I am soooo excited to see this tomorrow and now Jim James goes and falls of the stage tonight. I really hope this isn't canceled. I can't believe he's playing such a tiny venue.

    Unfortunately it is cancelled.

    Yup, I saw that. Hope they give me a refund.

    I feel like a kid who wakes up and is told that Xmas is cancelled. Wonder if the shows tomorrow and Friday will be cancelled. Oh well, seeing Kings of Leon in Vegas Saturday so at least I have something to look forward to.

    You will be getting a refund; I just got an email from Obama headquarters to that effect.

    from myspace:

    As some of you may have heard we had to cancel our show last evening in Iowa City. We were finishing up the last few bars of "Off The Record", and just like any other night we were all having a great time. Jim went to get closer to the audience on his side of the stage, and as he moved forward to step onto the sub-woofer the lights darkened, and he inadvertently stepped off the stage. Upon falling, he suffered traumatic injuries to his torso, and was immediately taken to the hospital. Per the doctor's orders, Jim will be off the road and recovering from his injuries for the next two to three weeks. Sadly, we must postpone the two shows in Chicago on Thursday and Friday until further notice.

    For those who attended the Iowa City show, we would like to extend our gratitude for your understanding and cooperation. We take our fans and performances very seriously, and would never cancel a show unless it was absolutely necessary. Please know that we will be making every effort to return to your fine city.

    Thank you so much to our fans for the kind sentiments and well-wishes on Jim's behalf. We hope for Jim's quick recovery and to be back out on the road soon.

    With Love,
    My Morning Jacket
