Jim James, Conor Oberst and M, Ward – Minneapolis 2004

There’s gonna be books written about this tour someday. It was something that really didn’t get a lot of space in the newspapers. My Morning Jacket weren’t the headliners that they are now, Conor Oberst was breaking out with modest success from Bright Eyes’ excellent “Lifted…” CD, and nobody really had M. Ward on their radar screens yet. the tour played like an experiment. Matt Ward would come out and play a couple of tunes, Jim James would show up on stage at times for backup guitar and vocals, the same with Mike Mogis. Then Matt would leave and the roundtable of musicians continued. Conor makes an appearance, Jim leaves, Matt shows up, instruments are exchanged. And in the end, they’re trading off verses for one of the great collaborative performance tours I’ve ever seen.

What would a NYE Party have been like…if we were to all get together? I picture either a Gangsta Pool Party… or something exactly like this:

My Morning Jacket – Live at the Vogue Theater

My Morning Jacket are a band. That’s all I want you to know about them. They’re my own personal little band. They’re mine, I found them and I want to keep them for my own and I don’t want you to have them. Unless you take good care of them and don’t treat them poorly and return them to me unscathed.

This live show finds my friends at the Vogue Theater in Indianapolis, Indiana, October 23rd, 2005. The set fucking smokes, as is the usual with MMJ. [It must be nice to wake up in the morning and go "You know what, I'm gonna rock some faces off tonight"] . A highlight is a 9-minute “Run Thru” and the “Gideon” w/ Ms. Kathleen Edwards. And of course, a fantastic “One Big Holiday”.
