is playing in Chicago on Friday. That show is sold out but there are plenty of alternatives for your show-going pleasure on that date.
Regardless, it'll be hard for either of those shows to top what you can listen to below. Their 2007 Lollapalooza set is one of those perfect festival sets, one that comes in at just the right length and song list to make you want to listen to again and again. The backing by the Chicago Youth Orchestra gives it that something extra that'll make this stand out in your collection -- check out the chilling "Gideon" and the smooth cover of Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" that makes effective use of every piece in the symphony.
